    Default Better understanding fiber lasers

    I "very" loosely understood how fiber lasers actually worked but I found this video on youtube that really helped me understand fiber lasers a lot better. Very cool, worth a watch if you're curious. I still can't believe how much lasers have changed in the last 30 years since I first started playing around with them!

    If you're the smartest person in the room, then you're in the wrong room.

    Excellent video. Now I understand why the high power fiber lasers wrap the fiber in a loop.

    Thanks!

    This was FABULOUS! I had never heard of there being fiber lasers. The YouTube video was extremely well done and made possible a general understanding of the science and technology.

    Thanks!
