LASER SOURCE, PARTICULARLY FOR INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES

摘要

A laser source comprising a laser beam generating unit (2), including one or more diode laser sources (20), for generating a first laser beam and an optical amplification unit (6), including at least one amplificator module (60) adapted to be pumped with laser light derived from said first laser beam emitted by said generating unit (2) and to emit a second laser beam at its output having a higher beam quality and a lower power value with respect to said first laser beam coming from said generating unit (2). Between said generating unit (2) and said optical amplification unit (6) there is interposed a laser beam shifting and addressing optical unit (4) which includes an optical path selector device (43), adapted to direct said first laser beam coming from said generating unit (2) selectively towards a first optical line (44), for emission of a laser beam having a relatively higher power value and a relatively lower quality at a first outlet (U1 ) of said laser source (1 ) or towards a second optical line (45), for generating the emission of the laser beam having a relatively lower power value and a relatively higher quality at a second outlet (U2) of said laser source (1 ).
