An optical system for use in material processing includes a plurality of semiconductor diodes coupled to a beam combiner to generate a multiplexed optical beam. A cladding pumped fiber amplifier or laser receives the multiplexed optical beam and forms an intermediate beam having at least a first wavelength. An optical element receives the intermediate beam and forms an output beam with an output beam wavelength, wherein the output beam wavelength is at least in part longer than the first wavelength. A subsystem includes lenses or mirrors to deliver a delivered portion of the output beam to a sample. The delivered output beam has a temporal duration greater than about 30 picoseconds, a repetition rate between continuous wave and Megahertz or higher, and a time averaged intensity of less than approximately 50 MW/cm2. The output beam has a time averaged output power of 20 mW or more. |
