KSC - Kilowatt Signal Combiner
Combine the output of multiple kW class fiber lasers into a single fiber with high efficiency using one of these KSC Kilowatt Signal Combiners.
Based on our proprietary tapered fiber technology, KSC devices feature high optical efficiency which enables multi-kilowatts of laser power to be safely combined with up to 1.5 kW of backward power handling. They are characterized by low thermal slope and low M2.
