| IPG Photonics Product Spotlight featuring Everything New & Enhanced |
 Diode Laser Products - IPG Photonics offers a full line of high brightness diode laser products in the 800-990 nm wavelength range. The line is starting with 90μm chips on Submount (Cos), the G-Cos and S-Cos series, up to 13 watts at 9xxnm or up to 7 watts at 8xxnm.
Quasi-CW Fiber Laser - Introducing the YLR-150/1500-QCW-AC, IPG's NEW Quasi-CW Ytterbium Fiber Laser. With a high peak power up to 1500 watts with 150 watts average power, the QCW is substantially more cost effective than traditional YAG lasers.
 500 Watt Pulsed Fiber Laser- Introducing the YLP-HP-50/100/10/500, IPG's NEW High Power Pulsed Fiber Laser. With an average power of 500 watts, peak power to 83 kW, variable pulse duration from 25 ns to 200 ns and 50 mJ energy, the HP laser allows for high ablation rates greater than 40 cm²/s.  Pulsed Green Fiber Laser- Perfect for Scribing P2 & P3. At an output wavelength of 532 nm, the new pulsed green fiber laser from IPG provides single-mode beam quality, ease of use and high reliability. Featuring M² of less than 1.2, the YLP-G has a narrow line width and provides high peak power up to 15kW with scalable average output power up to 10W.

| IPG's Single Mode Lasers for a Variety of Applications |
 Single mode (SM) lasers have the best beam quality (M2 < 1.07) and are traditionally best suited for micromachining applications. However, the availability of these lasers at hundreds of watts of power opens up many other applications in the macro regime as well. Examples mentioned below shed more light on the vast capabilities of these 1070 nm, SM lasers at different power levels under 500 W. Click here for full story. |
| Unique Dual Wavelength Laser System to be Installed at IPG West Coast Facility |
| IPG Photonics recently opened an 8,000 sq. ft. Laser Micro Processing facility to serve West Coast customers. Our first lab is now outfitted with operational lasers and laser systems and is available for free sample evaluation and process development. Trials with a new 1 MHz laser with short nanosecond pulses have been completed with interesting processing performance highlighted. The lab is also performing process development work with IPG's newly upgraded YLP Q-switched laser at 200 kHz. Click here for full story. |
| IPG Fiber Lasers Inspire New Product |
 Wide acceptance of the IPG high power fiber laser into industry has produced benefits in other areas. We have seen speed increases in robots used for cutting based on faster cutting with fiber lasers. Helium consumption for laser welding is no longer needed and lens consumption is almost eliminated when replacing CO2 lasers with fiber lasers. Probably the most visible changes have been in the end effectors used with IPG fiber lasers. A number of remote welding heads have become mainstream as well as enhanced lines of welding and cladding heads. Click here for full story. |
| IPG Photonics Midwest Operations Update |
| Although the media attention to the automotive industry has been mostly negative over the last year, IPG Photonics continues to grow in this market segment. The advantages of IPG fiber lasers make it a "must have" tool for tier-one suppliers who are forced to get leaner and show increased efficiencies. Click here for full story. |
IPG Photonics Corporation is proud to announce that Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Valentin Gapontsev was the recipient of the Laser Institute of America's (LIA) 2009 Arthur L. Schawlow Award. 
IPG Photonics has been manufacturing fiber lasers for laser marking for a number of years and a large proportion of the laser marking market has changed to fiber lasers. The IPG YLP series of fiber lasers has led this charge from lamp pumped lasers to fiber lasers over the last few years. Recent advances in these lasers, such as the newer High Contrast (HC) version, and the increase in the pulse repetition rate capability up to 200 kHz have further improved the model.
