Daehan Optical Communication Co., Ltd. announced that it has launched the first 300W fiber laser (TFO-FL300CW) in Korea.

Daehan Optical Communication has independently developed rare-earth doped optical fibers in Korea and launched industrial fiber laser products based on them.

The newly developed laser is a fiber laser capable of precision processing, such as cutting, welding, and drilling of metals and advanced materials in various manufacturing fields including automobiles, shipbuilding, and machinery. Compared to existing gas lasers (CO2 lasers) and solid-state lasers (Nd:YAG lasers), it offers superior light source quality and environmental safety, and enables system miniaturization, resulting in low maintenance costs and high wall plug efficiency, making it a product with excellent industrial economic viability.


In addition to this, Daehan Optical Communication is pursuing the development of 500W (TFO-FL500CW) and 1kW (TFO-FL1000CW) class fiber lasers in stages, and is developing fiber lasers for various applications so that they can be applied not only in existing industrial processing fields but also in diverse application markets such as 3D printers, medical, aerospace, and defense industries including laser weapon systems.

Daehan Optical Communication stated that the fiber laser market accounts for 21% of the global laser market with a CAGR of 21.6%, forming a market worth approximately 1.4 trillion won (US$ 904.5 million) and approximately 3 trillion won (US$ 2,436.5 million) in 2018, showing the highest growth rate among various laser product groups.

Furthermore, despite possessing these advantages, high-power fiber lasers require special...It was stated that only a few companies, such as Nufern, OFS, and Coractive, which are leaders in fiber optic technology, are releasing related products, and that the development of this 300W class product is significant in that it demonstrates that the company possesses technological capabilities equivalent to those of leading global companies through its own proprietary technology.
