FIGURE 1. The performance advantage of the blue laser stems from fundamental physics; copper absorbs blue light 13X better than it absorbs infrared (IR).

Blue lasers add power and brightness

Blue lasers' capabilities open up the possibility to weld greater thicknesses of copper and other challenging materials, and also improve the ability to weld dissimilar metals.

A NUBURU AO-150 150 W high-power blue laser through a 200 mm welding lens is shown.

High-power blue laser improves fabrication throughput

High-power blue lasers offer both qualitative and quantitative advantages over the legacy IR laser welding process, primarily thanks to high absorption at blue wavelengths.
