EcolEner ®: Sustainable ECOLogical ENERgy Saving Technology
ECOLENER ® Laser Power Saving Technology
Sustainability is emerging as an important approach that manufacturing companies employ to improve their economic profitability and competitive advantage by enhancing environmental performance. Consistent with the contemporary aspects of ecological responsibility, specific forms of ECOLogical ENERgy (ECOLENER ®) saving mediate the relationship between an environmental sustainability orientation and environmental performance.
EcoLener Laser Source: Wall-plug Efficiency of almost 50%
Big Energy saving for a Greener future
In the past, the 976nm pump source was applied to industrial fiber lasers, and the whole machine was greatly affected by the ambient temperature.
In the research market, the use of 976nm to develop high-power or even megawatt fiber laser applications has been relatively mature. In the industrial market, the development of high-power fiber lasers by the 976nm pump source has just begun to spread.
In the past, the main reason for restricting the industrial application of 976nm pump source is that the absorption peak of the gain active fiber in the 976nm is narrow: when the temperature of the working environment changes, the drift of the center wavelength of the pump source causes the absorption rate of the gain active fiber to change greatly, which is easy. This leads to fluctuations in the performance of the fiber laser. The industrial use environment is complicated. In the past, low-power fiber lasers used air-cooling to cool the pump source, and the temperature control capability was limited. As a compromise, developers are actively or forced to use the 915nm with a wide absorption peak but lower absorption efficiency to reduce the impact of ambient temperature changes on overall machine performance. The 976nm pump source with VBG wavelength locking is generally used for scientific research purposes due to high cost, and large-scale industrial promotion is not accepted.

The advantages of fiber laser with 976nm laser pump technology
During the past decade, with the continuous improvement of pump source and laser structure, fiber laser technology has greatly improved. Based on the doped optical fiber (YDF-Laser) is widely used in industrial, scientific research, etc. because of high electrical-optical conversion efficiency, better beam quality and stability.
From this picture you will notice that 976nm wavelength absorption peak value is almost 3 times of 915nm absorption peak value. 976nm pump technology is with a much higher efficiency. At the same time, higher absorption also means effectively reduce the length of the fiber, thereby limiting harmful nonlinear effects to a certain extent.
ECOLENER laser series electrical-optical conversion efficiency up to 48% and the optical-optical conversion efficiency of 976nm pump technology up to 87%, the 915nm pump technology only up to 72% meanwhile , high efficiency means lower electricity consumption.
Based on 976nm pump technology, with a 10kW fiber laser will be saving 100,000 Euro during all life time compared 915nm pump technology 10kW fiber laser .
Reversing climate change processes by improving the energy performance of industrial Processes
Metal Industry currently account for a serious part of the European primary energy demand and for an equal part of Europe’s CO2 emissions.
The total Metal industry are among the biggest consumers of energy and the largest contributors to global greenhouse emissions, ahead of transport, agriculture and other industrial processes. In response the EU has set a range of energy targets by 2030. By improving the energy efficiency, we can reduce total EU energy consumption and help to attain long-term objectives.
