Hey guys, I have two questions related to optical power.
1- If you have an optical output of 5W from a laser diode, 5W from a CO2 laser, and 5W from a fiber laser, is the output power the same? Do the origin nature of the laser beam (semiconductor, gas, etc) has an effect in the final beam? So, if I generate an optical output of 500W from a powerful laser diode array, that's the same optical power from 500W produced by a fiber glass laser. Am I wrong?
2- Right now I'm working with a 100w CO2 laser tube, and a NUBM31T, I don't have the equipment to measure that amount of power, but, besides the nano meters, it should be the same kind equipment, no matter if it's CO2 o semiconductor, am I wrong?
Thanks!
