Laser Welding Applications in 5G Industry
With the rapid development of 5G communication technology, the investment of China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom in 5G commercial networks has increased significantly from 200 billion yuan in 2020 to 300 billion yuan in 2030. The huge 5G fronthaul, midhaul, and backhaul markets have huge demand for optical transceiver devices and modules.
Among them, 10Gb/s, 25Gb/s, 50Gb/s, 100Gb/s, and 200Gb/s and 400Gb/s transmitting and receiving modules TOSA, ROSA and BOSA have become high-performance optical transceivers for different optical network requirements.
With the continuous increase of communication speed and continuous expansion of optical fiber networks, the integration of optoelectronic devices has become higher and smaller, and the device size has become smaller and smaller, and the system has higher and higher requirements for the yield of optoelectronic devices.
Laser Welding Applications in 5G Industry
Laser Marking
Foolproof traceability starts with a high-contrast and durable mark. With our high-speed lasers, you can achieve just that while maintaining your production goals.
Laser Cleaning
The best way to control quality is to control the process. With their micron precision, fiber lasers can perfectly clean metal surfaces to prepare them for welding, bonding, and other processes. Laser cleaning can also be used for surface texturing and structuring to add even more possibilities to your manufacturing processes.
Laser Welding
With their high speed and small heat-affected zone, pulsed fiber lasers are ideal to weld a high number of small areas. They allow manufacturers to achieve a high welding quality while facilitating automation.
5G Industry BENEFITING FROM LASER TECHNOLOGY

THE BENEFITS OF LASER TECHNOLOGY IN 5G INDUSTRY
Lower processing cost
Lasers come in different power configurations which can be scaled to meet all types of production requirements. In most situations, manufacturers are better off with a single high-power laser than multiple low-power ones, as they can minimize footprint and complexity.
Faster processing efficiency
With its unmatched precision, laser technology is the best way to control the quality of your manufacturing processes. Laserax’s vision expertise allows us to combine our lasers’ high precision with sensor cameras to achieve near perfect repeatability regardless of positioning variations.
Higher yield
By replacing polluting technologies with greener ones, laser technology is in line with the goals of the EV industry. Fiber lasers operate without consumables and have a longer operating life than alternatives, reducing waste management and equipment maintenance.
