Objective:

Apply my knowledge and skills of high power fiber lasers or other opto electronic devices

in a rewarding manufacturing environment and be given the opportunity to further my

professional development.

Summary of qualifications:

My previous position as a laser technician III at IPG Photonics carried the

responsibility of coordinating the final build of >20,000 Watt fiber lasers.

These responsibilities included:

Making the critical optical fiber fusion splices for high power laser combiners and the

final output delivery fiber(s), providing more than 20,000 Watts (CW) optical power.

Training of Lead master splicer on the techniques of high power fiber splicing

Apply a methodical, patient and accurate approach to all aspects of optical and

electrical assembly.

Research new methods to improve optical splicing / coupling efficiency.

Working with software, mechanical, optical and electrical departments to modify custom

high power fiber laser platforms to meet customer s needs.

Routinely working with a variety of optical fiber types, manual and auto cleaving and

splicing fibers with single mode to a variety of large core multimode diameters including

7 to1000um core match and mismatched fibers.

Use of Vytran and Fujikura cleavers, Fujikura and Ericsson splicers

Set up and recording of test data from a wide variety of measurement and manufacturing

equipment including: optical beam analyzers, oscilloscopes, optical spectrum analyzers,

digital multi-meters, optical power meters, fiber fusion splicers.

Visit customers all over the United States for field installation, service and support,

phone support

- at one point was the entire field service department for high powered lasers alone.

Analysis of optical and electrical schematics, component data sheets, product manuals,

manufacturing guides, software manuals.

Troubleshooting of circuits and components, fine pitch soldering.

Writing of many procedures for high power laser construction and test procedures.

Invented new ways to reduce lead time of lasers by 1 - 2 days

Writing of end-user guides and procedures.

Complete final test, calibration and burn-in of high powered lasers.

Training of new technician staff in the high power laser department. All current lead

testers trained by myself.

Prior to my position of High Power Laser technician III, I first trained and worked on

sub-200 Watt optical devices. Here I demonstrated my ability to learn new technologies and

showed the required skills and proficiency over many years that singled me out for the

more advanced laser position:

Installation and testing of high power laser diode pump sources.

Installation and testing of high power active fiber gain stages.

Installation of electrical control boards

Complete start to finish construction of active optical fiber products.

Calibration and adjustment of electronics and optics.

Performance/Qualification testing of finished optical units.

Past experience and familiarity of the following active optical single-mode fiber

technologies:

Erbium amplifiers (1W 50W)

Erbium lasers (1W 50W)

Ytterbium amplifiers (1W 100W)

Ytterbium lasers (1W 20KW)

Thulium and Raman fiber lasers (1W -10 W)

Routinely dealt with specialty products that called for customization of standard

optical, electrical and mechanical designs. These involved identifying mechanical and

electrical rework requirements.

Other skills include:

Computer software:All Windows operating systems, Word, Excel, html, web design.

Safety Training: Laser, ESD, Health in Workplace, ISO.
