Abstract: Some embodiments may include an apparatus usable in a laser system. The apparatus may include at least one optical filter to receive a laser beam or laser light along a first axis, the laser beam or laser light generated by the laser system, wherein the at least one optical filter is configured to reflect one of light having a selected wavelength or a remainder of the laser light along a second axis that is non-parallel with the first axis and pass the other of the light having the selected wavelength or the remainder along a third axis that is parallel to the first axis. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.

Abstract: A laser source for industrial operations including a first laser outlet and a second laser outlet. The laser source is switchable to selectively provide at the first laser outlet a high beam quality and relative low power or at the second laser outlet with a higher power and lower beam quality to better accommodate the particular process. In one example, a selector addressing unit includes movable mirrors to selectively direct the generated laser beams to either the first laser outlet or the second laser outlet. In another example the laser source is used in an industrial plant to provide laser beams to a plurality of processing cells. The laser source operable to selectively provide a laser beam having desired or optimum qualities for the particular processing cell.
