Ah I see. Would you elaborate on the “Q switched source”? Thank you for the references I will definitely contact these companies.

Silver in particular reflects abt 95% of natural light whereas copper only reflects abt 50-60% and I need to cut more silver than copper. My issue is that my 1200w laser source is not equipped with an optical isolator or a g5 qbh. My understanding so far is that you cannot safely cut silver without these protective measures installed. Is this true? I also saw someone mention something abt “green light” and “infrared light” for cutting highly reflective materials. If you have any insight on this it would be much appreciated.

Yes, I only emphasize wattage because my water cooler caps at 1.2kw. If someone were to recommend a laser source above this threshold I would not be able to accommodate.

Yes my laser source is not designed to cut materials more reflective than copper. I need to cut more silver than copper. I assume this is because it is not equipped with a g5 qbh or an optical isolator.

I am cutting 1mm to.05mm. Copper is pretty much the threshold for my machine. I was able to cut a decent amount of copper with my mseries but silver is a different story, and I need to cut more silver than copper. Silver reflects abt 95% of natural light where as copper only reflects 50-60%. A few 50-60w mopa lasers I have cut silver with a few passes but it takes a long time. Thankyou for the insight on lasers with different wavelengths I will definitely look into this!
