Blue Laser Welding for Copper, Gold and Highly Reflective Metals
The 450nm blue diode laser delivers stable, spatter-free and repeatable precision welding on highly reflective metals like copper and gold, with absorption efficiency that infrared lasers cannot reach.
Discuss Your Welding Application →What Is Precision Welding with Blue Laser?
Blue laser welding is a precision joining method using semiconductor diode lasers operating at 450nm wavelength. Metals like copper and gold absorb far more energy at this wavelength compared to traditional infrared (1064nm) lasers — Vivlaser reports up to 5x higher absorption.
This high absorption enables a stable melt pool even at low power — significantly reducing the spatter, porosity and inconsistent penetration issues common with infrared lasers.
- Conduction mode welding — stable, spatter-free
- Adjustable power from 10%–100%, stable performance in long-term use
- Can also weld dissimilar material combinations like copper-stainless steel, copper-aluminum

Pure Blue Laser or Hybrid (Blue+Fiber)?
Vivlaser offers two different approaches depending on the need: pure blue laser systems (200W–1000W) are optimized for surface stability and spatter-free fine welding; hybrid systems combine the surface stability of blue laser with the deep penetration of fiber laser, adding flexibility for a broader range of applications.
Why Blue Laser Instead of Infrared?
Conventional fiber (1064nm) lasers, due to low absorption in metals like copper and gold, must operate at high power and in keyhole mode — leading to spatter, porosity and inconsistent weld quality. Blue laser achieves the same result at much lower power and in stable conduction mode.

When Should Blue Laser Precision Welding Be Chosen?
If one or more of the following apply to you, blue laser precision welding is technically worth evaluating.
- If welding copper, gold or other highly reflective metals
- If tolerance for spatter and porosity is low (battery, electronics)
- If thin-section or heat-sensitive components are involved
- If consistency is required in high-volume, automated production
