Understanding Fiber Laser Frequency — Explanation + Real Engraving

What does frequency actually do on a fiber laser? In this video, I break down the frequency setting in LightBurn using simple examples, then engrave brass coins at 48, 80, and 200 kHz to compare the results.
We’ll cover pulses per second, pulse energy, pulse overlap, and the frequency ranges available on MOPA and non-MOPA lasers. You’ll see how different frequencies affect surface texture and detail—and why this experiment changed the settings I use for my own coins.
