High Power Lasers in Material Processing Applications: An Overview of Recent Developments

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Laser-Assisted Fabrication of Materials

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 161))

Abstract

High power lasers have witnessed many interesting developments in the recent past. \(\hbox{CO}_{2 }\) lasers have been ruling the roost in the industry for material processing applications for over a long time. Lamp pumped Nd:YAG laser, despite some limitations like poor beam quality and low efficiency, have been finding many applications in material processing. Diode pumped fiber lasers can be rated as one of the most important developments in recent times because of their high efficiency, excellent beam quality, reliable, and robust design. The demand for fabricating miniaturized components involved in various applications, such as of MEMS, microelectronics, telecommunication, optoelectronics, and biomedical devices has created much interest in micromachining with lasers. Excimer lasers operating in short wavelengths in ultraviolet spectrum have been traditionally very popular in these applications. An overview of some of these developments in the field of lasers and their applications in manufacturing is presented.
