Byrd cites the industry's darling, multitasking machines, and advances in increasingly popular laser processing with short pulse lasers and disk lasers that allow flexibility and higher productivity.
In terms of volume, the new devices are the smallest semiconductor lasers yet produced, says Sam McCall, who designed the disk lasers.
Emerging lasers technologies such as fiber lasers, disk lasers, ultrafast lasers, replacement of traditional material processing technologies with lasers, miniaturization of electronic products, increasing use in plastic welding, soldering and microbending applications, and growing activity in high-power silicon wafer and solar cell processing are propelling the solid-state, fiber, gas and dye lasers market.
