Lasers in the industrial fabrication

The laser is first realized in 1960. Principal item is a ruby crystal the chromium ions of which are induced to emit the laserlight. In the meantime, a multitude of other laser media is known which render possible laserlight of many frequencies and energies.

At the bottom of further advancement are specifically the demands of the industry. In industrial fabrication, particularly gas and solid state lasers are used today.
