Fifty years ago, researchers at a handful of laboratories around the world were reporting lasing from the first semiconductor lasers. Our IT infrastructure today relies on their diligence and success.

Hobbyist-grade laser cutters can be a little restrictive as to the types and thicknesses of materials that they can cut. We’re usually talking about CO2 and diode-based machines here, and if you ...

Laser applications in manufacturing processes such as cutting, welding, and engraving processes are become more popular nowadays. High-power and pulsed lasers such as CO2 and Nd:YAG gas lasers are ...
