The world's first laser was born in 1960. For more than 40 years, laser technology and application have developed rapidly. It has been combined with multiple disciplines to form multiple application technology fields, such as optoelectronic technology, laser medical and photonic biology, laser processing technology, laser pointer detection and measurement technology, laser holography technology. , Laser spectroscopy, nonlinear optics, ultrafast lasers, laser chemistry, quantum optics, lidar, laser guidance, laser isotope separation, laser-controlled nuclear fusion, laser weapons, etc. The emergence of these intersecting technologies and new disciplines has greatly promoted the development of traditional industries and emerging industries.
Laser processing technology is a technology that uses the characteristics of the interaction between a laser beam and a substance to cut, weld, surface treat, punch, micro-machine, and as a light source, identify objects, etc., for materials (including metals and non-metals), traditional applications The biggest area is laser processing technology. The focus of laser processing technology and industrial development research and development The current focus of laser processing technology and industrial development research and development can be summarized as:
