Abstract

Laser machine tools today use either carbon diode gas lasers or lamp-pumped solid state lasers, both of which have major limitations. Laser machining is currently inhibited by insufficient power density at the workpiece, inadequate average power that limits the processing speed, high maintenance requirements, and in mally cases nonoptimal beam delivery systems. Recent ARPA iimded developments in diode pllmped solid state lasers and related technology to produce high brightness beams (to enhance focusability makes it possible to break through these processing limitations.
