Industrial laser applications can be divided into two categories depending on the power of the laser: material processing and micromaterial processing.
In materials processing, lasers with an average optical power of over 1 kilowatt are primarily used for industrial material processing applications. Optical thermal states that occur above this power threshold set these lasers apart from their lower-power counterparts.
Micromaterial processing is a category that includes all laser material processing applications below 1 kilowatt. The use of lasers in the processing of micro-materials has a wide range of applications in the field of development and manufacturing in the industry.
Her malzeme lazere karşı ışığı emebilme özelliğine göre farklı tepki gösterir; her bir lazer türü, lazer ve etkilerini belirleyen farklı dalga boyuna sahiptir ve tüm bunların sonucu uygulamaya özel olarak çözümlenir.
Endüstriyel malzeme işleme için kullanılan en yaygın lazer türleri Fiber Lazerler, Nd: YAG Lazerler, Diyot Lazerler, Karbondioksit (CO2) Lazerler, Ultraviyole (UV) Lazerler, Yeşil Lazerlerdir.
