Laser Processing of Materials - Fundamentals, Applications and Developments

Laser materials processing has made tremendous progress and is now at the forefront of industrial and medical applications. This text examines recent advances in smart and nanoscale materials going well beyond the traditional cutting and welding applications.

List of contents

Basics of Lasers and Laser Optics.- Fundamentals of Laser-Material Interactions.- Laser-Plasma Interactions.- Laser Ablation and Thin Film Deposition.- Processing with Ultrashort Laser Pulses.- Creating Nanostructures with Lasers.- Laser Micromachining.- Laser Processing Architecture for Improved Material Processing.

Summary

Laser materials processing has made tremendous progress and is now at the forefront of industrial and medical applications. The book describes recent advances in smart and nanoscaled materials going well beyond the traditional cutting and welding applications. As no analytical methods are described the examples are really going into the details of what nowadways is possible by employing lasers for sophisticated materials processing giving rise to achievements not possible by conventional materials processing.
