Laser material processing uses high power lasers to generate intense light beams

in material fabrication. This can include welding, drilling, cutting, engraving or

cleaning different materials as plastics, wood and metals.

Diode lasers are one of the most popular sources for optical pumping nowadays,

because of their unsurpassed wall-plug ef�ciency and wavelength versatility. We

offer a wide variety of pumping solutions involving single emitters, emitter arrays

(laser bars and mini-bars) and laser bar arrays (vertical and horizontal stacks).

Lasers greatly improve the accuracy and ef�ciency of defense systems.

The uses of lasers include applications such as temporarily blinding and

desorientating (laser dazzlers), laser guidance, laser sight, target designation

and ranging, defensive cuntermeasures.

Lasers can also be used in underwater communications for secure and timely

transmission of information.

Diode lasers offer usurpassed wall-plug ef�ciency and
