Industrial and Scientific Uses of High-Power Lasers
Abstract
Consideration is given to industrial and scientific applications of high-power YAG and CO2 lasers. Particular attention is given to study of different optical fibers, present and future trends of laser material processing in Japan, a new approach to creation of stable and unstable active resonators for high-power solid-state lasers, experiments on convection of laser-melted pools, melt dynamics and surface deformation in processing with laser radiation, variation of magnetic properties of iron-containing quartzite irradiated by CO2 laser, the output pulse and energy capabilities of the PHEBUS laser facility, high-power lasers and the production of energy by inertial fusion, plasma interaction with powerful laser beams, numerical simulation of energy transport mechanisms in high-intensity laser-matter interaction experiments, and opacity studies with laser-produced plasma as an X-ray source.
