Abstract
In the past few years diode lasers have evolved into tools for manufacturing at a power level of up to some kW. Diode laser systems have been introduced into industrial applications such as soldering, plastics welding, transformation hardening and heat-conduction welding. The high efficiency, compactness and in particular the high modularity makes them superior to conventional CO2- or Nd:YAG-lasers for the applications mentioned above.
