3. Emerging Technologies
- Fiber lasers convert electrical power to photons at efficiencies above 40 percent. Growing adoption in sheet-metal cutting is driven by lower electricity cost and superior beam quality.
- Ultrafast pulse lasers ablate material without measurable thermal damage. Increasing use in glass scribing and wafer dicing is driven by the need for damage-free cut edges.
- Green and blue visible-wavelength lasers weld highly reflective copper. Expanding deployment in EV busbar welding is driven by copper's reflection of infrared, which visible lasers overcome.
- AI-integrated beam-control systems optimise laser parameters in real time. Growing integration in automated cutting and welding cells is enabling consistent quality across variable material batches and reducing scrap from parameter drift.
