Written as a reference for senior undergraduates, graduate students and practicing engineers alike, this book covers the basic principles of lasers, including different kind of industrial/research lasers available and their comparative analysis based on output power, wavelength, beam quality, portability and wall plug efficiency. It presents the fundamentals of laser materials processing techniques, such as cutting, welding, hardening, laser surface alloying, cladding, texturing and bending. The book then details laser micromachining processes using ultrashort pulsed lasers. It develops first order mathematical descriptions for select laser manufacturing processes to analyze the processes and select optimal parameters.
