2007年激光市场和技术

This paper described the situation of laser marketplace 2007 and related technologies. Laser market scale in 2007 is predicted as US $ 6 billions with 8% increase over last year. The diode laser sale is more than half of the total. The applications of diode laser are mainly optical storage and optical telecommunications. The nondiode lasers have stronger laser ability and wider applications but more complicated. Nondiode lasers are mainly used in material processing that is largely related with semiconductor and automobile business. The second application of nondiode lasers is medical therapy that is mainly cosmetic applications. Fiber laser is the most charming nondiode laser.
