Green High‐Power Disk Lasers and Industrial Applications

Abstract

In the publicly‐funded ProLasKu project, the laser manufacturer Trumpf has developed a high‐power laser with a wavelength of 515 nm. Substantial progress in the industrial applications of green lasers has been achieved in a cooperation between the Technical University of Munich and the companies Siemens and Continental. In addition, a camera‐based system for process monitoring and quality assurance in real‐time based on image processing methods has been developed.
