DESCRIPTION:Dr. Holger Schlüter\, Technolas Perfect Vision\ncording to Ma
 rket Scope the three largest markets for High Power Lasers are sheet metal
  processing\, photolithography and ophthalmology with a total revenue for 
 the manufacturers of the laser beam sources in excess of 1 bn annually.\n\
 n\nWe will examine these three applications of high power lasers in detail
  and give an overview of the lasers used in the different fields. Sheet me
 tal processing divides into cutting and welding. The flat sheet cutting ma
 rket alone is 4bn € annually for the equipment makers. Laser welding is 
 standard procedure for most modern car body assembly lines. In photolithog
 raphy Excimer lasers have replaced Xe lamps as the major light source over
  the last decade. Soon we will see a new area with the advent of 13\,5nm p
 hotolithography. Here the laser will not be the light source anymore\, but
  the plasma that is providing the radiation can be produced by a laser (LP
 P). In ophthalmology LASIK is an established procedure since more than a d
 ecade. However\, recently new femtosecond laser based procedures in cornea
  as well as in the lens gain market share. All three fields of application
  are dominated by gas (CO2 and Excimer) and diode pumped solid state laser
 s (fiber\, disc and bulk crystal). We will present the different types of 
 lasers used.
