Recently, high power and high power density diode lasers have been developed for their superiority of conversion efficiency as compared to conventional CO2 or Nd: YAG lasers. Materials processing using these lasers are reviewed and the 2kW class high power density diode laser is introduced in relation to its materials processing characteristics.
