Laserline blue A New Dimension in Material Processing. Low energy absorption ot highly reflective metals such as copper or gold in the 1,000 nm wavelength range poses major challenges for standard !R lasers. The required high initial intensities induce processes often characterized by turbulent melt pools and spatter formation, that are critical factors in the processing of electrical components.
