2007年激光市场和技术(英文)

Laser Marketplace 2007 and Technologies

本文叙述了2007年激光市场及相关的技术状况。2007年的激光市场规模预计为60亿美元,比去年增加8 %。半导体激光器的销售额占总数的一半以上。半导体激光器的主要应用是光学数据储存和长途光通讯。非半导体激光器具有比较强大的激光能力和广泛的应用,但是比较复杂。非半导体激光器主要用于与半导体及汽车商业有关的材料加工。非半导体激光器的第二个用途是与整容化妆有关的医学治疗。光纤激光器是最有魅力的非半导体激光器。

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.
