Since the late 1990s, researchers have been writing ultrashort pulses excited by femtosecond laser into bulk materials with wide band-gap, which are usually insulators. But up to now, for materials with narrow band-gap, such as silicon and other semiconductor materials, precise ultra-fast laser writing cannot be achieved. People have been working to create more conditions for the application of 3D laser writing in Silicon Photonics and the study of new physical phenomena in semiconductors, so as to expand the huge market of silicon applications. ...

The industrial laser industry is vibrant, robust and growing. It has even grown during years when the global economy has not. These are some of the conclusions of a new market report from BCC Research, which reveals that evolving technology should continue to drive this global market, “especially within fiber laser submarkets”. ...

“IPG's revenue in the third quarter of 2015 reached a new high, up 22% year-on-year to a record $243.5 million,” said Dr. Valentin Gapontsev, CEO of IPG Photonics. “The impact of exchange rate changes is about 12% lower. This means that if the exchange rate remains at the same level as last year, IPG's revenue in the third quarter of 2015 will increase by 34% year-on-year. Our performance continues to grow strongly, indicating IPG fiber Lasers are continuing to penetrate existing and new applications through our diverse and expanding product lines." ... [Detail]
