Market Prospects of Ultrashort Pulse Laser Technology

In today's society, lasers are no longer unfamiliar to many people, and although not everyone has direct access to it, it does exist all around us. For example, in computers and DVD players, semiconductor lasers are installed in optical drives used to read programs and programs. In fact, since the advent of the world's first laser in the early 1960s, a wide variety of lasers have been developed and used in industrial production, scientific research and defense, as well as in commercial products.
In the laser family, the ultra-short pulse laser with great potential that appeared in the 1970s has not been reused for a long time. What is the reason? Ultrashort pulse technology has far-reaching significance for many applications and industries, but for most applications, high-tech ultrashort pulse lasers are too complex and expensive to achieve, so many problems have not been solved so far.
However, this may soon be a thing of the past. Because through the combination of modern computing, Internet and photonic technology, the first intelligent, programmable and practical ultra-short pulse laser has been successfully developed and produced, which has laid the foundation for the laser to go out of the laboratory and be widely used. The size of its products is like a desktop computer, and realizes the "plug and play" working mode.
Unlike the lasers emitted by commonly used lasers, ultrashort pulse lasers emit very short pulsed laser beams, and the interval between on and off is only 1 femtosecond (one ten-millionth of a second). In other words, the laser can emit 10 million laser pulses per second. When working, such a dense pulse can only act on a few atoms of the material, without causing the surrounding material to heat up or melt.
The properties of superconducting pulsed lasers lead to a wide range of uses and a huge market. In the field of life sciences, ultra-short pulse lasers can be used to correct vision, detect and accurately remove cancer, brain surgery, treat aneurysms, heart surgery, beauty, and treat burns; in the manufacturing industry, ultra-short pulse lasers can effectively help Manufacture of composite materials at scale and at low cost has enabled the production of military aircraft to be used in automobile production and even in the construction of houses and office buildings.
The future market of ultrashort pulse technology In the next 5 years, people will use ultrashort pulse lasers to replace excimer lasers to perform in situ keratomileusis; within 10 years, all eye surgery will use ultrashort pulse "light knives" controlled by software "automatic completion.
