Abstract
The copper laser is the new laser in materials processing. It has shown great potential as a tool for high precision manufacturing. Commercial copper laser machining systems are now commercially available. Recent breakthroughs and on-going research in copper lasers will continue to scale the efficiency, output power and beam quality of these lasers
