    The document summarizes the history and working of lasers. The first laser was invented by Maiman in 1960 using a solid ruby laser. Key developments included uranium and helium-neon lasers in the 1960s and neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet lasers. Laser beam machining uses the principle that a laser beam can be tightly focused using lenses due to its short wavelength, allowing for power densities over 1 MW/mm2. When focused on a material, the laser energy is absorbed, rapidly heating and vaporizing the material to enable removal for applications like drilling, cutting, and welding.

    LASER Stands for “ Light Amplification By Stimulated Emission of Radiation”

    History
    • The first LASER was invented by Maiman In May ,1960 , which is a
    solid Ruby LASER.
    • Uranium LASER by IBM Labs in 1960
    • Helium Neon LASER by Bell Laboratories in 1961
    • Nd:YAG (Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet )LASER By Bell
    Laboratories
    LASER Beam Machining ( LBM)
    Principle: Laser beam can very easily be focused using optical lenses
    as their wavelength ranges from half micron to around 70 microns.
    Focussed laser beam as indicated earlier can have power density in
    excess of 1 MW/mm2. As laser interacts with the material, the energy
    of the photon is absorbed by the work material leading to rapid
    substantial rise in local temperature. This in turn results in melting and
    vaporisation of the work material and finally material removal.
