Foreword
Since the invention of the laser in the 1960s, lasers have found extensive applications in many areas and the laser market has grown rapidly. According to a report published in January 2013 in Laser Focus World [1] the global laser market was worth $8.62 billion in 2013, an increase of 62 % from $5.33 billion in 2009, and the laser diode market constantly accounts for about 50 % of the dollar amount. Laser diodes are also the most widely used lasers from an application point of view. Below is an incomplete list of applications: Alignment Confocal microscopy DNA analysis Gas de
