Hey guys, I'd really like to learn some more about lasers in general. Especially the different types, semiconductor, fiber so on. Any books, articles, so on that are must reads?
Thank you!

I ran across this not long ago, interesting reading on early engraving lasers:
https://www.engraversjournal.com/art...244/index.html
- it's "part 5", not sure where to find 1 thru 4 but a fun read anyway-
This page somewhat explains engraving lasers in general., power spot density, focusing, etc...

ELEVEN - rotary cutter tool machines
FOUR - CO2 lasers
THREE- make that FOUR now- fiber lasers
ONE - vinyl cutter

You could also go way back to page 1, post 1 of this forum and read for the next year. There's a wealth of info you will never find in any book.

Experience is a wonderful thing.
It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
