Abstract

The object of the analysis is condition and the level of usage of laser beam as a tool (both quantitative and qualitative) in different technological environments (medicine, material processing, measurements at al.).
Practical experience in the development and implementation of technological application of laser beam and extensive research of world best practices confirmed that the main factors of its applications are the efficiency of interaction with various materials, wide range of controllable beam power (up to 2.3 MW) and high levels of beam intensity in laser beam processing zone (up to 1020 W/cm2) due to its small cross-section (up to 10–9 m) and short interaction time (10–15 s). On the other hand, some properties of laser beam were not taken into account as they are rarely used in technological applications.
The goal of this publication data is to increase the quality of technological applications of laser beam as a tool by utilization of the full spectrum of its unique properties.
Among them are the non-materiality of laser beam as a tool, transparency, and ease of control of its key parameters (wavelength, energetic and spatial characteristics). Successful management of these characteristics significantly increases organizational properties of numerous technological applications of laser beam as a tool.
Transparency and non-materiality of electromagnetic energy of laser beam allow to combine the interaction of laser beam with material and simultaneous evaluation (measurement) of laser beam processing results. Such an active control gives data to manage the progress and outcome of processing by controlling laser beam processing parameters, introducing self-adaptivity of technological operations. Unfortunately, there is no information on adaptive development of technological processes that use laser beam as a tool.
