The so-called “high peak power laser” has a 1,000-watt average power output, a benchmark of sustained, high-energy pulses.
It has revolutionary potential in engineering, for hardening metal surfaces, processing semiconductors and micro-machining material.
The device was developed by Britain's Central Laser Facility (CLF) and HiLASE (High average power pulsed laser), a Czech state research and development project.
“It is a world record which is important,” CLF director John Collier told AFP …. https://www.yahoo.com
