Laser science awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2018 for groundbreaking inventions in the field of laser physics. The first working laser (a pulsed ruby laser) was demonstrated on May 16, 1960, by Theodore Maiman at the Hughes Research Laboratories. Laser science Laser science or laser physics is a branch of optics that describes the theory and practice of lasers. Laser science is principally concerned with quantum electronics, laser construction, optical cavity design, the physics of producing a population inversion in laser media, and the temporal evolution of the light field in the laser. It is also concerned with the physics
Laser cutting bridge Laser cutting bridge A laser cutting bridge system in the world of textiles is an industrial machine for cutting and engraving of textile materials (i.e. fabrics). It is formed by a galvanometric laser head and laser source that runs along an horizontal beam (the bridge) supported by two lateral columns and sometimes by central columns. This system is placed over one or more embroidery machines, more frequently multi-head rather than single-head machines, cutting tables, roller devices, to cut out and/or engrave embroidered fabrics. The first laser bridge for embroidery machines was invented and realized in 1998 by GMI srl an
