High power diode lasers reached the multi-kilowatt power range about four years ago. This became possible by special cooling and mounting as well as beam combination and beam forming technologies. In the mean time, high power diode lasers have entered the industrial manufacturing area. This article describes briefly the diode laser technology and the applications and gives a prognosis to the future of this new laser technology.
