Abstract
In recent years, laser based technologies became important or even dominant in industrial applications such as welding or cutting. Further possibilities of processing, innovation, and advancement of laser material treatments are still in progress and very challenging. Laser-based analysis [1], spectroscopy [2], or metrology [3] are well known and established methods. For this field of research, a number of reviews, books, and other literature were published in order to give detailed descriptions of laser based physics [4]. The very broad field of laser materials processing [5, 6] is still very fast developing.
