High Power Laser Opens the New World

High power laser has used in the basic science to generate an ultimately high condition in electro-magnetic field, temperature, and density. The obtained knowledge gives us novel creation possibility in the medical and industrial fields of debris remove, cancer therapy, non-destructive inspection, new material production and so on. To realize these, not only high pulse energy but also high repetition rate of laser operation are required for high power laser. The further development of the conventional high power laser can’t achieve them simultaneously.
We develop an innovative high power laser system with our original new technologies of laser materials, coating and laser system in cooperation with companies and research laboratories over the world, to realize a prosperous future by exploring basic scientific researches and by activating medical and industrial worlds.
