TY - JOUR AB - THERE are two main types of lasers in use in industry today. These are CO2 gas lasers, which emit a light beam with a wavelength of 10.6 microns, and solid state lasers, generally Nd:YAG (Neodimium Ytrium Aluminium Garnet) with a wavelength of 1.06 microns. However, the use of lasers in the aerospace industry to date is relatively limited for the following reasons: VL - 61 IS - 9 SN - 0002-2667 DO - 10.1108/eb036840 UR - https://doi.org/10.1108/eb036840 AU - Hoult A.P.
