Abstract

Efficient source of visible laser light produced by metal vapor laser technology is serving and creating a variety of new applications in industry. Copper, gold, manganese, lead and strontium lasant-based metal vapor lasers (MVLs) have all been made commercially available in recent years. They are reliable laser systems with different visible wavelengths that serve different applications in science, medicine, military and commercial developments. This article summarizes the present status and future goals of MVL applications and their respective metal vapor laser packaging and performance requirements.
