Chapter 1: Development and Application of Laser in the Marketing Industry

Laser marking system has revolutionized the procedures for marking objects. These objects or substances can be either metal or non-metal. Some great attributes of laser marking is that:

  • It produces clean and enduring markings
  • The materials that are being marked will not be damaged in the course of marking them. This is different when using flame or other traditional methods to mark things, which can sometimes damage them.
  • Laser marking is fast, durable, and stable.

1.1, History of laser development in the field of marking

What is a fiber laser? The laser marking technique comes as a result of the quest for a better, faster, and more sustainable technique for marking objects. The traditional marking methods do not measure up to the demand for an improved, modern way of marking things.

So, the history of laser marking is tied to the advent of the laser technology. Outlined below are some of the inventions before the actual laser technology for marking came into existence:

  • Starting from Charles Townes and Arthur Schawlow who invented the “maser” in 1954. The “maser” means microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. This was the beginning of the research that led to the invention of “laser technology”.
  • Theodore Maiman in 1960 invented the first ruby laser. This type of laser is now considered to be first viable optical laser in existence.
  • Of special note, in 1958, Gordon Gould started working on a laser. However, historians have always considered him as the inventor of the real laser light. Eventually, Gould got a belated patent in 1977 for his invention.
  • Western Electric, in 1965, developed the first laser to be crafted for manufacturing. It was primarily used for drilling holes within diamond dies.

And the focused CO2 laser beams for laser cutting were first developed in 1967 by Boeing researchers. This led to the invention of a modern CO2 laser cutter in 1975.
