This is an automatically translated description

The use of lasers in industry is considered: machine, automotive and instrumentation engineering, electronics, etc. The textbook is the second in a series of photonics textbooks (Laser Technologies). It describes in detail the technological processes of surface heat treatment of various materials with a laser beam, laser welding, cutting, drilling, marking and barcoding, and rapid prototyping. Several chapters are devoted to the specifics of using different types of lasers for processing various materials. Modern technological equipment for laser technologies from leading world companies is described in detail, as well as modern laser systems used in industry. The prospects of using lasers in technological processes and the main directions of innovation (application of industrial femtosecond lasers) are considered.

The textbook covers the scope of the “Photonic Engineering” programme, designed for undergraduate, postgraduate, young scientists and engineers.
