At the Siemens AG for instance, laserlight is used from the near ultraviolet to the far infrared (wavelengths from about 250 nanometres to 10 micrometres), the laser power ranges from 1 Watt to 3 Kilowatts.
Almost half of the laser applications there is allotted to marking of objects, a scant 30 per cent to joining of materials, 15 per cent to separating and 10 per cent to trimming procedures.
