Nowadays, Laser technology is located in the centre of optical engineering and industrial production technology. It is certain that laser processing has caused a revolution in the way of production technology not only thermal process of materials but precise process or ablation process for micro-process. Laser processing technology is still bringing a rapid expansion of new industrial applications. Here, it may be said, we have rushed into the second generation of laser processing. In these circumstances, technical trends of laser processing and leading-edge laser technologies are introduced in detail. And also, the views on the future of this field are described.
