Laser Technology, Photonics and AI – Where are we going?
Lasertechnology and Photonics have been developing significantly over the last decades and merged into practically all relevant areas of our life. In many markets, the technology is still growing significantly and new processes like 3-D-Printing (Laser Powder Bed Fusion) are just about to impact.
On the other hand, new trends influence innovation, and especially Artificial Intelligence “AI” emerged with incredible amounts of money invested already. So far main applications are seen in information technology, however, the question arrises: Is there an impact of AI on Laser Technology and Photonics or vice versa and if so, can we already see avenues, how this will develop and realize?
