Abstract

The availability of optically pumped farinfrared laser powers in the range from 1 to 100 mW at wavelengths in the range from 30 to 2000 pm has brought out a number of interesting industrial applications for the purpose of material inspection, diagnostics and pro-cessing. This paper summarizes the type of materials and industrial products, which are transparent at these wavelengths and reviews physical phenomena, which are applicable to material diagnostics and quality inspection.
