That 200-250W is just just for minimum commercial viability, and that's the best that can be hoped for with the current drive lasers. Industry calls for four time that power, i.e. close to 1kW for sustainability.
For more than a decade, the Semicon industry has been trying to extend Moore's Law with CO2 laser technology that essentially has not had a generational advance since Moore's article was published. The laser wasn't the…
