Abstract
The laser processing technology is principally an extremely high speed and high precision process, which is a general feature of materials processing by high power density beams. This leads to the difficulty of realizing adaptive control. In fact, there is no fully automatic laser materials processing method at present. One of the reasons is that there are so many physical and chemical phenomena which have not been understood in detail in laser materials processing, because the phenomena occur within a very narrow region with steep gradients of physical and chemical properties as well as within an extremely short period. Therefore, comprehensive understanding of phenomena is absolutely necessary for future automatic control of laser materials processing.
