Hi,
I am a newbie to the laser field and yet I am interested in building a laser welding machine for myself to tinker around with metal. My interest was really triggered from watching this video a couple of days ago :drool:
Laser Welding Steel Sheets - YouTube
I am impressed with what lasers can do and I cant stop thinking about building one. The only hindrance is my knowledge about them since I am a Mechanical Eng. I have been searching the net on how to put together an Nd YAG laser, but have been unsuccessful to find the right kind of source to explain it accurately.
Please someone tell me the concept of the Nd YAG laser? What are the major components of this laser system ?
Thanks and can`t wait to see a reply
