Within a few years, the innovative water-jet-guided laser technology has revolutionized laser micro processing. With a water jet to guide a laser beam by total internal reflection, this new technology is much different from a conventional dry laser, regarding beam shape, heating, material removal and contamination. Thanks to its important advantages over dry lasers, the water-jet-guided laser is today accepted in many state-of-the-art industries, such as the semiconductor, electronic, medical device and flat panel display industries.
