The Precision Laser Machining Consortium, which teams together 25 U
companies and universities, is working upon a new class of high-speed,
high-precision laser machine tools that use diode-array-pumped neodyium
yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) solid-state lasers instead of CO(2)
or lamp-pumped solid-state lasers. These laser tools could raise the
