<title>Industrial laser market</title>

Abstract

I was very pleased to see Laser Focus's analysis that we're now the leading consumer of lasers in the world. We put this analysis together in October/November and this year's analysis was generated primarily by the industry itself at our Marketplace for Industrial Lasers 1Teeting that was held in Chicago in September. So you're looking at the industry's numbers as recorded by them in conjunction with a consensus opinion of the people who participate in this portion of this industry. Slightly modified and rearranged. For those of you who are interested in the industrial market, SPIE will be publishing the proceedings of that meeting this month, or February I guess and I'd like to tell you that the industry did a remarkable job at reporting accurately and in great detail the size of the industrial laser market. So if that's on your agenda, you should certainly get in touch with the SPIE people to get a hold of it.© (1991) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
