I agree, but for metal applications, especially highly reflective materials like aluminum, copper, stainless. The fiber laser excels. No doubt there is a large group here that would like to cut metals efficiently.
That's not to say that 800 to 1500nm wavelengths are completely incompetent in organics, or are they?
I see some fun experiments in my near future!
