Moskalev V.V. Federov S.B. Mirov T.T. Basiev and P.G. Zverev Beam shaping: a review Fred M. Dickey and Scott C. Holswade Since the advent of the laser many applications have required shaping the laser beam irradiance profile. A few of the primary applications include material processing including welding cutting and drilling; and medical procedures such as corneal surgery and cosmetic skin treatments. Other applications include laser material interaction studies lithography semiconductor manufacture graphic arts optical data processing and military uses. Laser Beam Shaping Applications is a companion to Laser Beam Shaping: Theory and Techniques. It treats in detail how laser beam shaping is implemented in several major applications
