ABSTRACT
Laser and photonics systems have been developed for new medical processes and new manufacturing processes, with promising new solutions. They enable new techniques of better and faster communications. They are used for material processing to create unique characteristics for more efcient and economical energy systems, such as solar energy. The US Department of Energy is striving to deliver laser fusion power stations with Laser Inertial Fusion Energy (LIFE). The integration of all the technologies required for a power station is planned for the mid-2020s. Laser technology is an inseparable part of computer-created virtual realities and advanced personalized learning that aim at furthering engineering’s contributions to
