The impact of Materials Science in our environment has probably
never been as massive and decisive as it is today. In every aspect
of our lives, progress has never been so dependent on the
techniques involved in producing ever more sophisticated materials
in ever larger quantities, nor so demanding for technologists to
imagine novel processes and circumvent difficulties, or take up new
challenges. Every technique is based on a physical process which is
put into practice and optimized. The better we know that process,
the better the optimization, and more powerful the technique. Laser
processing of materials is inscribed in that context. As soon as
powerful coherent light sources were made available, it was
realized that such intense sources of energy could be used to
"heat, melt and crystallize" materials, i.e., to promote phase
transitions in atomic systems. As early as 1964, attempts in that
direction were made but received very little (if any) attention.
Reasons for this lack of interest were several. For one thing,
laser technology was not fully developed, so that the process
offered poor reliability and no versatility. Also, improving the
existing techniques was believed to be sufficient to meet the needs
of the time, and there was no real motivation to explore new ways.
Finally, and more important, the fundamentals of the physics behind
the scenes were, and continue to be, way out of the runni g stream.
