| Trumpf's 3kW TruDiode laser, launched in 2009, consumes nearly an order of magnitude less power than the lamp-pumped solid-state laser that preceded it. But energy efficiency is only one measure of eco-credentials, and researchers are only starting to figure out how to measure the wider ecological impact of techniques such as laser welding.
