Discovering the Advantages and Applications of Multi-Axial Mode Lasers

[says]

I'm learning about multi-axial mode lasers. From what I understand, a multi-axial mode laser has more modes with which it can amplify light at. I'm trying to understand:

1) What are the advantages and disadvantages of a multi-axial mode laser?
2) What applications do this lasers have?

Advantages of a multi-axial mode laser:1) Higher power output - due to multiple beams amplifying in different directions, the total power output is increased.2) Improved beam quality - the multiple beams are combined and focused to create a single higher quality beam.3) Increased efficiency - multi-axial lasers can transfer more power to the target with less power loss, leading to improved efficiency.Disadvantages of a multi-axial mode laser:1) Complexity - multi-axial mode lasers require complex optics and alignment systems to properly focus each beam.2) Cost - due to the complexity of the system, multi-axial mode lasers tend to be more expensive than other types of lasers.Applications for multi-axial mode lasers include:1) Laser cutting and welding - the high power output and improved beam quality allow for more precise cutting and welding.2) Laser engraving - the improved beam quality allows for more detailed and accurate engraving.3) Medical applications - the improved beam quality allows for more precise targeting of tissue and cells.4) 3D printing - the improved beam quality enables more precise and intricate object prints.
