This is a technology and research journal introducing the research and development results, technologies, and new products of Furukawa Electric Group.

On issuing

Furukawa Electric Group has upheld the theme of “Growth through the creation of businesses that solve the social issues” with the aim of achieving the Vision 2030. And under the evolutional slogan of “Open, Agile, Innovative”, the Group is promoting the formation of partnerships especially with outsiders to the Group as a materiality, which is an important management issue.
This is the first time for Furukawa Electric Review to receive two contributions from outside the Group. Both are from strong partners who have mastered the technology and shared the success of our business in the field of the “Laser Processing for Copper”.
Including these contributions, we hope that the author’s passion for “Laser Processing for Copper” entrusted to each paper can be felt.
