DPSS lasers  (Diode-pumped solid-state ) are solid-state lasers made by pumping a solid gain medium, a ruby or a neodymium-doped YAG crystal, with a laser diode. More knowledge about DPSS laser at wikipedia

DPSS lasers have advantages in compactness and efficiency over other types, and high power DPSS lasers have replaced ion lasers and flashlamp-pumped lasers in many scientific applications, and are now appearing commonly in green and other color laser pointers.

Here are some News summary in laser industry:

CEO John Ambroseo from Coherent said that their 3kW fiber laser are used in metal cutting. Coherent showed 3kW fiber laser in May of Laser World of Photonics exhibition. It is currently being tested on the client device. Single package cutting speed and quality meet the requirements , and output power is far less than competitors.

In the year of 2014, DPSS 355nm laser is popular in many applications. They're used in laser cutting,marking and 3D printing. 355nm laser is UV laser, that is Ultra Violet, there is also deep ultraviolet 266nm laser.

DPSS laser

The advantages of DPSS laser

1. High power (interesting for compensating for poor coupling, doing beam splitting etc...).
2. The possibility to easily manipulate laser beams (launching into optical fibers,   beam splitting, wavelength division etc).

Limitations:

1. Most DPSS systems can be modulated to only deliver a fraction of the maximal output power in steady state conditions. But the relation between this analog modulation voltage and the emitted power is not necessarily linear. Therefore it is necessary to map the output of your laser using a power meter. 

2.Although most affordable DPSS systems have fast (1-5 kHz) on/off TTL modulation, the resulting pulses have unexpected (but reproducible) power and shape.
  Let's say for example that you set your laser to deliver 20% of its maximal power in steady state operating conditions. Triggering the laser on/off using a TTL input will allow you to produce millisecond scale light pulses but the maximal power reached during the pulse will not be 20% (it can be more or less than that), and the pulse will have strange temporal characteristics (slow onset and offset, oscillation etc...). The only way to know what your laser is giving during short pulses is to measure them.
