Abstract

Femtosecond laser technology continues to evolve and mature. Today, one can find production quality lasers operating with repetition rates in the 10’s of kHz producing several Watts of power with beam quality suitable for precision micromachining applications. We will review the integration of one such laser into a production-worthy micromachining platform and discuss processing results obtained in emerging applications. This paper will highlight the migration of femtosecond lasers from laboratory tools towards production and practical applications.Femtosecond laser technology continues to evolve and mature.
