Femtosecond laser micromachining has emerged in recent years as a new technique for
micro/nano structure fabrication because of its applicability to virtually all kinds of materials …

Laser processing with ultra-short double pulses has gained attraction since the beginning of
the 2000s. In the last decade, pulse bursts consisting of multiple pulses with a delay of …

MEMS technology and applications have grown at a tremendous pace, while structural
dimensions have grown smaller and smaller, reaching down even to the molecular level …

Utilizing a novel laser system consisting of a 500 W, 10 MHz, 3 ps laser source which is fully
synchronized with a polygon scanner reaching scanning speeds up to 500 m/s, we explore …

Polymers are materials widely used in biomedical science because of their biocompatibility,
and good mechanical properties (which, in some cases, are similar to those of human …

A brief review is given regarding ultrafast laser micromachining of materials. Some general
experimental observations are first provided to show the characteristics of ultrafast laser …

The mechanism of ablation of solids by intense femtosecond laser pulses is described in an
explicit analytical form. It is shown that at high intensities when the ionization of the target …

We report that silicon surfaces develop an array of sharp conical spikes when irradiated with
500 laser pulses of 100-fs duration, 10-kJ/m2 fluence in 500-Torr SF6 or Cl2. The spikes are …

The interaction of ultra-fast sub-picosecond laser pulses with solids is a very broad area of
research. The boundaries for research fields covered by this review are defined as follows. A …

This book describes the basic mechanisms, theory, simulations and technological aspects of
Laser processing techniques. It covers the principles of laser quenching, welding, cutting …
