Ultra-short laser pulses for science and industry
Aachen, Germany (SPX) May 29, 2012
The shorter the pulse duration, the more precisely the laser tool operates. Ultra-short laser pulses of outstanding high average puower are opening the doors to new applications in high throughput materials processing. Thanks to the short pulse duration, thermal damage of the material being processed is minimized. Laser technology uses light. Light can be rapidly and precisely deflected, shaped and focused. If we pulse laser light and reduce pulse duration more and more, the laser tool works even ... read more
