Micromachining with Picosecond Lasers
Picosecond lasers are poised to change the world of micromachining. In a variety of applications such as microelectronics, semiconductor, and photovoltaic industries picosecond lasers allow to achieve a new level of precision micromachining tanks to their unrivalled quality. Energy and frequency of the most high energy LUMERA Laser’s RAPID family PS lasers depend on their specific application. At pulse duration <15ps is possible to avoid undesirable thermal effects. Within a minute 10 mm³ or more of any hard or difficult to machine material can be removed. Glass machining with ps pulses leads to ablation rates of >50mm³/min
