13 March 2013Sub-ns and ps laser performance and results
In the field of ablative-based material processing there is a desire to use short pulse width (subns) laser sources. If the pulse width is too long <10 ns the processing is fast, but crude. If the pulse width is too short <10 ps the processing is precise, but slow. In an effort to balance the process fidelity with material removal rate, a unique TEM00 mode quality sub-ns (~0.5 ns nominal pulse width) laser was developed.
