Femtosecond Laser Micro-Processing

Ultra-short pulse lasers for 'cold' micromachining without heat damage.
Femtosecond Laser Micro-Processing

Femtosecond lasers emit pulses lasting quadrillions of a second, ablating material so quickly that heat cannot transfer to the surrounding area. This 'cold processing' enables micron-precision cutting of heat-sensitive materials (glass, biodegradable stents, OLEDs), surface texturing for hydrophobicity, and the drilling of fuel injector nozzles with zero thermal collateral damage.
