Industrial Femtosecond Laser Advancements Power Next-Generation Applications

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Higher power, denser pulse repetition frequencies, and shorter wavelengths are introducing new opportunities in diverse markets.

Chandra Nathala, Jim Bovatsek, and Herman Chui, MKS Instruments

Commercial use of ultrashort-pulse lasers, and femtosecond pulsed lasers in particular, continues to rise, due to the ability of these sources to cleanly ablate material or tissue with minimal heating of and damage to surrounding areas, and with negligible debris generation. Today, femtosecond lasers find use in a wide range of applications, including eye surgery, fabrication of implantable medical devices, photovoltaics scribing, surface functionalization, glass cutting, and polymer film cutting for the manufacture of displays and microelectronics. In micromachining applications, there is an...Read full article

    semiconductor
    A semiconductor is a type of material that has electrical conductivity between that of a conductor and an insulator. In other words, semiconductors have properties that are intermediate between metals (good conductors of electricity) and insulators (poor conductors of electricity). The conductivity of a semiconductor can be controlled and modified by factors such as temperature, impurities, or an applied electric field. The most common semiconductors are crystalline solids, and they are...
