Ultrafast Laser Technology Continues to Achieve New Peaks
Ultrashort pulse lasers, such as femtosecond lasers, are becoming increasingly easy-to-use plug and play devices suitable for a wide range of industrial and biomedical applications. Fifteen years ago, these lasers were large mainframe affairs...
Photonics Spectra, August 2023
Industrial Femtosecond Laser Advancements Power Next-Generation Applications
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...
