In this work, we manufacture living hinges of arbitrary cross sections from nitinol using a femtosecond laser micromachining process. We first determined the laser cutting parameters, 4.1Jcm -2 ...

When researchers at the Galatea laboratory in Switzerland set out to create a femtosecond laser in glass they weren’t certain it was going to work. To be precise, their goal was to create a ...

Few, though, are as interesting as micromachining glass with laser-induced plasma bubbles. (Video, embedded below.) The video below is from [Zachary Tong]. It runs a bit on the longish side ...

This course provides attendees with the knowledge necessary to understand and apply femtosecond laser pulses for micromachining tasks in a variety of materials. Emphasis will be placed on developing a ...

Our ultrafast lasers are suitable for precise micromachining and cutting of materials. Using an ultra-short pulsed femtosecond laser for micromachining eliminates post-processing steps and reduces the ...

High intensity femtosecond laser pulses have been driving electrons to very high energies reaching million and billion electron volts over length scales that are 100–1,000 times shorter than ...

The femtosecond laser is capable of cutting different materials at rates that are several orders of magnitude quicker than a standard gallium FIB; users can create a large (hundreds of micrometers) ...

One of the most powerful tools for studying these waves is time-resolved electron microscopy, which uses ultrashort laser pulses to observe how these plasmonic waves behave. An international ...

Certain steps of traditional cataract surgery performed by phacoemulsification may soon be performed with increasing frequency by the femtosecond laser. Since the introduction of the femtosecond ...

Femtosecond chemistry ... applications such as micromachining and terahertz generation, in which neither tunability nor the shortest pulses are required, fibre lasers will have an important ...
