Making ultrafast lasers faster
Lasers with ultrashort pulses in the picosecond and femtosecond range are known for their ultra-precise ablation and cutting results, but also for their long process durations. We aim to make material processing with ultrafast lasers up to a hundred times faster by using a high-power USP laser with 1kW average power and a selective multibeam approach to deliver the power efficiently to the workpiece.
