Laser-assisted machining (LAM) hard, brittle materials, such as semiconductors and ceramics, utilizes a laser to heat an area to soften it before it is machined. The rest of the work piece is not ...

Until 2016, it was impossible to incorporate a femtosecond laser—an ultra-short pulse duration laser—onto a 5-axis machine. This was first realized by the Swiss group Georg Fischer in 2016, thereby ...

High-throughput laser micro-machining demands precise control of the laser beam position to achieve optimal efficiency, but existing methods can be both time-consuming and cost-prohibitive. In this ...

Laser engraving uses a powerful beam of light to create detailed designs on various materials. The laser works by vaporizing the surface layer, leaving behind precise and lasting marks or etchings.

The basis of a solid-state diode laser is, of course, the diode. Laser diodes can have different emission wavelength—most of them have between 405 nm to 808 nm. The diodes usually have TO3, TO5, TO9, ...
