Abstract:
Ultrashort femtosecond laser pulses generate little or no heat in interactions with materials for medical devices, making it possible to manufacture a wider range of shapes and forms. This enabling technology creates a new realm of possible device designs. Fiber-based laser technology is advantageous for industrial implementation of these new processing techniques, due to its reliability, robustness under harsh handling conditions, and low long-term cost of ownership. In this presentation, we review recent application examples of ultrashort fiber lasers for these purposes.

We will discuss: An overview of femtosecond fiber lasers and their applications in medical and industrial manufacturing

Intended audience: Laser machine equipment manufacturers for precision devices
