Femto-second laser machining
Collaboration with Pulsed Power (SNL): Ti:sapphire system (120 femtoseconds) in air (a.) and in vacuum (b.). These are compared with a hole (c.) drilled by a Nd: YAG laser (l = 1.06 mm ; pulse width = 100 nanoseconds, P = 50 mW, 2kHz). All images are taken from the entry side of the foil.
