Here Are Few Quick Tips to Choose Between Femtosecond and Picosecond Laser Micromachining for Your Next Project

Ultrafast or ultra-short pulse lasers have specific material handling abilities since the laser pulse length is shorter than the conduction time of the target element. This implies that the cold machining of the components is possible, with the materials being removed by sublimation.

This vaporization machining technique provides benefits that other approaches obviously cannot offer, including no or minimal burring and minimal debris, near-zero heat effect, which reduces or eliminates post-processing. High dimensional accuracy (typically ±0.0005 in.) and the capability to produce high-quality small features in glass, plastics, ceramic, and metals are also some of its benefits.

Shorter pulse length fuels interest in the use of ultrashort pulse lasers. Just like many other laser systems, the ultra-short pulse laser took flight in a research laboratory several years ago. However, commercial activity quickly became important. The capacity to treat virtually any material with practically no heat signature provided a unique manufacturing tool that enabled the creativity and production of the product.

It also helps to reduce prices in some cases. Ultrafast lasers are classified into two major categories. The picosecond laser produces optical pulses with a pulse length of around 10 PS or a millionth of a microsecond. The femtosecond laser creates pulses of almost 400 FS, less than one trillionth of a second in duration.

Several benchmarks, including the feasibility of the design, the implementation of the framework for manufacturing, the processing of an appropriate amount of pre-production parts, and most notably, the implementation of a particular technical approach route for the production process, must be met before going for device output.
