12,000 holes per second with 1 µm diameter
European Tool & Mould Making
A new generation of ultrafast process technology is on the market. Higher average laser power and greater pulse energy promise higher throughput and efficiency.
Next developments in quantum technologies, metallic 3D printing and electromobility
Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT
In the 70th year of its history, the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is ideally positioned for the challenges of the future, a strategy it also demonstrated at LASER World of PHOTONICS, the world’s leading photonics trade fair in Munich. The Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT, for example, presented state-of-the-art technology for quantum technologies, metallic 3D printing and electromobility.
Effect of high repetition rate of micro-hole drilled in metals by picosecond ultra-short pulse laser
Esticast Research
High repetition rate can produce high laser ablation efficiency. However, there is the issue of shortened pulses interval in the case of high repetition rate. Moreover, both the ejecting time of the ablated materials and the cooling time of the substrate material have been decreased, due to the high repetition rate.
