Micromachining with square-Shaped 1 ns-Long pulses from an all-Fiber Yb-Doped laser-Amplifier system

摘要

We demonstrate micromachining with 1ns-long pulses from an all-fiber laser. Fiber lasers generating uncompressible long pulses have been ignored as undesired operational modes, however their robust, low-repetition-rate operation is well suited to micromachining. © 2011 Optical Society of America.
