Femtosecond technology for precision manufacturing: Fundamental and technical aspects

During the past few years research groups demonstrated the potential of femtosecond pulses for ultra-precise machining. Initial investigations of industrial applications soon showed, however, several unexpected quality problems such as formation of recast, ripples and irregular hole shapes even in the femtosecond pulse regime. This contribution will present some progress in fundamental understa...
