Ultrafast Lasers for Advanced Materials Processing, Microprocessing, and Industrial Applications

Ultrafast lasers with picosecond and femtosecond pulse durations have become a tool of choice for many high precision microprocessing applications. The increase in adoption of ultrafast lasers in industrial processes require robust and highly reliable platforms that can operate 24/7 with limited down time. Karam details ultrafast technologies driving solutions in novel applications and industries for display production, battery manufacturing, and precision micromachining.
