Will GHz burst mode create a new path to femtosecond laser processing?

Koji Sugioka

Abstract

Abstract The GHz burst mode of femtosecond laser pulses can significantly improve ablation efficiency without deteriorating ablation quality. However, various parameters involved in GHz burst mode make it difficult to optimize the processing for practical implementation. In this Perspective, the author gives the history, current status, and future challenges and prospects of this new strategy to answer the question, ‘will GHz burst mode create a new path to femtosecond laser processing?’
