Ultrafast lasers have become essential tools for advanced micro-machining and materials processing. When delivered properly to the target, the extreme brevity of the pulses facilitates material removal without imposing thermal effects on the remaining structure. We describe herein a new ultrafast laser platform (Smart Light™) based on fiber-optic laser architecture that is fully integrated with embedded electronics and software layers for autonomous and safe system operation. We show micro-machining examples, technology platform overview, laser system performance data, and preliminary reliability characterization.
