Ultrafast Lasers have become increasingly popular over the years in many areas of scientific research, medical technology and materials microprocessing. Today's growing industrial applications require ultrafast lasers that are robust and well-suited for all standard processing methods such as cutting, drilling, ablation, and structuring for a wide range of materials. Unlike other lasers on the market, ultrafast lasers from IPG are compact, low cost, truly industrial, and easy to integrate.

When ultrafast laser pulses interact with the target material the result is non-thermal absorption of energy. This is possible because ultrafast pulse durations are shorter than the characteristic time of vibrational relaxation in the material, allowing energy to be deposited faster than it is dissipated.
This "cold process" removes or alters material with virtually no heat transfer to the surrounding area, dramatically reducing melted and recast material as well as micro-cracks. The resulting surface quality is higher than what is possible with nanosecond lasers due to a significant reduction in heat-affected zone, debris, and surface damage.
Whether you need a laser with custom specifications or simply want to learn more about laser processing, an IPG ultrafast fiber laser expert is ready to help you find your laser solution.
