Micro-hole drilling with femtosecond fiber laser
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, micro-hole drilling in ambient air is presented using fs fiber laser (750 fs & 1030 nm). Micro holes were fabricated in both transparent (glasses) and non-transparent materials (metals and tissues). Hole shape and morphology was characterized and evaluated with optical microscope and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Debris-free micro holes with good roundness and no thermal damage were demonstrated for both glass and metal. Micro-hole drilling in hard and soft tissues with no crack or collateral thermal damage is also demonstrated.

This study investigates the effect of focal plane variation using vibration in a femtosecond laser hole drilling process on Invar alloy fabrication quality for the production of fine metal masks (FMMs). FMMs are used in the red, green, blue (RGB) evaporation process in Active Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode (AMOLED) manufacturing. The taper angle of the hole is adjusted by attaching the obj...
متن کاملOptical fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer cavity fabricated by femtosecond laser micromachining and fusion splicing for refractive index sensing.
We demonstrate a fiber in-line Fabry-Perot interferometer cavity sensor for refractive index measurement. The interferometer cavity is formed by drilling a micro-hole at the cleaved fiber end facet, followed by fusion splicing. A micro-channel is inscribed by femtosecond laser micromachining to vertically cross the cavity to allow liquid to flow in. The refractive index sensitivity obtained is ...

متن کاملAblation and optical property modification of transparent materials with femtosecond lasers
Because of the unique laser–matter interaction processes involved, femtosecond laser micro-machining and femtosecond laser materials processing techniques are developing rapidly to stages where they may be introduced into manufacturing. Yet in both these areas, some complex interaction phenomena are not fully understood. In this talk we describe two studies of fundamental processes that impact ...
