About FEMTOsecond LASER Technology
FEMTOsecond LASER micro-machining is the most advanced LASER technology to process a wide range of materials. Thanks to very low heat diffusion time (< 300 fs), thermal effects are avoided. High energy density improves surface and geometries quality, while a high repetition rate ensures excellent productivity.
The FEMTOsecond LASER technology is a perfect match for all industries requiring the highest precision without compromising quality and productivity. Miniaturized components are used in all kind of devices.
Several applications – e.g. in the electronics or MedTech world – are not imaginable without very small and tiny parts. Thus, this requires new ways to produce and manufacture these parts.
With FEMTO LASER micro-machining there are various processes possible like:
- laser drilling
- laser cutting
- laser turning
It's compatible with almost all materials that are otherwise very difficult to machine with conventional tools.
With each FEMTOsecond LASER pulse that hits the work-piece, a small amount of material immediately vaporizes. The material removal occurs in a controlled manner leading to no damage, burrs or any negative influences to the material integrity.

What means FEMTO?
A FEMTO-LASER is a Laser which emits optical pulses with a duration well below 1 ps, i.e.,in the domain of femtoseconds (1 fs = 10−15 s = Onequadrillionth of one second). It thus also belongs to the category of ULTRAFAST LASERS or ULTRASHORT PULSE LASERS.
What micromachining challenges meets FEMTO-second LASER technology?
- Increased number of holes per guide plate (> 100K) with reduced pitch
- Productivity (square holes 20 x 20 µm < 1.2 sec/hole)
- Repeatability, reproducibility, consistency (several days of production in a row)
- High positioning accuracy (process accuracy within ± 2 µm)
- Stability and reliability (running 24/7)
