title = "Effect of amplified spontaneous emission pedestal on femtosecond laser pulse interaction",
abstract = "The overview of research conducted in the Pennsylvania State University that target temporal characterization of a pulse produced by the commercial femtosecond laser systems is presented. The effect of nanosecond pedestal component that, according to the experiment and simulation results, contains significant (possibly up to 50% or higher) fraction of the total pulse energy is discussed. The experimental data on material drilling rates and melting are overviewed supporting results of temporal characterization of laser pulse.",
