Abstract

Using a picosecond laser system that can operate at 1064, 532, 355, and 266nm wavelengths, experiments were conducted with polished metal samples to study material removal from a low number of laser pulse exposures. The samples were analyzed with a scanning electron microscope and white light interferometer to gather data on surface deformation and material removal. The effects of wavelength, energy and a double pulse exposure method were examined. Results were compared with simulations that model the material removal rates from ultrashort pulse drilling.
