Glass welding by ultra-short pulsed (USP) lasers is a piece of technology that offers high
strength joints with hermetic sealing. The joints are typically formed in glass that is …

The rapid expansion of femtosecond (fs) laser technology brought previously unavailable
capabilities to laser material processing. One of the areas which benefited the most due to …

Nowadays, ultrafast laser welding has been widely used in chip labs, microelectronic
systems (MEMS), and micro-medical implantable devices, etc. The welding of the non …

Conventional manufacturing of glass microfluidic devices is a complex, multi-step process
that involves a combination of different fabrication techniques, typically photolithography …

Ceramics are difficult to machine into complex shapes due to their high hardness and
brittleness. In practical applications, ceramics often need to be jointed to themselves or …

A direct joining of sapphire and Fe–36Ni alloy was successfully realized via femtosecond
laser micro-welding for the first time. A sound joint without any voids or microcracks was …

Ultrafast lasers are proven and continually evolving manufacturing tools. Concurrently,
additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a key area of interest for 3D fabrication of …

We report systematic analysis and comparison of ps-laser microwelding of industry relevant
Al6082 parts to SiO 2 and BK7. Parameter mapping of pulse energy and focal depth on the …

The ultrafast laser-matter interaction is explored to induce new pioneering principles and
technologies into the realms of fundamental science and industrial production. The local …

Conventional manufacturing of microfluidic devices from glass substrates is a complex, multi-
