摘要

Abstract

The unique characteristics of ultrafast lasers

such as picosecond and femtosecond lasers

have opened up new avenues in materials processing that employ ultrashort pulse widths and extremely high peak intensities. Thus

ultrafast lasers are currently used widely for both fundamental research and practical applications. This review describes the characteristics of ultrafast laser processing and the recent advancements and applications of both surface and volume processing. Surface processing includes micromachining

micro- and nanostructuring

and nanoablation

while volume processing includes two-photon polymerization and three-dimensional (3D) processing within transparent materials. Commercial and industrial applications of ultrafast laser processing are also introduced

and a summary of the technology with future outlooks are also given.
