Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of degraded spatial coherence on ultrafast-laser channel etching.
Jesse Dean,Martin Bercx,Felix Frank,Rodger Evans,Santiago Camacho-López,Marc Nantel,Robin Marjoribanks +6 more
TL;DR: For ultrafast-laser pulses at repetition rates >100 MHz, it is shown that the etch-rate is also affected by optical properties of the beam: the channel acts as a waveguide, and so the pulses will decompose into dispersive normal modes.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Optical coherence and beamspread in ultrafast-laser pulsetrain-burst hole drilling
Jesse Dean,Paul Forrester,Martin Bercx,David Graper,Luke McKinney,Felix Frank,Marc Nantel,Robin Marjoribanks +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a modified Michelson interferometer was used to measure transverse coherence of the beam as it propagates in a cylindrical channel, and the authors showed that as the beam propagates down the channel, it will decompose over the dispersive waveguide modes, and this will affect the beam coherence, ultimately limiting the maximum depth that the beam can reach.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Mitigating intrinsic defects and laser damage using pulsetrain-burst (>100 MHz) ultrafast laser processing
Luke McKinney,Felix Frank,David Graper,Jesse Dean,Paul Forrester,Maxence Rioblanc,Marc Nantel,Robin Marjoribanks +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a pulsetrain-burst micromachining was used to mitigate damage in fused silica, dielectric coatings, and inorganic crystals such as KD*P crystals.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Ultrafast laser pulsetrain-burst (≫100 MHz) processing of glasses for laser-damage mitigation and photonic applications
Luke McKinney,Felix Frank,David Graper,Jesse Dean,Paul Forrester,M. Rioblanc,M. Nantel,Robin Marjoribanks +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the background science and application to mitigation of high-power laser-induced damage is described, and the application of laser pulsetrain-burst processing is discussed.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Mitigating laser damage in glasses and crystals, using pulsetrain-burst (<100 MHz) ultrafast laser processing
Robin Marjoribanks,Felix Frank,David Graper,Luke McKinney,Y. Soudagar,Marc Nantel,M. Shirk,B. Stuart +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe studies in fused silica and crystals and describe how damage to optics caused by lasers may be mitigated by material-processing with ultrafast lasers, where high repetition rate pulsetrains afford special control of residual heat.
