摘要
Ultrafast fiber lasers, with their distinct features of high stability, superior beam quality, compactness and power scalability have revolutionized a variety of applications, ranging from micromachining and medical diagnostics to basic research. One of the applications include Ultrafast Laser Inscription, a technology that has considerably improved and diversified with advances in stable, high power Ytterbium-doped fiber lasers. This paper explores the highly interdisciplinary application realm of Ultrafast Laser Inscription for the development of novel photonic and optofluidic devices.
