Until 2016, it was impossible to incorporate a femtosecond laser—an ultra-short pulse duration laser—onto a 5-axis machine. This was first realized by the Swiss group Georg Fischer in 2016, thereby ...

Scientists show that it is possible to make a femtosecond laser that fits in the palm of one's hand using a glass substrate. Is it possible to make a femtosecond laser entirely out of glass? That's ...

Andreas Stingl, CEO of Austrian company Femtolasers, talks to Nadya Anscombe about the market for femtosecond lasers and their wide variety of applications. How mature is the market for femtosecond ...

A 2015 study demonstrated that femtosecond lasers could be used to create nanostructures. The team had recognized that demand was increasing from industries to develop new materials with specific ...

Glass! It’s a finicky thing. Strong as hell, yet chip it and glance at it the wrong way, and you’re left with a bunch of sharp rubbish. It’s at once adored for its clarity and smoothness, and decried ...

Considering customized cataract treatment options? The Moran Eye Center is now offering the most advanced laser surgery available with femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery (FLACS). When you ...

Is it possible to make a femtosecond laser entirely out of glass? That’s the rabbit hole that Yves Bellouard, head of EPFL’s Galatea Laboratory, went down after years of spending hours – and hours – ...
