工业超快激光器是许多新工业制造工艺的关键组成部分。激光-物质相互作用过程的几乎无热性质使得能够对许多不同材料进行高质量的材料加工，其特征尺寸达到纳米级。激光平均功率和光束传输技术的进步显著提高了实际工业和医疗应用的吞吐量和生产率。在这篇文章中，我们介绍了激光加工的主要例子，包括钻孔、切割和表面加工。特别是，我们描述了超快激光如何改善患者的视力，延长电池寿命，提高太阳能电池和红外探测器的效率，或应用于印刷或微电子行业。这些例子说明了进一步的发展如何依赖于激光技术、光束处理和传输以及激光与物质相互作用过程的结合。
Industrial ultrafast lasers are a key component of many new industrial manufacturing processes. The virtually athermal nature of the laser-matter interaction process enables high-quality material processing for many different materials with feature size reaching into the nanometer scale. Advances in laser average power and beam-delivery technology have significantly improved the throughput and productivity of real-life industrial and medical applications. In this article, we present key examples of laser processing, including drilling, cutting, and surface processing. In particular, we describe how ultrafast lasers can improve vision in patients, extend battery lifetime, improve the efficiency of solar cells and infrared detectors, or be applied in the printing or microelectronics industries. These examples demonstrate how further developments rely on a combination of laser technology, beam handling and delivery, and laser-matter interaction processes.
