The application of ultrashort pulsed laser sources with pulse durations in the range of up to 10 picoseconds enables very precise materials processing with negligible thermal load for the processed work pieces. While the machining quality is excellent, the comparable small productivity in terms of ablation rate is the main shortcoming that inhibits a widespread industrial application in many cases. Subject of this dissertation is the upscaling of USP laser ablation to higher productivity by using average power of several hundred Watts while increasing the pulse repetition rates to several megahertz. Initially, the effects that are limiting the upscaling process are identified and investigated. When using high repetition rates, these limiting effects are heat accumulation on the one hand and shielding by plasma or particle plumes on the other hand. Within the presented dissertation a theoretical model is developed, which is capable of describing the impact of these two effects on the achievable productivity. The high relevance of the two effects for the USP laser ablation with high repetition rates is confirmed by experimental results. Heat accumulation is leading to the generation of melted and very rough surfaces, which cannot be accepted for most applications. On the other hand, shielding effects lead to a decrease of the achieved productivity of up to 50 %. Therefore, these effects need to be considered when doing an upscaling by using high repetition rates. By comparing experimental results and the developed theoretical description, heat accumulation and shielding effects can be attributed to underlying physical quantities. On the basis of the developed process understanding, a significant increase of the ablation rate to a value of more than 30 mm3/min is achieved for the processing of Inconel 718. In addition to the approach of applying fast scanning technology to use high repetition rates, a new approach is presented. Based on the specific utilization of heat accumulation, it is possible to achieve comparable high repetition rates at good surface quality using conventional, high flexible galvanometerscanners.
