We have performed a comparative study of UV laser ablation of SrTiO3with nanosecond- and sub-picosecond sources, respectively. The experiments were performed with lasers at a wavelength of 248nm and pulse durations of 34ns and 500fs. Femtosecond ablation turns out to be more efficient by one order of magnitude and eliminated the known problem of cracking of SrTiO3during laser machining with longer pulses. In addition, the cavities ablated with femtosecond pulses display a smoother surface with no indication of melting and well-defined, sharp edges. These effects can be explained by the reduced thermal shock effect on the material by using ultrashort pulses.
