Lasers exhibit a number of features that makes them unique sources of energy for several material processing methods. For example, they are indispensable tools for drilling, welding, and cutting in industrial manufacturing where high average and peak powers are required. Furthermore, by virtue of their high spatial coherence, lasers can produce patterns with resolutions that extend over four orders of magnitude from millimeters to hundreds of nanometers. And lastly, materials can be removed, added, or modified without physical contact between a tool and the target substrate allowing rapid and inexpensive turnover.
