Multiflex – Making Ultrafast Lasers faster

Ultrafast lasers with pulse durations down to the femtosecond range are known for their ultra-precise ablation and cutting results, but also for their long process durations. Funded by the EU, the MultiFlex project aims to make material processing with ultrafast lasers up to a hundred times faster by using a high-power USP laser with more than 1kW average power and a selective multibeam approach to deliver the power efficiently to the workpiece. Several partners are involved in this project including AA Opto Electronic.
