The markings were proven to withstand the 500 cycles, however the study provided evidence that only by using an additional passivation process--developed to exactly match the marking process--can long-term protection against corrosion be achieved for marks made with both short-pulsed (nanosecond) and ultrashort pulsed (
picosecond) lasers.
'Another option is ablative fractional resurfacing as a solo treatment or in combination with the Q-switched or
picosecond laser, which has better efficacy," he said.
The cross plane thermal diffusivities of four polycrystalline Mo nanofilms with thickness of 95.3 nm, 200 nm, 400 nm, and 600 nm deposited on glass substrates have been studied by applying the
picosecond laser transient thermoreflectance technique, including FF and RF modes, at 300 K.
Compared to nanosecond sources, the
picosecond pulse length significantly reduces thermal damage in adjacent material.
There are still limitations to
picosecond lasers, including that the machines break down frequently and are very expensive.
(2) Ultrafast pulsed semiconductor laser: A semiconductor laser capable of emitting pulsed laser beams (repeated blinking at short intervals), where each pulse duration is extremely short (3
picoseconds in this case).
Hamamatsu will reportedly use the
picosecond laser technology for the development of microelectronic products.
Star of the show is the new Taiko PDL M1, a smart
picosecond pulsed laser driver.
DENVER -- The fractionated
picosecond Nd:YAG laser and fractionated thulium fiber laser can be equally effective for facial rejuvenation, results from a small split-face trial showed.
MKS Instruments has introduced the IceFyre 355-30 from Spectra-Physics, a high-power UV
picosecond hybrid fibre laser with exceptional cost-performance, stability and reliability.
Aesthetic device company WONTECH reported on Friday the receipt of US Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance for its
picosecond laser device, PICOCARE, for tattoo removal.
