  • LASER SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF
    Publication number: 20150034616
    Abstract: A laser system includes a laser configured to emit pulse bursts and a motion device in optical communication with the laser. The motion device moves a laser beam along a process path on a substrate and is configured to have a natural frequency that is greater than an operating frequency of the laser system. The laser system enables high and constant speed processing along tight radii in the process path, which is useful to form laser induced channels along the process path with equal spacing.
