Challenges in the Characterization and Diagnosis of Ultrafast Laser Beams
29 January 2025 • 2:45 PM - 3:45 PM PST | Moscone Center, Expo Stage, Hall DE (Exhibit Level) 
Ultrafast lasers are revolutionizing material processing by enabling the creation of highly precise and intricate structures with minimal thermal impact. However, the advancement of these lasers, such as the development of sharp pulses and burst modes, presents significant challenges in measurement and characterization. Standard tools often fall short in accurately diagnosing these innovative laser technologies. In this forum experts discuss the complexities of diagnosing these cutting-edge ultrafast pulses and they share insights about the difficulties faced in characterization and explore solutions that have been proposed to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of ultrafast laser applications.
