Q-Switching in Micro Manufacturing by Laser

Abstract

Q-switching is a method to create high power- short pulses in laser material processing. Although fifty years passed after the development of this method, it is still used especially in the new developed fiber laser devices. High-energy pulses enable some micro-manufacturing applications which never been possible. For this reason, the importance of this technique can be emphasized for laser micro-machining applications. The aim of the present manuscript is to give beneficial information about Q-switch mechanism in laser micro-manufacturing applications and evaluate the rapid development of this technique from the viewpoint of industrial dimension. Thus historical development, theory, types and current usage fields of q-switching method were given in the paper.
