About this Research Topic
In this Research Topic, we would like to create a repository of all the work done in using ultrafast lasers in Advance manufacturing. We seek publications to highlight the recent progress in both research and development trend and industry product implementation prospects, challenges, and opportunities ahead. Especially the new application demand and requirements of ultrafast lasers in Advance manufacturing. In this Research Topic we welcome the contributions in the following areas:
• Ultrafast laser interaction with manufacturing materials
• Additive manufacturing using ultrafast laser systems
• Ultrafast laser ablation of materials
• Ultrafast laser applications in ink synthesis
• Ultrafast laser writing in photonic materials
• Ultrafast lasers for creating sensors under harsh environment
• Generation of inflexible and electronic circuits
• Ultrafast laser interaction with semiconductor devices
• Application of ultrafast lasers in biomedical sensors
• Femtosecond laser three-dimensional micro and nanofabrication
• Industrial fiber and semiconductor laser development for material processing.
Topic Editor Sandra Bruce is a founder and an owner of the company Surge Photonics LLC. Dr. Bruce is also a part time employee of, an independent consultant for, National Energetics, Inc. All other Topic Editors declare no competing interests with regards to the Research Topic subject.
