110 page white paper on Laser Technology amd Micromachining. Includes laser theory, CO2, Solid State Nd+3, and Excimer lasers. Sections on Principles of Laser Materials Processing, Photo-Ablation and Material Interaction with UV Light, Beam Delivery Techniques, System Integration, and Examples of Materials Processing Systems.
The emergence of laser job-shop and high-volume contract manufacturing signals the maturation of the laser micromachining industry. Behind this growth is the healthy competitive co-existence of both laser manufacturers and volume contract manufacturers.
The development of small excimer lasers with relatively small pulse energies but with the capability of reaching high repetition rates, coupled to acceptable gas lifetimes and good beam quality, has opened up new opportunities for laser applications in manufacturing. . . . . . This paper explores some of the new applications and benefits of this technology.
. . . .therefore there is a trend towards the fabrication of specialty pinholes, air slits, collimators and spatial filters that may require high dimensional tolerances and repeatability or resolutions approaching the diffraction limit of the illumination source. To meet these needs, hybrid laser micromachining technology of metals known as PIVOTAL has been developed.

It is well known that lasers are utilized in the medical device industry. When facing a challenging manufacturing problem, manufacturing engineers always evaluate a variety of solutions available to them, including lasers. . . . We would like to address some of these issues associated with laser contract manufacturing in an attempt to assist production managers and manufacturing engineers in their decision making process.
A Manufacturing Engineer's guide to medical device manufacturing
using laser micromachining technology.
Medical Device Skiving is a manufacturing term to describe the
removal of the outer wall of a delivery device. These delivery
devices tend to be catheters which, in association with guide
wires, may act as a conduit for a balloon, stent, brush, monitor
,drug delivery or evacuation tool.
Precision flow devices are based upon volumetric control of
a liquid, gas or solid. As the market demands of medical device
products, instrumentation, test or consumer products become more
stringent, the necessity for tighter and substantially smaller
volumetric control has led to the emergence of new devices to
regulate flow.
Laser Micromachining Technology is a method to manufacture these
devices.

Excimer lasers strip polymer coating from the metal wires of
cauterization devices to provide electrical access to these wires.
Excimer laser thinning (outer-layer stripping) is used to increase
the exibility of devices to allow them to navigate tortuous arteries.
An embolic filter prevents the broken-off pieces from entering
the vessels. This device parachute-like net that crosses the
lesion area before in-stenting is performed, acting as a trap.
The excimer-laser-drilled holes are large enough to allow blood
flow, but small enough to catch any potentially dangerous debris.
Excimer-laser micromachining, coupled with precision motion and
machine vision systems, has proven to be a powerful tool for
the microfabrication of intravascular devices.
