CONT

Lasers ultrarapides. Contrairement aux impulsions des lasers traditionnels, dont la durée avoisine la nanoseconde, les impulsions ultrarapides (entre 10-12 et 10-15 peuvent déposer de l'énergie dans un matériau sans que la diffusion thermique puisse commencer. On peut éliminer ainsi de la matière sans échauffer la pièce et, ce faisant, obtenir une finition parfaite.
