We observe sample morphology changes in real time (24 kHz) during and between percussion drilling pulses by integrating a low-coherence microscope into a laser micromachining platform. Nonuniform cut speed and sidewall evolution in stainless steel are observed to strongly depend on assist gas. Interpulse morphology relaxation such as hole refill is directly imaged, showing dramatic differences in the material removal process dependent on pulse duration/peak power (micros/0.1 kW, ps/20 MW) and material (steel, lead zirconate titanate PZT). Blind hole depth precision is improved by over 1 order of magnitude using in situ feedback from the imaging system.

Various contents of carbon fibers (CFs) and potassium titanate whiskers (PTWs) were added to an Fe-based impregnated diamond bit (IDB) matrix to enhance its adaptability to percussive-rotary drilling. A series of mechanical tests were conducted successively to find the effects of the reinforcing materials on the properties of the Fe-based IDB samples. Then, the fracture surfaces of the samples were analyzed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy, and the worn surfaces and abrasive debris of the samples were analyzed using a laser scanning confocal microscope and SEM.

In this contribution, we present novel results on top-down drilling in silicon, the most important semiconductor material, focusing specifically on the influence of the laser parameters. We compare the holes obtained with repetitive single pulses, as well as in different MHz- and GHz-burst regimes. The deepest holes were obtained in GHz-burst mode, where we achieved holes of almost 1 mm depth and 35 µm diameter, which corresponds to an aspect ratio of 27, which is higher than the ones reported so far in the literature, to the best of our knowledge.

Materials processing with ultrashort laser pulses is one of the most important approaches when it comes to machining with very high accuracy. High pulse repetition rates and high average laser power can be used to attain high productivity. By tightly focusing the laser beam, the irradiances on the workpiece can exceed 10 W/cm, and thus cause usually unwanted X-ray emission.
