It will focus on the physical mechanisms of laser ablation (material removal) of selected materials with ultrashort laser pulses and its possible applications. The emphasis lies on material classes which are hard to process with conventional means and conventional laser sources and on materials and material systems, respectively, which are considered as promising for future microsystems.
The scientific results will be applied directly to technologically relevant problems like the selective ablation of multilayer devices, microstructuring of dielectric materials like glasses and on laser processing of polymer materials for in vivo medical applications.
