Abstract
In this paper, we review the interaction of femtosecond laser pulses with materials. We discuss the fundamental processes involved and a number of applications, classifying the work into two parts: the interaction with transparent materials (bulk femtosecond micromachining) and interaction with absorbing materials (femtosecond surface structuring).
