Abstract :
Ultrafast-laser pulsetrain-burst processing (microsecond bursts at 100 MHz) is an option for fluence-delivery which leads to exceptional characteristics of morphology and processing-rates; we describe the background science and application to mitigation of high-power laser-induced damage.
