Abstract :
The high intensity which can be obtained by focusing the pulsed energy emitted by a ruby laser offers much potential as a tool for nearly forceless machining. The method can be used on any material, regardless of thermal properties, which can be evaporated without decomposition, including almost all ceramics and metals.
