While high pulse repetition rates provide higher throughput, the high peak power of laser pulses is imperative for cutting different materials with sharper angle, thus significantly reducing material losses and increasing rate of cutting.
The high peak power is one of the most important features of Passat’s family of picosecond lasers, especially at short UV wavelengths (266 nm – 40 MW, 213 nm – 30 MW).
