A Practical Comparison of Beam Shuttering Technologies for Pulsed Laser Micromachining Applications

In this report we investigate the performance of various beam shutter technologies when applied to femtosecond laser micromachining. Three different shutter options are considered: a mechanical blade shutter, a bistable rotary solenoid shutter, and an electro-optic modulator (EOM) shutter. We analyz...
