Investigators from Chinese Academy of Sciences Target Engineering (Excimer Laser Marking - a Precise Patterning Technique for Material Surfaces).

A study conducted by investigators from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Hefei, People's Republic of China, explores the use of excimer laser marking as a precise and permanent method for surface patterning. The excimer laser, which operates in the ultraviolet spectrum, offers unique advantages such as minimal damage to materials and the ability to create fine features with unparalleled precision. The study reviews different excimer laser marking techniques and their potential applications, while also suggesting future research directions to enhance the technology's utility in industrial and manufacturing settings. This research has been peer-reviewed and is available in the journal Optics & Laser Technology. [Extracted from the article]
