OPTIMIZATION OF HIGH RESOLUTION DIGITALLY ENCODED LASER SCANNERS FOR FINE FEATURE MARKING

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are laser scanning systems and methods of their use. In some embodiments, laser scanning systems can be used to ablatively or non-ablatively scan a surface of a material. Some embodiments include methods of scanning a multi-layer structure. Some embodiments include translating a focus-adjust optical system so as to vary laser beam diameter. Some embodiments make use of a 20-bit laser scanning system.
