An investigation into whether the laser drilling capabilities of a 2kW fibre laser can be enhanced using pulse train shaping

In long, ms, pulsed melt ejected based laser drilling of metals pulse train shaping has previously improved drilling efficiency. This work investigates if pulse train shaping can be exploited in the laser drilling of 0.8-2 mm mild steel with a 1070 nm wavelength 2kW IPG 2000S fibre laser. Single pul...
