Nondiffracting pulsed beams are well studied nowadays and can be as short as a few femtoseconds. The nondiffracting pulsed beams not only resist diffraction but also propagate without changes due to the dispersion of a linear dispersive medium. A promising member of non-diffracting beam family is the so-called Mathieu beam which is a solution of Helmholtz wave equation in elliptical coordinate system. Zeroth order even Mathieu beams have unique asymmetric cross-section which makes these beams suitable for precise material processing. In this work we derive vectorial Mathieu beams using classical techniques and superpose them to create femtosecond pulsed beams. For these pulsed beams diffraction spreading and dispersive broadening is compensated by a given angular dispersion. Various intensity distributions, durations, angular dispersions and polarization states of different vector Mathieu focus wave modes are presented and discussed in detail.

We fabricate Au microneedle structures by irradiating nanosecond optical vortex pulse, possessing orbital angular momentum (OAM), to Au thin film. Twisted microneedle associated with the handedness of optical vortex is formed. The partial liquid motion of the molten Au film and the OAM transfer effects play a role to establish a twisted Au microneedle. An Au microsphere on a twisted pillar is also achieved. Non-twisted structure is fabricated with picosecond optical vortex pulse irradiation due to unoptimized condition such as laser fluence, film thickness and unavoidable imperfections of the optical vortex.

Weber-type parabolic beams have a transverse intensity profile, which is parabolically-shaped and can be flexibly controlled. On the other hand, this type of beams belongs to the family of the so-called nondiffracting beams and have properties, promising for applications where the shape of the beam is of an importance. Vector electromagnetic theory has to be introduced in order to fully describe optical beams inside a high numerical aperture system, where the angles of the spatial spectra are large. We introduce here parabolic vector focus wave modes (FWM), which are both resistant to diffraction and to material dispersion. We employ here a spectral approach and investigate durations of parabolic vector FWMs in the femtosecond region. Two cases of transverse electric and transverse magnetic modes are introduced and both standing and traveling types of waves are considered. We demonstrate how the angular dispersion affects the pulse shape and its properties. Parabolic vector FWMs are studied in a transparent dielectric media (sapphire), which is widely used as laser processed material.

Use of lightweight materials to produce automotive body structures is one of the key trends adopted by automotive manufacturers to minimise emission of greenhouse gases, and subsequently, reduction of fuel consumption. Aluminium alloys are one of the promising lightweight materials which are increasingly used for automotive body-in-white structures. Such applications demand both efficient and effective joining/welding methods to produce repeatable, durable and strong joints without significant alteration of material properties. Remote laser welding (RLW) is an emerging joining technology and increasingly being used to produce lightweight joints as it satisfies the demand for high production throughput at low cost. This paper investigates the effects of process parameters when seam tracking remote laser welding is used to create an autogenous fillet edge weld of automotive grade aluminum alloy (AC-170PX) in lap configuration without shielding gas. The effects of laser power and welding speed on the key geometric features are reported together with details of the weld microstructure. Joint strength is evaluated by performing a lap shear test. It is found that the laser power and welding speed have dominant influence on key geometric features and subsequently on the lap shear strength. Relatively larger grain size in the fusion zone reduces the microhardness by up to 20% in comparison with the base material.

High laser-scanning speed and high precision are two opposite parameters for effective laser surface texturing (LST). Application of a sequence of laser pulses (called burst) helps to increase the processing effectivennes and speed, but precision control of laser pulses arriving becomes a difficult task for micro-texturing. In this work, one possible solution for this dilemma is presented: a scan-ning strategy called shifted laser surface texturing (sLST) in burst regime. This burst sLST repre-sents an alternative method, where the inertia of galvanoscan mirrors becomes a useful factor at higher speeds. Physical principles of laser burst interaction with a material surface and resulting subsurface thermal-stress fields are discussed. Heat accumulation was calculated from a semi-planar model of temperature distribution from laser spots in the line of the burst. Residual subsurface temperature and pressure is called positive heat accumulation in the case of minimal output roughness of laser-scanned surfaces. Experimental application of the burst sLST was performed with a pico-second laser with a galvanoscan system. Results were evaluated by newly developed shape analysis of objects detected on contrast images of laser-processed stainless steel surfaces painted with high-emissivity paint. Deviation in sLST precision was determined from larger and smaller diameters of detected microobjects on the surface with LabIR coating. The roughness of depth structure in microobjects was controlled by a contact surface profiler and compared with the goal profile and positive heat accumulation distribution. The sLST method in burst regime enables a significant increase of processing speed while maintaining good precision of the produced texture.

Multi-Photon Polymerization (MPP) is a technique used to fabricate complex micro-scale 3D structures using ultra-short laser pulses. Typically, MPP is used to manufacture micron-scale components in photopolymer materials. However, the development of micron scale processes that can produce components from multiple materials within a single manufacturing step would be advantageous. This would allow the inclusion of particles that are manipulated and embedded within structures with sub-micron feature sizes. To achieve this, an MPP system was combined with an optical trapping (OT) setup in order to independently manipulate microparticles in the x, y and z planes. Particles were transported into the fabrication site using the OT and encapsulated using the MPP laser. Here it is shown that combining the OT capabilities with an additive manufacturing technique enables the production of complex multi-material artifacts.
