    Using custom optics, the laser radiates a larger area on the copper foil coated with graphite paste. The interaction between the graphite particles and the light energy generates heat and the liquid evaporates.
    As startups and global transportation manufacturers continue to explore and make commitments to expand e-mobility, improving batteries ultimately takes center stage.

    Different CO2 laser pulse modes (Q-switched and modulated laser pulses) enable different functions for finishing optical glass materials, from ablation through surface correction polishing (a). The secret is a carefully constructed scan pattern and optimized laser parameters (b), allowing the laser to create complex, freeform structures such as this honeycomb glass element (c).
    Ablation of fused silica and other glass materials can be accomplished using CO2 or ultrafast lasers.
