    Picosecond infrared lasers ensure high-contrast, permanent, and corrosion-resistant marks.
    FIGURE 1. Cross-sections of machined channels in FEP (a) and PTFE (b) using different pulse durations are shown; in all cases, pulse energy, frequency, and scan speed were 100µJ, 10kHz, and 100mm/s, respectively.
    Testing demonstrates that from a processing perspective, a femtosecond laser is the correct tool for polymer processing.
