Ablation Processes

Use lasers to vaporize the surface of a target – to texture it or to perform some type of chemical analysis of its composition.

LIBS Get better data economically using our Flare nanosecond lasers.
LA-ICP-MS Choose the right laser from the only company offering fs and excimer lasers.
Femtosecond Ablation Use our powerful Monaco lasers to perform faster surface texturing.

Optimized Ablation

Ablation involves many variables: the sample type, the spot size, the laser wavelength, pulse energy, and pulse width, the desired ablation rate, and more. So while all ablation applications need a pulsed laser, the ideal laser characteristics are application-specific. Coherent can uniquely promise the best laser for your application for two reasons. We offer a comprehensive and unmatched range of laser technologies, from excimers to ultrafast. And just as important, we have the applications experience to give you the optimum solution.
