Description
The history of materials processing teaches that each time a new processing technology becomes available, science and technology both can take a step forward. The new generation of free electron lasers now coming online offers such an opportunity. Their high advantage power enables the use of fs to ps, high peak power pulses for materials processing as well as fundamental studies, with the further advantage of wavelength tunability. Taking together what has been learned with low average power fs-ps pulses, an assessment of materials processing needs, and the emerging capabilities of the new FEL's suggests what are the most promising near-term opportunities for these facilities. Progress with corresponding experiments and how that can be carried into manufacturing are described.
