Distinct characteristics of femtosecond lasers such as ultrashort pulse width and extremely high peak intensity
have opened up new avenues for materials processing. Thus, many researchers are currently
studying in diverse fields of materials processing using femtosecond lasers, including micromachining,
surface nanostructuring, super-resolution nanofabrication, nano and novel materials synthesis, material
welding and bonding, three-dimensional and volume processing, and tailored beam processing. Among
these subjects, this paper reviews recent progress of three topics on surface nanostructuring, 3D and volume
processing, and tailored beam processing that are being investigated by the author’s group.
