Summary form only given. Laser drilling has been widely used in industry because of its high production rate, ability to rapidly vary hole size, ability to drill holes at shallow angles, and ability to drill traditionally hard to work materials such as ceramics and composite materials. We have extended this utility to sub-millimeter dimensions by use of a near diffraction limited copper laser and precision wave front tilting technology.
