Abstract
Spatial temporal focusing (SSTF) of femtosecond pulses has enabled a new paradigm in terms of the application of femtosecond pulses to micromachining [1]. These applications range from rapid three-dimensional proto-typing to surgical procedures where rapid cutting close to sensitive barriers can be important. Here we present a technological advance that directly integrates the SSTF platform into the chirped pulse amplification system. In addition, we demonstrate a refractive optical delivery system that integrates energetic SSTF femtosecond pulses that can be used for ablation and material modification with a low-energy femtosecond pulse train which is used to image the targeted region within the specimen.
