Abstract
Femtosecond technology, with its ultrashort light pulses, is an innovative laser technology that can be used for multiple applications, e.g., in industrial manufacturing, information and communication technologies, environmental technology and life sciences (medicine, biology, chemistry). This volume concentrates on the use of ultrashort pulses as a tool for ultraprecise material removal in manufacturing and medical therapy, as well as a tool for metrology and for X-ray production.
