Abstract

The present invention provides various method of ablative material removal from an object. One such method uses a short optical pulse that is stretched amplified and then compressed by generating an initial sub-picosecond pulse in a semiconductor pulse generator and time-stretching the initial pulse, amplifying the stretched pulse and then compressing the amplified pulse, wherein the amplifying and compression are done with either a optically-pumped-amplifier and air-path between gratings compressor combination, or a SOA and chirped optically-pumped compressor combination, wherein more than one amplifiers are used in parallel, and pulses are timed to arrive at the surface from 1 to 50 nanoseconds apart, and applying the compressed optical pulse to the object.
