Claim Text:
1. A system for laser-induced plasma micromachining of a work-piece comprising: a dielectric fluid; a dielectric fluid supply device to hold a work-piece in the dielectric fluid or to direct the dielectric fluid onto the work-piece; a laser to emit a pulsed laser-beam; a processor in electronic communication with the laser; and a memory in electronic communication with the processor, wherein the memory comprises programming code for execution by the processor, and the programming code is programmed to direct the laser to deliver the pulsed laser-beam into the dielectric fluid to create a plasma generated at a focal point of the pulsed laser-beam in the dielectric fluid to micromachine, using the plasma, the work-piece disposed adjacent to the focal point.
