Abstract:
1. A method for selectively ablating one or more layers of a layered material, the method comprising: (a) using a sensing device to determine one or more physical attributes of a layer of the layered material and selectively adjusting ultrafast laser output of an ultrafast laser device before an application of the ultrafast laser output based upon the one or more physical attributes of the layer of the layered material; (b) applying the ultrafast laser output of the ultrafast laser device to the layer of the layered material along a tool path to ablate the layer along the tool path; (c) re-executing steps (a) and (b) to ablate one or more additional layers, the re-execution of steps (a) and (b) occurring for each distinct layer of the layered material that is to be ablated; wherein
