The generation of micro holes in different materials with laser has become a well-established process in the industrial sector in recent years. The production of structures with exactly defined geometries is thereby gaining increasing importance. The process is typically realized by using special drilling optics, which deflect the laser beam by rotary motion to create the desired drilling geometry and size. Deficiencies in the beam profile play a minor role and can even be accounted for during l...
