Abstract
A laser writing system includes a high reflector and an output coupler that define an oscillator cavity. A gain medium and a mode locking device are positioned in the oscillator cavity. A diode pump source produces a pump beam that is incident on the gain medium and an output beam is produced. A support holds a workpiece. Means are provided for directing the output beam across the workpiece.
