The intermediate pulse duration regime between typical ultra-short and nanosecond pulses has been investigated using MHz-range bursts of 70 ps pulses emitted from a custom-made fiber laser source. The goal of this study was to observe and understand the processes involved during laser ablation on the timescales from picoseconds to nanoseconds, relevant due to pulses in bursts. We developed material processing approaches that enable similar behaviour as single 70 ps pulse ablation to ultra-short pulses in terms of quality and burst-mode behaviour like nanosecond pulses in terms of efficiency. The variability of the fiber laser operation modes was studied and compared to both ultra-short and nanosecond pulses from standard laser sources.
