AbstractLithium‐ion batteries are the energy storage medium of choice for myriad applications. The enormous demand worldwide is reaching new heights, motivating the development of lower cost, faster production methods. With all these efforts to economic efficiency, the quality of the manufactured batteries must remain at the highest level, a goal that can only be achieved if all the individual components meet their respective quality specifications. MKS, with its different brands in the photonics industry, has conducted intensive research to support customers in optimizing their laser‐based production processes. The latest research shows the advantages of using picosecond IR lasers with burst mode.
