Hello,
I am not a laser expert and would like to have some advice from laser enthusiasts about the feasibility of a project involving a laser.
I want to make 30 um diameter holes in 50 nanometer thick plastic sheets at a ~0.1 m distance with a laser. Is it possible with a simple laser diode and an appropriate lense ? Is it possible at all with more sophisticated equipment ?
Additionally, I want to direct the beam over a 1 mm range at 0.1 m distance with a galvanometer mirror. I guess that I should place the lense between the diode and the mirror ? I imagine a setup consisting simply of a diode laser, a lense and an homemade galvanometer.
I kept it short, let me know if you need some more information.
Thank you for your advices
