Abstract

In order to increase the efficiency, reliability, and cut quality of the mask generating YAG laser system, several improvements have been made to the hardware and software. High quality cuts with a low number of passes have been the goals in producing unique multi slit aperture masks. The description of these improvements and their results is presented.
