A femtosecond laser based laser processing system having a femtosecond laser, frequency conversion optics, beam manipulation optics, target motion control, processing chamber, diagnostic systems and system control modules. The femtosecond laser based laser processing system allows for the utilization of the unique heat control in micromachining, and the system has greater output beam stability, continuously variable repetition rate and unique temporal beam shaping capabilities. 1. A system , comprising:a fiber-based source of ultrashort laser pulses, said fiber-based source comprising at least one fiber amplifier;a controller to control said fiber-based source; anda beam manipulator to monitor one or more pulse characteristics of said laser pulses and to generate feedback data for said controller,wherein said pulse characteristics comprise an output power, a pulse energy, a pulse width, a wavelength, a repetition rate, a polarization, a temporal delay, a temporal phase, a spatial phase, or a combination thereof,wherein said controller receives signals representative of said one or more pulse characteristics and generates control signals to vary at least one of said pulse characteristics, said controller being networked to at least one computing means via a physical link and/or wireless link.2. The system of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of said beam manipulator is disposed downstream from said fiber-based source of ultrashort pulses claim 1 , and arranged to manipulate ultrashort laser pulses directed downstream from said fiber-based source and toward a material processing beam path for application to target material.3. The system of claim 1 , wherein said fiber-based source is capable of generating ultrashort output pulses at a variable repetition rate.4. The system of claim 3 , wherein said repetition rate is variable in the range from 10 kHz to 50 MHz.5. The system of claim 1 , wherein said ultrashort output pulses comprise at least one pulse having a ...
