The capability of direct writing makes ultrashort pulse laser significant in the microfabrication of MEMS devices based on polymer and glass. In particular; nanosecond and femtosecond lasers are able to transfer the adequate energy in femtosecond intervals for the removal of the materials. Because of its advantages; just like the small feature size; smooth finishing surface; flexible structuring and the minimum thermal effect; ultrashort pulse lasers have become a convincing technique with the high peak power. This paper presents the femtosecond laser machining results of the polycarbonate; aluminosilicate glasses and nanosecond laser machining of aluminosilicate glasses. The microchannels with the critical micron-scale dimensions and the sub-micron scale surface roughness were achieved by the optimized operating parameters of the laser. The major influence factors such as cutting speed; power energy; and power stability were analyzed to obtain the optimized parameters for the fabrication of the microchannels for a bubble switch. The ultrashort pulse laser micromachining was applied in the prototype of a bubble optical switch. By miniaturization of the structure of the microchannel; the switch speed can be promisingly improved;
