 In many areas such as microtechnology, microelectronics, biotechnology, optics, etc. there is a clear trend towards the production of smaller structures on thinner and sensitive elements together with the claim for lower tolerances. As an alternative to mechanical machining, Q-switched laser machining for mild material ablation (drilling, cutting, structuring) of materials with very different optical, mechanical and thermal properties is gaining more and more importance. The Division Applied Laser Technology at LMTB is an R&D interface between optics laser technology and specific applications. Research aiming at the development of processes and optical components is linked to challenges resulting from laser precision machining. There are two important aspects to consider when developing new laser-assisted machining processes: firstly expansion of the existing process limits and secondly implementation of the new process in accordance with market requirements. It is mandatory for future industrial exploitation to be able to answer potential user's questions relating to precision requirements, process speed and cost in order to facilitate the transfer of a scientific invention to an economic innovation. Another often decisive element in laser micro processing is the development and optimization of new methods. LMTB not only uses new laser beam sources, but also develops and tests new techniques for beam delivery, monitoring and laser processing. The possible combinations of requirements and types of material are manifold and these often present a challenge, one we accept with great interest. If you have any queries or require our consultation services regarding laser machining and/or process development, please do not hesitate to contact us. Contact person Dr. David Ashkenasi |
