This project will make economic production of high aspect ratio molds possible by combining water guided laser machining and low coherence interferometry in one production machine.
Polarization sensitive wavefront sensors made of nanoscale gratings for characterization of thermal aberrations in high-energy laser lenses
Energy efficient remote welding of body work materials via innovative beam sources
Modular controllable laser spot for temperature-filed-matched welding of complex plastic components
Development of a fast resonant scanner for laser micromachining based on a novel electromagnetic drive technology.
The ORBITAL project (titled Design, development and evaluation of an orbital laser welding head) started in January 2011 due to the interest of implementing the laser welding process in industrial applications where orbital welding is needed.
