General Scheme:
The purpose of the Laser Processing Technology (LPT) Laboratory is to develop new technologies and applications employing ultrashort-pulsed laser radiation. The development also involves the research of novel materials, possibly generated using the available laser radiation, and analyzing the result of the development process using state-of-the-art characterization facilities. A detailed presentation can be found at (Link to presentation-pdf).
In general the laboratory is equipped with the following laser facilities, each providing a laser source coupled with a micro-processing station:
- IMRA fs fiber laser processing facility
- MHz laser processing facility
- kHz fs laser materials processing facility
In addition the laboratory can access a number of different characterization facilities, provided and managed by either by LPL (i.e. multi-pump μRaman spectrometer), CREOL (i.e. ZYGO microscope) or UCF (i.e. AMPAC). The ongoing research within the LPT laboratory is listed as followed:
- On-chip bio-sensor development
- 3D μ-optic development in transparent bulk materials
- Semiconductor Modification and Processing
- Bulk Refractive Index Modification
- Material Development for SHG
