A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Creating Quality Parts Using Laser Welding
Tue, Oct 31, 2023 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EDT
To create successful welds, many parameters must be kept within specifications, including laser power at the workpiece, beam quality, focal plane, hitting the seam, cleanliness of parts, gap between parts, welding speed, and machine accuracy. Some parameters need to be checked pre-processing to avoid scrap. Others should be measured during the process to avoid failures. In this webinar, Ophir and Lessmüller join forces to offer a full picture of the measurements needed during the laser welding process. Presented by Ophir and Lessmüller Lasertechnik.
Advancing Quantum and Nano-Photonics with Machine Learning
Wed, Nov 1, 2023 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
The discovery of unconventional optical designs via machine learning promises to advance on-chip circuitry, imaging, sensing, energy, and quantum information technology. In this talk, Alexandra Boltasseva of Purdue University discusses photonic design approaches and emerging material platforms for showcasing machine learning-assisted topology optimization for optical metasurface designs with applications in thermophotovoltaics, reflective optics, quantum photonic circuitry, and lightsail technology. She demonstrates the effectiveness of autoencoders for compressing the vast design space of metasurfaces into a smaller search space.
