About This Webinar
Those who use lasers in materials microprocessing applications — such as drilling via holes in PCBs, performing OLED display lift-off, and cutting smartphone cover glass — are faced with many challenges. The often-delicate combination of laser parameters can enable new and innovative processes, but such parameters can also cause unexpected damage to the measurement tools used to keep a process stable. These parameters include ultrashort pulse durations, high repetition rates, and short wavelengths. Mark Slutzki shares innovative solutions for the challenges that accompany materials microprocessing applications.
Attendees will learn:
- The unique ways that laser beams affect materials and how this makes new processes possible.
- Why regular measurement solutions can easily and unexpectedly be damaged by laser beams.
- New approaches specifically designed for monitoring the beams used in microprocessing applications.
At the end of the presentation, there will be an opportunity for questions.
Who should attend:
Engineers and manufacturers who use lasers in microprocessing applications. Professionals who work with laser systems for test and measurement within industries such as aerospace, automotive, biophotonics, defense, and semiconductors.
