Stable and reliable mid-infrared nanosecond pulses for laser material processing

Most of the time, when purchasing a product, we look for basic features like quality, value, and innovation. In the laser world, things are more complicated since these tools have various parameters to look (pulse duration, wavelength, peak power, energy or repetition rate). When lasers are used in challenging material processing applications, the requirements on…

Selective laser processing Part 1: Optical fiber laser stripping

Manufacturing processes are constantly evolving and the complexity of the devices to be produced continues to grow. In the microelectronics, medical, and photonics industries, most devices include a stacking of various layers made of different materials. Each layer must be processed individually to ensure a good performance of the device. This is where selective laser…

Laser inscription of surface waveguides in polymers

Laser inscription of surface waveguides in polymers

Scientists at Université Laval, including our very own Simon Duval, recently published an article about a “novel fabrication technique for the fabrication of on-surface photonic devices in polymers” using mid-IR femtosecond lasers. In this article we will explore the origins and implications of this breakthrough.
