Diffusible Hydrogen Analysis of Hybrid Laser Arc Welding
Hybrid laser arc welding was evaluated and qualified for hydrogen-sensitive steels. This will enable reduced cost and imporved productivity for ship building in the US.
Direct Laser Doping for High Efficiency Solar Cells
By: Malte Schulz-Ruhtenberg To make the generation of electricity from sunlight competitive to conventional means (like coal and nuclear power) the major goal at the moment is to reach the so-called grid parity, which marks the point where electricity from the receptacle costs the same as electricity generated by solar cells on the roof. This […]
Marking and micro-machining with nanosecond pulsed fiber lasers
Marking and micro-machining with nanosecond pulsed fiber lasers are maturing and elevating themselves from just simple marking lasers to far more capable micromachining tools.
