ICALEO 2013 Offers Achievable New Horizons for Laser Industry
By Geoff Giordano Much like the laser-assisted femto photography that has allowed MIT researchers to see around corners, the 32nd International Congress on Applications of Lasers & Electro-Optics (ICALEO®) illuminated photonic research in everything from routine processing to more arcane applications like laser-assisted generation of human cells. And, as did plenary speaker Boris Chichkov with […]
ICALEO 2013: The Premier Conference for Industry-Leading Laser Research
By Geoff Giordano With a new general chairman and the first female recipient of the Arthur L. Schawlow award, the 32nd International Congress on Applications of Lasers & Electro-Optics (ICALEO®) Oct. 6-10 in Miami, FL promises to yet again raise the bar on the laser industry’s premier research conference. Stefan Kaierle, who for the past […]

Laser Microprocessing Powered by UV Photons
By: Ralph Delmdahl and Rainer Pätzel Coherent GmbH, Germany UV wavelengths are particularly advantageous in laser microprocessing because the high energy photons can remove material by direct bond breaking in most materials, including plastics and glasses. This photoablation process generates virtually no heat and hence only marginal peripheral thermal damage as compared to longer wavelength lasers.
