Research in the field of laser processing and manufacturing

The chair of Laser-based Manufacturing focuses on many topics regarding the application of laser-based technologies, including laser micro processing, surface functionalization and simulation, laser welding, cutting and hardening, process development, photonic-based metrology, optics development and simulation, and multibeam laser-based processing. Other research areas include replication methods such as roll to roll and plate to plate embossing.

Research topics

Lab Equipment

For our research, different lasers systems as well as characterization equipment are available. In addition, due to our strong cooperation with the Fraunhofer IWS, in particular in the area “laser-based methods and photonics”, we also count with additional equipment that is utilized in our research.

Publications

Every year, our team publishes together with national and international colleagues research results in peer-reviewed journals as well as in books.

Laser-based fabrication methods

Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (LASER) technology can be conveniently applied to accomplish various tasks due to its ability to provide a large amount of energy in a very small area in a very controlled manner. Moreover, laser-based technologies are suitable for micro-manufacturing and precision manufacturing as well as in traditional fields like cutting, welding and hardening.

All these topics are addressed by the Chair, in strong cooperation with the Fraunhofer IWS in Dresden.
