The process could be used as a faster and more affordable alternative to vacuum- and mask-based piezo-MEMS manufacturing methods
Jessica Rowbury reports on the importance of technical light applications in meeting the targets of the Paris Agreement
The Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (ILT), based in Aachen, Germany, has developed a new ablative process for the ultra-precise machining of aspherical optics
At booth 4629-27 Fraunhofer ILT will be exhibiting new laser optics with diamond lenses that have enabled the institute to produce a laser cutting head that is 90 per cent lighter than comparable components instead using glass lenses
