SEI and Matik showcase the latest laser technology at a joint printing exhibition

The Chinese Academy of Sciences reduced the volume of the deep ultraviolet laser by 90% and achieved 193 nm vortex beam output for the first time. Professor Xuan Hongwen described "loading truck equipment into the car trunk". This technology enables a 30% reduction in the size of lithography features, breaking through the bottleneck of the 2-nanometer process. In the next three years, laser power ...

A novel method is used to deflect the laser beam using only air. The interdisciplinary research team reported in the journal Nature Photonics that invisible gratings made solely of air not only do not suffer damage from lasers, but also retain the original quality of the beam. The researchers have applied for a patent for their method.Technology and PrinciplesThis innovative technology utilizes so...

In the last century, the improvement of mechanical properties of structural metals was mainly achieved through the creation of increasingly complex chemical compositions. The complexity of this ingredient increases costs, creates supply fragility, and makes recycling more complex.As a relatively new metal processing technology, metal 3D printing provides the possibility to re-examine and simplify ...

Recently, a research team from the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology and POSTECH University successfully utilized laser sintering pattern technology to create a deformable micro supercapacitor (MSCs), specifically designed to provide energy storage solutions for soft electronic devices. This breakthrough meets the urgent need for efficient energy storage systems in stretchable devices in...

Recently, exail (formerly iXblue) announced the acquisition of Leukos, an optical company specializing in providing advanced laser sources for metrology, spectroscopy, and imaging applications.Leukos was founded by the French XLIM Institute (a joint research department of the French National Academy of Sciences and the University of Limoges), with over 20 years of professional experience in the re...
