After successful completion of the course, students are able to

•   state the requirementsthe requirements for laser systems for precision processing
• give a detailed description of excimer, solid-state and ultrashort pulse lasers
• explain the differences between 2-, 3- and 4-level laser systems
• carry out simple estimations of the removal rate for different materials
• explain the basics of linear and nonlinear optics

Basics of micro- und nanostructuring with lasers:

short pulses in the nano-, pico- nad femtosecond region

Interaction between electromagnetic radiation and materials

beam delivery and shaping

applications of sub-µm structuring

tentative company visit(s)

• Lecture with application examples
• periodic discussions and in-depth studies of the most recently presented topics

On request, lecture can be given in English - depending on participants.
