A few weeks ago, a high-power blue laser (P = 4 kW, λ = 445 nm) from Laserline was successfully installed at the Institute of Photonic Technologies. This system will be used to investigate the relationships between laser wavelength and process characteristics for e.g., the laser welding of copper. A...

Recently, our laboratory was equipped with the Amplitude Tangor 300 IR, a versatile femtosecond laser that can operate in the femto- to picosecond range. With its adjustable pulse duration and high power, it enables us to carry out high-precision investigations in laser material processing and laser...

In September of this year, the 43rd parabolic flight campaign of the German Space Agency  (DLR) took place in Bordeaux. This unique opportunity gave researchers from Germany the chance to carry out more than 600 experiments under microgravity conditions. This year's campaign focused on advanced manu...

From September 15 to 19, 2024, the 13th CIRP Conference on Photonic Technologies took place in the Stadthalle Fürth. This year we celebrated a very special event - LANE turned 30 years old. In this anniversary year, around 350 participants from all over the world gathered again to discuss the la...

At the beginning of December 2023, our Photonic Medical Technology group organized the workshop "Optical Sensing in Turbid Media". The event took place at the Novotel Erlangen. Renowned experts from the fields of Random Laser, Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), Light Tissue Interaction and...

The research focus of Sebastian-Paul Kopp is laser-based 3D printing from polymer powders.  He uses a technique similar to a common laser printer to individually deposit the powder onto the laser bed. In his subsequent work, he successfully adapted his setup to 3D-print custom-made medication. As...

The doors of the Stadthalle Fürth in the metropolitan region of Erlangen-Nuremberg opened for the 12th CIRP Conference on Photonic Technologies from September 4th to 8th to offer scientists from over 20 countries the opportunity to discuss the latest research results and the potential of photonic te...

As a non-contact and highly automatable joining process, laser beam welding has been constantly gaining importance in industrial manufacturing applications. One of the greatest challenges is the formation of solidification cracks in the weld seam during the welding process. Solidification cracks can...
