StarShape E/D/L

Selective Ablation

The lasers of the StarShape E/D/L series accomplish precise and selective ablation of workpiece surfaces by vaporization processes – the ideal basis for micro structuring, drilling, cutting or scribing. Applications in the the photovoltaic, tool and mold making, semicon, automotive and medical device industries require processing of metals, semiconductors, ceramics or diamonds. Especially in this field the extremely good beam quality of the Q-switched solid-state laser proves ist advantage.

Nd:YAG or Nd:Vanadate

Depending on the structure size of the laser process you can choose between high-performance Gaussian mode (up to 20 W) or low order mode lasers (up to 100 W) with a wavelength of 1064 nm. As to applications with extremely critical heat affected zones the Nd:Vanadate laser – the StarShape E is the optimal system. Its extremely short laser pulses minimize the draining of the energy via heat conduction. The result is an almost optimal process efficiency and minimal thermal load, which is ideal for micro structuring. In case of greater ablation volumes however, the longer pulses of the lamp or diode-pumped Nd:YAG lasers – StarShape D and L – have proven their efficiency.

Also in Green

Certain materials like copper or various semiconductors show absorption characteristics, different from other materials. Green light (532 nm) used here in frequency-doubled lasers has a decisive advantage: the absorption is significantly higher and therefore the laser power can be injected very efficiently into the material surface to be processed.

Flexiblity

Dynamic beam technology is the optimal choice if speed is required, since the laser beam can be moved much faster than a heavy workpiece. Of course, all the lasers can also be equipped with fixed optics - some with flexible fibercoupling.

Various power levels, wavelengths, pulse widths and flexible equipment – StarShape solid-state lasers cover a huge range of applications. Specify yours!
