Research Group Laser Modification Competence

The rather ample collection of lasers in the department is used for laser modification of thin films and laser micromachining.

Laser crystallization of silicon and other semiconductor thin films:

  • Excimer laser crystallization for Si or GaAs nanocrystalline films
  • cw diode laser crystallization for Si multicrystalline films

Writing of Bragg gratings into optical fibers by a fs laser using the basic wavelength of 780 nm or second or third harmonic. No sensitizers in the fibers are required since the high intensities even in silica leads to nonlinear absorption followed by material modification.
