Laser Ablation for Microfluidic Applications: Simulation and Experimental Analysis of Microfluidic Geometries Fabricated with an Excimer Laser Incorporating a Novel Intelligent Pinhole Mask
Conlisk, Kevin (2011-09-30)Excimer lasers have proven to be a useful tool for the precision removal of thin layers of polymer material. With the advent of polymer microfluidics, excimer lasers may have a role to play in the production of small volume ... -
Physical and bio cellular response of laser induced periodic surface structures formed using a femtosecond laser on a platinum alloy
McDaniel, Clare (2015-09-30)Minimally invasive implantable medical devices represent a major advance in the treatment of obstructive coronary artery disease with stent implantation becoming the standard coronary angioplasty procedure. Such devices ... -
Pulsed laser material interaction with thin indium tin oxide films
McDonnell, Cormac (2015-09-30)The interaction of short and ultrashort laser pulses with very thin films is currently an important area of research for laser material interactions. The interaction between the laser pulse and the thin transparent conductive ... -
Ultrashort pulse laser scribing of thin flexible glass
Collins, Adam (2016-02-04)Laser scribing of thin glass has proven problematic due to inefficient optical absorption and difficulty achieving economical processing speeds while maintaining edge quality. Laser processing of glass is pertinent to touch ... -
Wavelength dependence of femtosecond laser ablation of thin gold films
Haustrup, Natalie (2014-05-26)The demand for efficient laser processing of materials is as strong as ever and this requires a deep understanding of the fundamental laser-material interactions. There has been a recent upsurge in the number of studies ...
