Tempered and regular glass parts are widely used in modern electronics from smartphones to television sets and other industries. There are many types of glass with different tempering structure, material composition, thickness and other qualities. Every particular glass type requires development of a specific laser cutting process and machinery in order to achieve highest cut quality and throughput.

High speed laser cutting of glass and sapphire is a common task in nowadays industry. Mechanical cutting processes are becoming obsolete, therefore innovative methods are emerging.

Workshop of Photonics is developing state of the art laser technologies, which allow cutting of almost any type of glass/sapphire available.

Depending on the fabrication application WOP has different microfabrication techniques which could be adapted to achieve the best result. By using femtosecond laser system we are able to drill, ablate, cut, mark  all kind of structures in different materials with very high precision, according to the depth, edge roughness and other requirements.

Laser ablation, drilling, cuting and scribing process can be done with very high precision and minimum influence to surrounding areas, because of very short-pulses of femtosecond laser. Precise amount of material can be removed from the substrate according to the requirements.

In cooperation with a pilot scale solar cell production line in Lithuania we design dedicated tools for laser processing of solar cell. Several key applications are described within this category.

Polymers have one common feature: sensitivity to heat, which make them a rather special matter for femtosecond micro-machining.

Femtosecond laser impulses destroy the matter without heat effect, signs of burning or undesired transformation.

Two-photon Polymerization is unique technology for 3D structuring in micro and nano precision.

We are capable not only to fabricate different materials with highest presition, but also to micromachine complicated materials, like heat sensitive polymers, extremely brittle ceramics and others.
