To shorten the wait for the 14th ThGOT and the 6th Optics Colloquium we would like to give you a small foretaste of our numerous exciting technical presentations in the coming weeks.
Laser-induced transfer of PVD coatings to product surfaces
Dr. Ralph Domnick / Ara-Coatings GmbH & Co. KG, Erlangen
PVD coatings are applied to flexible, transparent PET films. PET films coated in this way are placed on the product surface with the layer side first - in the focus of a standard marking laser. With suitable settings of the laser parameters and after activation of the laser beam, the PVD layers can be transferred from the PET film to the product surface in an adhesive manner - selectively or over a wide area. The technology is explained, properties of the lasered layers are discussed and decorative as well as functional applications are presented.
This talk will be presented on 03/14/2019 at 11:45 am in the 6th Colloquium Thin Films in Optics
Thin Film Lens Made by CMOS Process
Daniel Gäbler / X-FAB Semiconductor Foundries - Process Development, Erfurt, Germany
CMOS processing is (mask-) layer based and opens a wide design space, but unfortunatly only in two dimensions. Therefore classical refractive lenses were never part of such processes. Lukily there are alteranative designs that are compatible with CMOS processing and allow to create a flat lens. This talk will give an introduction to that specific field and show some practical achievements.
