A number of articles on lasers and laser materials processing are presented.
Dr. M. Mendes's thesis in laser micromachining is available on line for free, its various chapters with distinct links below. For a small fee the thesis and additional papers are available for download in pdf here.
Additional papers and web articles will be posted over time on relevant themes.
One will discuss many different areas namely high speed LED sapphire scribing with DPSS lasers, excimer laser lift off of GaN – sapphire wafer based and flip chip, laser micro machining of various materials such as ceramics, polymers, metals and semiconductors, scribing of solar thin films such as silicon, CdTe, CIGS, and III-V semiconductors, etc.
