Strasbourg has been known since the early 1980's for its activities in the field of high power laser applications, especially with the platform IREPA Laser. A important part of the IPP team research activities is related to control and µ-processes involving high power lasers. These research is conducted in collaboration with this site want be able to go from the study of new physical phenomena to their valorization in industry.
Current works concern (development axis):
- control of laser processes (CLAD, embedded optical fiber),
- etching at sub-micron scale (µ-etching using femtosecond laser and photonic jet),
- laser surgery in coherence with the heathcare thematic,
- surface functionnalization by [Laser Micro-texturing|µ-texturing]] in coherence with the microscopy thematic.
Nos atouts sont :
- notre capacité de modéliser l’interaction multi-physique de la lumière avec la matière,
- la conception de composants optiques innovants,
- la caractérisation par des mesures in situ des procédés en cours.
- control devices and beam shaping
- surface functionalization methods
- new and low-cost methods of microstructuring
Research on the interaction between high power laser beams and materials aims to develop surface functionalization processes by laser and are based on a partnership with Irepa Laser.
The phenomena studied are of two types:
- The action of short-wavelength laser beams or short pulse duration on materials.
- The interaction between a continuous laser beam and a granular material in order to functionalize the material with a gradient of properties.
The process known as CLAD (Direct additive laser construction) was developed by Irepa laser with the collaboration of the IPP team and is now sold by the BEAM company. The process, whose industrial development was carried out by Irepa laser, consists of manufacturing or repairing metallic parts of high quality without size and weight limitations. The machine aims to become an indispensable tool of the future "FabLab". [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVrz3ia0_VI#t=14 video demo]
