Presented at PICALO 2006
Smooth void dots and void channels have been generated efficiently in some low refractive index materials such as polymers and glasses by use of a femtosecond laser induced microexplosion method and have been used to fabricate 3D photonic crystals. In order to get complete bandgap, a high refractive index material need to be used. Lithium niobate (LiNbO3) crystal is a good candidate because o...$28.00

Presented at PICALO 2006
Periodically poled materials continue to be of great interest due to their applications in both bulk nonlinear optics and all-optical processing systems. Many groups continue to explore alternative techniques to lithographic surface electrodes for defining the domain pattern. The key objectives of these studies are to reduce the minimum domain size, produce uniformity in the domain structures and improve the cost effectiveness and speed of fabrication. We report progress on an...$28.00

We report two methods of fabricating waveguides in photosensitive Ag+ doped Foturan glass by femtosecond (fs) laser writing and subsequent annealing. The first method, which involved writing at laser energy higher than the optical breakdown threshold, resulted in microstructural changes and a refractive index increase. In contrast, the ...$28.00

Laser Beam Micro-Welding with Single Mode Fibre Lasers

Florian Wagner, BIAS Bremer Institut Fuer Angewandte Strahltechnik; Bremen Germany

Presented at PICALO 2006
Single mode fibre lasers enable the welding of thin sheet materials. Although laser power is comparably low, the excellent beam quality of M2 < 1,1 provides intensities sufficient for keyhole welding. Especially for micro-fabrication, it is now possible to weld at considerable processing speed of 100 m/min and more, whilst heat input and thus distortion is minimized. Moreover, the weld pool and thus weld geometry is very narrow, consequently reducing the risk of weld imperfections due...$28.00

A Process Study of Laser Micro-Drilling Vias for Wafer Level Chip Scale Packaging
Authors:
Hong Yu Zheng, Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology; Singapore
Presented at PICALO 2006
Along with the trends of the product minimization, wafer level chip scale package (WLCSP) has become a new solution to advanced packaging. Formation of micro-vias with desired patterns is a critical process step. Currently micro-vias are achieved through photolithographic technology, which is lengthy, time-consuming and costly. In order to improve the productivity and reduce the cost of the via formation process, it is critical to develop a simpler and more cost-effective drilling technology. The successfu...$28.00

Presented at PICALO 2006
Micro fluidic devices are widely used as typical micro devices and they have many applications in clinical diagnostics, drug delivery and micro electronics cooling. A micro replication process can be used for fabricating micro fluidic devices and a laser replication process using glass-ceramics and polymers is investigated in this work. This process is based on the micro stamping replication process, also referred to as hot embossing lithography. A glass-ceramic m...$28.00

Presented at PICALO 2006
Majority of applications in electronics, medical devices industry requires micro joining of dissimilar materials. In principle, a laser can weld any material, which can be joined by conventional processes. In the welding of dissimilar metals, good solid solubility is essential for sound weld properties. The trends of joining dissimilar metals and miniaturisation of components are offering high challenges for welding methods. The weldability of dissimilar metals depends on many different factors. The physical properties have a high influence on the...$28.00
