At the LASYS this year, our product engineers will not only be available for questions and answers at booth 4C33, but we will also be hosting two interesting workshops on the first day of the trade show. The workshops will be free of charge; however, registration is required. Seats are limited, so register now to reserve a spot on June 5, 2018.

Diffractive Optics in Industrial Applications
For System Integrators: Theory and Practice in the Glass Processing and Photovoltaic Industry
Diffractive optical elements (DOEs) are used to shape and split laser beams. They are more efficient than complex free-beam assemblies; however, it is necessary to be familiar with the components’ properties in order to apply them correctly.
In our free workshop, Holo/OR – our partner and manufacturer of DOEs – will dispense theoretical knowledge before Edgewave – our industrial partner – shares their experience with concrete industrial applications. In keeping with the theme of the trade show, two application fields will be the focus of the workshop:
Cutting Glass
Multi-focus elements or elements with an elongated focus (elongated focus DOEs) are used to cut transparent materials. Shlomit Katz, product and development engineer at Holo/OR, will demonstrate the differences between and name the advantages and disadvantages of both elements. Dr. Shizhou Xiao will then demonstrate how Edgewave’s multi-focus elements can be integrated into the process.
Laser Ablation in Copper and Sapphire
Short pulse lasers are typically used to remove copper and sapphire. In the workshop, you will learn about the advantages of combining the standard method with a vortex element. Vortex elements convert and produce a spot that is shaped like a donut.
Prepare for a surprise and register today. Space is limited.
Processing of Optical Fibers
Splicing, Tapering, and more
It is hard to imagine modern laser and material processing technologies without optical fibers of all shapes and diameters: They are crucial for guiding laser light to the desired location. But to achieve this, they must be prepared by melting, joining and forming - with very high precision.Our workshop will give you an overview of which methods can be used to achieve which results and which tools are best suited for your purpose. Together with our partners 3SAE and Northlab Photonics we will present current trends and the latest developments. Let us surprise you!
Please note: The number of participants in the workshop is limited, therefore prior registration is required!
