Laser Based Micromachining Facility
Laser micromachining is not only used in the scientific field but also has a high impact in industrial applications, such as: data recording for product traceability, brand identification, etc. Our lab presents the development of a system capable of analyzing any monochrome image and processing it in real time for micromachining on different materials based on a Nd:YAG laser with active Q-Switch, of our own design and construction. It has a graphical interface that is easy to use by the user from the computer and enables dimensional modification in image scale as well as the variation of different laser parameters.

Laser Kit for Teaching

Commecialized by
We designed a modular kit featuring all the solid-state components necessary to assemble a Nd:YAG laser. The kit can be used in undergraduate optics or optoelectronics laboratory courses for science and engineering students, or in a course for science teachers.
The solid-state laser is an end-pumped Nd:YAG or a Nd:YVO4 crystal with a 2W- laser-diode pumping source. Both these components, as well as the focusing optics, are designed as independent building blocks. This allows students to learn about how the introduction of each one modifies the radiant energy, as well as to get acquainted with its purpose in the overall system.
The kit offers ideas for seven different laboratory experiments once laser oscillation has been obtained. The experiments are written as broad guidelines, featuring a number of questions and hints, to encourage students to discover the answers on their own.
