Research Institute precious stones and precious metals FEE
herring: 200,000 € for developing laser crystals in Idar-Oberstein
Mainz. 12. October 2010. (Red). In order to make production in Germany, efficiently, fast and accurate machining is required: Industrial welding is faster and more accurately than previously done - and the same competitive Costs. For laser manufacturers, this means to penetrate with their lasers into ever higher performance regions.
But can the power of a laser can not be increased at will: The "heart" - the laser crystal - one of today's laser is now the required output classes and the associated high thermal stresses hardly grown. Maximum conductor crystals, which absorb such pressures, however, have melting temperatures of 2,500 ° C and are therefore not exploitable with normal crystal growth. enable
order to help companies of laser technology from Rhineland-Palatinate access to, a maximum line crystals, at the Research Institute Precious stones and precious metals in FEE Idar-Oberstein built a high-temperature crystal growth.
Minister Hendrik Hering undertook the research institute is now a grant of up to 200,000 €. "With the development of high-temperature breeding we make the FEE fit for research and development at the crystal generation of the future. So the conditions for the participation of the fee in national and international research networks to be created. Laser crystals of the class will continue to come from Idar-Oberstein. "Resources from the country for this to be a powerful medium frequency generator for the heating of large rhenium-crucibles, uninterrupted Power supply and a cooling tower procured.
