Why It Matters

Use Light To Change The Process Window.

Laser-assisted beam processing can change deposit composition, local reactions, and damage formation. Published examples include platinum-deposit purification, ion-damage mitigation, and graphene patterning. Results depend on the material, precursor chemistry, beam conditions, and laser exposure.
