Delft Sirius Laser Facility
-
Research and innovation of advanced aerospace, automotive and semiconductors materials.
-
Sirius 1000 Laser is a 1 kW excimer laser, which generates 1 J pulses at an optical wavelength of 308 nm. The pulse length is 200 ns and the maximum energy density is greater than 5 Jcm-2. The laser has a very good beam profile over a 28 mm beam diameter. The laser was developed for laser drilling and surface modification of materials.
-
The Delft Sirius Laser Facility is open for commercial and research activities. The laser can drill many types of materials, including composites and metals, with hole sizes are in the range 10 µm to 1 mm. The power and beam profile are adjustable for material modification and drilling of sample hole patterns across samples up to 500 mm length, later to be extended to 2 m.
