About LIFT project
| Project: | LIFT - Leadership in Fibre Laser Technology |
| Funding: | EU, FP7-NMP-2008-LARGE-2 |
| Contact: | Jyrki Latokartano |
| Time schedule: | 1.9.2009 - 30.9.2013 |
|
The 16 Million Euro project will expand the limits of advanced materials processing applications through a new generation of high-brilliance fibre-based lasers. The consortium will develop innovative laser sources with intelligent beam delivery systems and dynamic beam manipulation, in continuous-wave, nanosecond pulsed, and ultra-short pulsed femtosecond laser sources, operating at power levels ranging into the kilowatt regime. |
|
| LIFT demonstrations will show the potential of this technology in domains where there are large existing markets such as high-speed remote cutting and welding, medical diagnostics and treatment, TFT patterning or where there are large potential markets such as solar cell fabrication and cold ablation for ceramics manufacturing. | |
