Welcome to the LZH

On June 20, 1986 the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) was founded under the patronage of the German State Ministry of Trade, Industry, Technology, and Transportation in Lower Saxony. Our main task is to support applied research in laser technology on a non-profit basis. The LZH is involved in:

  • R&D projects in the field of laser development and laser applications
  • Technical and scientific consulting to link research and practice
  • Industry-oriented training of experts for applying and operating laser systems

Through the close cooperation between production engineers, material scientists, and physicists we find interdisciplinary solutions for all fields of laser applications.

LZH-Nanoparticles on the Rise: International Conference ANGEL 2010 and Exhibition in the Deutsche Museum

 19.01.2010

The Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) is coming out big in 2010 with ultrapure nanoparticles for medical applications. One example are LZH nanoparticle exponants that can currently be seen at the new “Center for New Technologies” (ZNT) at the Deutsche Museum in Munich. Also, in 2010 the LZH will host the first international conference on the generation of ultrapure nanoparticles.

Eco-Friendly: Lead-Free Joining of Electronic Components

15.12.2009

The goal of a new research project at the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) is to weld electronic components for televisions, cell phones, computers etc. quickly, easily and lead-free onto printed circuit boards. To accomplish this, a “two-laser-solution” is being used. A green laser with low output power ensures optimal and repeatable process conditions, while an infrared laser with higher output power is used to actually weld the components. Since components are welded and not soldered, lead-based soldering material is not needed.

New Chance for the Deaf and Hearing Impaired: LZH Improves Inner Ear Implants

 10.12.2009

A new micro-structuring process for the surface of cochlear implants is being developed at the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) in cooperation with the ear-nose-throat clinic of the HannoverMedicalSchool (MHH). This structuring process aims at improving the function of these inner ear implants and thereby increase the hearing ability of people who are deaf or hearing impaired.

First Hand from Second Hand: New Clothes from Old

 04.12.2009

Used clothes are collected in all major European countries, but what really happens to these textiles? About half are wearable and find their way back into consumer textiles. The other half are either recycled for industrial purposed, for example as insulation material, or they are disposed of. A new European project plans on offering an alternative: Making new clothes from old clothes.
