Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V.

Presbyopia and astigmatism are widespread. To prevent the glasses from becoming unavoidable, the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) has developed a virtual eye model together with two project partners. With this, an eye surgery can be simulated. During the so-called fs-lentotomy, the lens of the eye is made more flexible again by generating microsections with a femtosecond laser. In fs-keratotomy, the astigmatism of the cornea is compensated by targeted cuts.

Can laser beam cutting underwater be used for efficient reactor dismantling? This question will be investigated by scientists of the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) within the scope of the AZULa project. In a feasibility study, they develop a laser beam cutting process and construct a compact cutting head for use in a radiologically activated and contaminated underwater environment.

As every year in the Advent season, more than 50 participants met on December 05^th, 2018 for the workshop "Laser Processing of Glass Materials". This year, the LZH opened its doors for the eighth edition of this event series that is jointly organized the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) and the Bayerische Laserzentrum GmbH (blz). The key topics included, among others, the additive and subtractive manufacturing of glass materials.
