Cutting Ultra-Thin Glasses

Cutting of ultra-thin glasses is interesting for a wide range of applications, ranging from touch screens and medical devices up to multiple uses in the automotive industry. The LZH now works together with Cailabs, a French deeptech company, to develop new laser-cutting and drilling processes for transparent materials. Read more ...
Recommended by 100 percent: Niedersachsen-Technikum at the LZH

After six months at the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH), one thing is certain for Tabea Karg and Linda Thies: they would recommend the Niedersachsen-Technikum to all high school graduates with an interest in the STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics). Read more ...
New fiber components improve industrial manufacturing

Making production processes more flexible and efficient: In the BMBF project PROLASE, the LZH developed long-term stable and cost-effective fiber components for the reliable dissipation of high optical power losses. Read more ...
Voluntary Scientific Year at the LZH increasingly popular

More and more high school graduates are applying for a Voluntary Scientific Year (FWJ) at the LZH. Nine successful applicants are actively involved in LZH projects until the end of August 2019 - for example, in the field of optical systems for space. Read more ...

Laser processing is a matter for the head – LZH at the Hannover Messe 2019

Industry 4.0 requires processes that integrate into existing production environments: customer-specific, system-technical solutions are in demand. By way of selected laser processing heads, the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) will be presenting individual comprehensive solutions for processes and systems for laser material processing at the Hannover Messe 2019.

Correcting presbyopia with the laser

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.

Efficient reactor dismantling by laser beam cutting?

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.
