Laser drilling of micro-holes in single crystal silicon, indium phosphide and indium antimonide using a continuous wave (CW) 1070 nm fibre laser with millisecond pulse widths (2018)
Journal Article

The laser micro-drilling of “thru” holes, also known as via holes, in Si, InP and InSb semiconductor wafers was studied using millisecond pulse lengths from an IPG Laser Model YLR-2000 CW multimode 2 kW Ytterbium Fibre Laser and a JK400 (400 W) fibre...

The role of a thermally sprayed CuNiIn underlayer in the durability of a dry-film lubricant system in fretting: a phenomenological model (2018)
Journal Article

Dry film lubricant coatings (DFL) are employed to reduce friction and damage in highly loaded contacts. Metallic underlayers, e.g. CuNiIn, can be beneficial however, there is no detailed explanation of the mechanism. This work investigates the effect...

An investigation into whether the laser drilling capabilities of a 2kW fibre laser can be enhanced using pulse train shaping (2018)
Journal Article

In long, ms, pulsed melt ejected based laser drilling of metals pulse train shaping has previously improved drilling efficiency. This work investigates if pulse train shaping can be exploited in the laser drilling of 0.8-2 mm mild steel with a 1070 n...

Laser drilling of microholes in single crystal silicon using continuous wave (CW) 1070 nm fiber lasers with millisecond pulse widths (2018)
Journal Article

The laser microdrilling of via holes in Si semiconductor wafers was studied using 1 ms pulses from an Yb fibre laser with 1070 nm wavelength. Optical microscopy and cross‑sectional analysis were used to quantify hole dimensions, the distribution of r...
