Physical Interaction during laser processing of optical materials under consideration of technology methods for lens engraving

Introduction

Semi finished and especially Free Form Lenses require semi-visible laser engraving in order to edge the lenses accordingly. In the past mainly Excimer- and CO2 Lasers covered those tasks. A new DPSS UV concept merges highest engraving quality and a superior cost efficiency.
