Laser processing of materials, once largely curiosity driven, is now an established technology for micromachining, thin film synthesis, device packaging, rapid prototyping, and even nanoscale synthesis and processing of materials. The main driving force behind these developments is the seemingly limitless adaptability of lasers in providing unique material processing solutions, manufacturing of otherwise unattainable devices and structures, and the implementation of cost- effective solutions to complex manufacturing processes. The use ...
Symposium LL, "Rapid Prototyping Technologies," was held December 3-5 at the 2002 MRS Fall Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts. The symposium highlighted a broad range of international research activities in the areas of direct-write (DW), solid freeform (SFF) and microstereolithography (MSL). Five sessions were held, covering layered manufacturing and laser sintering, solution and spray processing, direct-write of microelectronics, nanoscale rapid prototyping, and biological tissue engineering and biomedical applications. In total thirty-five ...
This proceedings contains papers on the following topics: Laser processing, pulsed laser deposition, Surface and thin film treatments, Laser ablation, Laser-matter interaction, Machining and microstructuring, Microsystems and microdevices.
One of the major issues revolving around high temperature superconducting (HTS) microwave technology is that, while researchers have applied it to components of various systems, far fewer integrated systems have been designed; such integrated designs are essential for HTS technology to be successfully implemented for practical applications. A variety of HTS microwave components (such as filters and delay lines) have been demonstrated that perform better, weigh less, and occupy less ...
