The consecutive integration of more complex functions into a single and compact chip demands on multilayer systems. As the classical production using a stacking and joining of single processed layers is elaborate and limited in terms of multilayer structures, an uprising trend to fabricate those devices is the internal, three dimensional processing of transparent substrates by using ultrashort laser pulses. In this study, we report on the generation of internal hollow architectures created by focused 514nm femtosecond laser pulses inside optical polymer bulk materials of different polymers. The three-dimensional channel layout is implemented by moving the sample using three-dimensional motorized stages, allowing arbitrary complex shaped internal channel architectures. Size and cross sectional shape of a single internal generated microchannel are determined by the intensity distribution of the focal voxel. In particular, we show a comprehensive parameter study to improve this laser process with respect to a higher processing speed and stability.}, subject = {Femtosekundenlaser}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{RothWolfEsenetal.2019, author = {Roth, Gian-Luca and Wolf, Bastian and Esen, Cemal and Hellmann, Ralf}, title = {Generation of internal 3D microfluidic architectures in polymers by fs laser processing}, series = {Lasers in Manufacturing 2019}, booktitle = {Lasers in Manufacturing 2019}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Microfluidic lab on chip systems require components to transport, mix, separate and analyse small volumes of different fluids. In this study, we report on the laser generation of internal hollow architectures created by focused 514 nm femtosecond laser pulses inside PMMA bulk material. Size and cross-sectional shape of a single internal generated microchannel are determined by the intensity distribution inside the focal voxel and can be controlled either by the numerical aperture of the focusing objective or by laser beam shaping. As both approaches are practically limited with respect to the realizable cross-sectional shapes, we present a process based on an internal hatching to expand the achievable channel cross-sections and thereby enable the possibility to create complex 3D shaped internal structures. This process is applied to create fully internal functional microfluidic elements such as mixers which are part of most polymer lab-on-chip systems.}, subject = {Femtosekundenlaser}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchwarzRungEsenetal.2020, author = {Schwarz, Simon and Rung, Stefan and Esen, Cemal and Hellmann, Ralf}, title = {Manufacturing of optical elements by non-contact laser processing}, series = {Seventh European Seminar on Precision Optics Manufacturing, Proceedings}, booktitle = {Seventh European Seminar on Precision Optics Manufacturing, Proceedings}, number = {11478}, year = {2020}, subject = {Laserbearbeitung}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchwarzRungEsenetal.2020, author = {Schwarz, Simon and Rung, Stefan and Esen, Cemal and Hellmann, Ralf}, title = {All laser-based fabrication of optical elements}, series = {Proceedings of SPIE 11270, Frontiers in Ultrafast Optics: Biomedical, Scientific, and Industrial Applications XX}, booktitle = {Proceedings of SPIE 11270, Frontiers in Ultrafast Optics: Biomedical, Scientific, and Industrial Applications XX}, year = {2020}, subject = {Ultrakurzzeitlaser}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{SchwarzEsenHellmann2018, author = {Schwarz, Simon and Esen, Cemal and Hellmann, Ralf}, title = {CO2 laser polishing of femtosecond shaped micro-optical components}, series = {3rd Conference on Laser Polishing LaP 2018}, booktitle = {3rd Conference on Laser Polishing LaP 2018}, year = {2018}, subject = {Kohlendioxidlaser}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchwarzRungEsenetal.2018, author = {Schwarz, Simon and Rung, Stefan and Esen, Cemal and Hellmann, Ralf}, title = {Axicon fabrication with ultrashort and CO2 laser}, series = {LPM2018 The 19th International Symposium on Laser Precision Microfabrication}, booktitle = {LPM2018 The 19th International Symposium on Laser Precision Microfabrication}, year = {2018}, subject = {Ultrakurzzeitlaser}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{SchwarzEsenHellmann2018, author = {Schwarz, Simon and Esen, Cemal and Hellmann, Ralf}, title = {Homogeneous low spatial frequency LIPSS on dielectrics generated by beam-shaped femtosecond pulsed laser irradiation}, series = {LPM2018 The 19th International Symposium on Laser Precision Microfabrication}, booktitle = {LPM2018 The 19th International Symposium on Laser Precision Microfabrication}, year = {2018}, subject = {Femtosekundenlaser}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BischoffEsenHellmann2023, author = {Bischoff, Kay and Esen, Cemal and Hellmann, Ralf}, title = {Acceleration of Femtosecond Reductive Laser Sintering of Copper(II) Oxide for Conductive Copper Patterns on Cyclic Olefin Copolymers}, series = {International Congress on Applications of Lasers \& Electro-Optics (ICALEO) 2023}, booktitle = {International Congress on Applications of Lasers \& Electro-Optics (ICALEO) 2023}, year = {2023}, abstract = {We report on the acceleration of femtosecond reductive laser sintering of copper (II) oxide on the surface of transparent cyclic olefin copolymers (COC) by varying the focus size to generate metallic copper (Cu) layers. By using different focusing conditions, different process speeds are achieved, and the structural accuracies are controlled. The formation of Cu lines is observed for different focus sizes at various scan speeds, which is attributed to laser exposure duration and chemical reaction time. The formed lines are categorized and measured by optical microscopy and provide the basis for two-dimensional Cu surfaces. By hatching, high quality conductive films are produced with an increased focus diameter of up to 400 µm at a scan speed of 400 mm/s and a hatch distance of 250 µm resulting in a multiple increased process speed by a factor of thirteen compared to previous research. Using 4-tip measurement , a low sheet resistance of 0.165 Ω/sq was validated on these Cu films, which have an atomic Cu content of 89.5\%.}, subject = {Femtosekundenlaser}, language = {en} }
