For RF applications, the shorter the wavelength, the greater the effect of geometric deviations on the board. The LPKF ProtoLaser R uses an ultrashort-pulse laser for particularly precise and gentle processing. “CuFlon” is the name of the high-performance base material offered by US company Polyflon for use in challenging RF applications. The dielectric material is a pure PTFE; the coating is produced in a separate process with precise coating thickness control. This combination yields high (...)

Air bearing helical drilling optics
The generation of micro holes in different materials with laser has become a well-established process in the industrial sector in recent years. The production of structures with exactly defined geometries is thereby gaining increasing importance. The process is typically realized by using special drilling optics, which deflect the laser beam by rotary motion to create the desired drilling geometry and size. Deficiencies in the beam profile play a minor role and can even be accounted for (...)
