LUMERA LASER GmbH develops and manufactures picosecond lasers (ps-lasers)  for micro-processing.
These ultra-short pulse lasers offer a new quality in laser micromachining by cold ablation, a cold removal
of very thin material layers, nearly without any thermal side-effects like burrs and micro-cracks. These ps-
lasers allow to micro-structure any material, also materials, that are very difficult to process by mechanical
means. Industrial picosecond lasers are universal tools for micro-processing without mechanical force,
without wear and tear and without thermal damages. To the work piece; they are completely software
controlled and easy to integrate in industrial units. They are flexible, cost-effective and reliable. These
ultrafast lasers interact with material in micromachining applications very similar as femtosecond
lasers do; but with much higher average power, higher rep rates, higher throughput, higher reliability
but with a fraction of cost.

Industrial picosecond laser (ps-lasers) are used for micro-structuring surfaces, to micro-cut and micro drill thin
materials up to a few millimeters thickness with aspect ratios up to about 1 to 10.

Applications include the manufacture of steel-masks for the display industry, micro-structuring semicon
and solar cell layers, repair of lithographic masks, manufacture of micro-vias and micro-markings, the
structuring of material surfaces to change their properties, (e.g., reduction of friction).

The product program of LUMERA includes industrial picosecond laser (ps-lasers) of the RAPID series.
 The SUPER RAPID and the HYPER RAPID are ps-lasers with additional amplifiers, for pulse energies up
to 200 µJ, pulse rates up to 1 MHz, and up to 50 W average power at excellent beam quality.
