The Passat UV picosecond lasers of the HELPP-UV family are used and proposed to be used in many applications. The most important among them are the following
[1-4]:

  • Photo-mask repair and ablation lithography. thin-film deposition.
  • Precise machining via micro- and nanoimaging, marking, selective surface cleaning.
  • Cutting thick layers of different materials, especially armor, glass, ceramics (thickness up to 10 mm).
  • Flat panel and liquid crystal display processing.
  • PV organic solar cell thin-film patterning with high (up to 50-nm) resolution.
  • Ultrahigh density 3D storage technology, transparent material modification and hologram recording.
  • Non-coherent and coherent EUV emitting sources.
  • High accuracy global and local positioning systems, high accuracy navigation.
  • Photo-ionization, LIBS , single and double photon laser induced fluorescence, time resolved spectroscopy.
  • Desorption, fragmentation and destruction of organic and bio-molecules.
  • Remote sensing of low concentration admixtures especially for distant detection of explosives and nuclear materials traces.
  • Precise eye-safe ranging, terrain profiling and 3D mapping of urban areas, security zone monitoring.
  • 3D imaging, fast landing and docking, vehicle collision protection.
  • Medical applications (dermatology, removal the plaques from arteries, etc.)
  • Inspection, flow measurement.
  • Basic research including Raman and CARS spectroscopies, OPO pumping, white light excitation, SRS and self-focusing in air.
