2012年获德国亚琛国际激光技术大会激光技术创新团体一等奖

2012年5月9日, 在德国亚琛市的市政大厅,德国亚琛激光技术协会和欧洲激光技术研究会为项目„高功率超短脉冲激光应用于印刷滚筒上大面积三维微结构构成 „(„Dreidimensionale Mikrostrukturierung von großen Oberflächen für Druck- und Präge-Anwendungen mit Hochleistungs-Ultrakurzpuls-Lasern“)的团队颁发了2012年度的 激光技术创新一等奖。
EdgeWave参与了这个联邦科技部的项目。作为获奖成员之一,EdgeWave成功地完成项目里的100瓦和400瓦皮秒InnoSlab放大器

The Innovation Award Laser Technology 2012, initiated by the associations Arbeitskreis Lasertechnik e.V. and the European Laser Institue ELI and provided with 10000 Euros prize money, has been conferred to Dr. Stephan Brüning on May 9, 2012 in Aachen’s town hall.  He and his team have applied to the open call for proposals with the innovation „3D micro-structuring of large scale metal surfaces for embossing and printing applications with high power ultrashort pulse-lasers“, which has been developed in a cooperation project “PIKOFLAT” sponsored by BMBF.

In frame work of the cooperation project EdgeWave GmbH developed a high-power InnoSlab-amplifier for ps-laser and created two demonstrators – 100W and 400W,  which were supplied to the project partner Schepers for process and system development.

The trophy for the prize winner and the certificates for Dr. Brüning and the rest of the „PIKOFLAT“-Team were handed over by Dipl.-Ing. Ulrich Berners, president of the Arbeitskreis Lasertechnik AKL e.V. and Stepfan Kaierle, president of the European Laser Institute ELI.
