HiLASE Centre scientists have broken a new world record

HiLASE Centre as a part of the Institute of Physics of the CAS has achieved the world record in the speed production of laser-induced periodic nanostructures on stainless steel surface. The Laser Micromachining team led by Peter Hauschwitz applied a concept of multi-beam processing of the record speed of 1909 cm2/min to create nanostructures on stainless steel.

The unique combination of HiLASE PERLA ultrashort high-energy pulsed laser system with exceptional beam quality and a novel Diffractive Optical Element (DOE) from the Israeli company HOLO/OR are core technologies behind this achievement.
