Photon Factory µ-Machining Station

The Photon Factory µ-Machining capability is centered around the JPSA laser µ-machining platform. This is a highly reconfigurable system, specifically designed to be easily modified by the end user. This is what makes this commercially available system a valuable tool in the research environment of the University of Auckland. We currently have the capability to insert

• 248nm nanosecond pulses
• 800nm 100 femtosecond pulses

into the JPSA platform. This provides us with a very wide variety of processing options from direct, heat induced surface ablation, to nonlinear, multiphoton, super resolution volume alterations.
