Learning Outcomes
Competences
After successful completion of the course, students are able to explain basic principles of the influence of laser radiation on matter, specifically in relation to industrial, medical and scientific applications.
Skills Knowledge
Upon completing the course, students learn the following skills. They are able to

  • describe the physical and technical fundamentals of lasers and explain their differences (k1-k3);
  • explain and analyze the physical and technical fundamentals of laser-matter interactions (k1-k4);
  • select and evaluate suitable laser processes for industrial, medical and scientific applications (k3-k5).
During the course, students acquire knowledge in the following areas of laser processing:

  • physics and technology of lasers;
  • laser drilling, cutting, welding and marking;
  • laser-induced temperature increases in matter, melting, vaporization;
  • ablation with short-pulse and ultrashort-pulse lasers;
  • special laser applications;
  • introductory knowledge of lasers in medicine.
