Thin film cutting
A wide range of thin films are used in many different industries including display, automotive, EMS, lighting, and flexible packaging. In some cases the film may be mounted on glass, and must be kiss cut without damage to the substrate.
In other applications the film is unsupported, and must simply be cut cleanly, with minimal debris and HAZ. An AOM-integrated CO2 laser can bring a higher quality machined finish with less heat affected zone (HAZ) compared to a standard pulsed CO2 laser.
Luxinar’s SR AOM has a typical 2μs demand pulse shape that exhibits a ~350ns pulse rise time. This short rise/fall time helps to minimise HAZ which is ideal for cutting thin films such as polarization, projected capacitive and PDLCD.
