Current technologies do not allow laser components to be
reused or devices to be refurbished without taking them apart. Integrated
Optics aims to improve micro-optics soldering technology so that lasers and
their components can be recycled and refurbished without dismantling. This will
help lower costs and make laser production and use more sustainable.
The project "Lazeriu Ziedas" focuses on making
laser refurbishment more efficient, as the current process uses a lot of
resources and limits the full potential of long-lasting
components. Integrated Optics will conduct research and development
(R&D) to enhance the MatchBox laser platform, keeping its strengths while
solving or reducing existing technical challenges to make the products more
reliable and durable.
The project will take place at Integrated Optics’ Klaipeda branch, which will become a key centre for recycling and repairing out-of-warranty lasers. New knowledge from experimentation and testing will be gathered and used for future development.
The project is funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).Project title | Lazeriu Ziedas |
