European Growth Initiative

Next generation lasers

- network of national laser facilities - 1.25 billion euro

Romano Prodi, President of the European Commission

Press conference - Brussels, 11 November 2003

Areas: “… mobile communications and technologies; the Géant research network; the hydrogen economy; nanoelectronics; next generation lasers; the global monitoring for the environment and security (GMES) satellite network; and the Kourou launch facility …”

“These lasers will be crucial in areas like new materials, nanotechnologies, biotechnology and genomics”

The overall level of investment from now to 2010 amounts to- some €38 billion in key cross-border sections of the TEN transport network,- €10 billion in key TEN energy projects and- around €14 billion for projects linked to high-speed communications networks,

R&D and innovation.

ELOPELOP - EEuropean LLaser & OOptical PPlatform

The proposal has been aimed to the improvement of the cooperation between research institutions, universities and industry, as well as end-users and to support the organisation and development of the European Laser and Optical Platform.

April 2003: Coordination Action within the 6th Framework Program, 3-rd Thematic Priority (Nanotechnology and Nanoscience...)

-15 countries (4 candidate countries, 8 members state, 2 western balkan countries, 1 associated country) -30 participants (3 from Poland)-9 workpackages (Poland is the leader of WP7)

July 2003: UnfortunatelyUnfortunately the Commission has decided that no financialno financial support would be available for this proposal.

Now: New proposal is prepared ...

The idea of laser machining

in water stream LaMaWaM Z.Drozd - Warsaw University of Technology [email protected]

AdvantagesAdvantages of laser machining in a water stream:

·    No overheating

·    No oxidations

·    Good waste removal

·    Very limited structural defects

·    Focusing of laser beam is not necessary

DisadvantagesDisadvantages

·    Wetting of the machined material

·    Small force exerted by water jet on the machined material

· Wear of the nozzle of water jet
