SUMMARY:Lasers drive the Green Economy towards Net Zero
DESCRIPTION:Introduction\nChair:  Matthew Wasley\, Photonics Lead\, KTN \n  \nClimate change is one of the most serious and urgent global issues facing our world in the 21st century. During global lockdowns in 2020 and 2021\, the impact on pollution and emissions under drastically lower transport has driven a new emphasis and urgency into tackling this topic and governments are talking about “building back better”. Glasgow will be the host city for COP26 (the UN Climate Change Conference) in November 2021\, and the UK government recently announced it will set in law an ambitious climate change target\, reducing emissions by 78% by 2035 compared to 1990 levels. This is intended to bring the UK more than three-quarters of the way to net zero (when the amount of CO2 produced is no greater than the amount removed) by 2050. \nTo meet these targets\, the UK will need to increase its low carbon electricity generation capacity by a factor of four. This in turn requires further development of efficient renewable energy sources such as solar and wind\, and the use of battery technology in place of fossil fuels. New research and innovation is addressing some of these challenges and funding and jobs will certainly follow in these industries over the next decades. Lasers have a big role to play in this arena\, from laser processing of materials for photovoltaics\, to manufacture of specialist batteries\, wind turbine elements\, new nuclear power generation and more. \nThis webinar will highlight the challenges faced and explore the variety of applications of lasers in renewable energy\, green transportation and the role the industry has to play in meeting net zero. \n  \nSponsored by\n \n  \n  \n  \nProgramme\n13:30 – 16:30 BST \n13:30 – 13:40  Matthew Wasley (Photonics Lead\, KTN) – Introduction and Welcome \n13:40 – 14:00  Michael Walls (Loughborough University) – Technology and Market Trends in Solar Photovoltaics \n14:00 – 14:20  Grigorios Rigas (M-Solv) – Interconnecting Perovskite PVs in one Step \n14:20 – 14:40  Melanie Loveridge (Warwick University) – Laser Applications for Li-ion Batteries & prospects for Large-scale Manufacturing \n14:40 – 15:00  Patrick Herwig (Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology\, IWS) – Latest Developments on Laser Material Processing for Battery Production \n15:00 – 15:10 BREAK \n15:10 – 15:30  Wilhelm Pfleging (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)) – Ultrafast laser materials processing as a versatile manufacturing tool for developing next generation batteries \n15:30 – 15:50  Clive Grafton-Reed (Rolls Royce) – The Demands for Greener Aviation \n15:50 – 16:10  PJ Scott (IPG Genesis Systems) – Automated Laser Welding Systems for Safe and Reliable EV Battery Manufacturing \n16:10 – 16:30  Phil Carr (Carrs Welding) – How Laser Welding of Li-ion Cells has Changed over the Last Decade: Cells\, Joints & Interlinks \n\nVenue\nOnline webinar \n  \nRegistration\nAILU Member rate:  60 GBP \nNon Member rate: 90 GBP \nAbove fees exclude VAT @ 20% \n  \nTICKET INFORMATION BELOW\nFee includes access to webinar videos after the event. \nFor more information please email or phone the AILU office (+44 (0)1235 539595). \n  \nAILU EVENT T&Cs\nSee AILU Event Terms and Conditions here.\n____________________________________\nBy registering for this meeting you agree that you are happy for AILU and Sponsors to contact you after the event

SUMMARY:Applications for Micro and Nano Material Processing with Lasers
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by\n\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nChair: Jack Gabzdyl\, SPI Lasers \nIntroduction\nMuch progress has been made over the past decade in the commercial success of ultrashort pulse lasers (pico and femto) as well as shorter wavelength lasers (green and UV). Fibre laser technology has made these sources more reliable and more cost-effective. At the same time a number of micromachining\, surface engineering and cold micro cutting applications are being used in mass production. The global market for ultrashort laser systems significantly exceeds USD 1 Billion and the number of units installed annually is now between 3\,000 and 5\,000 units per year. \nModern ultrashort pulse lasers have high average power and very high repetition rates\, providing unique challenges for beam delivery – to deliver millions of pulses per second over a large area requires very fast and accurate scanning and beam imaging technologies. \nWhether in the area of additive or subtractive material processing\, systems and source prices are falling rapidly due to overcapacity of manufacture and efficiencies of scale. Simultaneously feature sizes continue to get smaller and are moving from micro to nano scale. \nThis webinar will bring you up to speed on the latest applications\, sources and beam delivery solutions for processing a wide range of materials from metals to ceramics\, polymers to glass. The webinar will be delivered using Zoom and delegates unable to attend live will be able to access a video of the sessions after the event. To facilitate concentration and delegate comfort\, the webinar is spread over 2 days. \n  \nProgramme\nDay 1 – 7 October 2020 13:30 PM – 16:30 PM (BST)  Sponsored by SPI Lasers \nSession 1 – 13:30 – 15:00 \nWelcome  Jack Gabzdyl  SPI Lasers \nUltra fast laser processing of high temperature superconductors  Bill O’Neill  Cambridge University \nMultibeam UV picosecond processing of PZT  Dimitris Karnakis  Oxford Lasers \nPrecision glass welding with hollow-core-fiber delivery of femtosecond laser pulses  Ulf Quentin   TRUMPF \nQ&A \nBreak \nSession 2 15:00 – 16:30  Sponsored by Aerotech \nHigh throughput femtosecond laser processing  Eric Mottay  Amplitude Laser \nTHz devices: ultra-fast laser micro structuring as enabling technology for their manufacture  Pavel Penchev  University of Birmingham                  \nLaser Microprocessing Through 5-Axis Scan Head Coordination with Servo Stages  William Land  Aerotech \nQ&A \n  \nDay 2 – 8 October 2020 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM (BST)  \nSession 3 – 09:30 – 11:10  Sponsored by 3D Micromac \nDirect Laser Interference Patterning: new ideas and concepts for high-throughput processing  Andres-Fabian Lasagni   Fraunhofer IWS \nRoll-to-roll laser processing of flexible devices  Ronny Neubert 3D-Micromac \nHigh throughput scanning for ultrafast lasers Lars Penning  Next Scan Technology \nQ&A \nBreak \nSession 4 – 11:10 – 12:20  Sponsored by Cailabs \nMulti-Plane Light Conversion-based beam shaping for laser microprocessing Pu Jian  Cailabs  \nLaser surface engineering for biological applications David Waugh  Coventry University \nHigh throughput\, high quality laser engraving  Stephen Dondieu  Heriot Watt University \n  \nVenue\nOnline \n  \nRegistration\nAILU Member fees:\nComplete Webinar (all sessions 7th and 8th October)  60 GBP \nNon Member fees\nComplete Webinar ( all sessions 7th and 8th October)  90 GBP \nAbove fees exclude VAT @ 20% \n  \nFee includes access to webinar videos after the event. \nFor more information please email or phone the AILU office (+44 (0)1235 539595). \n  \nAILU EVENT T&Cs\nSee AILU Event Terms and Conditions here.\n____________________________________\nBy registering for this meeting you agree that you are happy for AILU and Sponsors to contact you after the event

SUMMARY:E-Mobility Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by\n\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n \n  \nIntroduction\nWorkshop Chair:  \nPaola de Bono (TWI Ltd) \nThe world of transport is undergoing the biggest change since the early 20th Century\, focusing on a rapid move towards electric vehicle (EV) production and the parallel reduction in petrol-powered vehicles. Highly demanding new emissions targets have been set by Government policy\, aiming to meet net-zero emissions by 2050. \nAdvancements to e-mobility technologies have been made\, however\, before we can reach the point where electrification becomes the norm\, there are a number of challenges for industry to overcome. These include light-weighting of components\, process improvements\, welding developments\, real-time quality assurance in-production\, safety\, flexible tools and jigs\, and prototyping from components through complete vehicles. \nLaser technology has been adopted by the automotive sector\, principally for its ability to perform high-quality and high-precision processing at high speed\, and at low relative cost. In recent years several advancements have been made in laser technology which have the potential of making an important contribution\, and thus\, supporting the breakthrough of e-mobility. \nThis workshop will include presentations from equipment-providers\, end-users\, academic and industrial researchers in the e-mobility field.
