• ITMO Researchers Suggest Model to Predict Parameters of Laser Metal Transfer Onto Glass

  Scientists from ITMO University have developed a physical and mathematical model to predict the parameters of laser metal ablation onto a transparent substrate. Apart from providing a detailed model of the physical process, the new tool can predict its key parameters with a 90% accuracy. This opens up possibilities for the controlled creation of metallic coatings with micron-level resolution on glass, such as indelible protective marks and decorative elements. The results of this Russian Science Foundation-supported study were published in International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer.

• ITMO Scientists Discover Simple and Cheap Laser Metallization Method for Almost Any Surface

  A team of researchers from Russia, China, and Germany has designed a brand-new method to laser metallize practically all sorts of surfaces, including curved ones. The study demonstrated how to use a laser to create a metal pattern on glass, polydimethylsiloxane, polyimide, and other materials. The developed technology will make producing and repairing printed circuit boards and microelectronic elements faster, cheaper, and easier. The results of the study were published in Advanced Engineering Materials.

• ITMO Researchers Use Hybrid Crystal to Enable Simultaneous Grayscale and Color Direct Laser Writing

  With the new material suggested by ITMO physicists, it will be possible to embed grayscale images into color ones during direct laser writing. The researchers were the first to use metal-organic frameworks for the purpose; these are optically transparent materials that can transform laser radiation. When subjected to it, the material’s structure changes, with color defects formed inside. Each such defect has a unique scattering spectrum, making metal-organic frameworks useful in producing uncloneable anti-counterfeit trademarks. The material is described in a paper published in Advanced Functional Materials.

• ITMO Solution Prevents Counterfeiting of Glass Products

  Researchers from ITMO University have suggested a method of creating colored patterns with an affordable, domestically-produced laser. Compared to others, the new method makes it possible to create smaller separate patterns within a single bigger one, which are harder to forge. The technology, described in an article published in Optics and Laser Technology, will help prevent production of counterfeit glass products, such as medical vials and test tubes.

• ITMO Researchers Find Way to Make Packaging Cheap, Easy to Apply

  Color laser marking is a technology that helps brands protect their products by applying unique QR codes and barcodes. While the method is good at fighting counterfeiting, the process itself is rather complicated and time-consuming. But with the technology suggested by scientists from ITMO University, manufacturers can produce protective labels for a range of products, including jewelry and optical devices, in just two seconds with no expensive equipment needed. The results of the study were published in Materials Letters.
