Can Quantum Laser Sintering Revolutionize 3D Printing?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a patented technology involving a "light engine" capable of multiplexing a single laser beam into millions of microlasers, which is linked to quantum principles. The original poster seeks clarification on how this technology operates effectively at 3kW. A forum member requests links to the patent and additional resources to better address the inquiry. The original poster provides a link to an article about the technology but notes that the patent has not yet been published. The conversation highlights interest in the potential implications of this technology for 3D printing.

Hi.
Me personally was touched by one patented technology "light engine with the ability to multiplex a single laser beam into several million microlasers". This technology use a sacral term "quantum".
I try to understand how it is possible with 3kW. Thank to yours ideas and attention.
Have a nice day,

Welcome to the PF. :smile:

Can you please post some links to the patent and to the other reading you have been doing about your question? That would help us out a lot in trying to reply to your questions. Thanks.
 
Thread 'A quartet of epi-illumination methods'
Well, it took almost 20 years (!!!), but I finally obtained a set of epi-phase microscope objectives (Zeiss). The principles of epi-phase contrast is nearly identical to transillumination phase contrast, but the phase ring is a 1/8 wave retarder rather than a 1/4 wave retarder (because with epi-illumination, the light passes through the ring twice). This method was popular only for a very short period of time before epi-DIC (differential interference contrast) became widely available. So...
I am currently undertaking a research internship where I am modelling the heating of silicon wafers with a 515 nm femtosecond laser. In order to increase the absorption of the laser into the oxide layer on top of the wafer it was suggested we use gold nanoparticles. I was tasked with modelling the optical properties of a 5nm gold nanoparticle, in particular the absorption cross section, using COMSOL Multiphysics. My model seems to be getting correct values for the absorption coefficient and...
