Laser induced forward transfer

摘要

In this paper,we demonstrate using laser induced forward transfer (LIFT) technology to deposit Ti/Ni alloy on a glass substrate with high precision.Here the photonic feature of laser energy is used to move the Ti/Ni particles forward and deposit them on the glass,while the wave feature of laser is used to turn part of the Ti/Ni particles into ions.The characteristics of deposited films and their relations with the processing conditions are studied.A new method of depositing materials using photons instead of electrons in electric field may bring about a series of new technologies on surface deposition,which can be used to produce shape memory alloys.
