Comparison of laser and intense pulsed light sintering (IPL) for inkjet-printed copper nanoparticle layers

Comparison of laser and intense pulsed light sintering (IPL) for inkjet-printed copper nanoparticle layers

In this contribution we discuss the sintering of an inkjet-printed copper nanoparticle ink based on electrical performance and microstructure analysis. Laser and intense pulsed light (IPL) sintering are employed in order to compare the different techniques and their feasibility for electronics manufacturing. A conductivity of more than 20% of that of bulk copper material has been obtained with ...

Intense pulsed light (IPL): a review.

BACKGROUND Intense pulsed light (IPL) devices use flashlamps and bandpass filters to emit polychromatic incoherent high-intensity pulsed light of determined wavelength spectrum, fluence, and pulse duration. Similar to lasers, the basic principle of IPL devices is a more or less selective thermal damage of the target. The combination of prescribed wavelengths, fluences, pulse durations, and puls...

Recommendation for laser and intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy in dermatology.

Measuring key parameters of intense pulsed light (IPL) devices.

BACKGROUND Unlike medical lasers, intense pulsed light (IPL) devices are largely unregulated and unclassified as to degree of safety hazard. With the exception of most of the USA, the United Kingdom and parts of Europe, the Far East and Australia, the sale of IPLs is generally unrestricted, with the majority being sold into the beauty therapy and spa markets. Standards are only imposed on manuf...

the use of intense pulsed light (ipl) for the treatment of vascular lesions

according to the english literature, various lasers and light sources (i,g. argon ion lasers, pulsed ktp lasers, diode lasers and nd:yag lasers, pulsed dye laser(pdl), intense pulsed light sources (ipls) are applicable for the treatment of different vascular lesions. these conditions are the most important indication for laser therapy. this review summarizes the current literature on ipl with r...
