The experimental apparatus is used to produce nanostructures and modify them. The system consists of two vacuum chambers and a laser with an optical system.
In the first chamber structures of any solid material can be made. It is evaporated by laser ablation by Nd: YAG pulsed laser of wavelength 266 nm (fourth harmonic).

Optical system used in PLD and PLA techniques as well as vacuum chamber

Experimental workstation for deposition of protective coatings and fast prototyping by laser cladding

The stand consists of:

• the technological CO2 laser MLT 2500 with numerically controlled XY-manipulator and Z-axis feeding control system equipped with infrared pyrometer detector,
• 3-stream water-cooled nozzle integrated into the laser head, which assures homogenous flow of metal powder, co-axial with the focusing optics. Two additional gas streams serve for shielding of the focusing lens and prevent the production of oxides and contaminations while processing.
