Title: Innovations of Nicholas J Croglio
Introduction
Nicholas J Croglio is a notable inventor based in Scottsdale, AZ. He has made significant contributions to the field of laser technology, particularly in the area of beam shaping and projection imaging. With a total of 2 patents, Croglio's work has advanced the capabilities of laser systems in various applications.
Latest Patents
One of Croglio's latest patents focuses on beam shaping and projection imaging with a solid-state UV Gaussian beam to form vias. This innovative diode-pumped, solid-state laser system provides ultraviolet Gaussian output that is converted by a diffractive optical element into shaped output with a uniform irradiance profile. A high percentage of this shaped output is focused through an aperture of a mask to provide imaged shaped output. The laser system facilitates a method for increasing the throughput of a via drilling process, offering advantages over traditional clipped Gaussian laser systems. This method is particularly beneficial for drilling blind vias, resulting in improved edge, bottom, and taper qualities. An alternative laser system employs a pair of beam diverting galvanometer mirrors to direct the Gaussian output around a shaped imaging system, providing users with the option of using either a Gaussian output or an imaged shaped output.
