A method of furnishing a substrate with a patterned film of electrode material making use of a laser beam, whereby a stack is made by providing a surface of the substrate at least with a layer of an assistant material and an overlying layer of the said electrode material, the assistant material being capable of decomposition upon heating with the aid of the said laser beam, subsequent to which the stack is, in accordance with a desired pattern, locally irradiated with the laser beam so as to heat the assistant material to at least its decomposition temperature, consequent upon which the locally overlying electrode material is caused to detach.

Laser etching method

The invention relates to a method of electrically and mechanically connected to a hook-shaped element of an electrically conductive supporting body. The conductor wire, which comprises an electrically conductive core and a sheath of an insulating material, is introduced into the open hook-shaped element after which a radiation beam is aimed at the conductor wire, for example, to ablate the insulating sheath by heating. After this the conductive core of the conductor wire is clamped in the hook-shaped element by cold deformation of the hook-shaped element.

A device for working a workpiece by means of laser light includes a laser, a beamsplitter for splitting the laserbeam into at least two sub-laserbeams of substantially identical intensities, and a control unit which controls the light intensity of the laser and the movement of a workpiece support and the laserbeam relative to each other. The beamsplitter includes at least one digital-phase grating which divides the laserbeam into a plurality of sub-laserbeams to produce a pattern of laser spots onto the workpiece.

A flat type optical cable comprises parallelly extending optical fibers which are interconnected by a light-cured lacquer of acrylic acid asters. The lacquer is present only on the facing circumferential parts of the optical fibers.

Method of bonding optical fibers to form a flat cable

A flat type optical cable comprises parallelly extending optical fibers which are interconnected by a light-cured lacquer of acrylic acid esters. The lacquer is present only on the facing circumferential parts of the optical fibers.
