Abstract
An apparatus and method for substantially interfacially adhering a suitable protective overcoat onto a receiving surface utilizes therein an optical lamination roller. The optical lamination roller is configured to be capable of substantially transmitting and concentrating optical radiation toward a protective overcoat. Irradiation of the protective overcoat in cooperation with compressive forces generated at the nip effectuate bonding between the protective overcoat and the receiving surface. The optical lamination system provides fast and energy efficient throughput with enhanced reliability of operation.
