Advanced Portable Multi-Laser Processing System.

With the development of a portable multi-wavelength laser processing system, cleaning, cutting, joining, polishing, and cladding processes as well as the capability to produce unique surface coatings with ultra hard and ultra tough characteristics in a single portable unit become possible. These processes can be done in a quick, reliable, and economical manner. This system will include multiple lasers of different wavelengths ranging from the UV to the IR. The specific wavelengths will be based upon Turchan's QQC division's patented multiplexed laser synthesis technology. In Phase I of the development, Turchan Technologies will configure, integrate and demonstrate a single wavelength system capable of significantly modifying the characteristics of a steel coupon or sample part as well as a plan for condensing that system into a portable unit. There is no doubt that this technology would be invaluable to the DoD to enhance the properties of components such as gears, bearings, turbines, etc. on many of their ships and vehicles as well as other machinery.
