KINGSTON, ON -- A breakthrough optical measurement technology for laser cutting developed by two Queen’s physicists is the winner of this year’s Atherton Entrepreneurship Award.
The technology, discovered by principal investigator Dr. James Fraser and doctoral candidate Paul Webster, solves a significant problem inherent in the use of lasers in automated industrial welding, drilling and machining. The researchers’ discovery opens broad new avenues for the use of high-power lasers in both the manufacturing and eventually the medical sector.
