Centre for Optical & Laser Engineering
has core facilities for industrial-oriented
research and development. It includes the following laboratories: COLE (focused
on optical design, laser manufacturing and testing), the Mechanics of Materials
Lab (specialised on mechanics of materials and structures), the Precision
Engineering Lab (a joint NTU-MAE and SIMTech facility housing equipment for
precision micro-/nano-machining and laser machining in a 261 m2
laboratory area), and the CMMS-Micromachine Lab (a 200 m2,
class 10000/100 cleanroom furnished with state of the art equipment for MEMS
manufacturing, including thin-film growth and deposition, 1 μm single/double
side photolithography, high aspect ratio chemical/plasma etching and
characterisation).
