"This work is based on recent developments at MLPC in laser micromachining and fabrication techniques," said Clifford G. Brockmyre, CEO of Infinite Group.

"We are pleased to be working with the team at AFRL's Materials and Manufacturing Directorate (AFRL/ML) on this exciting effort," said Dr. Larry Dosser, President of MLPC. "AFRL/ML possesses novel YBCO process technology and we have developed complementary substrate preparation technology." "Scale-up to long lengths remains the principal challenge, but it is clear that we (AFRL/ML and MLPC) will have a leadership position in this emerging superconductor manufacturing technology," said Dr Steven R. LeClair, Chief, Materials Process Design Branch within AFRL/ML.

Headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB), Ohio, the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) was formed October 1997 from an organizational consolidation of four former Air Force laboratories (Armstrong, Phillips, Rome, and Wright) and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR). AFRL's goal is to create a more efficient, effective organization to support the Air Force's global engagement vision.

MLPC is a high technology company that specializes in laser technology, photonics applications and advanced manufacturing methods providing laser services for aerospace, medical and other commercial applications.
