    Presented at ICALEO 2005

    Microstructure and crystallographic orientation in the surface-melted region and clad region by diode laser have been investigated using Ni-base single crystal superalloy CMSX-4. The laser power and scanning speed in laser surface melting and cladding were varied while defocusing distance was constant. The microstructure and crystal orientation of the melted and clad regions were analyzed using SEM observation...

    Presented at ICALEO 2005

    Traditional focusing optics for IR lasers are refractive lenses and off-axis reflective mirrors. ZnSe and GaAs meniscus and plano-convex lenses dominate the refractive lens types in use today for CO2 laser cutting, welding, marking, engraving systems to name a few of the more common applications. Spherical mirrors used near normal incidence and off-axis parabolic mirrors dominate the type of reflective mirrors used in very high power CO2 lasers for wel...

    Johan Meijer, University of Twente; Enschede The Netherlands
    Johannes Hofman, Netherlands Institute for Metals Research; Enschede The Netherlands
    Presented at ICALEO 2005

    The intensity profile and beam caustics of a fiber coupled high power Nd:YAG beam through a lens system is discussed. The thermal lensing effect and its influence on the beam profile and focal position is discussed. Also the influence of small pollutions on the protective window are demonstrated. Asymmetry of the intensity profile in planes ...

    Non-Contact Measurement of Central Lens Thickness
    Authors:
    Markus Kogel-Hollacher, Precitec Optronik GmbH; Rodgau Germany
    Presented at ICALEO 2005

    The production of high-quality optical lenses from glass or polymer materials is subject to tight specification tolerances. Critical lens parameters such as central thickness have to be monitored frequently, during the production process. A non-contact, fast and precise optical measuring setup based upon a confocal chromatic probe can be used to measure central lens thickness ranging from 30 microns up to 25 mm. The only parameters that have to be known up front, are the radius of curvature of one lens surface, and the material used. We will present ...

    Presented at ICALEO 2005

    In industrial applications of high power CO2-lasers the caustic characteristics of the laser beam have great effects on the performance of the lasers. A well-defined high intense focused spot is essential for reliable production results. This paper presents a focal spot analyser that is developed for measuring the beam profiles of focused high power CO2-lasers. Conduction of the test methods and calculation of t...

    Presented at ICALEO 2005

    Laser coating (laser cladding) is a novel way to produce metal matrix composite (MMC) coatings. The selection of the metallic matrix can be selected on the base of the intended application and environment, whereas the additional wear resistance improvement is provided by mixing various carbides with the metallic matrix. In the present work, various types of MMC coatings were prepared by laser coating methods. The coatings co...
