    Presented at ICALEO 2012

    Though the genesis of the disk laser concept dates to the early 90’s, the disk laser continues to demonstrate the flexibility and the certain future of a breakthrough technology. On-going increases in power per disk, and improvements in beam quality and efficiency continue to validate the genius of the disk laser concept. As of today, the disk principle has not reached any fundamental limits regarding output power per disk or bea...

    Presented at ICALEO 2012

    Momentum and heat transfer of inert gas jet to the melt in laser cutting is studied well by numerous researchers. Gas dynamic conditions of cutting with oxygen are significantly different from inert cutting: only 0.3 bar of high purity oxygen are enough to cut 10mm plate. Such a pressure level is absolutely insufficient for inert gas cutting. This paper is focused on the influence of...

    Presented at ICALEO 2012

    This paper presents a direct comparison of fiber laser and CO2 laser cutting machines from a "what laser should you buy next?" point of view. Both types of machine have their drawbacks and advantages, and a direct comparison needs to compare costs, cutting speeds, cut quality and several other factors, including maintenance and safety considerations. The overall conclusion of the paper is that, from a jobshop perspective, the CO2 laser is a mor...

    Authors:
    Alexander Laskin, AdlOptica GmbH; Berlin Germany
    Vadim Laskin, AdlOptica GmbH; Berlin Germany
    Presented at ICALEO 2012

    Modern techniques of laser material processing require not only simple homogenizing of a beam, but also more freedom in manipulation of intensity profile and generating such profiles like super-Gaussian and inverse-Gaussian; controllable varying of the intensity profile allows to adjust" a particular material processing technology, improve it or make more efficient. These tasks can be successfully accomplished using the field mapping refractive beam shaping optics like piShap...
