    Presented at ICALEO 2011

    An effort was under taken to mitigate thermal lensing and have an easy and compact means of monitoring thermal lensing in a high power laser system. Utilizing the negative temperature coefficient refractive index of CaF2 with the nearly opposing positive temperature coefficient refractive index of SiO2, a multi-element focusing objective was fabricated to reduce the amount of thermal lensing experienced with a multi-kilowatt, cw fiber laser. In addi...

    Presented at ICALEO 2011

    Focus shift or thermal lensing is one of the key factors when determining the quality of a cutting or welding head. High power CO2 laser industry cutting heads evolved over time to produce focused beams with a minimum of thermal lensing. One of the key lens parameters that determine thermal lensing produced by a focusing lens is the lens materials thermal conductivity. CO2 OEM sys...
