High power lasers and their industrial applications; Proceedings of the Meeting, Innsbruck, Austria, Apr. 15-18, 1986
Abstract
Papers are presented on the discharge behavior of an RF excited high power CO2 laser at different excitation frequencies; high power CO2 lasers for materials processing; a semiconductive preionization technique; high power Nd lasers for industrial applications; high power light transmission in optical waveguides; beam delivery systems for high power lasers; and quality control for high power CO2 laser optics. Topics discussed include the monitoring of laser material processes; measuring the quality of high power laser beams; the physics of laser material processing; metal precision drilling with lasers; and the evolution of microstructure for laser clad Fe-Cr-Mn-C alloys. Consideration is given to robotic manipulation for laser processing; laser cutting; the use of the laser versus the electron beam in welding the surface treatments; high power laser safety; and laser protective filters for the visible and near-IR spectrum.
