Acousto-optical Process Control for Laser Ablation and Laser Welding

Authors:

Chen Peng

Contents:
  • The optical microphone has proven effective and invaluable as a measurement instrument during laser processes.
  • The measurements obtained are useful in:
    • the automated calibration of the optimum focus spot of a laser beam,
    • controlling the laser ablation quality in a production line without modifying the workpiece, and
    • identifying keyhole formation (or lack thereof) during laser welding processes.
