Abstract:
A laser irradiation apparatus irradiates an irradiation object with a laser beam. The apparatus comprises scanning pattern formation sections that change at least either of an emitting direction and a shift amount (size) of a laser beam periodically so that a position irradiated with a laser beam moves periodically along a predetermined scanning pattern on a predetermined plane. And the apparatus comprises an irradiation control section that stops irradiation of a laser beam directed to an excessive irradiation prevention area set in some area in the scanning pattern or makes an intensity of the laser beam lower in comparison with an intensity of a laser beam directed to an area other than the excessive irradiation prevention area.
Abstract:
Provided is a surface treatment method of a metallic material having a protective layer formed thereon. A surface of the protective layer is scanned while irradiating the surface and the surface is scanned while moving an irradiation spot along the surface, in a state in which a side layer of the protective layer along the metallic material remains covering the metallic material, and a side layer of the protective layer opposite to the metallic material side is removed by irradiation with the laser beam.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a laser irradiation state diagnosing method which allows accurately diagnosing a laser irradiation state. When irradiating a laser beam so that an irradiation spot scans the surface of the irradiation object, acoustic information in vicinity of the irradiation spot is acquired. And based on characteristics of the acoustic information, such as an intensity of a component of a specific frequency band or a frequency band distribution, a state of peeling of the adhered substances existing on the surface of the irradiation object is determined.
Abstract:
This is to provide a laser irradiation apparatus which can drive a deflection optical system (33) with a high speed by a small and lightweight structure and can cope with heat generation of the optical system. The laser irradiation apparatus includes a condensing optical system (32) for condensing a laser beam (B) generated by a laser oscillator (10) at a predetermined focal point (FP), a deflection optical system (33) for deflecting the laser beam (B) generated from the condensing optical system (32) with a predetermined deflection angle, and a driving unit (100) for rotationally driving the deflection optical system (33) around a rotation axis provided substantially in parallel to an optical axis of the condensing optical system (32), wherein the driving unit (100) has an air motor (100) which convert an energy possessed by a gas supplied from a gas supplying source (60) to a rotational force.
