    摘要: A method for forming a slot in a metal component having first and second opposite surfaces utilizes a first laser beam having a pulse rate and power to vaporize the metal. The laser beam is traversed across the first surface at a feed rate so that each beam pulse vaporizes the component metal at a spot. The laser beam pulse rate and feed rate are effective so that successive spots do not substantially overlap each other. The laser beam is traversed in repeated steps in a series of passes so that the spots collectively form a continuous slot to a depth below the first surface. In a subsequent step, a second laser beam is positioned in the slot to drill a hole through a base of the slot, with the second laser beam being repositioned to drill a plurality of the through holes spaced apart from each other along the length of the slot.

    摘要: A system for detecting energy leakage from an optical fiber transmitting high power laser beams. A second optical fiber is placed together with the laser power transmitting fiber into a jacketing tube or conduit. The second fiber is connected at one end to a light source and at the other end to a photosensitive diode. Leakage of laser energy from the power transmitting fiber will cause a failure of the second optical fiber, reducing or terminating the transmission of light to the photosensitive diode. Energy leakage from the laser power transmitting fiber can therefore be detected by monitoring the output of the photosensitive diode.

    摘要: A method for quality assurance of a laser shock peening process uses interferometry to form a fringe image from first and second interferograms of unstressed and stressed laser shock peened patches respectively of a workpiece. The fringe image may then be compared to a predetermined correlation of fringe images for indicating quality assurance. Stressing the laser shock peened patch may include loading the production and test workpieces during the production of the first and second images by interferometry while the production and test workpieces are fixtured. The loading may be done by heating, twisting, or bending of at least a portion of the production and test workpieces. The comparing of the production images of fringes may include comparing fringe characteristics of the laser shock peened patches on the production workpieces laser against fringe characteristics of the predetermined correlation.

    摘要: A laser apparatus is disclosed which is capable of protecting the laser slab or rod crystal within the laser from damage due to overheating when the laser malfunctions in a manner such that laser output ceases while optical pumping of the laser crystal continues. The laser apparatus includes a laser crystal situated within a laser cavity. The apparatus also includes an excitation lamp for pumping the crystal to generate a laser beam to project along a desired main path. A first sensor senses the cessation of the projection of the laser beam along the desired main path and a second sensor senses the continuing excitation of the excitation lamp. The apparatus further includes a extinguishing circuit for extinguishing the excitation lamp a predetermined amount of time after the cessation of the laser beam such that damage to the laser apparatus due to overheating is avoided.
