    摘要: A laser-based workpiece processing system includes sensors connected to a sensor controller that converts sensor signals into focused spot motion commands for actuating a beam steering device, such as a two-axis steering mirror. The sensors may include a beam position sensor for correcting errors detected in the optical path, such as thermally-induced beam wandering in response to laser or acousto-optic modulator pointing stability, or optical mount dynamics.

    摘要: A method selectively processes structures on a workpiece with laser pulses. The structures are arranged in a linear pattern having approximately equal pitch. The pulses propagate along a laser beam propagation path terminating at a laser beam spot on the workpiece. The method fires a first processing pulse when the spot coincides with a first structure location, selectively blocks or clears the propagation path during the first pulse, moves the workpiece and the spot relative to one another such that the spot moves toward a second structure location at a speed less than the product of the laser's PRF and the pitch, fires a dummy pulse before the spot reaches the second structure location, blocks the propagation path during the dummy laser pulse, fires another processing pulse when the beam spot coincides with the second structure location, and selectively blocks or clears the propagation path during the second processing pulse.

    摘要: A laser is characterized by a PRF (pulse repetition frequency) parameter that specifies a PRF at which pulses produced by the laser have desirable pulse properties for irradiating a target on or within a workpiece. The laser emits a laser pulse that propagates along a laser beam propagation path terminating at a laser beam spot on the workpiece. A method is effective to operate the laser at an effective PRF lower than the PRF parameter without substantially degrading the desirable pulse properties. The method receives data indicating the location on the workpiece of the target to be selectively irradiated with the laser pulse. The method determines a firing position of the laser beam spot relative to the workpiece at which the laser should emit a pulse directed at the target and calculates, based on a desired charging time, a charging start position of the laser beam spot relative to the workpiece at which the laser should begin charging so as to charge for the desired charging time before the laser beam spot reaches the firing position. The method moves the workpiece and the laser beam spot relative to one another such that the laser beam spot moves over the charging start position and then to the firing position and senses a position of the laser beam spot relative to the workpiece as the workpiece moves relative to the laser beam spot. The method commences charging of the laser when the laser beam spot is at the charging start position, whereby the laser charges for approximately the desired charging time, and the method fires the laser when the laser beam spot reaches the firing position, whereby the laser emits a pulse having desired pulse properties. Alternatively, the commencing step can be based on time rather than position.

    摘要: Methods and systems operate a machine having a laser characterized by a PRF (pulse repetition frequency) parameter that specifies a PRF at which pulses produced by the laser have desirable pulse properties for irradiating structures on or within a workpiece. The structures are arranged on the workpiece in a linear pattern having an approximately equal pitch between adjacent structures. The laser emits a laser pulse that propagates along a laser beam propagation path terminating at a laser beam spot on the workpiece. The method is effective to move the laser beam spot across the structures along the linear pattern at a speed greater than the product of the PRF and the pitch to selectively irradiate selected ones of the structures with the laser without substantially degrading the desirable pulse properties.
