    摘要: A method for monitoring a laser welding process for welding workpieces by a welding laser beam is provided. The method includes, during the laser welding process, directing a measuring beam of an optical coherence tomograph onto an interaction area in which the welding laser beam interacts with the workpieces. The measuring beam penetrates the workpieces in the interaction area in a through weld of the workpieces. The measuring beam penetrating the workpieces is incident on a reference element. The method further includes acquiring measured values using the measuring beam, defining a first measured value range corresponding to detection of a material of the workpieces, defining a second measured value range corresponding to detection of the reference element, and determine a ratio of a number of measured values lying in the first measured value range and a number of measured values lying in the second measured value range.

    摘要: An apparatus for influencing a laser beam from an ultrashort pulse laser includes a pulse-precise deflector unit configured to deflect the laser beam in at least one direction perpendicular to a beam propagation direction, a transformation optics arrangement having at least two components arranged downstream of the pulse-precise deflector unit. The transformation optics arrangement is configured to transform a spatial deflection and/or an angular deflection of the laser beam into the angular deflection and/or the spatial deflection, and/or transform the spatial deflection and the angular deflection inversely, by using a space-to-angle transformation and/or an angle-to-space transformation. The apparatus further includes a processing optical unit arranged downstream of the transformation optics arrangement and configured to guide the laser beam into an image-side focal plane of the processing optical unit.

    摘要: A method for welding a copper/aluminum connection includes providing a first workpiece, which consists of a copper-containing material, in particular at least 80% by weight Cu, and a second workpiece, which consists of an aluminum-containing material, in particular at least 80% by weight Al, and welding the first workpiece and the second workpiece to one another in a surface region by means of a laser beam moved in relation to the first and second workpieces along a welding path. The laser beam is directed onto a surface of the first workpiece and the second workpiece is arranged behind the first workpiece with respect to the laser beam, with a greatest spot diameter SD of the laser beam on the surface of the first workpiece, where SD≤120 μm. The welding path is chosen such that the laser beam progressively penetrates into solid workpiece material along the welding path.

    摘要: Disclosed are optical arrangements including: a disk-shaped laser-active medium, a deflecting device, having a plurality of mirror elements on which mirror faces for deflecting a laser beam are formed, and having a base body on which the mirror elements are fastened, the mirror faces of the mirror elements being oriented in such a way that the laser beam is deflected by a respective mirror face via the disk-shaped laser-active medium to another mirror face. The mirror elements are formed in one piece or are monolithically joined, and have a connecting section that is formed rotationally symmetrically with respect to a center axis and is rigidly connected by a material-fit connection or a direct connection to the base body.
