    摘要: Method of changing the residual compressive stresses of an area of a workpiece by tailoring multiple laser beams applied to the workpiece. In one embodiment, a relatively long duration laser pulse is applied to the workpiece followed by a relatively short duration laser pulse. Other tailoring embodiments used to increase the total residual compressive stress of workpieces include blending two laser pulses, or splicing them utilizing a first short sliced-type beam combined with a relatively long duration, high powered gaussian laser beam pulse. A third embodiment utilizes two or more laser beams or pulses of different wavelengths.

    摘要: A method for quality assurance of a laser shock peening process of workpieces includes measuring and recording or temporal light intensity data over a short period during the duration of a plasma associated with the vaporized material from laser shots fired during a production laser shock peening process. The recorded temporal data is then analyzed to obtain an instantaneous optical spectrum of the plasma and then used to provide statistical control of the production laser shock peening process. One correlation function of the present invention is based on a time integrated spectral peak intensity wavelength curve for each of the laser firings and for which a peak intensity wavelength is determined for a plurality of times during each plasma of a plurality or all of the firings. Production results from the analysis of the instantaneous optical spectrum is used to determine whether the production laser shock peening process is acceptable. One embodiment of the method compares the production results from the analysis of the instantaneous optical spectrum to a correlation of test results from the analysis of instantaneous optical spectrum and high cycle fatigue failure based on high cycle fatigue tests of test workpieces that are the same or related to the production workpieces and that were laser shock peened in the same or similar laser shock peening apparatus.

    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: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for shaping a laser pulse. The method comprises the steps of generating a laser pulse with a laser, opening an optical switch to allow the laser pulse to pass through the optical switch, determining a first reference time point with respect to the laser pulse, determining a second reference time point with respect to the opening of the optical switch, and adjusting an opening time of the optical switch based on the first and second reference time points to shape the laser pulse. The method may be carried out with an apparatus which comprises a laser which generates the laser pulse, a first optical detector which detects the laser pulse and generates a first signal representing the laser pulse, an optical switch through which the laser pulse passes, a second optical detector which detects the laser pulse after the laser pulse has passed through the optical switch, and which generates a second signal representing the laser pulse, a computer which receives the first and second signals and which calculates a delay period based on the first and second signals, and a pulse generator which receives the delay period from the computer and which generates a pulse delayed by the delay period to open the optical switch.

    摘要: Coated objects are recycled by irradiation with a laser beam. The invention is applied to objects (such as documents) that include an entry surface, a surface coated with a coating (such as text or graphics printed with copier or printer toner), and a body interposed between the surface. A laser beam is directed toward a target region of the coated surface, traveling first through the object's entry surface and body, which are translucent or transparent to the wavelength of light contained in the laser beam. The laser beam generates a plasma shock wave at the target region of the coated surface, thereby discharging particles of the coating located near the target region. The discharged printed matter is discharged away from the object, thereby avoiding undesired impregnation of the coating into the object. Discharged coating may be recycled by collection and subsequent reuse.
