Tailored focal beam shaping and its application in laser material processing
摘要： Besides the optimization of the laser and processing parameters, the adaptation of the focal intensity distribution offers great potential for a well-defined control of laser processing and for improving the processing results. In this paper, different tailored intensity distributions were discussed with respect to their suitability for femtosecond laser material processing on the micro- and nanoscale such as cutting, marking, and the generation of laser-induced periodic surface structures. It was shown by means of laser processing of stainless steel that the numerical simulations for the beam shaping unit are in good agreement with the experimental results. Also, the suitability of the beam shaping device to work with a scanner and an F-theta lens as commonly used for material processing was demonstrated. In this context, the improvement of the machining results was shown experimentally, and a significant reduction of the machining time was achieved.

Top-hat and Gaussian laser beam smoothing of ground fused silica surface
摘要： Laser smoothing is a promising technique for processing optical glass due non-contact characteristics and easy-adaptability to non-spherical surfaces. The smoothing effects of CO2 laser of top-hat and Gaussian intensity on ground fused silica surfaces were examined in the work. The results show that ground surface with surface micro-roughness of 500 nm (RMS) can be smoothed to < 0.5 nm (RMS) with both intensity profiles. Best surface roughness rises with increasing power density of laser and therefore lower power density combined with slow scanning speed is favored to improve surface quality. Numerical model was established to investigate thermal and hydrodynamic transient process to elucidate the underlying mechanism. Simulations show that smoothing process takes place at the same time as the temperature rises due to ever-decreasing viscosity of fused silica. Beam shaping is able to reduce peak power density of high power processing laser and smoothing efficiency might be increased without the loss of the processed quality of glass.
