    Abstract: A head assembly for a liquid jet guided laser system is disclosed having a coupling unit removably disposed to a laser focus optic module of the laser system. The coupling unit has a nozzle assembly removably connected to the coupling unit. The nozzle assembly has a liquid jet nozzle and a nozzle cap. The nozzle cap has a plurality of axial assist gas conduits and static assist gas conduits in fluid communication with an assist gas source extending through the nozzle cap body to individually transport assist gas to axial exit ports and static exit ports positioned to exhaust assist gas proximate the liquid jet. At least a portion of the plurality of axial assist gas conduits are partitioned from fluid communication with the liquid jet hole. A lateral movement assembly can be configured between the laser focus optic module and coupling unit.

    Abstract: A method for cutting passages in an airfoil using a liquid-jet guided laser beam includes positioning a frustoconical tip of the liquid-jet guided laser at a first X, Y and Z location that is defined with respect to the airfoil and at a first standoff distance of greater than 5 mm and less than 20 mm from an outer surface of the airfoil. The method also includes generating a laser beam confined within a fluid column via the liquid jet guided laser, wherein the laser beam is aimed at the outer surface. The method further includes monitoring for breakthrough of the laser beam through an inner surface of an inner cavity of the airfoil, shutting off the laser beam once breakthrough is detected and repositioning the frustoconical tip at a second X, Y and Z location and at a second standoff distance. A system for cutting a passage in an airfoil is also disclosed herein.
