Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Laser processing apparatus includes movable mirror for changing paths of laser light for processing and measurement light, and stage for changing an incident angle of measuring light. Furthermore, laser processing apparatus includes lens for condensing laser light for processing and measurement light on processing point, controller for controlling laser oscillator, movable mirror, and stage based on corrected data for processing, and measurement processor for measuring a depth of keyhole generated at processing point. The corrected data for processing is data corrected so as to a deviation of an arrival position of at least one of laser light for processing and measurement light caused by chromatic aberration of lens on the surface of workpiece. With this configuration, an accurate depth of keyhole can be measured.

Abstract: A laser system includes an integrated fiber laser front-end, configured to generate and output a pre-amplified first pulsed laser beam having predefined beam characteristics corresponding to a user defined pulse shape and a user defined pulse width setting selection of a controller. The first pulsed laser beam is generated from a master oscillator which outputs a CW laser beam to a temporal pulse shaper, which modulates the CW laser beam to output the first pulsed laser beam in response to an electrical pulse from an arbitrary wave generator and a DC bias voltage from an automatic modulator bias control circuitry. The first pulsed laser beam is pre-amplified to an output pulsed laser beam for laser peening or laser bond inspection. A beam detector is used to monitor beam characteristics, and to generate an error signal to be sent back as a feedback signal to the controller for adjustments and corrections.
