studying gaussian beam is a method to investigate laser beam propagation and abcd matrix is a fast and simple method to simulate gaussian beam propagation in different mediums. of the abcd matrices studied so far, reflection and refraction matrices at various surfaces have attracted a lot of researches. however in previous work the incident beam and the principle axis of surface are in parallel...

This study successfully applied multi-mode laser cutting with the variation of the laser cutting speed to cement mortar for the first time. The effects of the amount of silica sand in the cement mortar on laser cutting are tested and analyzed. The kerf width and penetration depth of the specimens after laser cutting are investigated. As the laser cutting speed increases, the penetration depth d...

Industrial high-speed laser operations the use of delta parallel robots potentially offers many benefits, due to their structural stiffness and limited moving masses. This paper deals with a particular Delta, developed for high-speed laser cutting. Parallel delta robot has numerous advantages in comparison with serial robots: Higher stiffness, and connected with that a lower mass of links, the ...

Nowadays in highly competitive precision industries, the micromachining of advanced engineering materials is extremely demand as it has extensive application in the fields of automobile, electronic, biomedical and aerospace engineering.

In this paper, empirical modeling of surface roughness in CO2 laser cutting of mild steel using the multiple regression analysis (MRA) and artificial neural network (ANN) was presented. To cover wider range of laser cutting parameters such as cutting speed, laser power and assist gas pressure as well as to obtain experimental database for MRA and ANN model development, Taguchi’s L25 orthogonal ...

The dynamic properties of inkjet-printed Ag thin films on flexible substrates were measured using flexural wave propagation. The Ag nanoparticle suspension was inkjet-printed on polyimide (PI), silicon wafer, and glass. The effects of flexible substrates on the dynamic properties of the films were investigated. Beam-shaped Ag-printed substrates were fabricated by pico-second laser pulse cutting...

A tightly focused laser beam (laser wire) is used for measurement of transverse electron beam sizes in storage rings and linear colliders. It is assumed that the laser beam does nothing with the electron beam except Compton scatter-ings which happen with a rather small probability. In reality , electrons crossing the laser beam get kicks (with 100% probability) proportional to the square of the...

Jones matrix computation is one of the widely used methods in nonlinearitycalculation in laser interferometers. In this paper, the nonlinearity error in developedthree-longitudinal mode heterodyne interferometer (DTLMI) has been mathematicallymodeled at various speeds, by using Jones matrix calculations. This review has been donedespite the fact that simultaneously the main factors including no...
