YAG laser monitoring. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5936097
A program has been initiated to characterize, calibrate, and monitor the output of high power Nd:YAG lasers at Allied Corporation, Bendix Kansas City Division (BKC). This program was developed to aid in maintaining product quality in the application of these lasers during manufacturing processes. Reference standards have been established, a basic calibration procedure outlined, critical laser output parameters identified, and recommendations made on instrumentation for in-process monitoring of Nd:YAG lasers. Success was related to the design and construction of two major items, a reference sensor assembly for characterizing and calibrating the direct output of a laser and a laser output monitor for continuous monitoring of a laser's output. 16 figs.
