Coupling Light Guides TRIZ Cases
- High-Frequency Fiber Beam Shaping for Adaptive Laser Processing
Rapid switching between fiber regions creates time-averaged beam profiles, improving laser processing across varying materials and geometries.
- Rotatable Optical Fiber Connector With Adjustable Bearing Clamping
A hollow shaft, spaced bearings, and a cap nut simplify assembly, adjust axial distance, and reduce torsional stress on polygonal fibers.
- Laser Beam Path Switching for Continuous Dual-Spot Processing
A single laser oscillator switches between small- and large-core fiber paths to keep melting and processing continuous without rise-time delays.
- Optical Fiber Laser Cleaving Near the Ferrule End Face
A reflected low-fluence laser cleaves optical fiber within 20 μm of the ferrule end face, reducing polishing time and ferrule damage.
- Laser-to-Fiber Optical Axis Alignment Using Intensity Distribution
Light intensity distribution guides laser-to-fiber axis alignment to balance coupling efficiency with beam shape and reduce repeated adjustment.
- Optical Fiber Cleaving with Annular Laser Craters for Flat End Faces
Discrete CO2 laser craters formed around the fiber circumference enable flat optical fiber cleaves, even for large diameters without high tension.
- Laser Beam Path Switching for Faster Melt-to-Cut Processing
A single laser oscillator switches between small and large beam paths to avoid rise-time delays and speed melting-to-cut processing.
- Dual-Wavelength Laser Optics for Adjustable Condensing Positions
Varying numerical aperture lets dual-wavelength laser optics shift or align focal positions, reducing optical complexity in precision processing.
- Optical Ferrule Reshaping for Core Concentricity Correction
Laser reshaping of selected ferrule outer-surface regions corrects core offset, improving optical coupling and reducing insertion loss.
- Core-Ring Laser Beam Shaping for Spatter-Free Corner Welding
Splitting laser power between core and ring fibers relieves vapor capillary pressure in corner joins, reducing spatter and improving gas-tight welds.
- Monolithic Reflective Beam Conditioner With Passive Alignment
Integrated alignment features machined into a monolithic reflective beam conditioner preserve mirror alignment across temperature changes without active tuning.
- Composite Laser Beam Welding of Coated Plates Without Spatter
A center-and-ring laser beam balances pressure release and weld heat to join coated plates with deeper penetration and less spatter.
- Laser Bundle Intensity Sensing for Consistent Weld Delivery
Smart-part sensors detect weld-area laser intensity and let the controller correct bundle output to maintain repeatable STTIr weld quality.
- Optical Fiber Bundle Beam Overlap for High-Density Laser Spots
Multiple fiber beams are deflected to overlap after emission, creating a high-power laser spot without heat-prone power combiners.
- Laser Cleaving of Ferrule-Mounted Optical Fibers Near the End Face
A reflected laser beam cleaves bonded optical fibers within 20 μm of the ferrule end face, cutting polishing time and process complexity.
- Liquid-Assisted Laser Micromachining for Smooth Fiber Holes
A fluorinated liquid medium cools transparent dielectrics and clears debris, enabling precise high-aspect-ratio fiber holes with smoother interiors.
