Mikromaterialbearbeitung mit ultrakurzen Laserimpulsen: Vorzüge, Probleme, Sicherheitsaspekte
(2005)
A first investigation on the ablation of composite materials like carbon and silicon-carbide reinforced alumo- and borosilicate glasses by 300 fs laser pulses (620 nm) in comparison to experiments with 17 ns pulse excimer laser (308 nm) treatment is presented. In all composites, femtosecond laser scans with a fluence of less than 2 J cm-2 produce well defined cuts with smooth side walls in contrast to the nanosecond laser result where extremely incongruent ablation is observed. Visible lasers should not be applicable because SiC and the glasses are practically transparent. Visible subpicosecond pulses of high intensity in the TW cm-2 range allow multi-photon absorption accompanied by incubation phenomena. The morphology of the groove edges reveal the contrasting ablation thresholds and rates of the fibre and glass materials. The ablation thresholds of the transparent components, i.e. the glass matrices and SiC, are about one order of magnitude greater than that of carbon which is ~ 0.15 J cm-2. Incubation effects are important for the absorption mechanisms in the transparent materials. When a critical number of pulses has not been reached at the SiC-glass composites, only the glass is preferentially ablated, and the fibres remain intact. This is in contrast to the C-glass composites where the ablation behaviour is opposite.
High-power lasers in industrial and R & D applications raise the general problem of reliability and degradation of optical components. A systematic study of nonlinear interaction of various transparent dielectric materials as e.g. glasses, fused silica, and polymers, with laser-pulses in the intensity range of up to 1013 W cm-2 is presented. On the other hand, femtosecond-pulse laser processing in the visible spectral range (300 fs; 620 nm, ~ 2 eV) allows precise microstructuring of transparent dielectrics without disruption of the remnant material. Damage and ablation threshold fluences occur above 1.2 J cm-2 at both silicate glasses and fused silica. Two different photon absorption mechanisms have been observed. The first occurs during the initial laser pulses in the incubation range. There, multiphoton absorption results in moderate energy volume densities. These are sufficient to generate morphological changes and optically active defect sites (colour centres) which provide a much higher absorptivity relevant for the second mechanism. It results in gasification without participation of melt.
Analyse häufig verwendeter europäischer Papiere. Im Fokus: Fasermaterial, Füllstoffe und Leimung
(2007)
Restauratoren können verschiedene Papierarten mit dem bloßen Auge aufgrund von Merkmalen in der Textur und der Oberflächenbeschaffenheit, seinem Aussehen im Durchlicht sowie an Griff und Klang grob unterscheiden. Dabei ist sich der Restaurator stets der Tatsache bewusst, dass es sich lediglich um eine erste grobe Einschätzung handeln kann. Erst bei mikroskopischen Analysen und physikalischen Experimenten treten Charakteristika zu Tage, die eine weitere Annäherung an die Zusammensetzung des Papiers und damit seiner Provenienz erlauben. Gegenstand dieser Arbeit war es, ein europäisches Hadernpapier, ein holzhaltiges Zeichenpapier und ein Whatman®-Filterpapier mit zwei mikroskopischen Methoden und einer Verbrennungstechnik zu untersuchen. Das Fasermaterial, die Füllstoffe, die Leimung und eventuelle Verunreinigungen wurden detailliert evaluiert. Neben konventioneller Lichtmikroskopie kam die weniger bekannte Umweltrasterelektronenmikroskopie (ESEM = Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy) zum Einsatz, die neben der bildlichen Darstellung der Probenoberflächen zusätzlich eine Elementanalyse derselben gestattet. Letzteres erfordert allerdings das Vorhandensein eines zusätzlichen Röntgenspektrometers. Darüber hinaus wurden die verschiedenen Papiere trocken verascht. Es wurde eine oxidative Zerstörung der organischen Stoffe gewährleistet bis nur noch nichtbrennbare mineralische Asche zu verzeichnen war. Die Komplementarität der eingesetzten Methoden wird demonstriert und ein Einblick in die Zusammensetzung und Struktur der Papiere ermöglicht. Die Analysemethoden sind durch ihren partiell zerstörenden Charakter bzw. Limitierungen hinsichtlich der Objektgröße nur bedingt für die Untersuchung am Original geeignet, sehr wohl aber dafür, das Probenmaterial für Versuchsreihen genau zu definieren und zu standardisieren.
In recent years, femtosecond lasers matured from sensitive research setups to turnkey systems for an increasing number of applications. Now that running an ultra-short pulse laser system needs no longer a specialized scientist, safety issues become more crucial. Ultrashort laser pulses have extremely high peak powers and even scattered radiation may possess severe risks to the unprotected eye. Accordingly,
special protection schemes are necessary for these unique laser systems.
High-power optical multimode fibers are essential components for materials processing and surgery and can limit the performance of expensive systems due to breakdown at the end faces. The aim of this paper is the determination of laser-induced damage thresholds (LIDT) of fibers (FiberTech) and preforms (Heraeus Suprasil F300). Preforms served as models. They were heated up to maximum temperatures of 1100, 1300 and 1500°C and cooled down to room temperature at rates of 10 K min-1 (oven) and ~105 K min-1 (quenched in air) to freeze in various structural states simulating different conditions similar to a drawing process during the production of fibers. Single- and multi-pulse LIDT measurements were done in accordance with the relevant ISO standards. Nd:YAG laser pulses with durations of 15 ns (1064 nm wavelength) and 8.5 ns (532 nm) at a repetition rate of 10 Hz were used. For the preforms, LIDT values (1-on-1) ranged from 220 to 350 J/cm² (1064 nm) and from 80 to 110 J/cm² (532 nm), respectively. A multi-pulse impact changed the thresholds to lower values. The LIDT (1064 nm wavelength) of the preforms can be regarded as a lower limit for those of the fibers.
Optical multimode fibers are applied in materials processing (e.g. automotive industry), defense, aviation technology, medicine and biotechnology. One challenging task concerning the production of multimode fibers is the enhancement of laser-induced damage thresholds. A higher damage threshold enables a higher transmitted average power at a given fiber diameter or the same power inside a thinner fiber to obtain smaller focus spots.
In principle, different material parameters affect the damage threshold. Besides the quality of the preform bulk material itself, the drawing process during the production of the fiber and the preparation of the fiber end surfaces influence the resistance. Therefore, the change of the laser-induced damage threshold of preform materials was investigated in dependence on a varying thermal treatment and preparation procedure.
Single and multi-pulse laser-induced damage thresholds of preforms (F300, Heraeus) were measured using a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser at 1064 nm wavelength emitting pulses with a duration of 15 ns, a pulse energy of 12 mJ and a repetition rate of 10 Hz. The temporal and spatial shape of the laser pulses were controlled accurately.
Laser-induced damage thresholds in a range from 150 J cm-2 to 350 J cm-2 were determined depending on the number of pulses applied to the same spot, the thermal history and the polishing quality of the samples, respectively.
Characterization of laser-generated microparticles by means of a dust monitor and SEM imaging
(2006)
Nanosecond laser (1064 nm wavelength) cleaning of artificially soiled paper as a model sample simulating a real-world artwork was performed. During the cleaning process, the ejection of particles was monitored in situ by means of a dust monitor (8 size classes, ranging from 0.3 µm to >2 µm) and ex situ using a mini-cascade impactor (MKI, 5 stages). The cleaning result was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) considering possible laser-induced damages to the substrate. Size distributions of emitted particles were measured depending on the processing parameters: laser fluence, F, and pulse number per spot, N. High numbers of large (>2 µm) particles were collected by the mini-cascade impactor indicating a gas dynamical liftoff process. Obviously, these particles were not affected by the laser-matter interaction. The different methods (SEM, MKI, and dust monitor) are compared with respect to their usefulness for a proper interpretation of the cleaning results.
High-power optical multimode fibers are essential components for materials processing
and surgery and can limit the reliability of expensive systems due to breakdown at the end faces.
The breakdown threshold of fibers is determined by intrinsic materials properties and parameters of
the technology applied. The aim of this paper is the identification of technological parameters that
are crucial for the fiber quality.
Fibers were drawn from preforms of Heraeus SWU with core material F300 and a low amount of
OH-. Both, the cladding (fluorine doped SiO2) to core diameter ratio (CCDR) and the drawing speed
were varied. CCDR values between 1.05 and 1.4 were used. Afterwards, the laser-induced damage
thresholds (LIDT) of the fibers were determined. For comparison, also samples from preforms,
which underwent different thermal treatments above the transition temperature, were tested with
respect to their damage resistivity. Single and multi pulse LIDT measurements were done in
accordance with the relevant ISO standards. Nd:YAG laser pulses with durations of 15 ns (1064 nm
wavelength) and 8.5 ns (532 nm) at a repetition rate of 10 Hz were utilized. For the fibers, LIDT
values (1-on-1, 1064 nm and 532 nm) increased with growing CCDR and with decreasing drawing
velocities.
