Study on the Development of CW YAG Laser for Processing

가공용 CW YAG 레이저 개발에 관한 연구

This paper deals with the experiment of CW YAG laser for processing. The YAG laser is spotted very small size beam compared with $CO_2$ laser having short wave-length. That is used broadly in material processing because of easy reaction to the materials, and the maintenance is very simple. The power delivery and focussing is done conventional optical components, and splitting beam is used many point stop-welding. In these studies, especial interest is nesessary to perpare for future technology. Our study aims to develop the YAG laser system and to accumulate design and construction technology. In basic experiments, we obtain the maximum output power of 50 W with the single elliptical cylinder.
