High Power Diode Lasers

Abstract

Welding, brazing, and soldering are thermal processes used to join material. Laser technology has been applied for these processes for many years. The main principle of all laser-supported joining technologies is the absorption of laser radiation near to the contact area of the joining partners and — if used — also at the filler material, the transformation of the radiation energy into heat and the transition of part of the irradiated material into the molten (metals) or plasticized (polymers) state. This phase transformation allows the creation of a solid joint by resolidification of the molten or plasticized volume and bridging the gap between the joining partners. This happens spatially behind the interaction zone being moved along the joint track or simply temporally after the laser is switched off.
