However, the presence of relatively high numerical apertures leads to limited depth of field, which reduces the speed of OCM and decreases the advantage of Fourier domain detection. In this paper we propose a numerical processing technique for three-dimensional image reconstruction in Fourier domain OCM. It takes into account not only the defocus of different parts of imaged volumetric sample, but also the effects of upper layers’ refractive index on imaging the sample inner structure. Besides providing sharp coherence gated imaging, this technique also allows for determining both the geometrical thickness and refractive index of the sample layers.","PeriodicalId":103215,"journal":{"name":"ALT Proceedings","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130935597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Modulation amplitude of the PA signal demonstrates non-monotonous behavior during laser pulse action which can be explained as interference between thermo-acoustic and vaporization mechanisms of pressure generation. The phase behavior of modulated part of PA signal also gives important information on processes in the irradiated matter. Doppler photoacoustic monitoring (DPM) is used to determine surface movement during laser irradiation (wavelength – 2.94 um, pulse duration ~ 200-300 ns, fluence ~ 0.3-1.6 J/cm2). In the case of free surface this movement is possible into the upward and downward directions while for the constrained irradiated surface only one movement is supposed. This supposition is in agreement with the experiment. However the total behavior of PA response is more complicated due to probably vapor cavity formation between liquid and solid surfaces. In particular, despite the imposed constraint PA response behavior resembles the free surface case.","PeriodicalId":103215,"journal":{"name":"ALT Proceedings","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115921633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results are reported for different speed of cutting of mild-steel plate of 3 mm-thick with high-power fiber laser; oxygen was used as an assisted gas. Researches demonstrate that fluctuations of local temperature are related to unequal radiation absorption that associates with local deformations of surface of melt. Thus noise spectrum of those fluctuations reflects turbulent surface deformation caused by gas jet and capillary waves. The standard temperature deviation does not exceed 10 K on the frequency of 7 KHz and above, and power law of spectrum of density of fluctuations of local temperature is about “-2.8” in range of capillary turbulence. Thus we can distinguish radiation pulsation due to laser cutting from other processes of radiation affection to the sample, including unwanted, degrading the quality of technological operations.
