Abstract
The 3D geometry of the interaction zone in laser material processing is of major importance as it defines the absorption of the laser beam and may influence the hydrodynamics of the process. With the aim of measuring this geometry, which typically changes with frequencies in the order of 10 kHz, a single-frame polarimeter with acquisition rates of up to 75 kHz is presented in this work. It simultaneously records four images of the thermal process emission, through four linear polarizers with different orientations. The formulae required for the reconstruction of the 3D geometry from these images are derived and validated on an example of a heated steel sphere. The reconstructed geometry was found to be in good agreement with the examined sphere. An experimental example is also given of the application of this technology to geometry measurement of a highly dynamic laser cutting front at a framerate of 75 kHz.
