METHOD AND DEVICE FOR OPTICALLY MONITORING A SURFACE IN AN AREA THEREOF SUBJECT TO LASER RADIATION

摘要

The invention relates to the field of measuring technology and can be used in measuring the temperature of a surface in an area thereof subject to laser radiation. The aim of the claimed invention is to develop a method for optically monitoring a surface in an area thereof subject to laser radiation by scanning the surface using a galvanometer scanner with an F-theta lens, and a device for implementing said method, thereby making it possible to obtain full information about the condition of the surface under the effect of laser radiation. The spectral lines of the thermal radiation of the surface recorded with a pyrometer, the spectral bands of the thermal radiation of the surface recorded with a video camera and the spectral lines of the radiation of sources of illumination are situated in the spectral passband of a galvanometer scanner on either side and in the immediate vicinity of the spectral line of the laser radiation. The device additionally comprises a rotating gradient mirror with an elliptical region in the centre having a coating with 100% reflection on the wavelength of the laser, while the peripheral region of the mirror has high transmission in the region of the spectrum outside the emission band of the laser. The device additionally comprises a rotating gradient mirror having a central elliptical aperture with 100% transmission of laser radiation and a broadband reflective coating on the periphery of the mirror. The device additionally comprises a source of illumination of the surface in the area subject to laser treatment, which source is optically connected to the galvanometer scanner and the video camera, wherein the wavelength of the radiation of said source is situated close to the line of radiation of the laser and in the spectral band of reflection of the mirrors of the galvanometer scanner.
