<p>A thermally efficient laser head including a laser housing, a heat exchanger disposed so as to be associated with the laser housing, wherein the combination of the laser housing (12) and the heat exchanger (4) includes a structurally neutral axis and a thermal force centroid axis, wherein the centroid axis and the neutral axis are disposed within different planes and a thermal tuning element, wherein the thermal tuning element is disposed relative to the heat exchanger (4) and the laser housing (12) so as to cause the centroid axis and the neutral axis to be disposed within coincidental planes. A laser assembly including a laser head (2) having a longitudinal axis, wherein the laser head (2) includes a laser housing (12) and a heat exchanger (4), wherein the laser housing (12) is thermally associated with the heat exchanger and a support structure, wherein the support strucure is unbendingly associated with the laser assembly so as to allow the laser head (2) to expand along the longitudinal axis. A thermally neutral laser head (2) including a structural neutral axis and a thermally induced force centroid axis, wherein the thermally neutral laser head (2) is designed such that the thermally induced force centroid axis is coincidental with the structural neutral axis. A thermally neutral laser head (2) including a structural neutral axis having a thermal profile and a thermally induced force centroid axis, wherein the thermal profile is tuned such that the thermally induced force centroid axis is coincidental with the structural neutral axis.</p> |
