Item Open Access Die Kornstruktur und der Heißrisswiderstand von Laserstrahlschweißnähten in Aluminiumlegierungen(München : utzverlag, 2020) Hagenlocher, Christian; Graf, Thomas (Prof. Dr. phil. nat.)Die Kornstruktur einer Schweißnaht beeinflusst ihren Widerstand gegen die Bildung von Nahtmittenheißrissen. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde der übergreifende Zusammenhang zwischen Schweißparameter, Kornstruktur und Heißrisswiderstand beim Laserstrahlschweißen durch analytische Gleichungen beschrieben und das resultierende Modell experimentell validiert.Item Open Access A process-planning framework for sustainable manufacturing(2021) Reiff, Colin; Buser, Matthias; Betten, Thomas; Onuseit, Volkher; Hoßfeld, Max; Wehner, Daniel; Riedel, OliverProcess planning in manufacturing today focuses on optimizing the conflicting targets of cost, quality, and time. Due to increasing social awareness and subsequent governmental regulation, environmental impact becomes a fourth major aspect. Eventually, sustainability in manufacturing ensures future competitiveness. In this paper, a framework for the planning of sustainable manufacturing is proposed. It is based on the abstraction and generalization of manufacturing resources and part descriptions, which are matched and ranked using a multi-criteria decision analysis method. Manufacturing resources provide values for cost, quality, time and environmental impacts, which multiply with their usage within a manufacturing task for a specific part. The framework is validated with a detailed modeling of a laser machine as a resource revealing benefits and optimization potential of the underlying data model. Finally, the framework is applied to a use case of a flange part with two different manufacturing strategies, i.e., laser metal-wire deposition and conventional milling. The most influential parameters regarding the environmental impacts are the raw material input, the manufacturing energy consumption and the machine production itself. In general, the framework enabled the identification of non-predetermined manufacturing possibilities and the comprehensive comparison of production resources.Item Open Access Generation of a radially polarized beam in a polycrystalline ceramic Yb:Lu2O3 thin-disk laser(2023) Didychenko, Denys; Esser, Stefan; Beirow, Frieder; Savchenko, Anton; Pruss, Christof; Graf, Thomas; Abdou Ahmed, MarwanAbstractWe report on the generation of a continuous-wave (CW) radially polarized beam with an Yb:Lu2O3 polycrystalline ceramic disk in a thin-disk laser (TDL) oscillator. A circular grating-waveguide mirror (CGWM) with a high polarization discrimination given by a reflectivity difference between the two orthogonal polarization states of 44.6% was used as a polarization-selective cavity end-mirror. An output power of 175 W was achieved with an optical efficiency of 39.6%. A high degree of radial polarization of 96.2% and a beam propagation factor of M2hor. = 2.05 and M2ver. = 2.32 were measured at the maximum output power.Item Open Access Experimental analysis on CPA-free thin-disk multipass amplifiers operated in a helium-rich atmosphere(2022) Bienert, Florian; Loescher, André; Röcker, Christoph; Graf, Thomas; Abou Ahmed, MarwanEs wird der Einfluss von Helium als atmosphärisches Gas in Scheibenlaser-multipass-Ultrakurzpulsverstärkern untersucht.Item Open Access Detrimental effects of period-chirped gratings in pulse compressors(2023) Bienert, Florian; Röcker, Christoph; Dietrich, Tom; Graf, Thomas; Abdou Ahmed, MarwanItem Open Access Impact of repetitive, ultra-short soft X-ray pulses from processing of steel with ultrafast lasers on human cell cultures(2024) Holland, Julian; Lungu, Cristiana; Weber, Rudolf; Emperle, Max; Graf, ThomasUltrafast lasers, with pulse durations below a few picoseconds, are of significant interest to the industry, offering a cutting-edge approach to enhancing manufacturing processes and enabling the fabrication of intricate components with unparalleled accuracy. When processing metals at irradiances exceeding the evaporation threshold of about 10 10 W/cm² these processes can generate ultra-short, soft X-ray pulses with photon energies above 5 keV. This has prompted extensive discussions and regulatory measures on radiation safety. However, the impact of these ultra-short X-ray pulses on molecular pathways in the context of living cells, has not been investigated so far. This paper presents the first molecular characterization of epithelial cell responses to ultra-short soft X-ray pulses, generated during processing of steel with an ultrafast laser. The laser provided pulses of 6.7 ps with a pulse repetition rate of 300 kHz and an average power of 500 W. The irradiance was 1.95 ×10 13 W/cm 2 . Ambient exposure of vitro human cell cultures, followed by imaging of the DNA damage response and fitting of the data to a calibrated model for the absorbed dose, revealed a linear increase in the DNA damage response relative to the exposure dose. This is in line with findings from work using continuous wave soft X-ray sources and suggests that the ultra-short X-ray pulses do not generate additional hazard. This research contributes valuable insights into the biological effects of ultrafast laser processes and their potential implications for user safety.
