摘要
The mechanisms of interaction between pulsed laser and materials are complex and indistinct,severely infuencing the stability and quality of laser processing.This paper proposes an intelligent method based on the acoustic emission(AE)technique to monitor laser processing and explore the interaction mechanisms.The validation experiment is designed to perform nanosecond laser dotting on foat glass.Processing parameters are set diferently to generate various outcomes:ablated pits and irregular-shaped cracks.In the signal processing stage,we divide the AE signals into two bands,main and tail bands,according to the laser processing duration,to study the laser ablation and crack behavior,respectively.Characteristic parameters extracted by a method that combines framework and frame energy calculation of AE signals can efectively reveal the mechanisms of pulsed laser processing.The main band features evaluate the degree of laser ablation from the time and intensity scales,and the tail band characteristics demonstrate that the cracks occur after laser dotting.In addition,from the analysis of the parameters of the tail band very large cracks can be efciently distinguished.The intelligent AE monitoring method was successfully applied in exploring the interaction mechanism of nanosecond laser dotting foat glass and can be used in other pulsed laser processing felds.
