Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper presents some aspects concerning use of pulse laser source for precise machining of Al2O3 crystals for medical applications. The scheme of laser beam manipulation and the test stand has been presented. Application of the mathematical model enabled determination of values of basic sapphire machining parameters. Presented results gave rough information about dynamics of the process and were used for the test stand designing, development as well as determination of machining precision.
