Medical Laser Applications: Defining Measurement Solutions That Keep the Process on Track
Wed, May 17, 2023 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EDT
As with any precision process, laser-based medical applications demand tight control of a laser’s behavior to keep the process on track but how is this implemented in applications? Mark Slutzki of Ophir, in addition to presenting interesting medical laser applications, maps out the process for identifying and configuring the appropriate monitoring and measurement solutions as well as the most intelligent approaches to implementation. This is often not a trivial task but the result is a model that can be used equally well in other laser applications. Slutzki shares how to define a laser process monitoring and controlling solution, using the medical field as a reference application but also considering the elements that are common to all laser-based applications. Presented by Ophir.
STOP Analysis with COMSOL Multiphysics®
Wed, May 31, 2023 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT
Optical systems often need to operate in harsh environments, including high altitudes, in space, and under water, where they are subjected to structural loads and extreme temperatures. Similarly, optical devices in high-powered laser and nuclear applications are also subjected to extreme conditions. The most accurate way to fully capture these environmental effects is through numerical simulation using structural-thermal-optical performance (STOP) analysis. This is a quintessential multiphysics problem. With STOP analysis, thermal expansion and the refractive index distribution can be fully coupled with changes to the ray optics trajectories, which is essential for laser-based manufacturing and the like. This presentation shares how to use COMSOL Multiphysics® and the Ray Optics Module to combine ray tracing simulations with structural and thermal analyses to form fully self-consistent STOP models. The webinar includes a live demo and time for questions. Presented by COMSOL.
