Abstract
Today, mask based laser materials processing and especially
marking is widely used. However, the energy efficiency in such
processes is very low [1].This paper gives a review of the
results, that may be obtained using the energy enhancing technique
[1]. Results of simulations performed with a thoroughly tested
ray-tracing model is presented and compared with experimental
results. Special emphasis is put on two different applications
namely marking in metal with TEA-CO2 laser and marking in glass
with excimer laser. The results are evaluated on the basis of the
achievable energy enhancement and the uniformity of the mask
illumination. The prospects of developing a commercial product is
discussed.
