Abstract: A surface treatment nozzle for laser irradiation, with the supply of material in powder form is characterized in that it is essentially constituted, on the one hand, by a nozzle body (1) provided with a truncated conical passage (2) that converges in the direction of the outlet of the nozzle (3) along the propagation axis (6') of the laser beam (6) and, on the other hand, by a coaxial injection device (4) for guidance of the materials (5) in powder form carried by a transport fluid within the nozzle body (1) so as to improve the interaction between the incident laser beam (6) and the materials (5) in powder form.

Abstract: A device for analyzing the distribution of energy within a power laser beam includes a thermoelectric receiver (1) directly exposed to the laser beam (2) and delivering electrical signals to an intermediate demultiplexer and amplifier device. The device operates in continuous mode and in impulse mode, the thermoelectric receiver being constituted by a sealed body (5) whose surface turned toward the source of the laser beam is metallic and constitutes, in cooperation with metallic wires (7), the support of the thermocouples. The wires (7) pass in sealed manner through the surface (8) of the body (5) opposite the surface turned toward the source of the laser beam (2), and the body (5) is provided moreover with two openings (9) for circulation of a cooling fluid.
