Abstract: A lidar test system includes a lensed fiber collector for receiving light pulses generated by a lidar sensor. A splitter is configured to split the light pulses received from the lensed fiber collector. A first optical fiber having a first length receives one of the split light pulses. A second optical fiber having a second length also receives one of the split light pulses. The second length of the second optical fiber is longer than the first length of the first optical fiber. A switch is configured to select light transmitted through one of the optical fibers to an optical output. A variable optical attenuator (“VOA”) is configured to regulate the intensity of the light received from the switch. The lidar test system also includes a diffuser target positioned to receive light from the VOA which may be imaged by a focal plane array of the lidar assembly.

Abstract: Laser radiation is used for removing brittle-hard material from a substrate without damaging the material. A removal depression having a flank angle w of the flanks of the removal depression forms in the material as a result of the removal. The removal depression forms with an entry edge, which is defined as a spatially expanded region of the surface of the material, where an unchanged and thus unremoved portion of the surface of the material transitions into the removal depression. Spatial portions of the laser radiation are refracted and focused into the volume of the unremoved material at this entry edge. The distribution of the laser radiation is set such that the entry edge assumes a small spatial expansion, such that the portion of the power of the laser radiation, which is captured by the focusing effect of the entry edge, is not sufficient to generate a threshold value ?damage for the electron density in the volume of the material, thus avoiding damage to the material.

Abstract: In a method and device for machining material, an unfocused beam of laser radiation is focused and directed at the material surface, creating an interface of laser radiation and material to be machined. The beam waist, which results from the focusing the laser radiation, is held in the region of the interface of laser radiation and material. The spacing of the beam waist from the upper or lower side of the interface in the axial direction corresponds at most to triple the value of the penetration depth of the interface into the material. The focusing is effected such that components of the laser radiation are made divergent not just in the propagation direction downstream of the beam waist but also in the beam waist itself and/or also in the propagation direction upstream of the beam waist.
