FU Xing, LI Ji-kai, QI Hui. Autofocus system for invisible pulsed laser[J]. Editorial Office of Optics and Precision Engineering, 2017,25(10s): 12-19 DOI: 10.3788/OPE.20172513.0012.
It is more difficult for invisible laser to position locating and local autofocus in the invisible pulse laser processing system. In this paper
a useful laser processing system was introduced
and the methods of the position locating and autofocus were proposed based on the system. First
the image of the interaction between one pulse laser and the sample surface was captured by CCD. Then
the image was turned into binary image by a proper threshold value. Extracting the area of the light spot
the coordinate of the subpixel of the centroid of the focused laser spot was calculated by the gray centroid method. Meanwhile several operators were employed to evaluate the sharpness of the image in time domain
thus analyzing different components of the imagein the operators. Subsequently
the autofocus algorithm was presented based on the evaluation of green component of the sample surface with Sobel gradient operator.Furthermore
the local autofocus algorithm was proposed based on the local image centered with the focused laser spot rather than the whole image to reduce the error of the global autofocus algorithm. Experimental results show that the precision of the position locating algorithm is 1 pixeland the accuracy of the autofocus algorithm is 1
μ
m
which indicatethat the proposed autofocus methodcan improve the performance of laser processing systems to meet the increasing need of the laser processing.
