The use of holographic optical elements (HOE's) to investigate the use of a flat irradiance profile in the control of heat absorption in wire-fed laser cladding

This work investigates the use of holographic optical elements (HOE's) to control the applied heat profile and thermal absorption of a wire used for laser cladding. The two thermal distributions compared were a circular beam with a Gaussian heat profile (Gaussian beam) and a square beam with a...
