Manufacturing Methods and Technology Engineering for Neodymium Doped YAG Laser Rods.
Abstract
The planning of the effort and initial work on the batch fabrication of Nd:YAG laser rods were accomplished. The primary objectives of the work were to complete design of the polishing fixture and select an initial manufacturing process. The polishing fixture designed is capable of holding sixteen laser rods within the required tolerances during the grinding and polishing process. The polishing process selected, based upon prior work, consists of three separate grinding steps and two polishing steps. All work is to be accomplished at a single work station. (Author)
