    Carbon dioxide laser-processed components find their way into almost all areas of a typical vehicle.
    FIGURE 1. Less than 0.1 µm shift perpendicular to the device axis are achieved for the fiber coupling of a blue laser diode. Less critical penetration welds on the sleeve and ferrule (1) are followed by the precision fillet welds between sleeve flange and housing (2). Three weld optics symmetrically oriented under 120° produce weld spots with 200 µm diameter and ensure balanced introduction of minimum energy.
