The Institut für Strahlwerkzeuge (IFSW) of the University of Stuttgart, founded in 1986, is reputed as one of the leading laser research centres worldwide. Its strength is based on a holistic research approach covering every aspect from laser sources to their applications and ranging from fundamental investigations to industrial technology transfer. The main activities at the IFSW are currently concerned with selected topics in the fields of laser beam sources (especially the thin-disk laser), optical elements and components for beam delivery and beam shaping as well as fundamental investigations on the light-matter interaction with the subsequent process development of macro and micro applications for industrial manufacturing.

Buser, Matthias; Henn, Manuel; Schneller, Lukas; Hummel, Marc; Beckmann, Felix; Hagenlocher, Christian; Graf, Thomas, 2025, "Depth progress of ultrafast laser drilling measured by means of X-ray synchrotron imaging", https://doi.org/10.18419/DARUS-4561, DaRUS, V1
This dataset contains sets of video frames taken from synchrotron x-ray videos of laser drilling with an ultrafast laser in 1.4301 stainless steel. The x-ray videos show the crossectional distribution of material density and thickness in the plane of the borehole axis. Each set is packaged in a multipage tiff file and contains selected video frames...

Schneller, Lukas; Henn, Manuel; Buser, Matthias, 2024, "Setup for High-Speed Synchrotron X-Ray Imaging of Laser Drilling at the DESY", https://doi.org/10.18419/DARUS-4348, DaRUS, V1
The image shows the High-Speed Synchrotron X-Ray Imaging setup at the Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron (DESY) in Hamburg. It is used to capture X-ray imaging sequences of a laser drilling process with an ultrafast Yb:YAG laser with an output wavelength of 1030 nm. The polarization could be adjusted by two λ/4 and λ/2 waveplates which were placed be...

Wagner, Jonas; Hagenlocher, Christian; Weber, Rudolf; Hummel, Marc; Beckmann, Felix; Moosmann, Julian; Graf, Thomas, 2024, "Synchrotron X-ray video of full-penetration laser welding of aluminum AA1050A", https://doi.org/10.18419/DARUS-3860, DaRUS, V1
The video shows a synchrotron x-ray video of full-penetration laser welding of the aluminum alloy AA1050A (Al99.5). At the beginning of the video the transition from partial penetration welding with a keyhole which is closed at its bottom to full-penetration welding with a keyhole which is opened at its bottom can be observed. The images show that...

Hagenlocher, Christian, 2022, "Python implementation of heat accumulation equations for additive manufacturing", https://doi.org/10.18419/DARUS-2609, DaRUS, V1
This is a python implementation of the heat accumulation equations, which describe the increase of the residual temperature in additive manufacturing. The Derivation of the equations is described in the related paper given below. If you run the script in the console, it creates two text-files and four plots in .png format. Process parameter and mat...

At the X-ray facility at the IFSW, so far it has been possible to record videos with a framerate of 1 kHz to 3 kHz. In this setup the X-rays propagate through the workpiece and are filmed by the high-speed camera via a projection on the scintilator. Through a new sample formation and using less attenuating sample material, frame rates of 10 kHz cou...
