The invention concerns a method which can be carried out with a sensor device, for monitoring a laser machining operation to be performed on a work piece ( ), in which for quality assurance with a local-resolution receiver assembly ( ) a given field of observation ( ) is selected in the region of the interaction zone between laser beam ( ) and work piece ( ), in which radiation coming from the selected field of observation ( ) is detected with a radiation-sensitive receiver ( ) which delivers an electrical signal corresponding to the detected radiation, in which the electrical signal is filtered in a signal processing circuit ( ) in order to detect rapid and/or short, fault-related changes in intensity of the detected radiation, and in which the filtered electrical signal for the detection of faults during the laser machining operation.
