There are provided high power laser and laser mechanical earth removing equipment, and operations using laser cutting tools having stand off distances. These equipment provide high power laser beams, greater than 1 kW to cut and volumetrically remove targeted materials and to remove laser affected material with gravity assistance, mechanical cutters, fluid jets, scrapers and wheels. There is also provided a method of using this equipment in mining, road resurfacing and other earth removing or working activities.

High power laser tunneling mining and construction equipment and methods of use

There are provided high power laser cutting tools, optics assembly and laser beam configurations having long stand off distances, which provide high power laser beams, greater than 1 kW, to cut and volumetrically remove targeted materials. There is also provided methods of using these tools using a beam delivery angle that provides for molten material to be removed by flowing out of the targeted material.
