Title: Innovations of William J Jordens in Laser Processing Technology

Introduction

William J Jordens is a notable inventor based in Beaverton, OR (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of laser processing, holding a total of 11 patents. His work primarily focuses on the applications of acousto-optic deflectors in laser systems, which have advanced the capabilities of micromachining.

Latest Patents

One of Jordens' latest patents involves a laser processing system designed for micromachining workpieces. This system includes a laser source that generates laser pulses for processing features in a workpiece. It features a galvanometer-driven subsystem that imparts relative movement of a laser beam spot position along a processing trajectory. Additionally, the acousto-optic deflector (AOD) subsystem effectively widens the laser beam spot in a direction perpendicular to the processing trajectory. The AOD subsystem may consist of a combination of AODs and electro-optic deflectors. It can also vary the intensity profile of laser pulses based on the deflection position along a dither direction, allowing for selective shaping of features on the workpiece. This innovative shaping technique can intersect features on the workpiece and provide functionalities such as rastering, galvo error position correction, power modulation, and through-the-lens viewing and alignment.
