Abstract

A method for laser welding of a workpiece includes providing a laser beam using a laser beam source, collimating the laser beam using a collimation optical unit, reshaping the collimated laser beam using a reshaping optical unit, and focusing the reshaped laser beam using a focusing unit. The focused laser beam is directed onto the workpiece to be welded. The reshaping optical unit has a first partial region in which at least one part of at least one axicon is embodied. At least a part of a beam cross-section of the collimated laser beam is directed onto the partial region of the reshaping optical unit.
