Abstract

See full text

Apparatus for laser treatment of a material includes a source that generates a laser beam which a lens focuses into a focused beam having a predetermined cross-sectional diameter defining a spot. A dichroic mirror directs the focused beam along an optical axis such that the spot is produced on the material for treatment. A video camera monitors the treatment of the material and has an optical path extending at least partially along the optical axis of the focused beam. A ring illuminator is disposed around the optical axis to directly illuminate the material.
