Abstract

UV-Visible spectrometer is used to record emission from magnesium and titanium metal plates during laser welding processing. Geometrically corrected Czerny-Turner configurations nearly eliminate defocusing problem. The Optikwerks software is used to find the optimum Czerny-Turner configuration and to choose optical elements such as grating types, mirrors focal length and diameter, and slit width. The design parameters of the uv-visible spectrometer in the wavelength range 200-1100 nm for monitoring laser material welding processing.
