Abstract
This paper investigates a method to compensate for thermal distortions which occur during pulsed laser welding of optical packages. A control strategy, based on the use of a fast response piezo-actuator to maintain relative alignment between the fiber and the laser in the critical time period after application of the laser pulse and before cooling of the weld nugget is described. © 1996 by ASME.
