Attenuation of laser radiation by the flame of burning hydrocarbons and efficiency of remote cutting of metals

Abstract

Abstract.Mobile laser technological complex MLTC-20 with radiation power 20 kW and radiation wavelength 1.07 µm created in SRC RF TRINITI on the base of a three cw fiber Yb lasers is used successfully at remote cutting of the metalworks at carrying out of the emergency-reduction works on the out of control gas wells. In this work the results of the investigation of the possibility and the efficiency of laser radiation application for remote cutting of metals on the emergency oil wells have been presented.
