18、 the United Kingdom. BS EN 4650:2010EN 4650:2010 (E) 4 Introduction Ultraviolet (UV) laser wire marking was developed in 1987 to provide a safe, permanent means of marking thin wall insulations; it is now the aerospace industry standard method for marking wire identification codes on to the surface

19、of electrical wires and cables. It provides a simple, convenient, environmentally friendly, cost effective means of marking and identifying wires and jacketed cables. While a few larger airframe manufacturers have developed process standards and specifications for their own use during the introducti

20、on of this technology, there has been variability in the issues covered within these specifications and there has been no comprehensive standard process document developed for general use. The intended use of this document is to serve directly as a process standard for use by laser wire marking conc

21、erns. It can also serve as a model set of comprehensive requirements for use by organizations who intend to develop in-house laser marking process specifications or serve as a means for evaluating the adequacy and completeness of such specifications by procuring activities.

28、the marking of airframe electrical wires and cables using ultraviolet (UV) lasers. The laser process practices defined in this standard are mandatory. 3.2 Terms and definitions 3.2.1 cable electrical cable, unless noted as a fibre optic cable (two or more insulated conductors, solid or stranded, con

29、tained in a common covering, or two or more insulated conductors twisted or moulded together without common covering, or one insulated conductor with a metallic covering shield or outer conductor) 3.2.2 component electrical wire or multi-conductor cable or fibre optic cable 3.2.3 contrast measuremen

31、s outside of its defined specification or is otherwise unacceptable 3.2.5 excimer gas laser deriving its name from the term “excited dimer“ NOTE The laser is energized by means of an electrical discharge in a specialized mixture of rare gases and halogens. Excimer lasers are available operating at a

32、 number of discrete wavelengths throughout the UV, the most common of which are 193 nm, 248 nm, 308 nm and 351 nm. The wavelength is dependant only on the gas mix used; 308 nm is commonly used for UV laser wire marking. 3.2.6 fibre optic cable cable that is designed to transmit light waves between a

33、 light transmission source and a receiver NOTE In signal applications, the transmitter and receiver include devices that are used to convert between optical and electronic pulses. Typical cables include a glass or plastic core, a layer of cladding having a lower refractive index to refract or totall

Typical host materials are specialized crystal materials, such as Yttrium Aluminium Garnet (YAG), Yttrium Lithium Fluoride (YLF) and Y

44、ttrium Vanadate (YVO4). These lasers are commonly referred to as Nd:YAG, Nd:YLF and Nd:YVO4 respectively. The primary wavelength of Nd solid state lasers is in the infrared (IR) at a wavelength of approximately 1 064 nm. The IR output of such lasers can be conveniently reduced to lower wavelengths s
