Abstract
The invention relates to an adapter for coupling a laser treatment device to an object for treatment, whereby the adapter has an input side, which may be fixed relative to the laser treatment device, by a locking mechanism and which may be fixed to the object, for alignment of the object relative to the laser treatment device. A scanned laser beam is introduced on the input side, from the laser treatment device, along a beam path to the object with a reference structure. The reference structure lies on the beam path of the adapter and may be optically detected by means of the laser beam scanned over the region.

22. An adapter for coupling a laser treatment device with an object to be treated, comprising:
-
an adapter input side, the adapter being fixateable relative to the laser treatment device via a locking mechanism;
the adapter being capable of transmitting a laser beam to the object along an adapter beam path, the laser beam having been supplied to the adapter input side and scanned over a region;
a reference structure, the reference structure being located in the adapter beam path and optically detectable by laser radiation scanned across the region; and
wherein the adapter can be brought into contact with the object to position the object relative to the laser treatment device. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)

38. Laser treatment device comprising:
-
an adapter, having an adapter input side, the adapter being fixatable relative to the laser processing device via a locking mechanism, the adapter being capable of being brought into contact with the object to position the object relative to the laser treatment device, wherein the adapter transmits a laser beam to the object along an adapter beam path, the laser beam having been supplied to the adapter input side by the laser treatment device and scanned over a region; and
a reference structure located in the adapter beam path;
a beam deflecting unit for scanning a laser beam over the region;
a detecting unit for optical detection of the reference structure by the laser beam; and

41. A laser treatment device for application of laser energy to a deformable surface of an object, the laser treatment device comprising
an adapter having an adapter input side, which can be fixated via a locking mechanism; -
the adapter being capable of transmitting a laser beam to the object along an adapter beam path, said laser beam having been supplied to the adapter input side and scanned over a region and the adapter including a reference structure, the reference structure being located in the adapter beam path and optically detectable by laser radiation scanned across the region;
the adapter including an adapter output side which can be brought into contact with the deformable surface to position the object relative to the laser treatment device and which imparts a desired shape to the deformable surface when the adapter is in contact with the object, and wherein the reference structure comprises marking structures which encode information about the adapter;
a beam deflecting unit for scanning a laser beam over the region, a detecting unit for optical detection of the marking structures by the laser beam, and a control unit which receives output from the detecting unit, controls the beam deflecting unit, determines the information about the adapter and considers the information when controlling the beam deflecting unit. - View Dependent Claims (42, 43)
