Zusammenfassung:A laser drilling system (100) for drilling rocks, soil and engineering materials with the aid of high-intensity laser light is described, which comprises an optical drill (104) for supplying laser light for the drilling of said materials provided with sensors (106); a control and operations center (101) comprising computer and supervising software with integrated logic; a cooling and debris withdrawal system (105) an energy source (102); an energy conductor (103) provided with sensors (107) and laser systems (201) for emitting high-intensity laser light and optical fibers (123) for conducting the so-generated laser light, so that the information collected by sensors (106), (107) supply said control and operations center (101) and said control and operations center (101) determines improved operation conditions of the optical drill (104) for the drilling of said solid materials or mixtures of solid and liquid materials relative to state-of-the-art drilling systems. The drilling method employing the system of the invention is also described.
