Abstract

A method of drilling a part, or a turbine engine part, by a pulse laser generator including a cavity in which there is mounted a solid bar for generating laser pulses, the method including determining values of a plurality of operating parameters of the laser generator for forming orifices of predetermined diameter in the part, and taking account, among the parameters, of a setpoint value for the temperature of the laser cavity, which value is determined as a function of characteristics of the orifices to be drilled.
