高功率固体激光近场强度功率谱密度特性分析

高功率固体激光驱动器的负载能力已经成为限制驱动器发展的瓶颈问题,负载能力研究的主要是激光束近场和光学元件的相互作用过程。采用功率谱密度(Power spectral density,PSD)方法分析了多程放大构型高功率固体激光驱动器实验输出近场强度的频谱在激光强度提升过程中的演变规律,分析了引起近场强度调制的主要因素。结果表明,高强度下,激光驱动器的输出近场存在明显的频谱特征,二维功率谱密度近似满足各向同性,近场调制主要源于小尺度自聚焦效应,PSD曲线显示获得增长的频率主要是各级空间滤波器截止频率所限定的频段。     

A two-dimensional diffraction pattern sampling system for determining the optimum parameters of a matched spatial filter

The synthesis of a matched spatial filter based on holographic methods requires that the spatial frequency band in which the holographic fringe pattern with the best modulation is formed be tuned to the appropriate weighting at the Fourier transform plane of the spatial frequencies of the input object to be studied. For this purpose both the spectral intensity distribution of an input object at the Fourier transform plane and the intensity distribution of a reference beam at that plane must be accurately known beforehand. A two-dimensional diffraction pattern sampling system has been constructed which enables the Fourier spectral intensity distribution of the input object and the reference beam intensity distribution to be faithfully recorded. A preliminary experimental study shows the usefulness of this system.

 X射线源的焦斑尺寸是反映杆箍缩二极管射线源成像性能的重要参数。利用针孔成像法对MeV级脉冲X射线源的焦斑进行了2维图像测量。厚针孔采用直孔段加单锥体结构,直孔段孔径为0.2 mm。对于0.5 MeV的X射线,5倍成像倍率下调制传递函数值为0.5时空间分辨达到2.0 lp·mm^-1。图像采集系统由闪烁体、物镜和CCD相机组成,物镜的成像倍率约0.34。实验结果经过模糊校正后,得到了焦斑的图像和调制传递函数。根据调制传递函数值为0.5时对应的空间频率值,给出X射线源焦斑的尺寸。阳极杆直径为1.2 mm时,X射线源焦斑的高斯分布等效直径为0.86 mm。     

无外加氟施主产生KrF准分子发射谱实验研究

We report a new technique to suppress the low-spatial-frequency rings and ripples (LSFRs) of laser near-field intensity distribution in the spatial filter (SF) used in ICF laser drivers. This technique employs a spatial filter with Gaussian transmission, instead of the hard-edged pinhole, at the confocal plane of a Newtonian telescope. The resulting beam has a super-Gaussian transverse intensity profile without the LSFRs that certainly appear when a hard-pinhole was used as a filter in the conventional technique.     

Evolution of low-frequency noise passing through a spatial filter in a high power laser system

The theoretical model of spatial noise passing through a spatial filter is established in high power laser system under the small signal approximation. The transmission characteristic for a noise signal passing through spatial filters with different magnifications is analyzed by numerical simulation, according to the actual structure of the high power laser system. The results show that the spatial modulation period of low-frequency noise getting through the pinhole will be proportional to the magnification...

为解决全场X射线荧光(XRF)成像中针孔形状和尺寸的选取问题,采用Geant4软件,模拟了6种不同类型针孔和4种不同的针孔孔径,分析了这些参数对点扩散函数和调制传递函数的影响;模拟了不同能量X射线荧光平面源的成像过程,并用均值滤波和Richardson迭代法对图像进行处理,分析了图像处理的效果。模拟结果表明:对于能量小于20 keV的荧光X射线,双锥孔结合直孔模型的点扩散函数尖锐性和等晕性更好,调制传递函数的截止频率更大,空间分辨更好,更适合做全场XRF成像的针孔;均值滤波结合Richardson迭代法的图像处理算法对全场XRF图像处理的效果较好。     

强激光束在柱面镜空间滤波器中的传输特性

为了解决空间滤波器滤波针孔堵孔问题,提出了一种新型柱面镜空间滤波器,新型柱面镜空间滤波器由柱面镜和狭缝构成。利用线性传输理论,对高功率激光束在新型柱面镜空间滤波器中的传输特性进行了数值模拟。结果表明:新型柱面镜空间滤波器的焦斑面积比传统滤波器大,而焦斑功率密度较小;新型柱面镜空间滤波器的滤波效果与传统滤波器相同,近场均匀性也相同。因此新型柱面镜空间滤波器能够抑制空间滤波器堵孔效应,可以缩短空间滤波器系统透镜焦距,从而提高功率装置的整体性价比。由此,采用新型柱面镜空间滤波器替换传统球面镜空间滤波器具有可行性。

Spot size measurement of a flash-radiography source using the pinhole imaging method

The spot size of the X-ray source is a key parameter of a flash-radiography facility, and is usually quoted as an evaluation of the resolving power. The pinhole imaging technique is applied to measure the spot size of the Dragon-I linear induction accelerator, by which a two-dimensional spatial distribution of the source spot is obtained.Experimental measurements are performed to measure the spot image when the transportation and focusing of the electron beam are tuned by adjusting the currents of solenoids in the downstream section. The spot size of full-width at half maximum and that defined from the spatial frequency at half peak value of the modulation transfer function are calculated and discussed.

高功率固体激光构型验证装置波前畸变及补偿特性

为了优化高功率固体激光装置波前补偿系统的设计方案,基于构型验证装置开展了波前测试和补偿实验。实验结果显示,虽然等效钕玻璃片数大大增加,但由于主放采用了"U"型反转器技术,扣除离焦量后的静态和动态波前与原型装置相比没有显著提高,主要变化为离焦分量。若不采取任何补偿措施,会影响激光在前级滤波器的顺利过孔,造成近场缺光现象。实验中,为保证激光在动态发射时顺利过孔,采用了调节透镜的方式,使激光在各级滤波小孔位置有合适的预留量。同时,利用原型装置现有的小口径变形镜对扣除离焦后的像差进行补偿,减小激光在末级滤波小孔位置的像差。综合上述两种方法,成功解决了近场缺光的问题。针对未来高功率固体激光装置,伴随着光束口径和等效钕玻璃片数的增加,主放大器内的像差也会大幅度增加,采用上述调节透镜的方式可能无法兼顾静态和动态两种状态下的通光问题,需要在主放大系统内增加主动补偿措施,为腔镜变形镜的应用提供了实验依据。

Phase retrieval and coherent diffraction imaging by a linear scanning pinhole sampling array

We propose a new method for phase retrieval and coherent diffraction imaging by a specially designed pinhole sampling array (PSA) based on a liquid crystal spatial light modulation. We demonstrate that the phase and the amplitude of the wave front passing through a pinhole sampling array plate can be directly extracted from the inverse Fourier transform of the far-field diffraction intensity pattern. Scanning the whole surface of the wave front by such a series of the PSA plates, we can assemble the extracted complex amplitude to a two-dimensional discrete distribution of the sampled wave front covering the entire PSA plate plane in the scanning consequence. We called it linear scanning pinhole sampling array (LSPSA). Thus the wave front can be reconstructed which avoids any iterative algorithms. Furthermore, it provides a feasible approach for lensless coherent diffraction imaging in real-time.     

Si Micromachined Pinhole and Surrounding Photodiode for Incident Beam Position Sensing and Automatic Alignment

The spatial filter of a Si micromachined pinhole integrated with photodiodes is fabricated. The photodiode cells placed around the center pinhole can detect the relative position between the incident beam spot and the pinhole. The position signal obtained from a two or four cell type photodiode and position sensitive detector show the sensitivity even when the beam spot is near the center pinhole. Combined with the feedback control of the shape memory alloy actuator based on the obtained position signal, the pinhole is aligned automatically.     

Propagation properties of Gaussian beams through cat eye optical lens with center shelter

Based on the method of matrix decomposition and expanding the aperture function into a sum of finite complex Gaussian functions, the analytical propagation equations of Gaussian beams through cat eye optical lens with center shelter are derived. Through numerical calculation, the laws governing the variation of the intensity distribution of the cat eye reflected light with the center shelter ratio and the diameter of the detector at the focal plane are given. The results show that the diffraction series and the intensity of the cat eye reflected light depend strongly on the center shelter ratio. As a further extension, it is found that the eye optical lens can be interpreted as a spatial filter, and different filter effect can be obtained by changing the pinhole size.
