长脉冲高能激光能量测试技术的研究

用锥形腔量热式激光能量计,测量了在不同脉冲宽度条件下,脉冲激光能量和激光吸收腔温升之间的关系,并用传统的方法得到不同激光能量对应的温升,并按照有关公式计算得到激光能量,结果表明实际激光能量和按传统方法计算得到的激光能量之间存在较大的差距;我们从理论上分析了由于热辐射、热传导影响,得出锥形吸收腔时间温度曲线关系的数学模型;用该数学模型对测量得到温度时间曲线进行最小二乘法拟合,拟合曲线和实际曲线非常吻合;通过该曲线我们对测量结果进行修正,和传统数据处理方法比较,该方法得到的结果更接近真值.     

现场用激光能量计校准方法的实验研究

在激光功率能量测量当中,军用激光现场检测环境温度和实验室环境温度相差很大,而激光能量计的传感器灵敏度与环境温度条件有关,不对激光能量计进行温度灵敏度校准,将严重影响测量结果。针对目前存在的问题,本文提出将激光能量计放置于温控制箱中,脉冲激光器输出的激光经过分光镜分束后分为2束激光,其中透射光由标准能量计或现场激光能量计接收,反射光由参考能量计接收,在-50℃～70℃的温度范围内进行校准的一种新方法,并进行原理性的验证实验及结果分析,得到了能量计灵敏度系数关于环境温度的函数关系,使得能量计在非标准环境下进行准确测量成为可能。为激光能量计现场测试校准技术的研究提供了一种可靠的新途径。     

A novel time-integral type laser energy meter based on anisotropic Seebeck effect

We have posed the design of a time-integral type laser energy meter based on anisotropic Seebeck effect for the first time. Anisotropic Seebeck effect is responsible for the laser-induced thermoelectric voltage effect in high temperature superconductor (HTSC) cuprates and colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) manganites thin films grown on tilted single crystal substrates. In this study, for an example, an epitaxial La_2/3Ca_1/3MnO₃ thin film prepared on a tilted LaAlO₃ substrate by standard pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) method is tested with a 1064-nm Q-switched Nd:YAG laser and its 2nd (532 nm), 3rd (355 nm), and 4th (266 nm) harmonics from room temperature to 16 K. The integral of the voltage signal with time shows a good linear relation with the laser energy per pulse in the measured wavelength and temperature range, which confirms the theoretical analysis given in this letter and can be used to design a time-integral type laser energy meter. The sensitivity increases as the film thickness increases or as the thermal diffusion constant decreases, which makes the time-integral type laser energy meter low cost as compared with the peak-voltage type. It operates with fast (nanosecond range) and broad-spectrum (from infrared to ultraviolet) response in wide temperature range (from room temperature to 10s K), and can be useful replacements for pyroelectric power/energy meters.
