K9玻璃在脉冲CO2激光作用下的热应力分析

根据已建立的理论模型,计算得到了K9玻璃受脉冲CO2激光辐照时产生的热应力分布,研究了热应力的时间特征,在分析样品尺寸对损伤结果影响的基础上,提出了K9玻璃抗激光损伤的最佳半径。结果表明：K9玻璃产生的热应力损伤主要由环向应力控制,热应力以热冲击波的形式在样品内传播,大小随时间变化而来回振荡,且激光脉冲结束后比激光作用时间内产生的热应力要大。这说明若样品在激光加热期间产生的热应力不足以造成材料破坏,则有可能会在其后的冷却过程中产生更大的热应力,材料将会在冷却过程中发生破裂。根据样品参数对损伤结果的影响,进一步验证了K9玻璃抗激光损伤最佳半径的通用性。

激光辐照引起的材料温度场和热应力场的瞬态分布

 光电探测器吸收激光后的温升以及因温升造成的各种现象,致使探测器遭受到不同程度的损伤。利用热弹性理论对CO2激光器辐照K9玻璃材料进行研究,建立激光辐照材料温升及热应力分布二维平面模型,通过解析计算得到由激光辐照半导体材料引起的温度场和应力场的瞬态分布。研究表明, K9玻璃材料的激光辐照损伤阀值与辐照时间和光斑半径相关。在同一条件下,造成的热应力损伤阀值较熔融损伤的低,故K9玻璃材料的破坏形态为热应力破坏。      

脉冲CO2激光辐照K9玻璃的热力效应分析

利用有限元法对脉冲CO2激光辐照K9玻璃样品中的温度和应力分布进行了数值分析。对半径为20mm、厚为2mm的圆盘样品的计算结果表明,K9玻璃的损伤由环向应力控制,体损伤先于面损伤产生,且光斑半径和脉冲数目对损伤闽值有较大的影响,在激光光斑半径为5mm,脉宽为10肛s的条件下K9玻璃的单脉冲CO2激光的损伤闽值为0．5J,相应的能量密度为0．637 J／cm^2。损伤闽值随光斑半径的增大而增大,随脉冲数目的增加而变小。讨论了样品半径和厚度对损伤结果的影响,结果表明样品半径在10-20mm范围内所产生的拉伸应力较小。     

多脉冲激光对K9玻璃的表面损伤实验研究

 实验研究了波长为1 064 nm、脉宽为10 ns、重复频率为1 Hz的激光脉冲对K9玻璃的表面损伤特点,给出了脉冲透过能量随激光脉冲作用次数变化的规律。采用3维立体显微镜对损伤形貌进行观察,发现K9玻璃的损伤表面呈环状分布,分为烧蚀区、微裂纹区和断裂区。随着激光脉冲个数的增加,损伤由点状破坏演变为损伤区,微裂纹逐渐增长,损伤面积逐渐增大。基于激光支持的爆轰波理论分析,激光与脆性材料的相互作用可引起微裂纹的大量增长。在多脉冲激光的作用下,K9玻璃损伤的累积效应明显,表面损伤阈值明显降低,表面裂纹增长明显,损伤面积逐渐增大;但随着激光脉冲的继续增加,这种损伤趋于稳定。     

Laser cleaning of particle and grease contaminations on the surface of optics

In the high power laser facility, surface contaminations on the optics will worsen the laser beam quality and damage the optics. Particle and grease contaminations are two of the usual contaminations on the surface of optics. In this work, the 1064-nm laser induced plasma shockwave cleaning is utilized to remove SiO₂ particle contaminations on the K9 glass surface. The results indicate the removal ratio can reach above 95%. The effects of parameters (particle position, laser gap distance and laser energy) on the cleaning efficiency have been studied in the case of single pulse laser cleaning. In addition, CO₂ laser (10.6 μm) is utilized to remove the dimethylsilicone oil contaminations on the gold-coated K9 glass surface. The results show that CO₂ laser can effectively remove the dimethylsilicone oil by properly controlling the laser parameters. The cleaned area increases with the increased laser power or irradiation time when the other parameters are constant.     

Laser cleaning of glass

The pulse lasers, YAG-, CO₂-, and N₂-lasers, are examined for use in the cleaning of glass. Cleaning is found to be due to the evaporation and sputtering of stains on the glass by the heat energy of the laser light. Only the N₂ laser can be used for the cleaning of the exit surface of the glass (the opposite side to the laser). A laser with a high peak power of about 10⁶J/s and short-pulse duration below 100 ns is found to be necessary in practice.     

CO2 laser cleaning of black deposits formed during the excimer laser etching of polyimide in air

Pulsed CO₂ laser cleaning of black debris formed during the excimer laser ablation of polyimide in air is demonstrated. The 10.6 m CO₂ laser radiation is strongly absorbed in the debris but only weakly absorbed in polyimide thus enabling the clean removal of the debris without damaging the polyimide.     

Laser plasma shockwave cleaning of SiO2 particles on gold film

A Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm) induces optical breakdown of the airborne above the gold-coated K9 glass surface and the created shockwave removes the SiO₂ particles contaminated on the gold films. The laser cleaning efficiency has been characterized by optical microscopy, dark field imaging, ultraviolet-visible-near infrared spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and the Image-pro software. The relationships between removal ratio and particle position and laser gap distance have been studied in the case of single pulse laser cleaning. The results show that the 1064 nm laser induced plasma shockwave can effectively remove the SiO₂ particles. The removal ratio can reach above 90%. The effects of particle position and laser gap distance on the cleaning efficiency are simulated for the single pulse laser cleaning. The simulated results are consistent with the experimental ones.     

Interaction of CO2 laser radiation with glasses

An illustration of an interaction of pulsed multimode TEA CO₂ laser radiation, through or without a mask, as well as of a laser scanning process of a frequency Q-modulated cw CO₂ laser beam on glass surfaces has been shown. As an object of investigation glass articles with composition as a standard industrial potassium-boron silicate glass, we have used. A complex of investigations shows that the laser treatment leads to qualitative constant changes (well defined peeling structure) depending on the time surface treatment, defocusing and the pulse length of the laser output.     

Temperature prediction for CO2 laser heating of moving glass rods

This paper presents a heat transfer model to calculate the temperature field in moving glass rods heated by a CO₂ laser. Conduction and radiation heat transfer in radial and axial directions are taken into account in the current model. The Rosseland diffusion approximation is incorporated to analyze the radiation heat transfer in the glass rod. A two-band model is used to simulate the spectral property of the glass. Results of the simulation show that glass rods of sufficiently large optical thickness should be treated as a semitransparent medium for radiative transfer, and it is reasonably accurate to assume it to be opaque to CO₂ laser irradiation. It has been shown that the resulting temperature profile is strongly dependent on the laser parameters, i.e., the size of laser beam and the power of the laser. The diameter and speed of the moving glass rod are also important in determining the temperature field although the convective heat transfer coefficient between the glass rod and the environment has little effect.     

Pulsed infrared radiation transmission through chalcogenide glass fibers

Two different kinds of chalcogenide glass IR fibers were evaluated relative to transmission of pulsed IR radiation produced by several laser sources in the wavelength range from 1 to 10 μm. Fibers composed either from As-Se-Te or from As₂S₃ glass, of 250, 500, 750 and 1000 μm and 250, 750 and 1000 μm core diameters were studied, respectively. Attenuation measurements were obtained as a function of the laser energy input and as a function of curvature, wherever this was possible. The output beam quality was also studied using a beam profiler. The lasers used were a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, emitting at 1.06 μm, a free-running or Q-switched Er:YAG laser emitting at 2.94 μm and a tunable pulsed CO₂ laser emitting in the range of 9.3-10.6 μm. The fibers exhibited better behavior when tested with the Er:YAG laser and they were found fragile in pulsed radiation from the Nd:YAG and the CO₂ laser. The output beam profiles generally showed a central multi-spiking energy distribution.     

IR operated novel Ag0.98Cu0.02GaGe3Se8 single crystals

In this work, we report on the structural and optical properties of novel Ag_0.98Cu_0.02GaGe₃Se₈ single crystals that were synthesized by the Bridgman–Stockbarger technique. We have performed illumination by 10.6 μm CO₂ pulsed laser working in the microsecond time duration regime. Such illumination allows causing substantial changes for both pure electronic nonlinear optical effects like optical second harmonic generation as well as piezooptical effects described by the fourth rank tensors. The measurements of the piezo-optical effects were carried out at different temperatures. The effects are observed only during the IR CO₂ laser illumination and are disappeared after switching off the illumination. Simultaneously the IR induced optical second harmonic generation at Er:glass laser fundamental wavelength 1540 nm was performed during illumination by nanosecond Nd:YAG and Er³⁺:glass laser. The observed effects allow to use the studied materials as promising for IR-optoelectronic devices.     

Third harmonic generation of CO2 laser radiation in AgGaSe2 crystal

Generation of third harmonic of CO₂ laser radiation has been obtained in a type-II, ϑ=57° cut 9 mm thick AgGaSe₂ crystal for the first time by sum-frequency-mixing of the fundamental with its second harmonic, the latter being obtained using another type-I, ϑ=55° cut 11 mm thick AgGaSe₂ crystal. The energy conversion efficiencies obtained for second harmonic and third harmonic generations are 6.3% and 2.4% respectively with the input fundamental pump power density of 5.9 MW/cm² only. The wavelength of the fundamental CO₂ laser radiation used for the generation of harmonics is 10.6 μm, P(20) line. A compact TEA CO₂ laser source has been built in the laboratory.
