 采用3维时域有限差分方法和完全匹配吸收层,模拟了长方体缺陷在熔石英前后表面时对入射激光为TM波的调制作用,绘出了截面上的电场强度分布及最大电场强度随熔石英深度变化的曲线,并进行了比较和分析。结果表明：缺陷在前表面上时,后表面附近的最大电场强度2.522 41 V/m大于缺陷附近的1958 83 V/m;缺陷在后表面上时,材料中的最大电场强度为2.799 38 V/m,且出现在后表面附近。无论该缺陷在前表面还是在后表面,最大电场强度都是出现在后表面附近,表明光学材料的后表面在一定程度上更容易被损伤。     

熔石英亚表面横向划痕调制作用的3维模拟

建立了熔石英后表面3维横向划痕模型,并采用3维时域有限差分方法对熔石英亚表面划痕周围的电场强度进行了数值模拟,分析了划痕宽度、深度、长度以及划痕倾斜角度对入射光场的调制作用,结果表明:随划痕深度和划痕长度的增加,熔石英内的最大电场强度增大,且当划痕长度达到1μm以上时,最大电场强度趋于稳定;划痕结构因子在1~2之间的划痕较容易引起熔石英损伤;而入射激光在划痕界面和后表面之间发生内全反射时,后表面上的光强增强效果更加明显,因此减少角度范围在20.9°~45°之内的划痕能大幅提高熔石英的损伤阈值。

裂纹或气泡对熔石英损伤修复坑场调制的近场模拟

建立了含有裂纹或气泡的高斯型修复坑的3维模型, 用3维时域有限差分方法研究了熔石英后表面该类缺陷对355 nm入射激光的近场调制. 研究表明, 裂纹的调制明显大于气泡或者高斯坑本身, 因此为了抑制修复元件的初始损伤, 应尽量避免任何未修复的裂纹存在, 尤其是与入射光呈夹角约25°的裂纹, 同时应避免尺寸大于5 λ 的气泡存在. 当裂纹或气泡位于近表面层3 λ 以内且靠近修复坑环边缘时, 对场的调制最明显. 随着侧移的增加, 近表面区缺陷诱导场叠加, 强点总数涨落较大且易形成极大峰值, 特别是含有裂纹的情形; 远表面区强点总数逐渐增大并趋于稳定. 随着嵌深的增加, 强点的数目大体呈减弱趋势, 当嵌深大于3 λ 时, 逐渐趋于平缓振荡. 如果裂纹或气泡位于坑点正下方几个波长内, 激光辐照下其效果相当于延长了高斯坑的深度.

划痕缺陷对熔融石英光诱导损伤特性的影响分析

激光辐照光学材料时,经后表面反射的部分光束与入射光束干涉,在材料内部形成驻波场.若材料表面存在缺陷,缺陷会对入射光进行调制,导致材料内驻波场分布不再均匀,局部区域光强增大.为分析光学材料的场损伤特性,建立了一个划痕缺陷影响下的光学材料损伤分析模型.从电子增值理论出发,分析了划痕数量及其所在位置对材料驻波场和损伤特性的影响,并针对熔融石英材料进行了具体计算.结果表明,在入射光场不变的前提下,随着划痕数量增加,对光场的调制作用增强,材料内部驻波场的最大场强增大,熔融石英损伤阈值降低.相对亚表面和后表面划痕缺陷而言,材料上表面的缺陷对光场具有最大的调制作用,因此更容易导致材料损伤.     

熔石英表面划痕附近电磁场分布模拟分析

 亚表面缺陷是造成固体激光器光学器件损伤阈值过低的重要原因，而表面划痕是缺陷中重要的一种。使用时域有限差分方法（FDTD）模拟了熔石英表面圆柱形、三角形划痕对激光电磁场的调制作用，绘出了2维电磁场强度分布图，计算出划痕尺寸不同时电磁场的最大强度。数值计算结果表明，尺寸为二倍波长的划痕可以获得最大的电磁场强度，此时容易导致自聚焦；亚波长级和足够大尺寸的划痕作用基本可以忽略。一定尺寸的划痕，深度越大，最大场强也越大，但当划痕过深时最大场强反而会降低。

Effect of fused silica subsurface defect site density on light intensification

The effect of defect density on the modulation of incident laser waves is investigated. First, based on the actual defect distribution in the subsurface of fused silica, a three-dimensional (3D) grid model of defect sites is constructed. The 3D finite-difference time-domain method is developed to solve the Maxwell equations. Then the electrical field intensity in the vicinity of the defect sites in the subsurface of fused silica is numerically calculated. The relationships between the maximal electrical field intensity in fused silica and the geometry of the defect sites are given. The simulated results reveal that the modulation becomes more remarkable with an increase of the defect density. In addition, the effect of the distribution mode of defects on modulation is discussed. Meanwhile, the underlying physical mechanism is analyzed in detail.     

The electric field modulation by three-dimensional crack on fused silica subsurface

The main factor of laser-induced damage is the modulation to electromagnetic field of laser by the crack on the subsurface. In this paper, a three-dimensional crack model on the exit surface is presented. Three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is employed to simulate the electric field intensity distribution in the vicinity of crack on fused silica subsurface. The roles of the crack width, depth, length and the gradient angle in the modulation to the incident light field are analyzed in detail. Results show that the crack size plays an important role in the electric modulation. With the increasing depth and width, the peak value of maximal electric field intensity appears in fused silica. However, the maximal electric field intensity tends to be a constant when the crack length reaches 1 μm. Besides, the enhancement of light intensity becomes obvious when total internal reflection occurs in fused silica. Our calculated results provide an advisable theoretical criterion to the corresponding experiment.     

Numerical simulation of the modulation to incident laser by the repaired damage site in a fused silica subsurface

One of the main factors of laser induced damage is the modulation to incident laser which is caused by the defect in the subsurface of the fused silica.In this work,the repaired damage site irradiated by CO 2 laser is simplified to a Gaussian rotation according to the corresponding experimental results.Then,the three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method is employed to simulate the electric field intensity distribution in the vicinity of this kind of defect in fused silica front subsurface.The simulated results show that the modulation is notable,the E max is about 2.6 times the irradiated electric field intensity in the fused silica with the damage site (the width is 1.5 μm and depth is 2.3 μm) though the damage site is repaired by CO 2 laser.The phenomenon and the theoretical result of the annular laser enhancement existed on the rear surface are first verified effectively,which agrees well with the corresponding experimental results.The relations between the maximal electric field intensity in fused silica with defect depth and width are given respectively.Meanwhile,the corresponding physical mechanism is analysed theoretically in detail.     

Study of modulation property to incident laser by surface micro-defects on KH2PO4 crystal

KH₂PO₄ crystal is a crucial optical component of inertial confinement fusion. Modulation of an incident laser by surface micro-defects will induce the growth of surface damage, which largely restricts the enhancement of the laser induced damage threshold. The modulation of an incident laser by using different kinds of surface defects are simulated by employing the three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method. The results indicate that after the modulation of surface defects, the light intensity distribution inside the crystal is badly distorted, with the light intensity enhanced symmetrically. The relations between modulation properties and defect geometries (e.g., width, morphology, and depth of defects) are quite different for different defects. The modulation action is most obvious when the width of surface defects reaches 1.064 μ. For defects with smooth morphology, such as spherical pits, the degree of modulation is the smallest and the light intensity distribution seems relatively uniform. The degree of modulation increases rapidly with the increase of the depth of surface defects and becomes stable when the depth reaches a critical value. The critical depth is 1.064 μ for cuboid pits and radial cracks, while for ellipsoidal pits the value depends on both the width and the length of the defects.

光在一维周期结构中的分布和局域化

运用传播矩阵对不同种类的一维周期结构(periodic structure, PS)中的光场分布和局域化进行了理论分析．结果表明: 当光以禁带频率入射到PS上时,绝大部分光被反射,在PS中是以衰减的驻波形式存在的．需要强调的是,当光以禁带带边频率入射时,光场在PS中有显著的局域化,在介质中引入适当的缺陷可以极大地增加这种局域化程度．另外,当光从掺杂有特定缺陷层的PS的左右两个不同界面入射时,可引起光场在PS中不同的分布,这对通过光的非线性调制实现的光学二极管非常有用.在线性吸收的PS中光强随光进入介质的厚度及消光系数的增加迅速衰减．
