用于激光二极管抽运固体激光器热畸变补偿的微变形镜特性研究 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
在很多高功率的激光器中,由于热效应的缘故会导致激光器的光束质量大幅下降。为了改善激光光束的动态畸变,自适应光学是一种有效的方法。作为自适应光学系统的核心部件,设计了一种可用于大功率激光二极管抽运固体激光器(DPL)热畸变补偿的新型可变形反射镜,并且通过工艺流片实际制造出有效反射面积为30 mm×30 mm,拥有49个静电驱动单元的可变形反射镜。对该微机电系统(MEMS)微变形镜的变形特性进行了详细的理论分析和模拟研究,并和实际测量结果进行了比较,得到了满意的结果。为了实现闭环控制,对微变形反射镜的光学影响函数矩阵进行了全面测量,并用得到的电压矩阵对畸变激光光束的波前进行了校正。实验结果表明,微变形反射镜可以有效地改善激光光束质量。 相似文献

利用有限元分析法结合Fox-Li迭代法,考虑腔内本征模式与腔镜热形变的相互耦合作用,计算模拟了正支共焦非稳腔的本征模式分布,定量分析了高功率激光器腔镜热变形对输出光束质量的影响,重点讨论了腔镜热变形所引起的腔内本征模式相位特性的变化,并从波前功率谱密度、Zernike像差系数及光束质量值等角度对腔镜发生热形变前后的激光器输出光束的光束特性进行比较分析。研究结果表明:高功率激光器腔镜热形变对输出光束的光束质量会产生一定的影响,且随着激光输出功率的增大,镜面热形变引起的输出光束波前相位高频比例及Zernike高阶像差均会有所增大,波前畸变程度也明显变大,光束质量逐渐变差。 相似文献

为满足激光束对远处目标辐照强度的要求,减小热效应对输出光束性能的影响,提出了一种基于整形光路的高能激光低阶像差校正方法。该方法根据波前探测器测到的光束波前畸变,利用激光器整形光路固有的光学元件和调整机构,通过高精密电动平移台和快反镜的快速动作,动态调整各镜片的间距,实时校正激光束的低阶像差,使输出光束恢复至平行出射,从而显著减小激光束的热漂移和热畸变,有效避免了长时间出光时光束的持续发散,极大改善了输出光束性能。试验结果表明,该方法具有校正量大、控制方便、结构紧凑等优点,能够很好地改善激光器输出光束质量,显著提高激光束远场作用效果。 相似文献

The power intensity distribution of a laser beam across the focal plane is important for producing good hole geometry. To examine the power intensity distribution in the region of the image plane of a practical lens, a diffraction integral method is employed. Lens aberration is accounted for by the intensity of the appropriate phase changes. In the analysis, a free-running pulsed multimode solid-state laser is considered and the lens is assumed to have aberrations. Since an on-axis object is examined, only spherical aberration is taken into account. 相似文献

Adaptive control of laser modal properties 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

An adaptive optical system for precise control of a laser beam's mode structure has been developed. The system uses a dynamic lens based on controlled optical path deformation in a dichroic optical element that is heated with an auxiliary laser. Our method is essentially aberration free, has high dynamic range, and can be implemented with high average power laser beams where other adaptive optics methods fail. A quantitative model agrees well with our experimental data and demonstrates the potential of our method as a mode-matching and beam-shaping element for future large-scale gravitational wave detectors. 相似文献

We describe an adaptive aberration correction technique based on an ant colony algorithm for solid-state lasers and a general class of other adaptive optics systems. We show that it is possible to compensate phase aberrations without wavefront sensing in this approach, which iteratively adjusts the control voltages of a deformable mirror to maximize certain system performance metrics of the far-field intensity distribution of the laser beam. The effectiveness of this approach is analyzed numerically by use of a 37-element piezoelectric deformable mirror and a variation of the Strehl ratio as the metric. Results demonstrate that this approach can effectively compensate the phase distortions of laser beams and significantly improve beam quality. A comparison indicates that this approach is much faster than a genetic algorithm while achieving almost the same beam quality. 相似文献

Here, we report on the development of an efficient, high peak power lamp pumped Nd:YAG laser with time-shared fiber optic beam delivery. A maximum average output power of 270 W with 100 J maximum pulse energy and 5 kW peak power has been achieved with an electrical to laser conversion efficiency of 5.4%, which is on higher side for typical lamp pumped solid-state lasers. We have improved efficiency by spectral conversion and water flow optimization in the pump cavity, with a resulting beam quality comparable to commercial systems of similar power level. The resonator has been designed for stable operation from single-shot to 200 Hz repetition rate. A study of pulse-to-pulse laser energy stability for different resonator configurations has also been performed. The resonator was designed to achieve a good beam quality for the whole range of operation with a maximum beam parameter product of 15 mm mrad (M245). A simple mechanism for time-shared fiber optic port selection has also been devised. Material processing applications such as cutting of stainless steel sheets up to 14 mm thickness and welding of metals such as carbon steel with weld depths up to 2 mm using the developed laser system has also been reported. 相似文献

固体激光器在强抽运的条件下,激光晶体热透镜的球差效应是不容忽视的,尤其是在大基模体积的动态稳定腔中,会影响谐振腔的振荡模式,进而影响腔内损耗和输出功率.通过Fox-Li的衍射迭代算法,分析了谐振腔的自再现模,表明在热透镜球差效应作用下,基模的光强分布出现了旁瓣,并由此带来了光束质量的下降,最后通过实验结果验证了理论分析,指出光束填充因子是激光器设计的一个重要因素,其最佳值需要根据球差效应的强弱,通过实验的方法来确定.
