Design of optical system for quality evaluation of a large rectangular aperture laser beam

The adaptive optical correction technology can effectively improve the beam quality of solid slab lasers,but with the increase of laser output power,the output beam aperture and the system volume increase gradually,which make the design of adaptive optical correction system more difficult.Therefore,under the premise of meeting the requirements of conjugate detection in the adaptive optical correction system,it is of certain research significance to optimize the size parameters of the detection system as a whole,and realize the detection of multiple parameters such as wavefront phase and beam quality evaluation.In this paper,we realized the multi-parameter detection of 160 mm×120 mm rectangular beam emitted by slab laser under the condition that the overall size of the system is 350 mm×180 mm×220 mm(length×width×height).Accord-ing to the technical requirements of large detection apertures,limitation of tube length and long exit pupil dis-tance,firstly,the dual-Gaussian initial structure was used to eliminate the aberration.Combined with the as-pheric surface technology,the design scheme of splitting detection after high-ratio beam compression was ad-opted to realize the simultaneous detection and evaluation of multiple parameters.Secondly,the initial para-meters of the system were determined based on the principles of telephoto imaging and conjugate imaging.Thirdly,the simulation model of the detection system was established to analyze the imaging quality and the tolerance of the system,which were implemented to provide the basis for the construction of the experiment.Finally,the experiments were carried out to verify the design results.Results indicate that the conjugate wavefront detection,light intensity uniformity detection and beam quality evaluation of 160 mm×120 mm rectangular beam can be realized under the conditions of the object-image conjugation and size constraint conditions.In the experiment,theβfactor of the measured beam is 1.24 times the diffraction limit,and the uniformity is 73.8%,which meet the technical requirements.
