Field has very important application value.In optical fiber laser design and application field, beam quality is all to weigh laser light
One important parameter of beam quality.Beam quality factor M2Due to covering laser near-field and far-field characteristic simultaneously, it is used as table
The index for levying laser beam quality, in recent years recognized by international light circle, and by International Organization for standardization(ISO)It is pushed away
It recommends.
Since high-capacity optical fiber laser as gain and passes energy medium using doubly clad optical fiber, the light field point of inside of optical fibre
Phenomena such as cloth and optical fiber heat balance mechanism are complex, and the pattern thus caused is unstable and pattern converts can directly result in defeated
Go out the dynamic change of the beam quality of laser.Meanwhile with high power single mode fiber laser developments, power further carries
It rises, the optical fiber of certain core diameters has begun to generate nonlinear effect, and these nonlinear effects also can be to the light beam of output laser
Quality has an impact.In order to analyze the change mechanism that high-capacity optical fiber laser exports laser, how accurate and detection in real time
Its beam quality factor has become the heat subject studied now.

Spatial resolution, this method shows unique advantage in many Wave-front measurements.It is multiple using four wave lateral shear interferometers
Former testing laser complex amplitude obtains the wavefront and light intensity point of testing laser mainly by the processing to single interference pattern
Cloth.In past more than 50 years, many scholars conduct in-depth research for the wavefront reconstruction problem of lateral shearing interference, carry
Go out a series of wavefront reconstruction algorithms, can be divided into restructing algorithm before zonal wavefront reconstruction and mode wave by reconstruct thought.Base
In the extraction of existing differential phase and wavefront reconstruction algorithm, can preferably answer in the case that carrier frequency interference fringe acutance is preferable
Original goes out the wavefront information of light to be measured, and poor in interference fringe acutance(It is generally acknowledged that being less than 0.1)When, utilize doing in the region
It is difficult the phase information for restoring in the region to relate to striped.And it is then utilized in a certain position complex amplitude information for measuring laser
The method that diffraction theory seeks beam quality factor, if complex amplitude by edge phase retrieval error it is larger or only take wave front restoration compared with
Good region is calculated, and the beam quality factor that simulation calculation goes out can be made bigger than normal, and then leads to the inaccuracy measured.Cause
This how accuracy complete measurement go out testing laser interference normally with interference small signal region light intensity and phase information be current
One main problem of research.
