Description

The diagnostic device of laser plasma interactions parameter
The invention relates to a kind of diagnostic device of laser plasma interactions parameter.Be specially adapted to the diagnosis of the parameter of ultrashort ultra-intense laser and plasma interaction.
Technology [1] formerly: people such as U.S. A.K.Lal provide a kind of bifrequency CO 2The low-angle Thomson scattering diagnostic device of laser excitation plasma wave (being published in Phys.Plasmas 4 (5), 1443,1997).Its pump light is beat frequency CO 2Laser (wavelength is respectively 10.3 and 10.6 microns, complete half high pulsewidth 300 psecs, 70 joules of energy), 0.53 micron of probe optical wavelength, becomes 87 ° of angle incidents at complete half high 2 nanoseconds of pulsewidth with pump light, it is that scanning obtains by streak camera that its time differentiates, and resolution is 10 psecs.The weak point of this type of device has following 3 points: 1. the probe light source needs to introduce separately, and is more loaded down with trivial details on device and light path; 2. its time is differentiated the resolution that is subject to streak camera, this device is unsuitable for desk-top femtosecond laser device, because the relaxation time of the plasma wave that femtosecond laser excites in plasma is at picosecond magnitude, and resolution is very expensive less than the streak camera of psec; 3. this matching requirements pump light and probe light have certain included angle, thereby can not be used for the laser that is in the research focus is in the world diagnosed in the process of the plasma activated plasma ripple that is subjected to the kapillary constraint.
Technology [2] formerly: people such as United States Naval Research Laboratory A.Ting have had bigger improvement (to be published in Phys.Rev.Lett.77 based on the relevant Thomson scattering technology of femtosecond laser than said apparatus, 5377,1996. and Phys.Plasmas 4 (5), 1889,1997).Its lasing light emitter parameter is: 1.06 microns of wavelength, pulsewidth 400 femtoseconds, energy 1000 millijoules.At first from pump light, tell sub-fraction light as probe light with a beam-splitter, this probe light is coaxial with pump light again after by phosphoric acid deuterium potassium (KDP) crystal double frequency (just separating with pump light on the frequency spectrum like this), and the light path of regulating two-beam respectively can obtain different time delay.Scattered light enters spectrometer after through a color filter.This is apparatus simplified many on the structure, and its probe is the part of pump light only, does not need extra LASER Light Source, and the time-delay of its pump light and probe light is that light path is adjustable, does not need expensive equipment, and can carry out the zero degree diagnosis.But this device still has following defective: 1. beam-splitter and KDP crystal are understood the broadening femtosecond pulse, reduce to focus on and use (target practice) power; 2. the optical path difference with respect to the time-delay of 1 psec is 0.3 millimeter, and the subtle change of two light paths all can change the time interval of pump light and probe light, and the absolute light path difference of two light paths is difficult definite, needs monitoring system; 3. owing to the off-axis parabolic mirror focusing focal spot that needs on the device to use is minimum, radius is less than 10 microns, and probe light is adjusted into coaxial and focuses on the so little zone with pump light again is very difficult; The frequency spectrum of scattered light spectrum move be proportional to the probe optical wavelength square, for this wide range lasing light emitter of femtosecond pulse, must have enough frequency shift amounts just might obtain the scattered signal do not covered, and the KDP crystal can make observation scattered light signal difficulty more undoubtedly to the frequency multiplication of probe light at forward direction by bias light.
The objective of the invention is for overcoming the problem in the above technology formerly, mainly is the application at laser plasma interactions, provides a kind of simple and easy to do, need not the relevant Thomson scattering diagnostic device of expensive components and parts.Overcome formerly and produce probe light and the shortcoming of regulating the light path complexity of delaying time in the technology, further improve sensitivity to small scattered signal, and be suitable for all kinds of laser systems, comprise the ultrashort ultra-intense laser system that adopts chirped pulse to amplify (CPA) and adopt optical parameter chirped pulse amplification (OPCPA) technology.
The structure of diagnostic device of the present invention can be divided into two ingredients as shown in Figure 1 on function.To place the targets 3 in the vacuum target chamber 4 is the center, and first is from producing double-pulse laser bundle the Lights section till the target 3 that places in the vacuum target chamber 4, comprising laser instrument 1 and focus device 2.Wherein laser instrument 1 contains laser oscillator 101, and laser amplifier 102 expands bundle compression device 104; Between laser amplifier 102 and expansion bundle compression device 104, be equipped with the birefringece crystal 103 that produces the double-pulse laser bundle.Second portion is to begin collection test section till the receiving device 9 from the targets 3 in the vacuum target chamber 4, contains: first convex lens 5 and the focus that are positioned at by focus on the target 3 of vacuum target chamber 4 are positioned at the compound lens that second convex lens 7 on the receiving device 9 constitute.Place between first convex lens 5 and second convex lens 7 analyzer 6 is arranged.Placing between second convex lens 7 and the receiving device 9 has color filter 8, and receiving device 9.Wherein focus device 2 can change the optical element that it comprises according to different experiment conditions, be catoptron and focus lamp etc., significant feature is that the laser beam with light source focuses on the target 3, so as long as the focus of focus device 2 is positioned on the target 3, just do not influence the work of single unit system.
The concrete course of work is as follows:
In the first, birefringece crystal 103 is put in the laser instrument 1, between laser amplifier 102 and expansion bundle compression device 103, it is by transparent to the laser beam wave band and do not have a uniaxial crystal of obvious nonlinear effect, as calcite crystal, or lithium columbate crystal, or rutile crystal constitutes.The selection of concrete uniaxial crystal can be decided according to the pump light of job requirement and the time interval between the probe light, machining shape with do not influence laser beam pass through be as the criterion.The optical axis of birefringece crystal 103 is parallel to optical surface, and birefringece crystal 103 are optical axises perpendicular to the laser beam direction of propagation place light path in the laser instrument 1.Because laser oscillator 101 is a linearly polarized light with laser amplifier 102 emitted laser pulses, when one angle theta being arranged with birefringece crystal 103 optical axises, birefringence according to uniaxial crystal, this laser pulse can be split into two laser pulses after by birefringece crystal 103, these two laser pulses are still linearly polarized light, but the polarization direction is vertical mutually, an optical axis that is parallel to birefringece crystal 103, optical axis perpendicular to birefringece crystal 103, do not separate on the space, and certain interval is arranged in time.The time interval of two laser pulses is by the refringence and the crystal thickness decision of the ordinary light and the special light of birefringece crystal 103, and the energy of two laser pulses is than being determined by angle theta.Like this, one is pump light in two laser pulses, and one is probe light, then can adjust the energy of pump light and probe light when changing angle θ.This two bundles laser pulse is again through after expanding bundle compression device 104, promptly can be used as pump light in the work and probe light.Enter vacuum target chamber 4 inner focusings on target 3 by focus device 2 again, produce laser and the mutual effect of plasma.
Second portion is for collecting the test section: the focus of first convex lens 5 drops on the target 3, gets first convex lens 5 and second convex lens 7 for compound lens, influences with color difference eliminating.The laser beam of dispersing after laser and the action of plasma comprises pump light, and probe light scattering and scattered portion not become directional light through first convex lens 5.Pass through analyzer 6 again,, the polarization angle of adjustment analyzer 6 because probe light is vertical mutually with the pump light polarization direction, is selected the probe light transmission, the filtering pump light.Usually the probe light that adopts is about 1/10 with the energy ratio of pump light, and the polarization efficiency of analyzer 6 can reach 1/1000, is mainly the probe light signal so can guarantee the signal that sees through.The probe light that sees through is focused on the receiving device 9 by second convex lens 7 again.Be equipped with color filter 8 between second convex lens 7 and the receiving device 9, color filter 8 is the bandpass filter of a special plated film, its spectral response curve is high saturating to the scattered signal wave band, and the light of its commplementary wave length is ended, in an embodiment of the present invention, show as the scattered light of 740-765 nano wave length high thoroughly, high anti-to the not scattered light of 785 nano wave lengths, this has just improved the signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) of scattered signal.The receiving device 9 that is positioned at second convex lens, 7 focus places is introduced the spectrometer that is connected with computing machine with the flashlight that receives, and can dynamically show the scattered signal spectrum on display.
It is coaxial that the present invention adopts the birefringence effect of birefringece crystal 103 to produce two bundles, and the polarization direction is vertical, energy ratio and adjustable laser beam of the time interval, and this technical characterictic can be made multiple use.In the laser plasma interactions field, also can utilize this kind technology to produce prepulsing-pump light sequence and practice shooting, promptly previous pulse energy is lower, as prepulsing and target effect, produce plasma, a back pulse energy is higher, as pump light and plasma interaction.Utilize the reflection of polarization sheet this two bundles axis light spatially can also be separated, carry out the diagnosis of different angles.Because two pulse polarization directions are vertical, utilize polaroid to diagnose respectively two-beam, comprise spectral analysis and focal spot imaging etc.
The advantage of apparatus of the present invention:
Apparatus of the present invention are compared with the relevant Thomson scattering diagnostic device of technology formerly, and following characteristics are arranged:
1. simple and direct property: produce pump light-probe light dipulse, need not external light source, the optical element that produces the double-pulse laser bundle is a slice birefringece crystal 103, more formerly uses a laser instrument in the technology or produces probe light with beam-splitter, and the present invention has accomplished that maximum simplifies.
2. ease for operation: because pump light never separates on light path with probe light, there is not the adjustment problem on the light path in the two.And formerly to guarantee that two-beam finally focuses in the tiny area of tens microns of diameters in the technology, this requirement is the comparison difficulty.
3. Yan Shi accuracy: determine with shapes (refractive index and thickness) because pump light and time-delay between the probe light are character by birefringece crystal 103 itself, have nothing to do, do not need monitoring device with later light path, not high to outside conditional request.And formerly in the technology 2, the pump light light path does not overlap with probe light light path, the asymmetric shake that the two is small, and for example 30 microns relative light path changes, time-delay will corresponding change 100 femtoseconds, and this kinetics process for the following plasma of research 1 psec is very disadvantageous.In addition, formerly technology 2 can't directly be determined the absolute time-delay of the two, must rely on additional device, for example streak camera.
4. non-destructive: as for the pulsewidth of the light pulse of laser oscillator 101 and laser amplifier 102 outputs below 100 femtoseconds, the burnt ultrashort pulse of energy tens millis all can cause the broadening of pulse by general optical element, reduces focusing on target practice power.And the present invention places laser instrument 1 inside with birefringece crystal 103, and laser beam is to pass through birefringece crystal 103 before being compressed, and just there is not above-mentioned problem in this.
5. high sensitivity: because scattered light intensity is about the not per mille of scattered light in the probe light, and probe light light intensity is one of percentage of pump light light intensity, formerly adopt frequency multiplication probe light to remove the noise of pump light in the technology, but because scattered light with respect to the frequency displacement Δ λ of scattered light not be proportional to wavelength square, and femtosecond pulse is wide spectrum (the full halfwidth of 45 femtosecond pulses is 22 nanometers), and scattered signal will be submerged in again not in the scattering probe light like this.The pump light that adopts birefringece crystal 103 to produce is vertical with the probe light polarization direction, utilizes analyzer 6 can effectively remove pump light, is not cost in order to the frequency displacement of sacrificing scattered signal.Pump light is by behind the analyzer 6 in an embodiment of the present invention, and energy reduces more than 1000 times.
6. low-cost: because being positioned at, expands before the bundle compression device 104 birefringece crystal 103, only 20 millimeters of bores, 103 of a birefringece crystal needs hundreds of unit; If birefringece crystal 103 is put in laser instrument 1 outside, be 50 millimeters because expand bundle back laser beam diameter, large-sized crystal growth like this is very difficult, and process technology also requires very high, for example processes the KDP crystal of 50 millimeters of diameters, spends nearly ten thousand yuan.And the present invention has not just needed to spend the expense of big figure so.Simplifying on light path also reduced the spending of all kinds of optical elements.Diagnostic instrments of the present invention also only needs to have an optical fiber spectrometer behind receiving device 9.And formerly in the technology,, special instrument must be arranged for determining the time-delay below the psec between pump light-probe light.
