Description
Technical field
The invention belongs to the optical assessment method, relate to the analytical approach of quantitative relationship between the optical element foozle that is used for strong laser system and the beam quality.
Background technology
In strong laser system, by optical transmitting system laser beam is outputed on the focal plane of far field, thereby reduce the angle of divergence, and laser beam is focused on, to realize high cumulative requirement by Focused Optical system.There is face shape error in optical element in manufacture process, according to the Small-scale Self-focusing theory, the optical element foozle will form the small sample perturbations to light field amplitude and phase place, after transmission, because non-linear growth, the disturbance of amplitude and phase place all will form the modulation to light intensity; Optical element intermediate frequency, high frequency error be as the noise source of beam intensity and phase perturbation, also is to cause one of main root that focal spot secondary lobe and Nonlinear Self-Focusing destroy.The parameter that is usually used in estimating beam quality also has M except the Si Telieer ratio
2The factor, far-field divergence angle and encircled power compare etc.; Compare with other index, encircled power is than more being applicable to energy transport, coupled mode application scenario.Quantitative relationship at optical element foozle and beam quality is analyzed, for the serviceability that improves strong laser system, the foozle of optical element is significant under the determinacy processing conditionss such as appropriate design and the digital control processing of control small abrasive nose, magnetorheological polishing, ion beam polishing.
