A kind of ultraviolet Zooming expander
[technical field]
The present invention relates to optical lens, relate in particular to a kind of Ultra-Violet Laser beam expanding lens.
[background technology]
The optical beam-expanding mirror occupies considerable status in the Laser Processing optical system, according to Laplace invariant (Lagrange) theorem:
J=nDθ=n′D′θ′
Wherein: n and the refractive index of n ' expression optical system in medium, when medium is air, n=n '=1, the entrance pupil diameter and the exit pupil diameter of D and D ' expression optical system; The field angle of θ and θ ' expression incident light and the field angle of emergent light when field angle is very little, can be represented with radian; Visible by following formula, when the emitting laser bundle has the angle of divergence, when promptly θ is big; Through beam expanding lens by D → D '; Promptly amplify β=D '/D doubly, all can make the angle of divergence of laser beam dwindle β doubly, thereby reach the purpose of shaping laser beam.
On the other hand, general laser beam bright dipping diameter all very little (about about Φ=1mm) for this reason, directly focus on so thin light beam, and its Rayleigh disk is just very big, according to the Rayleigh disk formula:
Rayleigh disk diameter δ=2.44 λ f/D
It is thus clear that D is more little, δ is just big more, can reduce the machining precision of system so widely.In view of above two basic demands, the optical system of Laser Processing is generally all wanted the adapted beam expanding lens.

[specific embodiment]
In the laser processing procedure, require laser very concentrated usually, guarantee the energy density of laser processing procedure focus point, make laser work effectively, and improve the work efficiency of laser at the energy of focus point.Improve the focus energy density of laser, will obtain as far as possible little focus point.Theoretical according to diffraction limit: the angle of divergence θ of laser and waist diameter d
0Relation do
Wherein for using certain laser instrument, Wavelength of Laser λ is certain, so, the angle of divergence θ of laser and waist diameter d
0Product be constant.Generally less from the laser beam diameter of laser instrument output, before the convergence optical system through certain focus focuses on, require the expanded light beam diameter to reduce angle of divergence θ, obtain bigger incident beam diameter simultaneously.Suppose in laser instrument and focal length are the convergence optical system of f, to add a laser beam expanding system, select suitable expansion bundle multiple β as requested for use, making laser beam enlarge to diameter is D=β d
