Description

A kind of laser quick separating optical crystal method and device
Technical field
The invention belongs to laser processing application technical field, relate to a kind of method and relevant apparatus of laser quick separating optical crystal.The present invention can utilize laser fast and be separated processing transparent material in high quality, especially can be separated the optical crystals such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) safely, fast with in high quality.
Background technology
KDP type crystal is the important multi-functional crystalline material of a class, and during the Second World War, KDP is used to manufacture the equipment such as PZT (piezoelectric transducer) and sonar and become military supplies.After the sixties in 20th century, laser technology occurred, this kind of crystalline material owing to having higher nonlinear optical coefficients, wide transmission region and excellent electric light, frequency inverted performance is widely used in photoelectron technical field.The particularly prospect on the important technical such as controlled thermonuclear reaction, simulation nuclear blast along with the rise of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) technology and ICF in recent years, makes to enter again new stage to the research of KDP type crystal.Although because various novel nonlinear optical crystal continues to bring out, make a general survey of the performance that it is comprehensive, especially required super, what up to the present can be used for ICF system also only only has KDP type crystal.In view of the strategic importance of this kind of crystal, its large scale of western developed country embargo, high-quality KDP optical crystal material and relevant process technology, cause this material very well sold and in short supply in the international market.KDP crystal needed for acquisition, it is the task of top priority that China develops the work of nuclear power generation unit voluntarily, along with the development of nuclear energy power generation industry, the demand of this kind of crystal, by increasing, developed the KDP crystal pro cessing technology with independent intellectual property right and will be brought huge economic and social benefit.
Current China has technically obtained larger breakthrough at large scale KDP growth technique, but in the processing of KDP crystal base substrate cutting and separating, remains a larger bottleneck problem.Domestic KDP crystal-cut mainly adopts mechanical means---and oil cooling saw blade cuts.Because KDP type crystal requires harsh to growth technique and growing environment, the cycle of growing large-size crystal is very long, yield rate is extremely low, and there is typical macroscopic symmetry, micro fracture mechanism and film symmetry, the physical property of crystal is made to show as significant anisotropy, the coefficient of elasticity of different directions, thermal coefficient of expansion, tensile strength, compression strength and fracture toughness etc. are all inconsistent, and the periodicity of crystals lattice arrangement makes optical crystal mostly show soft, the high fragility of pledge and easy cleavage simultaneously.These factors can cause occurring collapsing limit, micro-crack and cracked phenomenon in traditional machining cutting process, cause the machine cuts success rate of crystal extremely low, say nothing of high-precision separation, and therefore this crystalloid is acknowledged as one of most difficult-to-machine material in the world.In addition, impurity in optical crystal growth course and dislocation can make crystals occur brilliant bag or defect, its internal stress produced and strain very easily make crystal ftracture, cause affecting by mechanical stress, vibrations and thermal stress in crystal pro cessing process very large, process is slow and difficult, and separative efficiency is extremely low.Optical component is very high to the quality requirement of plane of crystal after processing simultaneously, and crystal mostly is solution growth, to the dust in machining and cool piquid-sensitive sense, very easily deliquescence and pollution occurs.
The applicant proposed the application for a patent for invention (patent No. is CN102152003A) of " a kind of separating optical crystal by using two laser beams and device " for 02 month 24 days in 2011.First ultrafast laser bundle of peak power density, low pulse energy is focused into optical crystal inside by the method, the crystalline material at laser spot place produces multiphoton ionization effect owing to being subject to extremely strong light field, make that the crystal at this place undergoes phase transition, local melting and modification, thus significantly improve the absorptivity of focus area and reduce the adhesion in this region.The movement of three-dimensional working platform is utilized to make the first laser action region form the pretreatment face running through whole crystal.Adopt the second laser beam of low peak power, high pulse energy to act on described pretreatment face again, optical crystal is separated.
Although the method achieves the contactless separation of KDP crystal, but must use ultrafast laser in crystal, form a pretreatment face, still there is following problem: it is high to the requirement of intensity control precision and stability that (1) uses ultrafast laser to carry out modification to crystal, mechanism is complicated, apparatus expensive.(2) make a modification face running through separated track and can destroy crystal internal stress stability, also can form quick-fried some when running into material lattice defect, often ftracture in manufacturing process.(3) roughness and material property that are separated sidewall can be destroyed in the pretreatment face running through crystal, cause the crystal sidewall after separation must carry out polishing to pretreatment zone and remove and can use.(4) separation principle of the method is cool the tension produced after laser heating materials expands, and therefore its separating rate is seriously limited by the cooling of material, although more traditional machine cuts is faster, speed still can not practical requirement.

Laser quick separating optical crystal method provided by the invention, its principle is the feature utilizing optical crystal tensile strength low, when LASER HEATING microcrack, make microcrack two layers of material generation thermal expansion effects, thus generation sphere of action in microcrack tip is minimum, the forward direction of intensity maximum extrudes and side direction tension, crystalline material is pulled open, finally realizes crystal high-quality and be separated.
First, detaching direction setting is carried out to optical crystal, separate top formed one superfine, along the prefabricated micro-crack of path profile to be separated; Secondly, utilize circle or long strip type laser focusing to carry out scanning heating to prefabricated micro-crack, form an induced with laser microcrack; Finally, along the quick mobile laser focusing of disjoint paths arranged, until the translational speed of laser is identical with induced with laser microcrack expansion rate, laser focusing is made to followed by crack all the time foremost, thus ensure crack high-speed expansion, realize the high speed of crystal, high-quality is separated.
The device realizing described method comprises the prefabricated mechanism of micro-crack of a detaching direction setting, a single focal argon laser system of processing and a two-dimentional work bench 15.
Single focal argon laser system of processing is arranged on above two-dimentional work bench 15, and it comprises common high power laser 1, first beam expanding lens 31, first speculum 41 be positioned in a light path, condenser lens 5 and the first Z axis travel mechanism 91 successively.Wherein the first beam expanding lens 31 can be cylinder beam expanding lens or sphere beam expanding lens.Condenser lens 5 is fixed in the first Z axis travel mechanism 91, by changing the position of condenser lens 5, can change laser spot and stretching into the intracrystalline degree of depth.
Two-dimentional work bench 15 is for fixed crystal, and platform corner is provided with the spring 12 that can provide certain pulling force (< 1Kg) by holder 11.Platform surface is air supporting or disjoint paths hollow out, thus isolation platform absorbing laser heat-dissipating treats the impact of processing optical crystal.
The prefabricated mechanism of micro-crack for arranging a detaching direction and producing initial micro-crack on optical crystal to be processed, and be usually arranged on the side of two-dimentional work bench 15, its specific implementation can be adopted in two ways, i.e. the first to the second prefabricated mechanism of micro-crack.
The principle of the first prefabricated mechanism of micro-crack utilizes optical crystal to have high-peak power, low-energy feature to 0.2 ~ 2.5 mum wavelength scope internal absorption factor lower (less than 10%) and ultrafast laser, by laser beam focus optical crystal inner certain a bit, make this some place laser power density far above the damage threshold of optical crystal, bring out multiphoton ionization and produce a large amount of " electronic gas ", cause the non-linear absorption of strong laser, thus realize cold working to optical crystal, form an extremely narrow prefabricated micro-crack.
As shown in Figure 1, the first prefabricated mechanism of micro-crack utilizes the cold working mechanism of ultrafast femtosecond laser to realize arranging the detaching direction of optical crystal, is particularly suitable in the occasion very high to disintegrate-quality requirement.The prefabricated mechanism of this micro-crack comprises ultrafast laser 2, second speculum 42, second beam expanding lens 32, the laser galvanometer 6 that are positioned at successively in another light path, first, second large scale lens 71,72, micro-focusing objective len 8 and the second Z axis travel mechanism 92.Wherein laser galvanometer 6, first, second large scale lens 71,72 and micro-focusing objective len 8 are arranged in order and are fixed in the second Z axis travel mechanism 92.Ultrafast laser enters micro-focusing objective len 8 through laser galvanometer 6 and first, second large scale lens 71,72, forms the high region of an energy density after focusing at crystals, thus realizes the micro-removal of crystalline material at micron or nanoscale.By the acting in conjunction of laser galvanometer 6 and the second Z axis travel mechanism 92, micron-sized prefabricated micro-crack can be formed in crystal.Meanwhile, the plasma (orifice) gas that produces in process is known from experience and adhere at the sidewall of crackle, the thermal stress distribution of change crystals, thus the initially-separate efficiency significantly improving follow-up single focal argon laser system of processing be separated bearing accuracy.
The specific implementation process of Fig. 1 shown device comprises the following steps:
(1) position of micro-focusing objective len 8 is regulated, ultrafast laser is entered optical crystal inside from the lateral focus of optical crystal, at laser spot place, optical crystal can absorb and ionization by collision absorption because superpower electric field causes multiphoton ionization, forms the ablation of nanometer or micro-meter scale.
Form powder, plasma gas or transformation temperature after the ablation of optical crystal refers to the absorption of crystal laser energy in laser spot region and depart from mother metal.
(2) start laser galvanometer 6, intracrystalline ultrafast laser focus is scanned along Z-direction, and intracrystalline ablation point will be linked to be ablation line.The X-axis mobile optical crystal of recycling two-dimentional work bench 15, makes ablation line form ablation face from inside to outside, finally in crystal, forms a prefabricated micro-crack 10.
Scan rate of vibrating mirror and Z axis translational speed depend on the peak power of ultrafast laser, are usually less than 0.3m/s; Length and the degree of depth of usual miniature carving seam are all greater than 1mm.
(3) regulate the position of condenser lens 5, common high power laser is focused on top or the below of prefabricated micro-crack 10, and carry out particles along micro-crack X-direction, until micro-crack front end defines new crack.
The judgement of new cracking initiation has occurred the new crackle along detaching direction, and usual crack length is less than 1cm (X-direction), the whole crystal of depth penetration.
(4) along the mobile single focal argon laser system of processing of path to be separated speed, within making new crack be positioned at laser spot front certain distance D foremost all the time, until whole crystal separation.The value of D is relevant with the thickness of crystalline material and surface parameter, from 10 microns to 1 centimetre not etc.The translational speed of single focal argon laser system of processing is relevant with the power of common high power laser, is usually greater than 100 μm/s.
Fig. 1 shown device and CN102152003A morphologically have some similar, but are essentially different, and are two kinds of distinct methods, simply illustrate its difference below:
The separation principle of the application and CN102152003A is essentially different.Method in CN102152003A be utilize high-peak power, the first laser beam of low pulse energy forms light injury line and face in crystal, its essence is not removed the material in this region, and is only carry out modification to relevant range.And emphasize in the present invention, ultrafast laser must be utilized to carry out micro-removal to material, form the prefabricated micro-crack that runs through material thickness, so its mode of action is essentially different.Secondly, the effect in the modification face that CN102152003A first laser beam is formed is the absorptivity increasing specific region, reduces its adhesion, thus guides the second laser to be separated.And the effect of ultrafast laser is prefabricated micro-crack in the present invention, thus play the effect of induction incipient crack generation, the two separation principle is essentially different.
Must first adopt the first laser beam to form damage surface in CN102152003A, re-use the second laser beam and be separated along damage surface, thus the zone of action of the first laser beam must cover whole machining locus; And the present invention only needs to use ultrafast laser to process the distance of a bit of (about 1-2mm) along disjoint paths, do not need to cover whole track, and ultrafast laser is only used at the processing initial stage, after induced with laser microcrack is formed, only need use common high power laser, without the need to using double laser beam.
The device difference that device provided by the invention provides in CN102152003A is: the present invention utilizes ultrafast laser to use micro-focusing objective len 8 to be combined with laser galvanometer 6, processes in the mode scanned.And in CN102152003A, using condenser lens to process with the form of point focusing, the latter's process velocity and precision can not show a candle to the former.Secondly, this device need use spring mechanism, ultrafast laser and common laser can not be settled separately on a track, and processing platform is the fuel factor that air supporting or disjoint paths hollow out produce with isolated Laser Processing platform, and the device provided with CN102152003A has obvious difference.
The principle of the second prefabricated mechanism of micro-crack utilizes microdiamond emery wheel 16 to mark an extremely narrow mill seam at crystal sidewall, forms precrack.Because mill seam sidewall mill is rough, the heat distribution of laser absorption rate and the scanning of change post laser can be significantly improved.Common high power laser will form the micro-crack with fixed-direction after adding defibrator process seam.
As shown in Figure 2, the second prefabricated mechanism of micro-crack utilizes microdiamond abrasive cut-off wheel and common high power laser to realize arranging the detaching direction of optical crystal, is suitable for the less demanding occasion of subregion disintegrate-quality.The prefabricated mechanism of this micro-crack comprises two-dimentional guide rail platform 18 (guide rail activity direction is Z-direction and Y-direction), a servomotor 17 and a microdiamond emery wheel 16.Servomotor 17 is fixed on two-dimentional guide rail platform 18, and skive 16 is placed on motor shaft with the direction perpendicular to motor shaft.Servomotor 17 drives skive 16 high-speed rotation, and along with the slightly movement of guide rail Z-direction, and form a small mill seam at crystal sidewall, skive 16 is by rough for the crystal mill of each sidewall of mill seam simultaneously, increases the subregional absorptivity of crystals.Follow-up single focal argon laser can form the micron order prefabricated micro-crack of direction along disjoint paths after adding defibrator process seam, thus the detaching direction completing optical crystal is arranged.
The specific implementation process of Fig. 2 shown device comprises the following steps:
(1) open servomotor, make microdiamond emery wheel High Rotation Speed (rotating speed is greater than 100 turns/min usually), and just contact with optical crystal material to microdiamond emery wheel along two-dimentional guide rail shift servo motor.
(2) move up and down servomotor, ground a finedraw to whole crystal by skive.Translational speed is greater than 100 μm/s usually.
(3) move KDP crystal in X direction, the mobile distance that feeds is less than 1mm usually.
(4) repeat step (2), (3) until crystal is ground with a length is greater than 100 μm (X-directions), micro-mill that the degree of depth (Z-direction) runs through whole crystal stitches.
(5) regulate the position of condenser lens 5, common high power laser is focused on above micro-mill seam place or below, until micro-mill seam leading portion defines the micron order micro-crack 19 along disjoint paths.
The judgement that micro-crack is formed has occurred the crackle along detaching direction, and usual crack length is less than 1cm, and the degree of depth is greater than 5mm.
(6) common high power laser is focused on top or the below of induction micro-crack 19, and carry out particles along micro-crack X-direction, until micro-crack front end defines new crack.
(7) single focal argon laser system of processing is moved fast along path to be separated, within making new crack front be positioned at laser spot front certain distance D all the time, until whole crystal separation.The value of D is relevant with the thickness of crystalline material and surface parameter, from 10 microns to 1 centimetre not etc.The translational speed of single focal argon laser system of processing is relevant with the power of common high power laser, is usually greater than 100 μm/s.
Note: the order that also can change (2), (3) two steps.
