Description

A kind of in-cavity aberratio compensates unstable cavity laser and aberration compensating method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to field of laser device technology, particularly a kind of in-cavity aberratio compensates unstable cavity laser and aberration compensating method thereof.
Background technology
Laser technology, from the sixties in last century high speed development so far, interpenetrates with other new and high technologies again meanwhile, has apply more and more widely in various fields such as materials processing, medical treatment, military affairs, measurement and scientific experiment researchs.In Development of Laser Technology process, the mankind constantly pursue all the time and obtain higher, the better Laser output of beam quality of power.Wherein, unsteady cavity because of its have large scale mould field, stronger pattern distinguishing ability, higher aberration tolerance, to advantages such as optical axis misalignment are not too responsive, it is one of the Major Technology realizing high power, high light beam quality Laser output, and it can obtain the Laser output of ring-shaped light spot, be suitable for Cassegrain system transmitting and realize overlength distance transmission and focus on.But, various aberrations in resonant cavity inevitably exist, especially by the solid state gain medium of high power density pumping, its optical aberration is particularly remarkable, it can affect oscillating laser feature, while the overlapping efficiency of reduction affects power output, along with aberration evolved behavior complicated in chamber, final Output of laser will produce the wavefront distortion of Medium Optics aberration several times, the beam quality of serious reduction Output of laser, and laser corrugated OPD distributes and in-cavity aberratio distribution does not have simple corresponding relation, cannot realize traditional point-to-point compensation.In addition, because the working point of unsteady cavity is close to critical zone in G parameter plane, when in chamber, element has higher order aberratons, be easy in chamber occur local aperture area without the steady cavity oscillations of coupling output, thus in this zonule, there is the local strong point higher than light intensity 1 to 2 quantity in average cavity, these strong points are easy to the damage causing element in chamber, reduce the reliability of laser.
In order to improve the adverse effect of in-cavity aberratio to unstable cavity laser, at present, research is done a lot of work in two both at home and abroad.First aspect unexpectedly may reduce tracavity optical aberration, specifically comprises and adopt swiftly flowing gas gain medium or adopt unconfinement encapsulation and the solid dielectric of Homogeneous cooling, improve pumping homogeneity etc.But limit by technical merit and embody rule demand, in a lot of situation, high power unstable cavity laser tracavity optical aberration is still stronger.Second aspect is in chamber, place special compensation arrangement, compensates in-cavity aberratio, and the present invention also belongs to this category.In disclosed unsteady cavity chamber, compensation method has following several at present:
1. the capacitance laser of U.S.'s Lao Lunsi-livermore national laboratory is based on the distorting lens compensation way of geometric approximation calculated off-line, and the distorting lens used in its system has Unit 192, and stroke reaches 10 μm.The principle of this compensation method is according to chamber parameter and distorting lens intracavitary locations, under approximation in geometric optics, calculated off-line obtains the relation of distoring mirror shape and round measuring beam corrugated variable quantity, obtain the inverse relationship matrix come and gone between test surface shape and distorting lens element displacement amount, then drive distorting lens to realize real-Time Compensation according to coming and going measuring beam corrugated.Its aberration compensation needs based on the round measurement in unsteady cavity, but which employs a kind of detection light path based on polarization state change, and complex structure, in chamber, insertion element is many, can affect Effect on Detecting when endovenous laser gain media has after thermal stress causes fevering sodium effect.The deviation of light by transmission direction after aberration element is ignored because which employs geometric approximation calculation compensation face type, can only be applicable to be similar to the lasers that aberration is less, higher order aberratons composition is less such as transmission Effects in Crystal Slab Heat Capacity Laser, not there is general applicability.
2. the Yb:YAG thin-sheet laser of Boeing Co. have employed conjugate imaging fixed compensation scheme.Have more than 10 plate sheet shape gain medias in its system, single sheet has high crudy, and Static wavefront distortion is not more than 1/10 λ, and λ equals 632.8nm, in order to avoid producing complicated dynamic aberration, it utilizes complicated how logical Pumping mechanism to achieve very high pumping homogeneity.It also needs to realize 4f conjugate imaging between thin slice in chamber on this basis, on the phase board each thin slice wavefront distortion being imaged in afford redress, and utilize zoom lens to thermic out of focus real-Time Compensation at work, this Laser beam quality control means are high to component requirements in chamber, in resonant cavity, element is many, and 4f imaging optic element focal length and system dimension relevant to gain region size, namely this mode is not suitable for the unsteady cavity solid state laser of heavy caliber gain media, has stronger limitation.
3. " Thinzag " laser of U.S. Da Xin company have employed one way detection subsection deformation mirror independent compensation scheme, in its unsteady cavity, each gain module comprises a set of independently active optics distortion compensation system, namely uses probe source and Hartmann sensor independently measure and use distorting lens independent compensation to each gain unit.In each compensating unit, it adopts 4f imaging system to be imaged on distorting lens by gain lath, and measures the realization compensation of light wave face according to single-pass.In this compensation way chamber, insertion element is more, system complex, and because gain lath has certain length, the conjugate relation can not realized ideal with distorting lens, after compensating in chamber, the beam quality that still can not reach expection promotes effect.
Although above-mentioned several method is compared with the beam quality improving Output of laser before aberration compensation, they all have very strong limitation, cannot be effective to have strong aberration, especially comprise the heavy caliber gain media unstable cavity laser of more higher order aberratons.Meanwhile, these methods or require very high to optical element crudy, or in resonant cavity, insertion element is a lot, or need use multiple compensating element, with high costs and cannot promote the use of.
In addition, outside chamber in the work such as laser beam purification, shaping, in order to avoid the compensating element, face type analytical Calculation of complexity, the global optimization approach such as genetic algorithm, simulated annealing can be adopted by repeatedly compensating trial, detect beam state after compensating, find relatively optimum complementary area type.But, because come and go laser in high power unsteady cavity there is different size, the non-homogeneous extraction of laser also exists significant thermo-optical coupled problem, namely in the non-homogeneous heat-dissipating of gain medium, thermic aberration, chamber, oscillating laser intensity distributions influences each other, when introducing random aberration compensation in chamber, oscillating laser intensity acute variation can be caused, thus produce the change of the distribution of medium heat-dissipating and aberration, make Global Algorithm iteration be difficult to convergence.In superpower laser, even oscillating laser intensity may be caused acutely to reduce or cannot starting of oscillation because introduce random aberration, gain medium heat generation rate sharp increase and cause component wear.Therefore this method cannot be used for unsteady cavity in-cavity aberratio Active Compensation.
