Description

Gas composition and carbon dioxide laser system for carbon dioxide laser
Technical field
The present invention relates to field of laser device technology, and in particular to a kind of gas composition for carbon dioxide laser and Carbon dioxide laser system.
Background technology
Gas laser is typically to generate light by the excitation of gas medium, and carbon dioxide laser is to use titanium dioxide The mixture of carbon, nitrogen and helium is as gas medium.Carbon dioxide passes through the energy excitation that is added in gas mixing to higher Energy state, the carbon dioxide that is stimulated returns to low energy state and forms the transition of energy to generate laser, and nitrogen contributes to Excitation carbon dioxide simultaneously improves the efficiency for generating light;And the intervention of helium, buffer gas can be played the role of, helped in gas medium Heat transfer, and carbon dioxide is helped to drop to ground state from low-lying level.Carbon dioxide laser resonant cavity gas is in a variety of manners It provides, to meet the requirement of specific laser design and laser manufacturer.For example, there is some carbon dioxide laser resonant cavity gases It is to convey and mix by separate gas cylinder, is carried out before entering laser resonator or in laser resonance intracavitary Mixing.Also some laser resonator gases are pre-mixed, and are supplied directly to laser resonator.Also some cases Under, it is that the laser resonator gas that will be mixed has been sealed directly in Optical Maser System.
Under normal conditions, contain a large amount of halogenated hydrocarbons in Optical Maser System in the gas of compression, storage or conduction.Halogenated hydrocarbons Quantity can be changed according to the difference of design, also with laser generate the situation of equipment it is related.Halogenated hydrocarbon compound is comprising carbon With at least one halogen such as bromine, chlorine, the compound of fluorine or iodine.Two subclass of halohydrocarbon are that chlorocarbon and carbon fluorination are closed Object.Chlorocarbon includes carbon and chlorine, and fluorocarbon includes carbon and fluorine.Typical halogenated hydrocarbon compound such as trifluoro chloroethene Alkene (CTFE) and perfluoropolyether (PFPE) are used for lubricant, such as gas compressor lubricant, sealing element and are generated for laser The O-ring of equipment.Sometimes fluorocarbons and chlorocarbon can also be mixed to obtain required operating characteristic.
The transfer efficiency of carbon dioxide laser resonant cavity gas containing halogenated hydrocarbons and service life are usually by laser system It can all decrease after system component.When halogenated hydrocarbon compound is present in laser resonator gas with the concentration more than about 100ppt When middle, what halogenated hydrocarbon compound can cause to send out from laser resonator is usually that pink is existing to the white flicker of the light of purple The interruption of elephant.In addition, in the case of given laser power output, contain the total halogenated hydrocarbons concentration for having more than 100ppt with using The laser of carbon dioxide laser resonant cavity gas-operated compare, include the titanium dioxide that total halogenated hydrocarbons concentration is less than about 100ppt The input energy that carbon laser resonator gas generates needed for laser wants low.Above-mentioned two mentioned problems can all lead to laser The reduction of power efficiency, in the case of no any detailed theoretical foundation, it is believed that these problems are all by humorous in laser Caused by the dissociation of the halogenated hydrocarbon compound chemical chain of length in the high energy field generated in chamber of shaking.The chemical chain of dissociation group again Synthesis contaminant compound unrelated and rodent with system, such as hydrogen chloride (HCl), hydrogen fluoride (HF) and other destructivenesses Chemical chain.When laser is reflected and projected in resonant cavity, these contaminant compounds can influence laser and effectively pass through Optical element.As a result, the durability of these optical elements is greatly lowered.
Further, since the pollutant gathered on optical element in Optical Maser System, it is generally necessary to stop laser Operation, such as the optical element in laser resonator was cleaned or replaced per every about 600-1200 hours.In general, laser manufactures Quotient suggests that optical element is cleaned or replaced after using about 2000 hours.Determine other of the frequency of cleaning or replacement optical element Factor include the purity of gas, the integrality of gas supply device, laser resonator operation power, optical element quality with And the work period of laser.Cost may be reduced when in addition, though cleaning optical element every time, rather than replaces swash every time Optical element will be replaced when optical resonator, but the cost for safeguarding or cleaning laser is still very high, because this cost may It can be repeated as many times every year.
In general, with the increase of laser output power, the purity requirement for carbon dioxide laser resonant cavity gas Become more stringent.For carbon dioxide laser, the output power for generating about 2.5 to 6 kilowatts is very typical, and The purity that the carbon dioxide laser of early stage uses is relatively low, and carbon dioxide laser resonant cavity gas generates about 1 to 1.5 kilowatt defeated Go out power.The purity of compressed gas is defined as follows:
Purity Rank Total impurities
99.9999% 6N 1ppm
99.9995% 5N5 5ppm
99.999% 5N 10ppm
99.995% 4N5 50ppm
99.99% 4N 100ppm
Limitation on the harmful or bad pollutant that may influence laser performance, such as moisture or total hydrocarbon contain It measures (THC), has usually dictated otherwise to certain number of 9 purity or " 9 grades ", as shown above.For example, carbon dioxide laser The gas purity of device industry requires:
The standard carbon dioxide laser resonant cavity gas used in industry can be with about 35 to 50ppm gross contamination object.It is high It can frequently result in laser resonator in these limitations moisture and total hydrocarbon content and go wrong.Although not measuring usually Or the concentration of control halogenated hydrocarbons, but since the condition of natural gas plant equipment limits, the Laser industry calibrating gas from gasification plant In gas halogenated hydrocarbons concentration range be about 0.5ppm to 1ppm.It is halogenated there are many may containing in total halogenated hydrocarbons in these gases Hydrocarbon compound.
