Description

Laser polarization state measuring device and measuring method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of laser, in particular to a laser polarization state measuring device and a measuring method thereof.
Background
With the development of laser technology, the performance parameters of lasers are receiving more and more attention. The polarization state is an important property of laser, and in many application fields of laser, such as optimization of laser cutting efficiency, laser coherent combination effect, sodium beacon laser light return efficiency, laser frequency doubling/sum frequency efficiency and the like, polarization control of laser cannot be separated, and the premise of realizing effective control and effect evaluation is accurate measurement of the laser polarization state. The main methods for measuring the polarization state parameters include a mechanical method and a partial amplitude method, and the mechanical method is limited in wide application because of the limited time response speed; the partial amplitude method can simultaneously measure four Stokes parameters of the laser, and the detector can be matched according to the test requirement, so that the method is widely applied. In 2017, li ningxin et al in patent publication no: CN107271041A discloses a laser polarization state measuring instrument for measuring the polarization state of laser based on a partial amplitude method. In 2008, wang xiaoman et al, in patent publication No.: CN101303256 discloses an embedded polarization state measuring instrument based on liquid crystal. The laser polarization state measuring device disclosed above mostly adopts multiple groups of photoelectric detectors for detection, is not beneficial to system integration and relatively complex in light path adjustment, and the whole measuring system cannot be small in size, so that the use is inconvenient. Polarization measuring instruments aiming at small-caliber common continuous laser polarization state testing are common in the current market; however, for the polarization state measurement of centimeter-level caliber, high repetition frequency and short pulse laser, no mature instrument well meeting the polarization measurement requirement is available, and research and development are urgently needed for the polarization measurement technology and the measurement device of the laser.
