Description

Method for determining defocusing amount of laser in femtosecond laser polishing process of optical element
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of mechanical precision manufacturing engineering, in particular to a method for determining the defocusing amount of laser in a process of laser polishing an optical element in a femtosecond laser.
Background
The precision forming technology of optical materials focuses on the size, properties and surface roughness of the optical materials to meet correspondingly strict manufacturing requirements. The optical material has the processing characteristics of hard and brittle materials, and is characterized in that the optical material is not easy to deform under the action of external force and has low fracture toughness, the elastic limit and the strength of the material are close, and the polishing modes of optical elements are currently divided into three types. The first is conventional mechanical polishing, the second is plasma beam polishing, and the third is laser polishing. The traditional machining method is usually 'hard-to-hard', and the machining method usually generates defects such as cracks, surface damages and the like on the machined surface during machining, and the defects seriously affect the service characteristics of the optical material. Ion beam machining and laser machining, both of which avoid contact of the material with the tool during machining, with the energy beam instead of the material, are considered to have no contact stress. And the energy beam can be focused in a tiny action radius, so that the processing precision is greatly improved, and the nano-scale processing taking atoms as a measurement unit can be realized. Meanwhile, compared with ion beam polishing, laser polishing has lower requirements on processing environment, and meanwhile, compared with an ion beam generating device, the laser emitting device is relatively simple.
With the existing laser polishing method, the polishing result of the optical element by the femtosecond laser is optimal, and since the removing mechanism of the optical material by the femtosecond laser is a cold removing mechanism and the thermal influence on the rest of the material is small, there have been many researches on the femtosecond laser polishing of the optical element. However, since the laser polishing process has complex influencing factors and more processing parameters which are related to each other, it is complicated and tedious to find suitable polishing parameters at the present stage. Defocusing amount (distance between a laser focus and the surface of a material) is used as an important influence factor in the femtosecond laser polishing process, and how to determine the proper defocusing amount is an urgent problem to be solved in engineering. The existing solution is to estimate a proper defocus amount through experimental summary, a large amount of experiments are performed to determine the proper defocus amount after the structures of the processing material and the processing surface are changed, the scanning speed of laser polishing is limited, and the laser is preheated for a long time before the experiments, so that the process of selecting proper processing parameters becomes very slow. And no method can accurately determine the optimal defocus amount when the optical element is polished by the femtosecond laser at present.
