Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is further described in detail by embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the drawings are provided to present some embodiments of the invention, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale with respect to the specific embodiments. The components in the drawings can be adjusted according to actual requirements on the premise of not influencing the technical effect. The appearances of the phrase "in the drawings" or similar language in the specification are not necessarily referring to all drawings or examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
The first embodiment is as follows: a device and a method for generating microwave radiation with controllable frequency by the action of a linear metal antenna target with the length of 14cm and 28cm and laser.
Fig. 1 shows a topology structure of a laser and antenna target interaction induced frequency controllable microwave radiation device according to a first embodiment of the present invention, which includes a femtosecond laser 1, an off-axis parabolic mirror 2, an antenna target 3, an insulating target frame 4, a probe antenna 5, a vacuum chamber 6, a vacuum cable adapter flange 7, an oscilloscope 8, a digital delay generator 9, and a faraday shield box 10. Wherein, the femtosecond laser 1 outputs parallel laser beams which are focused by the off-axis parabolic mirror 2 and then converged to the antenna target 3; the antenna target 3 is fixed on the insulating target frame 4; the detection antenna 5 is connected with an oscilloscope 8 through a vacuum cable adapter flange 7; the digital time delay generator 9 is connected with the femtosecond laser 1 and receives a trigger signal input by the femtosecond laser 1; the oscilloscope 8 is connected with the digital delay trigger 9 and receives a trigger signal input by the digital delay trigger; the off-axis parabolic mirror 2, the antenna target 3, the insulating target frame 4 and the detection antenna 5 are all arranged in a vacuum chamber 6; the oscilloscope 8 and the digital delay generator 9 are placed in a faraday shield box 10.
The mode of operation of the laser and antenna target interaction inducing frequency controllable microwave irradiation apparatus of the present invention described above will be described with reference to fig. 1 to 3.
The experimental light source of the present embodiment is a femtosecond laser 1, which outputs a parallel pulse laser beam with a central wavelength of 800nm, a pulse width of 25fs, an energy of 400mJ, and a diameter of 3mm to the outside, preferably to ensure the laser beam to be transmitted in a vacuum environment. The off-axis parabolic mirror 2 deflects the parallel laser beam generated by the femtosecond laser 1 by 90 degrees and focuses the parallel laser beam to one end of the antenna target 3, and the focused focal spot diameter is adjustable from 6 μm to 60 μm, and is preferably 6 μm.
Among them, as an important feature of the present invention, the antenna target 3 is a solid target to be acted on by a focused laser beam, preferably a straight metal linear rod having a diameter of 1mm, for example, made of metallic copper, and a flat area having a size of about 1mm x 5mm for receiving the laser beam emitted from the laser source is preferably cut on an end face of one end of the rod in its length direction (i.e., axial direction). The plane area is set for the purpose of maximizing the laser focusing light intensity in the embodiment; meanwhile, the size of the plane area is not suitable to be too large so as to prevent the eigen radiation frequency of the antenna from being interfered.
As another important feature of the invention, the antenna target 3 is fixed to an insulating target holder 4 to ensure the electrical isolation of the antenna target 3 from the metal chamber surrounding it (which is usually used in laboratories and is electrically connected to ground), the insulating target holder 4 can be made of the collet type, in which the antenna target 3 is embedded, and it can have any other shape known in the art without departing from its electrical isolation. In contrast to the design of the embodiments of the present invention, in the prior art, a typical metal target is connected to a grounded metal chamber. Under the condition, compared with a metal target, the metal chamber belongs to a huge electrical structure, the integral microwave radiation frequency is mainly limited by the shape characteristics of the whole metal chamber, the appearance structure and the design of the metal target become irrelevant, and the microwave radiation frequency cannot be reasonably regulated and controlled all the time. The present invention overcomes this drawback.
When the laser beam focused by the off-axis parabolic mirror 2 is incident on the end of the antenna target 3 for receiving the laser beam emitted by the laser source, a plasma is generated and a large number of escaping electrons leave the antenna target, which form a pulsed current excitation on the antenna target, which in turn oscillates back and forth on the antenna target. Thus, the oscillating current on the antenna target generates microwave radiation. The frequency of the microwave radiation can be modulated by varying the antenna target length, for example by setting the length to 14cm, 28cm respectively. Specifically, the eigen radiation frequency f of the metal antenna target 3, the length l of the metal antenna target 3, and the speed of light c satisfy the following relationship:
l=c/2f
it can be seen that the larger the size of the antenna, the lower its operating frequency band. This relationship can be utilized to uniquely determine the frequency of a specific corresponding microwave radiation by setting the antenna target to a specific length, and although the antenna target length is set to 14cm and 28cm in the present embodiment, the antenna target length can be set to other lengths, such as 1cm to 1000cm, such as less than 1cm, according to the frequency of microwave radiation that is set as required in practical applications. In application, the inventor finds that higher frequency microwave radiation is more beneficial to protecting electronic equipment from interference or damage, and therefore, the shorter antenna target is more preferred to avoid the frequency band in which the equipment is easily interfered in the actual environment.
The detection antenna 5 (the working frequency range is 50 MHz-2.2 GHz) is connected with an oscilloscope 8 (brand: Take, the working frequency range is DC-2.5 GHz, the model: DPO7254C) through a vacuum cable adapter flange 7 to jointly form a signal detection system for measuring the microwave radiation signal induced by the action of the laser and the antenna target, and finally, the data is exported and subjected to spectrum analysis, so that the corresponding microwave radiation frequency range of the tested antenna target under the irradiation of the laser is accurately known, and the purpose of inducing the microwave radiation with controllable frequency by the action of the laser and the antenna target is realized.
A digital signal delay 9 (brand: Stanford Research Systems, model: DG535) is connected to the femtosecond laser 1 and receives its input trigger signal, and its output is connected to the oscilloscope 8, for ensuring zero delay between the time when the laser reaches the target surface of the antenna and the microwave radiation detection time.
As a preferred form of this embodiment, the above process of this embodiment is carried out in the vacuum chamber 6 to avoid excessive laser focusing power and breakdown of air before reaching the antenna target, and the vacuum chamber is preferably equipped with a non-metallic flange to avoid microwave radiation resonating within the chamber. The vacuum metal cavity environment can be applied to the scenes of experiments like laser fusion and the like, so that high vacuum degree is obtained and high laser focusing intensity is realized.
As a preferred form of the present embodiment, the present embodiment uses the faraday shield box 10 to prevent the microwave radiation signal generated from the antenna target from being directly coupled to the oscilloscope 8 and the digital delay generator 10, thereby ensuring the normal operation thereof.
According to the workflow described above, as shown in fig. 2, the following can be summarized:
step 11 is executed to start, ensure that the components of the device are in place;
step 12 is executed, an oscilloscope, a digital delay generator and a preheated femtosecond laser are started;
step 13 is executed, and the focusing state of the off-axis parabolic mirror is adjusted;
step 14, placing an antenna target action point to a laser focusing position;
step 15, emitting a femtosecond laser beam, focusing the laser beam on an antenna target to generate microwave radiation;
and step 16, recording the generated microwave radiation waveform, and analyzing the frequency spectrum of the microwave radiation waveform to obtain the microwave radiation characteristic parameters of the device.
Therefore, the microwave radiation characteristic parameters corresponding to the antenna target can be obtained, and finally the shape characteristic variables or the intrinsic electrical characteristic variables of the metal antenna target corresponding to the expected target microwave radiation characteristic parameters can be determined through the relationship between the shape characteristic variables or the intrinsic electrical characteristic variables of the metal antenna target and the microwave radiation characteristic parameters.
In summary, a system and method for controlling the frequency of microwave radiation generated by laser interaction with a solid target is shown, according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The inventors have found that commonly used electronics are more susceptible to damage or interference from low frequency microwave radiation signals. Therefore, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a commonly used solid target is modified into a series of linear antenna targets of a specific size by designing the antenna target structure and size, so that the frequency range of the generated microwave radiation is changed from tens or hundreds of mhz of the prior art solid target to the order of gigahertz or even tens of gigahertz which can be realized according to the embodiment one. As shown in fig. 3, in one test, the microwave radiation frequency generated from the 14cm long metal wire type antenna target 3 was about 1GHz, which was 2 times the 0.5GHz microwave frequency generated from the 28cm long metal wire type antenna target 3, as measured from the oscilloscope. This higher frequency microwave radiation may be more effective in avoiding possible damage to the electronics.
According to another embodiment of the invention, the antenna target 3, which is acted upon by the focused laser beam, is a spiral antenna structure of spring-like shape, the eigenfrequency of which is related to the number of spiral cycles, such as a spiral antenna target forming a current loop of N turns, the eigenfrequency of which is inversely proportional to the diameter a of the current loop and the number N of turns:
f~1/(a·N0.5);
the antenna target 3 may be replaced by a birdcage coil antenna structure, such as a low-pass birdcage coil, having an eigenfrequency that is equal to or greater than the capacitance C and inductance L of the birdcage coil and the number N of legs of the birdcage coil
f=2sin(πm/N)/(LC)0.5(wherein m is a positive integer not greater than N/2);
the antenna target 3 can also be replaced by an antenna pattern such as a dipole variable-flare-angle antenna structure, and the radiation frequency of the dipole variable-flare-angle antenna can be modulated by numerical simulation of the curvature and curve profile of a variable flare angle, so that the antenna has flat radiation performance mainly in a high-frequency band.
Variations in the physical characteristics of the metallic antenna target or variations in the intrinsic electrical characteristics of capacitance, inductance, or resistance may be used in accordance with the spirit of the present invention including, but not limited to, the above-described patterns. According to each specific antenna shape characteristic, the shape characteristic variable and the corresponding microwave emission spectrum of the specific antenna target can be accurately measured similarly to embodiment 1, so that the required shape characteristic parameter of the antenna target is selected according to the required microwave spectrum range, and the purpose of inducing frequency-controllable microwave radiation by utilizing the action of laser and the antenna target is achieved.
In another embodiment according to the present invention, the laser source used for the interaction with the antenna target may be any laser source that generates a laser beam in the femtosecond to nanosecond scale, the laser focal spot diameter may be 6 micrometers to 6 millimeters, the laser wavelength may be one of ultraviolet light, visible light, and infrared light, and the laser repetition frequency may be a single shot or up to 100 kHz.
In any embodiment according to the invention, the means for controlling the signal delay may be any brand of instrument of the prior art, but it is desirable to have the function of adjusting the time delay of the electrical signal in the nanosecond to millisecond time scale. The oscilloscope used for signal acquisition can also be any brand instrument in the prior art, but the requirements of microwave signal acquisition bandwidth and time precision are required to be met.
In any embodiment according to the present invention, the material of the antenna target 3 is a metal material that is beneficial for generating electromagnetic radiation, such as copper, gold, silver or other conductive materials, including but not limited to the above materials.
In any embodiment according to the present invention, the insulating target holder 4 is designed to hold the antenna target 2 and electrically insulate the antenna target 2 from the grounded vacuum chamber 6, and the insulating target holder 4 may have any other shape known in the art without departing from its electrically isolating properties, such as a bottom-mounted type in which the antenna target 3 is embedded or a jig type in which the antenna target 3 is suspended. The purpose of the electrical insulation or the electrical isolation is to directly regulate and control the intrinsic characteristics of the antenna target, such as the axial length, the number of the spiral coils and other respective appearance characteristics and electrical characteristics such as capacitance, inductance or resistance and the like, without being interfered by the metal cavity, so as to modulate the microwave frequency of radiation and realize the effect of inducing the frequency controllable microwave radiation by regulating the characteristics of the antenna target.
The invention is based on an antenna radiation mechanism and can generate microwave radiation with adjustable frequency in the interaction of laser and substances. Is not discovered and realized by the currently known research. Hopefully provides a method and a device for regulating and controlling microwave radiation in the laser fusion process. Meanwhile, the controllable microwave radiation generated by the action of the laser and the substance can be regarded as the microwave radiation driven by an optical means, and is beneficial to supplement the currently and generally adopted electric means for driving the microwave radiation.
