Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a large-caliber ultrashort pulse sampling device of the present invention. As can be seen from the figure, the large-caliber ultrashort pulse sampling device of the present invention comprises a sampling mirror 10 and a beam space shaper 20,
the sampling mirror 10 comprises a substrate 11, a front surface 12 and a rear surface 13 in a sampling mirror hole, wherein the caliber of the substrate 11 is larger than the area of the front surface of the sampling mirror 10 acted by a light beam, and the material transmittance and uniformity meet the light beam sampling requirement; setting a corresponding number of rear surface processing transmission channels 111 according to the number of sampling points, wherein each set of processing transmission channels 111 comprises a processing channel 1111 and an optical transmission channel 1112, and the bottoms of the processing channels 1111 and the optical transmission channel 1112 are overlapped with the rear surface 13 in the sampling mirror hole; the processing channel 1111 is used for ensuring that an apparatus for processing the inner rear surface 3) of the sampling lens hole can reach, and a coating material on the inner rear surface 13 of the sampling lens hole can reach; the optical transmission channel 1112 is a full aperture transmission channel of the sampling beam, and the channel wall is not irradiated by the sampling beam;

the inner back surface 13 of the sampling lens hole is positioned at the bottom of the processing and conveying channel 111 of the substrate 11, and the maximum distance d from the front surface 12 meets two conditions: firstly, the integral of a sampling light beam B is not more than 1, and secondly, the introduced pulse width broadening quantity meets the requirement of the measurement precision of the pulse width to be measured;
the beam space shaper 20 is tightly attached to the rear surface 13 of the sampling lens hole.
The beam space shaper 20 is a sawtooth diaphragm, a graded-transmittance soft-edge diaphragm, or a binary soft-edge diaphragm, and ensures that the transmittance is slowly reduced from approximately 1 to 0 along the radial direction, so as to eliminate the hard-edge diffraction during the transmission of the sampling beam.
Examples
The main beam is incident on the front surface 12 of the sampling mirror 10, the front surface 12 having a transmittance T1Most of the energy is reflected and a small part of the energy is transmitted into the substrate 11. The transmitted beam passes through the back surface 13 of the sample aperture, which is coated with an anti-reflective coating.
The pulse width of the designed light beam is t 15Fs (FWHM), the pulse energy E is 400J, and the central wavelength omega0The design and estimation were carried out by selecting fused silica glass as the material of the sampling mirror, 800nm, 200nm (base width) as the spectral width D ω, and 500mm as the beam diameter D.
The diameter of a sampling beam is designed to be 10mm, the energy of the beam for measuring the pulse width under the caliber generally needs to reach the hundred micro-focus level, certain redundancy is considered, and the value of the sampling energy is designed to be 1 mJ. Main beam energy flux density F0Comprises the following steps:
Figure BDA0002759807710000051
wherein E is the main laser pulse energy, and D is the aperture of the main laser beam. Then the beam energy E is sampledsComprises the following steps:
Figure BDA0002759807710000052
wherein, T1For the sample mirror transmittance, A is the sample beam diameter, F0Is the main beam energy flux density. In this example, after determining the relevant parameters, the transmittance T can be obtained1It is designed to be about 3 per mill, and the power density is:
Figure BDA0002759807710000053
where t is the pulse width. In this example IsAbout 85Gw/cm2. Under the condition of the power density, calculating the B integral Sigma B of the sampling optical path through the sampling mirror,

wherein n is the refractive index of the sampling mirror material, n2For second order nonlinear coefficients, the fused silica is: n is2=3.2×10- 16cm2W, the carry-over correlation value:
Figure BDA0002759807710000062
changing I to 85Gw/cm2The raw materials are brought into the device,
ΣB=0.24d
wherein d is the distance from the inner rear surface of the sampling lens hole to the front surface of the sampling lens, and the unit is mm; the integral of the beam B is controlled to be within 1, and thus the maximum value of d is 4 mm.
The time broadening introduced by the group velocity dispersion of the fused silica glass is then examined. As shown in fig. 2, after the main laser beam enters the sampling mirror, the transmitted beam enters the substrate of the sampling mirror, the beam is refracted, and after the beam is transmitted for a certain distance, the beam emitted from the rear surface in the sampling mirror hole is the sampling beam. The incident angle of the main laser is alpha, and the refraction angle of the main laser entering the sampling mirror is beta:
Figure BDA0002759807710000063
wherein n is the refractive index of the sampling mirror material.
Calculating the optical path and time of the sampling beam from the incident main laser wavefront plane to the central wavelength wavefront plane of the emergent sampling beam, and calculating the optical path P of the central wavelength from the central wavelength to the plane0Comprises the following steps:

The optical path length P from other wavelength beams to the plane is as follows:
Figure BDA0002759807710000071
from this the phase equation of the beam can be written,
Figure BDA0002759807710000072
the theoretical equation of the pulse width broadening of the light beam is as follows:
Figure BDA0002759807710000073
wherein, tau is the width of the pulse width to be measured, phi(2)The second derivative of the phase function with respect to the angular frequency ω, in this example,
Figure BDA0002759807710000074
wherein c is the speed of light in vacuum, n is the refractive index of the sampling beam in the sampling mirror material, alpha is 45 degrees, the processing difficulty and d are comprehensively considered<4mm restriction, d 2 mm. Adopts fused quartz material n-1.4671, GVD-36.163 fs2/mm,dn/dλ=-0.017284μm-1Substituting the formula to obtain:
φ(2)=33.2fs2
by this inference, for a pulse of 15fs, the amount of pulse broadening introduced is 0.6fs, or 4%. Considering an uncertainty of about 20% for the measurement of ultrashort pulses, the effect of material dispersion on the pulse width measurement is negligible. If further improvement in measurement accuracy is required, the thickness d of the sampling mirror needs to be reduced, which can have a positive effect on both the control of the B-integration and the pulse width measurement accuracy.
When the sampling light beam is transmitted, in order to avoid the light field modulation caused by the hard edge diffraction, a soft edge diaphragm is arranged on the rear surface in the hole to shape the sampling light beam. The existing sawtooth diaphragms, gradient transmittance soft edge diaphragms, and binary soft edge diaphragms are all used for realizing the soft edge diaphragms.
Experiments show that the device provided by the invention is provided with the opening on the sampling mirror substrate, can realize ultra-strong ultra-short pulse fidelity sampling, and can ensure effective transmission of sampling beams by adopting a beam space shaping device. The device fully considers the time domain and frequency domain characteristics of the ultrashort pulse, and the pulse broadening quantity added by the sampling mirror does not affect the pulse width.
