Description

Laser power meter
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of laser radiation parameter measurement, relates to a laser power measuring device, and particularly relates to a high-power laser power meter.
Background
In recent years, high-power laser technology has become mature and widely used in various fields. In the process, the output power of the laser is continuously improved, for example, in the fastest-developing fiber laser in recent years, the output power of a single module reaches more than ten thousand watts, and the output power of multimode laser breaks through 100 kW. With the increase of the laser power level, corresponding laser power measuring equipment needs to be equipped for performance monitoring and evaluation. The conventional high-power laser power meter generally adopts a calorimetric method to measure the laser power, but cannot meet the measurement requirements of the conventional high-power laser in the aspects of measurement accuracy, response speed and laser damage resistance. This is because, on the one hand, most of the existing laser power meters measure the surface temperature of the absorber, not the internal temperature, and therefore, the temperature measurement error is large and temperature drift is easy to occur. In addition, the existing laser power meter has large thermal resistance in the heat conduction process, long heat balance time and slow response of the power meter. In addition, the existing laser power meter has low beam expanding ratio to incident laser, and the laser power density on an absorption surface is not uniformly distributed, so that the laser damage resistance is poor, and the probability of damage by laser in the measuring process is very high.
Therefore, it is very necessary to develop a new laser power meter to improve the measurement accuracy and response speed, and also to improve the laser damage resistance of the laser power meter to better meet the measurement requirement of the current high-power laser.

The front end of the absorber 1 is an absorption target 101 for absorbing the energy of the incident laser light and converting it into thermal energy. In order to improve the absorptivity of incident laser, the absorption target surface 101 is processed into a V-shaped circular groove structure with a sharp bottom, and a surface treatment process is performed on the absorption target surface 101 to improve the absorptivity of the laser.
The absorption body 1 further comprises a flow guiding member 102. The flow guide assembly 102 is a flow guide column array formed by arranging a series of flow guide columns with the same size at equal intervals, and a series of holes are formed between every two adjacent flow guide columns. The end of the flow guide column close to the target surface is a hot end, and the end close to the heat dissipation assembly is a cold end. A plurality of temperature sensors are respectively arranged at the hot end and the cold end of the hole between the adjacent flow guide columns, so that the temperature of the hot end and the cold end in the absorber in the heat conduction process can be measured, the temperature difference can be obtained through calculation, and the power of incident laser can be calculated.
The rear end of the absorber 1 is a heat dissipation assembly 103. The heat dissipation assembly 103 is a heat dissipation plate structure, i.e. a series of heat dissipation plates with equal thickness are arranged at equal intervals. The heat dissipation assembly 103 is placed in a circulating water environment to realize heat dissipation, and the temperature of the absorber 1 is ensured not to exceed the allowed maximum temperature, so that the safety and the normal function of the equipment are ensured.
The middle protruding part of the absorber 1 is a mounting flange and is used for mounting and fixing with the shell. The mounting flange comprises a sealing groove 5 for mounting a sealing rubber ring, and the cooling water is sealed in a closed space around the heat dissipation assembly, so that water leakage is avoided. A series of mounting holes are formed in the periphery of the mounting flange and used for achieving fixation with the shell through screws.
The housing 2 includes a front housing 201 and a rear housing 202. The middle position of the front end of the front shell 201 is provided with a hole as a laser incidence port 3 during measurement. The laser light entrance port 3 is provided concentrically with the absorption target surface 101 of the absorber 1. The side of the front housing 201 also includes an opening for passing an electrical cable connected to the temperature sensor and connecting to an external meter. The rear end of the rear shell 202 is provided with a water inlet 4 and a water outlet 3 respectively for connecting with an external water inlet pipe and an external water outlet pipe.
The shell 2 further comprises a fixing component 6 used for installing and fixing the laser power meter through a corresponding supporting component.
The working process of the laser power meter is as follows:
the laser to be detected is aligned to the laser entrance port 3 of the laser power meter for irradiation, the laser is absorbed by the absorption target surface 101 of the absorber 1, converted into heat and conducted from the front end to the rear end along the absorber 1, and when the heat flow passes through the flow guide assembly 102, the temperature change of the flow guide column is caused, namely the temperature change generated by the absorption of laser energy in the absorber. The temperature signals are collected by a plurality of temperature sensors distributed at the hot end and the cold end, transmitted to an external instrument or a computer system connected with the temperature sensors and responsible for control and display, and subjected to further data analysis processing to obtain the laser power value to be detected.
