Description

Laser power meter
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of laser radiation parameter measurement, relates to a laser power measurement device, and in particular relates to a high-power laser power meter.
Background
In recent years, high-power laser technology is becoming mature and widely used in various fields. In the process, the output power of the laser is continuously improved, for example, the optical fiber laser which is the fastest in recent years, the output power of a single module is over ten thousand watts, and the output power of multimode laser breaks through 100kW. As laser power levels increase, corresponding laser power measurement devices are required to monitor and evaluate performance. The current high-power laser power meter commonly adopts a thermal method to measure the laser power, but the measurement accuracy, response speed and laser damage resistance cannot meet the measurement requirements of the current high-power laser. 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 the temperature drift easily occurs. In addition, the existing laser power meter has larger thermal resistance in the heat conduction process, long heat balance time and slower response of the power meter. In addition, the existing laser power meter has lower beam expansion of incident laser, uneven laser power density distribution on an absorption surface, poor laser damage resistance and high probability of being damaged by the laser in the measuring process.
Therefore, it is very necessary to develop a novel laser power meter, which improves the measurement accuracy and response speed, and also improves the laser damage resistance of the laser power meter so as to better meet the measurement requirements of the current high-power laser.

The absorber is formed by processing a whole piece of high-heat-conductivity material and comprises an absorption target surface, a flow guide component, a heat dissipation component and the like, and can realize the functions of light absorption, photo-thermal conversion, heat energy conduction, measurement, cooling and the like.
The absorption target surface is opposite to the laser entrance of the shell and comprises a series of concentric V-shaped annular grooves, so that the absorption area of incident laser can be increased, the laser power density can be reduced, and the laser damage resistance can be improved. The absorption target surface can also improve the absorptivity of laser through a surface treatment process, so that the measurement accuracy is improved.
The purpose of the flow guide assembly is to measure the temperature inside the absorber. The flow guide assembly comprises a group of flow guide column arrays, and temperature sensors are respectively arranged at two ends of a hole between the flow guide columns and used for measuring the temperature of the hot end and the cold end in the absorber body.

The absorption target surface, the flow guide component and the heat dissipation component are sequentially arranged along the transmission direction of the laser to be measured and integrated, and are formed by processing a whole piece of high-heat-conductivity material. Commonly employed materials include, but are not limited to, pure copper, oxygen free copper, pure aluminum, aluminum alloys, and the like.
The housing may include a front housing and a rear housing. The front shell comprises a laser entrance port and an electric connection port. The rear shell comprises a water inlet and a water outlet and is respectively communicated with external cooling water.

The absorber 1 has an absorption target surface 101 at the front end thereof for absorbing energy of incident laser light and converting the energy into heat energy. In order to improve the absorptivity of the incident laser, the absorbing target surface 101 is processed into a V-shaped circular groove structure with a sharp bottom, and a surface treatment process is adopted on the absorbing target surface 101 to improve the absorptivity of the absorbing target surface 101 to the laser.
The absorbent body 1 further comprises a baffle assembly 102. The flow guiding component 102 is a flow guiding column array formed by a series of flow guiding columns with the same size and arranged at equal intervals, and a series of holes are arranged between adjacent flow guiding columns. One end of the flow guide column, which is close to the target surface, is a hot end, and one end of the flow guide column, which is close to the heat dissipation assembly, is a cold end. The temperature sensors are respectively arranged at the hot end and the cold end of the hole between the adjacent guide posts, 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 by calculation, and the power of the incident laser can be calculated.
The rear end of the absorber 1 is a heat dissipation component 103. The heat dissipation component 103 is a heat dissipation fin structure, that is, is formed by a series of heat dissipation fins with equal thickness which are arranged at equal intervals. The heat dissipation component 103 is placed in a circulating water environment to realize heat dissipation, so that the temperature of the absorber 1 is ensured not to exceed the allowable highest temperature, and the safety and normal function of equipment are ensured.
The middle protruding part of the absorber 1 is a mounting flange for being mounted and fixed with the shell. The mounting flange comprises a sealing groove 5 for mounting a sealing rubber ring, and cooling water is sealed in a closed space around the heat dissipation assembly, so that water is prevented from leaking. A series of mounting holes are formed in the periphery of the mounting flange and used for fixing the mounting flange and the shell through screws.
The housing 2 includes a front housing 201 and a rear housing 202. The front housing 201 has a hole in the middle of its front end as the laser entrance port 3 for measurement. The laser entrance port 3 is disposed concentrically with the absorption target surface 101 of the absorber 1. The side of the front housing 201 also includes an opening for passing through an electrical cable connected to the temperature sensor and connected to an external meter. The rear end of the rear housing 202 is provided with a water inlet 4 and a water outlet 3 respectively for connecting an external water inlet pipe and an external water outlet pipe.
The housing 2 further comprises a fixing assembly 6 for mounting and fixing the laser power meter via a corresponding support assembly.
The working process of the laser power meter is as follows:
The laser to be measured is irradiated to the laser entrance 3 of the laser power meter, 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 guiding component 102, the temperature change of the flow guiding column, namely the temperature change of the absorber due to the absorption of the laser energy, is caused. The temperature signal is collected by a plurality of temperature sensors distributed at the hot end and the cold end and is transmitted to an instrument or a computer system connected with the temperature sensors and responsible for control and display, and the laser power value to be measured is obtained through further data analysis and processing. In the working process of the laser power meter, external cooling water cools and dissipates heat of the absorber 1 through the water inlet 4 and the water outlet 3.
