Background
With the rapid development of lasers, various types of lasers have been widely applied to the fields of microscopic imaging, optical measurement and micro-nano processing. In order to ensure the quality of imaging and processing, laser beam shaping becomes a core technology in the field.
To solve this key problem, beam shaping schemes based on devices such as slits, variable diaphragms, micro-lens arrays, deformable mirrors, spatial light modulators, etc. are gradually developed. The silicon-based liquid crystal spatial light modulator is based on the Fourier optical theory, can actively adjust incident laser to implement phase modulation, thereby realizing high-precision and full-range beam shaping, and is widely applied to holographic imaging, phase difference correction in a microscopic system and multi-beam parallel laser processing. However, in the practical implementation process, the standard monitoring means is lacked to evaluate the beam shaping effect, and the conventional method mainly depends on manual observation and judgment before system construction, so that the common operator is difficult to master and the shaping quality is not uniform. During the operation of the system, once the state of the incident laser changes, the incident laser cannot be found in real time and corrected quickly.

Furthermore, the spatial light modulator is fixed on the in-situ rotating table, and the mirror surface arrangement direction of the spatial light modulator is consistent with the polarization direction of the incident laser. The first convex lens and the second convex lens construct a standard 4f system for adjusting the size of the emergent laser beam, and the ratio of the spot diameter of the emergent laser to the spot diameter of the incident laser is f2/f1.

In this embodiment, the spatial light modulator 1 is fixed to the in-situ rotation stage, so that the mirror surface arrangement direction is consistent with the polarization direction of the incident laser.
In this embodiment, the first convex lens and the second convex lens constitute a standard 4f system for adjusting the size of the outgoing laser beam, and the ratio of the spot diameter of the outgoing laser beam to the spot diameter of the incoming laser beam is f2/f 1.
In this embodiment, the beam splitter 2 is a non-polarizing plate beam splitter or a non-polarizing beam splitting cube, the splitting ratio is less than 10: 90 (reflection: transmission), and the distance between the beam splitter and the first convex lens is less than the focal length f1 of the first convex lens.
In this embodiment, the optical path length between the placement position of the beam quality analyzer 5 and the first convex lens is equal to the focal length f1 of the first convex lens.
In this embodiment, the computer 6 is connected with the spatial light modulator 1 and the beam quality analyzer 5 through cables to form a closed-loop feedback system, and the provided control program can acquire measurement data of the beam quality analyzer in real time, calculate an appropriate holographic phase diagram and automatically load the holographic phase diagram to the spatial light modulator until the coincidence rate of the measurement data and the target beam reaches a preset threshold value or more.

Example 1
This embodiment is directed to laser holographic imaging. The incident laser is continuous laser after beam expanding treatment, and the wavelength is 532 nanometers.
