Detailed Description
The accompanying drawings illustrate embodiments of the present disclosure and it is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely examples of the disclosure, which can be embodied in various forms, and therefore, specific details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the present disclosure.
Referring to fig. 1 to 6, the solid-state laser 100 includes a seed source optical fiber package 1, a seed source output optical fiber jumper 2, a seed source optical fiber output port 3, a laser amplification cavity 4, and a laser sealing assembly 5.
The seed source optical circuit packaging box 1 is used for packaging a corresponding device (not shown) for generating a seed light pulse. The seed source optical path enclosure 1 may be, but is not limited to, a fiber SESAM mode-locked pulsed seed source.
The seed source output optical fiber jumper 2 is used for outputting the seed light pulse of the seed source optical path packaging box 1.
The seed source optical fiber output port 3 is used as an output port of the seed light pulse and is connected with the seed source output optical fiber jumper 2. The seed source output optical fiber jumper 2 and the seed source optical fiber output port 3 can be connected together by means of optical fiber fusion for example. The seed source optical fiber output port 3 can be an FC-APC seed source optical fiber output port or an SMA905 seed source optical fiber output port, but is not limited thereto, and the seed source optical fiber output port 3 can be any type of standard optical fiber output port.
The laser amplification cavity 4 is used for receiving the seed light pulse output by the seed source optical fiber output port 3 and performing solid laser amplification.
The outer wall 41 of the laser amplification cavity 4 is provided with a through hole 412, and the through hole 412 is used for the seed source output optical fiber jumper 2 and the seed source optical fiber output port 3 which are connected together to penetrate into the laser amplification cavity 4.
The sealing assembly 5 for the laser is used for sealing the seed source output optical fiber jumper 2 and the seed source optical fiber output port 3 which are connected together and penetrate into the laser amplification cavity 4 on the outer wall 41 of the laser amplification cavity 4.
Referring to fig. 2, 4 to 6, the seal assembly 5 for a laser includes an inner seal member 51 and an outer seal member 52.
The inner seal member 51 is a unitary one-piece member. The inner seal 51 is manufactured by a suitable manufacturing process depending on the use of the material, for example, if the inner seal 51 is a rubber seal, injection molding may be used. If the inner seal 51 is a rubber seal, sealing can be achieved by sufficiently utilizing the elastic expansion and contraction characteristics of rubber.
The inner seal 51 includes a first housing 511, a first flange 512, and a post 513.
The first housing 511 has a first cavity 511a and opposite first and second ends 511b and 511c along the axial direction D, the first housing 511 has a first opening 511D at the first end 511b and a second opening 511e at the second end 511c, and the first opening 511D has a diameter larger than that of the second opening 511 e. As shown, the profile of the first housing 511 may be approximately hemispherical. When installed, as shown in fig. 4, the laser covers the through hole 412 with the first housing 511 of the inner seal 51 of the seal assembly 5 in the axial direction D.
A first flange 512 integrally projects radially outwardly from the peripheral edge at the first end 511b of the first housing 511, the first flange 512 being adapted to abut against the outer wall 41 of the laser amplification chamber 4 of the solid state laser 100 in the axial direction D. The first flange 512 is tightly attached to the outer wall 41 of the laser amplification cavity 4 of the solid-state laser 100, so that the mounted seed source output optical fiber jumper 2 and the seed source optical fiber output port 3 can be sealed through the outer wall 41 of the laser amplification cavity 4 at the position passing through the through hole 412. Note that the first flange 512 is formed around the entire circumference at the first end 511b of the first housing 511.
The protruding pillar 513 integrally protrudes from the end wall at the second end 511c of the first housing 511 in the axial direction D, the protruding pillar 513 has a through hole 513a penetrating through the protruding pillar 513 in the axial direction D, the through hole 513a communicates with the second opening 511e of the first housing 511, and the through hole 513a, the second opening 511e and the first cavity 511a are used for the seed source output optical fiber jumper 2 and the seed source optical fiber output port 3 connected together to pass through in a sealing manner, and further pass through the outer wall 41 of the laser amplification cavity 4 of the solid-state laser 100 to enter the inside of the laser amplification cavity 4. When mounted, the through hole 513a of the post 513 of the inner seal 51 is aligned with the through hole 412 in the axial direction D for the seed source output optical fiber jumper 2 and the seed source optical fiber output port 3 connected together to pass through the through hole 513a of the post 513 of the inner seal 51 and the first cavity 511a of the first housing 511 of the inner seal 51, the through hole 412 of the outer wall 41 of the laser amplification cavity 4 into the laser amplification cavity 4.
The outer seal 52 is a one-piece, unitary member. The outer seal 5 is manufactured by a suitable manufacturing process depending on the use of the material, for example, if the outer seal 52 is a rubber seal, injection molding may be used. If the outer seal 52 is a rubber seal, the elastic expansion and contraction characteristics of the rubber can be sufficiently utilized to achieve sealing. Of course, since the outer seal member 52 is fitted over the inner seal member 51, the hardness of the outer seal member 52 is greater than that of the inner seal member 51 in order to allow both members to exert the elastic expansion and contraction action of the rubber material.
The outer seal 52 includes a second housing 521 and a second flange 522.
The second housing 521 has a second cavity 521a and a third end 521b and a fourth end 521c opposite to each other in the axial direction D, the second housing 521 has a third opening 521D at the third end 521b and a fourth opening 521e at the fourth end 521c, and the diameter of the third opening 521D is larger than that of the fourth opening 521 e. As shown, the second housing 521 may be approximately hemispherical in profile. The second housing 521 is used for being sleeved on the first housing 511 along the axial direction D, and the fourth opening 521e is used for allowing the protruding column 513 of the inner seal 51 to pass through, as shown in fig. 4, the first housing 511 is received in the second cavity 521a of the second housing 521.
A second flange 522 projects radially outwardly integrally from the peripheral edge at the third end 521b of the second housing 521, the second flange 522 being adapted to sealingly abut in the axial direction D against the first flange 512 of the inner seal 51 and in the axial direction D against the outer wall 41 of the laser amplification cavity 4 of the solid state laser 100. The second flange 522 is tightly attached to the outer wall 41 of the laser amplification cavity 4 along the axial direction D, so that the mounted seed source output optical fiber jumper 2 and the seed source optical fiber output port 3 can be sealed through the outer wall 41 of the laser amplification cavity 4 at the position passing through the through hole 412. Note that the second flange 522 is formed around the entire circumference at the third end 521b of the second housing 521. Note also that in fig. 4, in order to show the assembled relationship, a state is shown in which the second flange 522 is spaced apart from the outer wall 41 of the laser amplification chamber 4. The second flange 522 sealingly abuts the first flange 512 of the inner seal 51 in the axial direction D, the second flange 522 of the outer seal 52 and the first flange 512 of the inner seal 51 forming a seal.
When the inner seal 51 and the outer seal 52 are assembled together, the post 513 of the inner seal 51 forms a seal with the second housing 521 of the outer seal 52 at the fourth opening 521e of the second housing 521 of the outer seal 52.
In the sealing assembly 5 for the laser, when the inner sealing piece 51 and the outer sealing piece 52 are assembled together, the sealing contact of the first flange 512 and the outer wall 41 of the laser amplification cavity 4 is sealed around the through hole 412 of the outer wall 41 of the laser amplification cavity 4, and the sealing contact of the second flange 522 and the outer wall 41 of the laser amplification cavity 4 is sealed for one time, so that the sealing performance of the mounted seed source output optical fiber jumper 2 and the seed source optical fiber output port 3 passing through the through hole 412 of the outer wall 41 of the laser amplification cavity 4 is improved through the two seals.
In the sealing assembly 5 for the laser, when the inner sealing element 51 and the outer sealing element 52 are assembled together, the sealing abutment of the second flange 522 of the outer sealing element 52 and the first flange 512 of the inner sealing element 51 realizes one seal, the pillar 513 of the inner sealing element 51 and the second housing 521 of the outer sealing element 52 form another seal at the fourth opening 521e of the second housing 521 of the outer sealing element 52, and the two seals realize the seal between the inner sealing element 51 and the outer sealing element 52, even if the external air enters between the second flange 522 and the outer wall 41 of the laser amplification cavity 4, the entering air is changed into the gap between the first housing 511 and the second housing 521 by the resistance caused by the sealing relationship between the first flange 512 and the outer wall 41 of the laser amplification cavity 4 (i.e. based on the principle of minimum force action), which is also applicable to the case where the external air enters 521 from between the pillar 513 of the inner sealing element 51 and the second housing 521 of the outer sealing element 52, in an extreme case, when external air enters not only between the second flange 522 and the outer wall 41 of the laser amplification chamber 4 but also between the protruding column 513 of the inner seal 51 and the second housing 521 of the outer seal 52, the two portions of the entering air form a communicating relationship, and based on the principle of minimum action of force, the air still cannot enter the first chamber 511a, thereby improving the sealing performance of the connected seed source output optical fiber jumper 2 and the seed source optical fiber output port 3 passing through the through hole 412 of the outer wall 41 of the laser amplification chamber 4.
In the seal assembly 5 for a laser, when the inner seal 51 and the outer seal 52 are assembled together and assembled with the connected seed source output optical fiber jumpers 2 and the seed source optical fiber output ports 3, a seal is formed between the post 513 of the inner seal 51 and the seed source output optical fiber jumpers 2 penetrating into the through holes 513 a.
In the sealing assembly 5 for the laser, when the inner sealing element 51 and the outer sealing element 52 are assembled together, an accommodating space is formed between the first housing 511 and the second housing 521, the protruding column 513 of the sealing element 51 is in sealing contact with the seed source output optical fiber jumper 2 penetrating into the through hole 513a, especially when the two are made of rubber materials capable of elastic expansion and contraction, the rubber materials and the accommodating space can be well adapted to buffering and releasing of external impact (such as stress or vibration), and the inner sealing element 51 and the outer sealing element 52 realize an integrally long external impact buffering path through the protruding column 513, so that the external impact can be effectively buffered and released, and the stability and durability of sealing are improved.
In one example, the outer diameter of the post 513 of the inner seal 51 is greater than the diameter of the fourth opening 521e of the second housing 521 of the outer seal 52. Thus, the diameters of the pillar 513 of the inner seal 51 and the fourth opening 521e of the second housing 521 of the outer seal 52 can be directly sealed by interference fit. Particularly, when both the inner seal member 51 and the outer seal member 52 are made of an elastically stretchable rubber material, the sealing performance is further improved.
As shown in fig. 4 and 5, in an example, the second flange 522 of the outer seal 52 is provided with a plurality of through holes 522a penetrating in the axial direction D, and a shortest radial distance of a peripheral edge of each through hole 522a from a center of the second housing 521 is greater than a largest radial distance of an outer edge of the first flange 512 from a center of the first housing 511, so that when the inner seal 51 and the outer seal 52 are assembled together, the plurality of through holes 522a of the outer seal 52 are located radially outside the first flange 512 of the inner seal 51; the laser sealing assembly 5 further includes a plurality of screws 53, each screw 53 being adapted to pass through a corresponding through hole 522a and to be screwed into a screw hole 411 on the outer wall 41 of the laser amplification chamber 4 of the solid-state laser 100, so as to sealingly fix the second flange 522 of the outer sealing member 52 to the outer wall 41 of the laser amplification chamber 4 and to seal between the first flange 512 of the inner sealing member 51 and the outer wall 41 of the laser amplification chamber 4 of the solid-state laser 100. By the arrangement of the screws 53, the removable mounting of the outer seal 52 is achieved. Of course, in an alternative embodiment, the second flange 522 of the outer seal 52 is non-detachably mounted to the outer wall 41 of the laser amplification cavity 4 by gluing.
Referring to fig. 2 and 6, the sealing assembly 5 for the laser further includes a locking member 54, and the locking member 54 is used for locking the first stud 513 and the seed source optical fiber jumper 2 from the outside when the inner seal 51 and the outer seal 52 are assembled and the seed source optical fiber jumper 2 and the seed source optical fiber output port 3 connected together pass through the through hole 513a of the stud 513 of the inner seal 51 and the first cavity 511a of the first housing 511 of the inner seal 51, so that a seal is formed between the first stud 513 and the seed source output optical fiber jumper 2 in the radial direction and the circumferential direction.
As shown in fig. 6, in one example, the locking member 54 includes a clamping portion 541, two protrusions 542, and a screw 543; the sandwiching portion 541 for circumferentially sandwiching the pillar 513 of the inner seal 51 from the outside; two protruding portions 542 protrude radially outward from both ends of the sandwiching portion 541, one of the two protruding portions 542 is provided with a screw hole (not shown), and the other of the two protruding portions 542 is provided with a via hole (not shown); the screw 543 is used to thread through the through hole and with the threaded hole to connect the two projections 542 together and to press the clamping portion 541 against the post 513 of the inner seal 51 to deform the post 513 of the inner seal 51, so that a seal is formed between the first post 513 and the seed source output optical fiber jumper 2 in radial and circumferential directions. The force for pressing the stud 513 of the inner seal 51 can be adjusted by the screw 543, so that the sealing property formed between the first stud 513 and the seed source output optical fiber jumper 2 can be enhanced. In particular, when the inner seal member 51 is made of an elastically stretchable rubber material, the sealing performance is further improved.
As shown in fig. 6, the sandwiching portion 541 of the locking member 54 is provided with a plurality of slots 541a, the slots 541a being circumferentially spaced from each other; each slit 541a extends in the axial direction D, is closed at both ends in the axial direction D, and radially penetrates through the sandwiching portion 541. The provision of the slot 541a facilitates more convenient and more compliant wrapping of the pinching portion 541 over the post 513 of the inner seal 51. In addition, the slits 541a provide a space for buffering and releasing an external impact, and especially, when a plurality of slits 541a are provided, the buffering and releasing of the external impact is more remarkable.
Note that in the present disclosure, the solid state laser 100 may be, but is not limited to, a picosecond laser. Likewise, the laser sealing assembly 5 is not limited to use in the solid state laser 100, and may be used in any suitable laser.
The above detailed description is used to describe a number of exemplary embodiments, but is not intended to limit the combinations explicitly disclosed herein. Thus, unless otherwise specified, various features disclosed herein can be combined together to form a number of additional combinations that are not shown for the sake of brevity.
