Description

Laser beam divergent angle test method
The present invention relates to a kind of method of testing laser beam divergence angle.
The size of the beam quality of laser, power directly influences the beam quality decisive role sometimes of the application, particularly laser of laser instrument.The evaluation laser beam quality index of system the most is a beam parameter product, i.e. the product of the beam diameter of laser and its far-field divergence angle.Wherein, the beam divergence angle of laser is a kind of important indicator of estimating laser instrument, decision laser application field.For example, beam divergence angle is big and itself exist the semiconductor laser of astigmatism generally only to be used for optical read/write head, optical communication etc.; And little solid, the gas laser of beam divergence angle then is widely used in scientific experiment, optical interference detection, free space optical communication, laser ranging, laser material processing and laser surgey.Therefore, measuring laser beam far-field divergence angle range of application is bigger.
The method of measuring laser beam far-field divergence angle mainly comprises the photodiode detector mensuration at present:
Place one dimension at the primary importance place of laser beam and move adjusting bracket, place photodiode detector on the adjusting bracket, detector is connected to the light intensity display; Detector is moved along a certain direction (for example x direction of principal axis), and the light intensity value when measuring diverse location in moving process (relative value) is noted the position coordinates of this point, simultaneously till not having response to detector; Obtain the curve of light distribution of laser beam thus, and then obtain the diameter d of laser beam spot in this direction 1Detector is placed the second place place of laser beam, in like manner measure diameter d at this position laser facula 2And according to formula θ = arctg d 2 - d 1 l Obtain the far-field divergence angle θ (wherein, l is the spacing between the primary importance and the second place) of light beam.
There is following defective in said method: 1, can't measure the too little laser beam of bore.Because the laser beam bore is too little, detector along the number of times of a certain direction (for example x direction of principal axis) traverse measurement laser facula just seldom causes and can't use said method to measure.2, measuring method is loaded down with trivial details.Because this method at every turn can only measuring laser beam in the angle of divergence of a certain direction.If want the angle of divergence of measuring laser beam, then must be again repeat above-mentioned measurement, computation process along the other direction of laser beam at other direction (for example y direction of principal axis).And this method is very strict to the movement requirement of direction of measurement, if the angle of divergence direction of the motion track of detector in measuring process and the laser beam of surveying is not at same straight line, can cause measurement result to exist than mistake, especially, all the more so for having rotational symmetric laser beam.
The objective of the invention is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and a kind of method of quick, the easy measuring laser beam angle of divergence is provided.
Purpose of the present invention can realize by following technical measures:
---form measurement mechanism with tested laser instrument, diaphragm, standard lens, CCD camera and computing machine;
---the light beam that makes laser instrument converges on the back focal plane of standard lens through passing through standard lens behind the diaphragm again;
---adjust the CCD camera, the photosensitive target surface of ccd detector is overlapped with the back focal plane of standard lens;
---the output of CCD camera is connected to computing machine;
---the theoretical big or small δ of the focal beam spot of light beam on the standard lens focal plane by the COMPUTER CALCULATION laser instrument;
---receive the signal of the light beam of laser instrument at the focal beam spot of the back focal plane place of standard lens formation by the CCD camera;
---by the hot spot signal of Computer Processing CCD camera output, obtain the big or small φ of this focal beam spot;
---go out far-field divergence angle 2 θ of the laser beam that laser instrument sends by COMPUTER CALCULATION.
The present invention has following advantage with respect to prior art: because method provided by the invention is only carried out one-shot measurement to hot spot, therefore no matter its spot size, do not influence measurement result, so can measure the beam divergence angle of large and small bore simultaneously, relative prior art especially is fit to measure the laser beam of high-quality small-bore, small divergence angle.Simultaneously, owing to only need at place's station acquisition hot spot, even therefore the measured laser light beam is non-radial symmetry light beam, its measurement result is correct too, so this method especially is fit to measure the optical parameter of non-radial symmetry laser beam.And this method only needs the hot spot at place's station acquisition measured laser light beam, by calculating the test result that can obtain laser beam divergence, does not need repeatedly mobile sniffer to take multiple measurements, and is simple, convenient.Because the laser beam hot spot signal that the CCD camera receives is handled by computing machine, therefore can select the coordinate axis of hot spot to finish calculating arbitrarily, so easily the while Laser Measurement at the beam divergence angle of each different directions.
