Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the utility model is described in further detail.
The utility model provides a kind of laser triggering system based on Optical Fiber Transmission, and as Fig. 1, described laser triggering system comprises laser, coupler, optical fiber and discharging gap; The laser that described laser sends enters coupler, through coupler coupling laser by Optical Fiber Transmission to discharging gap.
The laser that described laser sends and through coupler coupling laser be nanosecond laser.
Described discharging gap comprises high-field electrode and low-field electrode, and the material that described high-field electrode and low-field electrode adopt is copper.
Described low-field electrode is provided with through hole, and described through hole is circular hole, and the diameter of described circular hole is 3 ~ 10mm.
The nanosecond laser that described laser sends enters coupler and is coupled, through the nanosecond laser of overcoupling by Optical Fiber Transmission to discharging gap, lens are provided with between described optical fiber and low-field electrode, through the nanosecond laser of lens by circular hole, realize nanosecond laser straight and connect triggering discharges gap discharge or nanosecond Laser Focusing to the surperficial triggering discharges gap discharge of high-field electrode.
Distance between described high-field electrode and low-field electrode is 10 ~ 30mm.
Described distance between high-field electrode and low-field electrode is 15 ~ 25mm.
Described laser is gas laser, and described gas laser is lamp pump pulse laser.
Described coupler is directional coupler.
Described optical fiber is grade silica fiber.
Described discharging gap is air gap.
When the nano second laser pulse that laser produces focuses in discharging gap, if nanosecond laser energy is enough large, focus and neighbouring air thereof will discharge, and developing rapidly under electric field action becomes sparkover passage, makes discharging gap conducting.The impact transmitted in atmosphere by atmospheric environment due to nanosecond laser is comparatively large, and after the long range propagation of more than tens meters of even hundreds of rice is carried out in very difficult guarantee, nanosecond laser directly focuses on required position again and makes air ionization.Simultaneously; string is mended device spark gap and is arranged on on the series compensation platform of circuit same potential; distance ground is generally more than 5m; and can ensure that the string that laser stabilization runs mends more than the hundreds of rice of Control protection cell general distance series compensation platform, laser is difficult to directly be transferred in spark gap by air to realize the triggering in reliable gap.
The nanosecond laser that laser produces enters coupler, output in coupler in optical fiber, nanosecond laser is by the air gap of Optical Fiber Transmission to applying certain voltage, along the through hole that low-field electrode is axially reserved after scioptics, focusing between electrode axially a certain position causes air ionization to form plasma, electric field between distortion electrode thus cause gap triggering and conducting.The nanosecond laser straight that such laser sends connected Optical Fiber Transmission to air gap, avoided the impact of the barrier that the atmospheric environment and light path directly transmitting in atmosphere and be subject to may exist, thus improve the reliability of gap triggering discharges.Such nanosecond laser can along arbitrarily bending Optical Fiber Transmission, avoid nanosecond laser straight and connect the problem that transmission range in atmosphere longer and the laser output of laser and required Laser Focusing point do not need when same plane Multiple through then out lens to roll over, reflect, improve the range of application in laser triggering gap.

As previously described, the laser pulse of enough energy is by Optical Fiber Transmission in air gap, and scioptics to focus between electrode certain a bit causes gas ionization to form plasma, electric field between distortion electrode thus cause gap triggering and conducting.Except the air gap opened wide, also can be applicable to fill in the air gap of gas with various, as gas or compressed air etc. such as SF6.
2) Laser Focusing discharges to electrode surface triggered gap
By the Laser Focusing of Optical Fiber Transmission in surface of metal electrode, the metal of its focal spot produces plasma, the electric field between this plasma abnormalization two electrode, thus causes gap discharge.
