Technical Field
The utility model belongs to the technical field of the laser technology and specifically relates to a semiconductor laser, semiconductor laser module and laser equipment.
Background
Generally, the spatial intensity distribution of a laser beam emitted by coupling an optical fiber laser and a semiconductor laser to an optical fiber is gaussian distribution, namely a gaussian beam, and the laser intensity is expected to be a linear spot uniformly distributed in the application of many laser technologies, such as the application fields of laser cleaning, laser inspection, laser ablation, laser 3D scanning, laser cladding, laser heating, laser ablation, intelligent detection, cosmetic skin treatment, characterization processing, color ablation/paint removal, coating removal and the like.
On the other hand, the current traditional process is too complex in working procedure, high in cost and low in cost performance.
One of the conventional methods is to use chip linear array or laser bar, the fast axis direction must be aligned or focused to narrow square by aspheric surface or binary or its diffraction optics (green lines), and the slow axis direction is extended to long strip direction by aspheric surface or binary or diffraction optics. Binary optics is adopted, aspheric surface or diffraction optics is high in cost, and due to the fact that Gaussian distribution of a semiconductor chip is serious, secondary homogenization design cannot be carried out in a mode of light field superposition in some cases, the desired effect cannot be achieved in many cases, and the method is rarely used at present.
In another conventional method, for example, a semiconductor laser of several hundred watts is coupled to an optical fiber, multiple LD chips are used for collimation in the fast and slow directions, then multiple reflectors are used for superposition of light fields, and then a condenser is coupled to the output of the optical fiber, the output light fields are still gaussian distributed, in application, secondary optics (aspheric or binary optics and diffraction optics) are used for gaussian homogenization to make required uniform lines, and the method has the advantages of complex process, low efficiency and high cost.
In another conventional method, a few hundred watts of fiber laser is adopted, but output beams of the fiber laser are also in gaussian or multimode distribution, which cannot be directly applied to some fields with high requirements on the beams, so that the beams need to be homogenized. Such a method is as expensive as the conventional methods described above and the coupling of semiconductor lasers to optical fibers.
