Abstract
A laser device includes a laser transmitting unit which emits laser radiation in a useful wavelength range and a receiving unit. It also has transmitting / receiving optical units for the laser radiation, an entry window 1, in the region of an entry pupil of the transmitting / receiving optical units with an approximately transparent substrate. The entry window has at least one first coating 3 on a first main surface 2a of the substrate 2 with at least one thin reflective metal layer 3a, at least one first dielectric layer 3b, and at least one second dielectric layer 3c. The thin metal layer 3a is arranged between the at least one first dielectric layer 3b and the at least one second dielectric layer 3c. The at least one first dielectric layer 3b and the at least one second dielectric layer 3c are designed so that they form an interference filter which, in connection with the at least one thin metal layer 3a, essentially only transmits the laser radiation in the useful wavelength range. The useful wavelength range may be 1064nm. The laser device may be a laser communication terminal in particular for a satellite or a laser distance meter.
Description
The invention relates to a laser device according to the preamble of Claim 1.
Laser devices known from practice are, for example, laser distance meters or laser communication terminals, in particular for satellites.
It is desirable to protect such laser devices from interfering electromagnetic radiation from the environment, wherein electromagnetic radiation in the useful wavelength range of the laser is to be able to pass unobstructed, however.
This requirement exists in particular in the case of the transmitter and receiver optical units and/or transmitter and receiver telescopes in the laser devices .
Above all in satellite-based laser communication terminals, a substantial radiometric insulation of the interior of the high-performance optical units and/or telescopes is desired, which effectively prevents both heating of the telescope in the case of direct solar irradiation in the orbit, and also cooling of the facilities in an orientation toward the universal background radiation of 3 K. Otherwise, in the event of temporary solar incident radiation, the high-performance optical units which are typically used are subject to substantial inhomogeneous thermal load profiles, which either substantially restrict the selection of the materials to be used for the telescope structure or complicate and make more costly the design of other types of countermeasures. The largest possible wavelength range is to be shielded. Known entry windows in the entry pupils of such optical units do have reflective dielectric coatings, which have a very high reflectivity in the case of undesired radiation and have the highest possible transmission at useful wavelengths. However, these generally have the disadvantage that they already become transparent again in the mid-infrared range, i.e., no longer offer reflection.
The present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a laser device of the type mentioned at the outset which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art, in particular, the transmitting and/or receiving optical units thereof are to offer a high transmission in the useful wavelength range of the laser radiation, on the one hand, and at the same time are to provide a radiation insulation over the complete remaining electromagnetic spectral range, in particular in the near-infrared, mid-infrared, and far-infrared range up into the radio frequency range, on the other hand.
This object is achieved according to the invention by a laser device having the features mentioned in Claim 1, at least comprising:
a laser transmitting unit, which is configured to emit laser radiation in a useful wavelength range,
- a receiver unit, a transmitting optical unit and/or a receiving optical unit for the laser radiation,
- an entry window, which is arranged in the region of an entry pupil of the transmitting optical unit and/or the receiving optical unit and which has an at least approximately transparent substrate, and
- at least one first coating arranged on a first main surface of the substrate having at least one thin reflective metal layer, at least one first dielectric layer, and at least one second dielectric layer, wherein the thin metal layer is arranged between the at least one first dielectric layer and the at least one second dielectric layer, and wherein the at least one first dielectric layer and the at least one second dielectric layer are designed such that they form an interference filter which, in connection with the at least one thin metal layer, essentially only transmits the laser radiation in the useful wavelength range.
A laser device is provided by the measures according to the invention, in which the transmitting optical unit and/or the receiving optical unit and/or the transmitter/receiver telescope is substantially radiometrically insulated in the interior, which effectively prevents both heating of the telescope in the event of direct solar irradiation, for example, in orbit, and also cooling in the event of an orientation of the telescope toward the universal background radiation of 3 K. Only the laser radiation in the useful wavelength range is transmitted. The optical and/or mechanical structure of the high-performance optical units typically used in laser devices, for example, a laser communication terminal or a laser distance meter, is therefore not subject, in the event of temporary solar incident radiation, to the otherwise existing substantially inhomogeneous thermal load profiles, which either substantially restrict the selection of the materials to be used for the telescope structure or complicate and make more costly the design of other types of countermeasures. The laser device can be embodied as a laser communication terminal, in particular for a satellite, or as a laser distance meter .
The at least one thin reflective metal layer of the at least one first coating would radiometrically already reflect all electromagnetic radiation in principle. This would also be the case for gigahertz radiation for radiofrequency communication. Because the thin reflective metal layer is more or less stacked between dielectric coatings, however, a very high reflectivity can be achieved in the undesired wavelength range, i.e., the wavelength range to be insulated - with simultaneous good transmission in the useful wavelength range. Because the reflective metal layer is accordingly embodied thin and it is enclosed with a specific design made of dielectric layers, a type of etalon effect is achieved and/or an interference filter is provided. Solely the laser radiation in the useful wavelength range fulfils the resonance condition within a narrow wavelength range, and therefore a minimal absorption and a minimal reflection of the metal layer are achieved for the useful wavelength. An insulating effect of the metal layer is maintained for essentially all other wavelengths .
The substrate can be at least approximately or completely transparent or can have a transmission of at least 80% in the case of electromagnetic radiation in an optical wavelength range from approximately 250 nm to approximately 2.5 pm.
The substrate can include sapphire, yttrium-aluminium garnet (YAG), or crystalline silicon dioxide (aSiCp) .

The dielectric partial layers can in particular alternately include niobium oxide and silicon dioxide or in particular alternately tantalum oxide and silicon dioxide .
The useful wavelength of the laser radiation can be approximately 1064 nm.
The at least one first coating on the first main surface of the substrate can face toward an interior of the laser device. The entry window can be designed as a whole as a plane-parallel plate.
A second dielectric coating, which is in particular highly reflective in the visual wavelength range and highly transmissive at the useful wavelength range, can be provided on a second main surface of the substrate opposite to the first main surface of the substrate.
