本発明は連続励起Qスイッチ発振固体レーザに関するも
のである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a continuously pumped Q-switched oscillation solid-state laser.
連続励起Qスイッチ発振固体レーデは、出力反射鏡と全
反射鏡の間に固体レーザ材料に直列にQスイッチ素子を
設けたレーデ発振装置であって。A continuous pump Q-switched oscillation solid-state radar is a radar oscillation device in which a Q-switched element is provided in series with a solid-state laser material between an output reflecting mirror and a total reflecting mirror.
Qスイッチ・ぐルスの尖頭値が高く、またレーデのオン
・オフ制御を高速で行えることから、レーザトリマ等の
精密加工分野へ広く実用化されている。Because the peak value of the Q-switch/Grus is high and the radar can be controlled on and off at high speed, it is widely used in precision processing fields such as laser trimmers.
上述した従来の連続励起Qスイッチレーザにおいては、

加工に必要なレーザ出力が得られず、加工不良が生じて
はじめてQスイッチ動作不良であることが判明するとい
う状態であった。In the conventional continuously pumped Q-switched laser described above,
Even if one or both of the Q-switch element and the Q-switch driver that drives it become malfunctioning, and the output of the Q-switch/Gurus decreases, there is no way to detect this, so the Q-switch is used with the malfunction. was. Therefore, the laser output necessary for processing could not be obtained, and it was not until a processing defect occurred that it was revealed that the Q switch was malfunctioning.
したがって本発明はQスイッチの動作の不良を検出でき
る連続励起Qスイッチ発振固体レーデ装置を提供しよう
とするものである。Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a continuous excitation Q-switch oscillation solid-state radar device that can detect malfunctions of Q-switches.

ーデ発振を停止させるようにしたものである。The present invention detects the weak laser power (referred to as leakage light) that occurs when the ability to suppress radar oscillation when the Q switch is OFF is reduced due to a defect in the Q switch element or Q switch driver, and issues an alarm for Q switch malfunction. This is designed to stop Rade oscillation.

を検出するディテクタと。That is, the continuous excitation Q switch oscillation solid-state continuous excitation Q of the present invention
In the switched oscillation radar device, a detector is disposed coaxially outside the total reflection mirror and detects leaked radar light passing through the total reflection mirror.

と該レーデ装置の発振を停止させると共に警報を発する
手段とから成るQスイッチ動作不良検出機構を付加して
成ることを特徴とするものである。The output signal of this detector becomes louder than a predetermined value.
The present invention is characterized by the addition of a Q-switch malfunction detection mechanism consisting of means for stopping oscillation of the radar device and issuing an alarm.
以下余白 〔実施例〕 次に本発明について図面を参照して説明する。Margin below 〔Example〕 Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.
第1図は本発明の一実施例の概略図であり、第2図は本
発明の装置の動作タイミングを示す図である。FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the operation timing of the apparatus of the present invention.

器中におかれ、レーデ出力を・ぞルス発振化している。The solid-state laser material 12 excited by the excitation ramp '25 is
It is placed in a laser resonator composed of a total reflection mirror 11 and an output reflection mirror 14. A Q-switch element 13 is also placed in the resonator to make the radar output oscillate.
全反射鏡11の後方には光学アッテネータ26を置き、

。An optical attenuator 26 is placed behind the total reflection mirror 11,
When there is leakage from the total reflection mirror 11, it is attenuated and made incident on the detector 21. The output signal of the detector 21 is amplified by the amplifier f22 and input to the dart circuit 24.
一方タイミング回路18にはQスイッチドライバエ5か
らのパルス繰シ返し信号aが入力され。On the other hand, the pulse repetition signal a from the Q switch driver 5 is input to the timing circuit 18.

The sensor detection prohibition signal is input to the dart circuit 24 and the comparator 20, and is controlled so as not to detect a Q switch malfunction during Q switch pulse oscillation.
コンパレータ20はレベル調整i 23 fセットされ
たレベル8以上の信号が入力した時にのみアラーム回路
19に信号dを出力する。アラーム回路19はコンパレ

させる。The comparator 20 outputs the signal d to the alarm circuit 19 only when a signal of level 8 or higher, which is set in the level adjustment i 23 f, is input. The alarm circuit 19 holds the signal d from the comparator circuit 20, and uses the output signal e to sound the alarm buzzer 17 and stop the excitation lamp power supply 16.
第2図の横軸は時間を、縦軸は信号強度を相対的に表わ

チ繰り返し信号aはパルス幅数μs2周期数百μS〜数
m3で使用するのが適当である。In FIG. 2, the horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents relative signal strength. The Q-switch repetition signal a is normally at a high level, and becomes low level only during the pulse generation time in the Q-switch to generate a pulse. It is appropriate to use this Q-switch repetition signal a with a pulse width of several μs and a period of several hundred μS to several m3.
検出禁止信号すはコンパレータ20のコンパレート動作

ン・やレータ20を禁止する。したがってコンパレータ
レベル202よりもレベルの高いQスイッチ・ぐルスで
もコンパレータ回路20は検出を行わない。Qスイッチ
発振が終シ。The detection prohibition signal is a signal that controls whether the comparator 20 performs the comparison operation or not. When the pulse C outputs, it becomes a low level and inhibits the converter 20. Therefore, even if the Q-switch signal has a higher level than the comparator level 202, the comparator circuit 20 does not perform detection. Q switch oscillation has ended.
反転分布のエネルギーがレーデ共振器の損失を越えもれ
光が発生するまでには数十μ秒の時間おくれがあるので
、この時間内にコンノPレータヲ検出可能状態にする。Since there is a time lag of several tens of microseconds before the energy of the population inversion exceeds the loss of the Rade resonator and leakage light is generated, the controller is brought into a detectable state within this time.
コンパレータ20は、検出禁止信号すがハイレベルとな

1があるとこれを検出し、出力dをハイレベルにする。The comparator 20 stops detecting the leakage light 20 whose output is higher than the detection rate level 2o2 from the start time 203 when the detection prohibition signal becomes high level.
If there is a 1, it is detected and the output d is set to high level.
アラーム出力eはコンパレート回路の出力dをホールド
し出力する。The alarm output e holds and outputs the output d of the comparator circuit.
以上説明したように本発明は、Qスイッチパルスの検出

た場合、Qスイッチ動作不良による加工不良を未然にふ
せぐことかできる効果がある。As described above, the present invention can issue an alarm by detecting only the leakage light caused by a Q-switch malfunction when the Q-switch is OFF, without detecting the Q-switch pulse. Therefore, when this is applied to a laser device for machining, it is effective in preventing machining defects due to malfunction of the Q switch.
