Description

吉赫茲脈衝串列飛秒雷射源Gigahertz pulse train femtosecond laser source

本發明係有關於一種吉赫茲脈衝串列飛秒雷射源,尤其是利用包含第一聲光調制器、光纖耦合分光器、增益光纖、波長分波多工器、光隔離器、被動光纖、泵浦二極體雷射、第二聲光調制器的吉赫茲串列產生模組,搭配飛秒脈衝種子光源、飛秒雷射脈衝延展器、飛秒雷射放大器、飛秒雷射壓縮器,用以接收來自飛秒雷射脈衝延展器的延展脈衝光,並將延展脈衝光轉換成低重複率脈衝光而輸出至飛秒雷射放大器,進而實現可靠而有效的解決方案,能同時提高串列間頻率及高能量飛秒雷射源,藉以滿足實際應用領域中的需求。The invention relates to a gigahertz pulse train femtosecond laser source, in particular, it utilizes a first acousto-optic modulator, a fiber-coupled optical splitter, a gain fiber, a wavelength division multiplexer, an optical isolator, a passive fiber, a pump Pu diode laser, gigahertz series generation module of the second acousto-optic modulator, with femtosecond pulse seed light source, femtosecond laser pulse stretcher, femtosecond laser amplifier, femtosecond laser compressor, It is used to receive the stretched pulse light from the femtosecond laser pulse stretcher, convert the stretched pulse light into low repetition rate pulse light and output it to the femtosecond laser amplifier, so as to realize a reliable and effective solution, which can simultaneously improve the serial Inter-column frequency and high-energy femtosecond laser sources to meet the needs of practical applications.

飛秒雷射源對於工業上微細加工(細小到微米等級)有極高的應用價值,其主要原因在於飛秒雷射源可以達到「冷」加工效果,且幾乎沒有熱效應,而一般較長脈衝雷射會有熱效應,導致加工效果不佳。Femtosecond laser sources have extremely high application value for industrial micromachining (down to the micron level). The main reason is that femtosecond laser sources can achieve "cold" processing effects, and there is almost no thermal effect. Lasers have thermal effects, resulting in poor processing results.

請參考第一圖,飛秒雷射源脈的示意圖。一般來說,飛秒雷射源脈衝的脈衝長度本身為100-1000飛秒。飛秒雷射源脈衝具有兩種重複性的週期,其中脈衝與脈衝之間的脈衝間隔Tpulse,通常為10-50奈秒。Please refer to the first picture, the schematic diagram of the femtosecond laser source pulse. In general, the pulse length of the femtosecond laser source pulse itself is 100-1000 femtoseconds. Femtosecond laser source pulses have two repetitive periods, wherein the pulse interval Tpulse between pulses is usually 10-50 nanoseconds.

此外,對於由多個脈衝組成的脈衝串列(burst),脈衝串列與脈衝串列之間的脈衝串列間隔Tburst,通常為1微秒至1000微秒(us),脈衝串列間隔Tburst的倒數是定義為脈衝串列間頻率(inter-burst frequency),一般飛秒雷射種子源的脈衝串列間頻率為20-100MHz。In addition, for a burst consisting of multiple pulses, the burst interval Tburst between bursts is usually 1 microsecond to 1000 microseconds (us), and the burst interval Tburst The reciprocal of is defined as the inter-burst frequency (inter-burst frequency). Generally, the inter-burst frequency of the femtosecond laser seed source is 20-100MHz.

參考第二圖,習知技術的飛秒雷射源的示意圖,習用的飛秒雷射源一般來說是由五部分組成,包含飛秒脈衝種子光源10、飛秒雷射脈衝延展器20、脈衝選擇器30、飛秒雷射放大器40、飛秒雷射壓縮器50。Referring to the second figure, a schematic diagram of a conventional femtosecond laser source, a conventional femtosecond laser source is generally composed of five parts, including a femtosecond pulse seed light source 10, a femtosecond laser pulse stretcher 20, A pulse selector 30 , a femtosecond laser amplifier 40 , and a femtosecond laser compressor 50 .

具體而言,飛秒脈衝種子光源10產生低能量之原始脈衝光L10,其中原始脈衝光L10的脈衝重複率為20-100MHz,原始脈衝光L10的脈衝長度約為100-1000飛秒,之後,經過飛秒雷射脈衝延展器20延展為100-1000皮秒的延展脈衝光L20,再經由脈衝選擇器30的選擇處理而產生重複率降低為1-1000kHz的低重複率脈衝光L30,經過飛秒雷射放大器40的放大處理而產生高能量脈衝光L40,最後,由飛秒雷射壓縮器50進行適當飛秒壓縮處理而產生所需的飛秒脈衝光L50。Specifically, the femtosecond pulsed seed light source 10 produces low-energy original pulsed light L10, wherein the pulse repetition rate of the original pulsed light L10 is 20-100 MHz, and the pulse length of the original pulsed light L10 is about 100-1000 femtoseconds. After that, The femtosecond laser pulse stretcher 20 extends the extended pulse light L20 of 100-1000 picoseconds, and then selects the pulse selector 30 to generate a low repetition rate pulse light L30 with a repetition rate reduced to 1-1000 kHz. The high-energy pulsed light L40 is generated by the amplification process of the second laser amplifier 40 , and finally, the required femtosecond pulsed light L50 is generated by performing appropriate femtosecond compression processing by the femtosecond laser compressor 50 .

上述技術一般稱為啁啾調頻脈衝放大(Chirped pulse amplification,CPA),是習知領域中相當常見的飛秒雷射技術。The above technique is generally called chirped pulse amplification (CPA), which is a fairly common femtosecond laser technique in the prior art.

已知,將串列間頻率由20-100MHz提升至1-10GHz的範圍內能更有效地應用於微細加工,而所謂更有效是指能增加每單位時間每發脈衝的材料移除量,同時還能保持冷加工的特性。因此,要如何做出1-10吉赫茲(GHz)串列的高能量飛秒雷射源,即是飛秒雷射源及工業微小加工這兩個技術領域重要的課題。It is known that increasing the inter-tandem frequency from 20-100MHz to 1-10GHz can be more effectively applied to microfabrication, and the so-called more effective means that the material removal amount per pulse per unit time can be increased, and at the same time It can also maintain the characteristics of cold working. Therefore, how to make a 1-10 gigahertz (GHz) tandem high-energy femtosecond laser source is an important subject in the two technical fields of femtosecond laser source and industrial microprocessing.

然而在習知技術中,一是直接由具吉赫茲脈衝重複率之飛秒雷射種子源進行脈衝選擇及放大,但此法需多級放大器並脈衝串列間隔由種子源決定,並不易再作工程上的調整。另法是由一20-100MHz之飛秒雷射種子源以交錯器(Interleaver)方式產生脈衝串列,但此法也需多級交錯器及放大器,系統較為複雜。換言之,目前缺乏可靠而有效的解決方案以滿足實際應用領域中同時提高串列間頻率及高能量飛秒雷射源的需求。因此,很需要一種創新的吉赫茲脈衝串列飛秒雷射源,藉以解決上述習知技術的問題。However, in the conventional technology, one is to directly select and amplify the pulses by a femtosecond laser seed source with a gigahertz pulse repetition rate, but this method requires multi-stage amplifiers and the pulse train interval is determined by the seed source, which is not easy to reproduce. Make engineering adjustments. Another method is to use a 20-100MHz femtosecond laser seed source to generate pulse trains in the form of an interleaver, but this method also requires multi-stage interleavers and amplifiers, and the system is more complicated. In other words, there is currently a lack of reliable and effective solutions to meet the needs of simultaneously increasing the inter-tandem frequency and high-energy femtosecond laser sources in practical applications. Therefore, there is a great need for an innovative gigahertz pulse train femtosecond laser source to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art.

此外,吉赫茲串列產生模組係用以接收延展脈衝光後,經降低重複率處理而產生低重複率脈衝光,而飛秒雷射放大器係用以接收低重複率脈衝光,並經放大處理後產生高能量脈衝光。再者,飛秒雷射壓縮器係用以接收高能量脈衝光,並經壓縮處理而產生、輸出飛秒脈衝光,當作所需的吉赫茲脈衝串列飛秒脈衝光。In addition, the gigahertz tandem generation module is used to receive the extended pulse light, and then reduce the repetition rate to generate low repetition rate pulse light. The femtosecond laser amplifier is used to receive the low repetition rate pulse light and amplify it. High-energy pulsed light is generated after processing. Furthermore, the femtosecond laser compressor is used to receive high-energy pulsed light, and generate and output femtosecond pulsed light through compression processing, which is regarded as the required gigahertz pulse train femtosecond pulsed light.

因此,本發明利用利用包含第一聲光調制器、光纖耦合分光器、增益光纖、波長分波多工器、光隔離器、被動光纖、泵浦二極體雷射、第二聲光調制器的吉赫茲串列產生模組,搭配飛秒脈衝種子光源、飛秒雷射脈衝延展器、飛秒雷射放大器、飛秒雷射壓縮器,用以接收來自飛秒雷射脈衝延展器的延展脈衝光,並將延展脈衝光轉換成低重複率脈衝光而輸出至飛秒雷射放大器,進而實現可靠而有效的解決方案,能同時提高串列間頻率及高能量飛秒雷射源,藉以滿足實際應用領域中的需求。Therefore, the present invention utilizes and utilizes the first acousto-optic modulator, fiber-coupled optical splitter, gain fiber, wavelength division multiplexer, optical isolator, passive optical fiber, pumping diode laser, the second acousto-optic modulator The gigahertz serial generation module is equipped with a femtosecond pulse seed source, a femtosecond laser pulse stretcher, a femtosecond laser amplifier, and a femtosecond laser compressor to receive the stretched pulse from the femtosecond laser pulse stretcher Light, and convert the extended pulse light into low repetition rate pulse light and output to the femtosecond laser amplifier, so as to realize a reliable and effective solution, which can simultaneously increase the inter-tandem frequency and high-energy femtosecond laser source, so as to meet requirements in practical applications.

The femtosecond laser compressor 50 belongs to the conventional technology, that is, the present invention replaces the traditional pulse picker 30 with the gigahertz serial generation module 31 .

由於飛秒脈衝種子光源10、飛秒雷射脈衝延展器20、飛秒雷射放大器40、飛秒雷射壓縮器50的技術內容已經詳細說明,所以下文中不再贅述,而只專注於說明吉赫茲串列產生模組31的技術及特點。Since the technical content of the femtosecond pulse seed light source 10, the femtosecond laser pulse stretcher 20, the femtosecond laser amplifier 40, and the femtosecond laser compressor 50 have been described in detail, they will not be described in detail below, but only focus on the description The technology and characteristics of the gigahertz serial generation module 31.

整體而言,本發明的特點在於利用吉赫茲串列產生模組31而由飛秒脈衝種子光源產生吉赫茲脈衝串列。其中飛秒脈衝種子光源10產生具有脈衝重複率為20-100MHz且脈衝長度約為100-1000飛秒的原始脈衝光SA,飛秒雷射脈衝延展器20將原始脈衝光SA延展而產生延展脈衝光S1後,再經過本發明吉赫茲串列產生模組31的處理而產生低重複率脈衝光S4,進一步經後續的飛秒雷射放大器40及飛秒雷射壓縮器50的處理後,產生具吉赫茲串列飛秒脈衝的飛秒脈衝光SC,其中飛秒雷射放大器40及飛秒雷射壓縮器50僅在於將吉赫茲串列脈衝由約為1-100nJ的低能量放大至約1-100uJ的工業用的高能量等級。In general, the feature of the present invention is that the gigahertz pulse train is generated by the femtosecond pulse seed light source by using the gigahertz train generating module 31 . Wherein the femtosecond pulse seed light source 10 produces the original pulsed light SA with a pulse repetition rate of 20-100 MHz and a pulse length of about 100-1000 femtoseconds, and the femtosecond laser pulse stretcher 20 extends the original pulsed light SA to generate a stretched pulse After the light S1 is processed by the gigahertz serial generation module 31 of the present invention, the low repetition rate pulsed light S4 is generated, and further processed by the subsequent femtosecond laser amplifier 40 and femtosecond laser compressor 50 to generate Femtosecond pulse light SC with gigahertz serial femtosecond pulses, wherein the femtosecond laser amplifier 40 and femtosecond laser compressor 50 only amplify the gigahertz serial pulse from a low energy of about 1-100nJ to about High energy grade for industrial use from 1-100uJ.

進一步參考`第四圖,本發明吉赫茲脈衝串列飛秒雷射源中吉赫茲串列產生模組的示意圖。如第四圖所示,本發明的吉赫茲串列產生模組(GHz-burst generator)31主要是包含第一聲光調制器(acousto-optic modulator,AOM) 32、光纖耦合分光器(Fiber coupler) 33、增益光纖(Gain fiber) 34、波長分波多工器(Wavelength Division Multiplexer,WDM) 35、光隔離器(Faraday isolator) 36、被動光纖(Passive fiber) 37、泵浦二極體雷射(Pumping diode laser) 38、第二聲光調制器39,用以接收來自飛秒雷射脈衝延展器20的延展脈衝光S1,並將延展脈衝光S1轉換成低重複率脈衝光S4而輸出至飛秒雷射放大器40。Further refer to the fourth figure, which is a schematic diagram of the gigahertz train generating module in the gigahertz pulse train femtosecond laser source of the present invention. As shown in the fourth figure, the GHz-burst generator 31 of the present invention mainly includes a first acousto-optic modulator (AOM) 32, a fiber coupling splitter (Fiber coupler) ) 33. Gain fiber (Gain fiber) 34. Wavelength Division Multiplexer (Wavelength Division Multiplexer, WDM) 35. Optical isolator (Faraday isolator) 36. Passive fiber (Passive fiber) 37.

更具體而言,第一聲光調制器32、光纖耦合分光器33、是經由光纖F而依序連接,且第一聲光調制器32、第二聲光調制器39是當作光開關,用以在時域上選出所需的脈衝,並由光纖耦合分光器33提供分光功能,尤其,第一聲光調制器32接收由前級輸入並具有固定脈衝重複複率的延展脈衝光S1,經調制後產產生第一調制脈衝光S2,光纖耦合分光器33接收第一調制脈衝光S2以及隔離脈衝光S36並經過內建的光纖迴路(fiber loop)後而產生、輸出分光脈衝光S3以及耦合脈衝光S33,第二聲光調制器39接收耦合脈衝光S33並經調制後產生低重複率脈衝光S4。More specifically, the first acousto-optic modulator 32 and the fiber-coupled optical splitter 33 are sequentially connected via the optical fiber F, and the first acousto-optic modulator 32 and the second acousto-optic modulator 39 are used as optical switches, It is used to select the required pulse in the time domain, and the fiber-coupled optical splitter 33 provides the optical splitting function, especially, the first acousto-optic modulator 32 receives the extended pulse light S1 input by the previous stage and has a fixed pulse repetition rate, After being modulated, the first modulated pulsed light S2 is produced, and the fiber-coupled optical splitter 33 receives the first modulated pulsed light S2 and the isolated pulsed light S36 and generates and outputs the split pulsed light S3 and Coupled pulsed light S33, the second acousto-optic modulator 39 receives the coupled pulsed light S33 and generates low repetition rate pulsed light S4 after modulation.

進一步,光纖耦合分光器33為光纖式50/50分光器,是習知技術中常見的元件,用以將第一調制脈衝光S2以及保偏脈衝光S37的任一輸入光分為分光脈衝光S3以及耦合脈衝光S33的兩道輸出光,其中分光比例可較佳的選為約50%:50%,不過也可依據實際需要而選為60/40,70/30, 80/20等。要注意的是,上述的分光比例對於本發明並不是關鍵參數,只是用以方便說明本發明特點的示範性實例而已。Further, the fiber-coupled optical splitter 33 is a fiber-optic 50/50 optical splitter, which is a common component in the prior art, and is used to divide any input light of the first modulated pulsed light S2 and the polarization-maintaining pulsed light S37 into split pulsed light For the two output lights of S3 and coupled pulsed light S33, the light splitting ratio can be preferably selected as about 50%:50%, but it can also be selected as 60/40, 70/30, 80/20 etc. according to actual needs. It should be noted that the above light splitting ratio is not a key parameter for the present invention, but is just an exemplary example for conveniently illustrating the features of the present invention.

此外,增益光纖34可為摻鐿單模偏振保持光纖(Ytterbium doped single mode polarization maintaining fiber),當作光放大之用,並連接至光纖耦合分光器33,用以接收光纖耦合分光器33輸出的耦合脈衝光S33,進而產生、輸出增益脈衝光S34。In addition, the gain fiber 34 can be Ytterbium doped single mode polarization maintaining fiber (Ytterbium doped single mode polarization maintaining fiber), used as optical amplification, and connected to the fiber-coupled optical splitter 33, in order to receive the output of the fiber-coupled optical splitter 33 The pulsed light S33 is coupled to generate and output the gain pulsed light S34.

再者,波長分波多工器35連接至增益光纖34以及泵浦二極體雷射38,用以接收增益光纖34輸出的增益脈衝光S34以及來自泵浦二極體雷射38的連續光S38,並經分波多工處理而產生、輸出分波脈衝光S35,其中波長分波多工器35在於提供增益光纖34之泵浦功能,而泵浦二極體雷射38為使用976nm波長之單模二極體雷射,可產生能量約300-600mW且波長為976nm的連續光S38,藉以提供能量給增益光纖34以進行光放大用。Furthermore, the wavelength division multiplexer 35 is connected to the gain fiber 34 and the pump diode laser 38, for receiving the gain pulsed light S34 output by the gain fiber 34 and the continuous light S38 from the pump diode laser 38 , and generate and output demultiplexed pulsed light S35 through wavelength division multiplexing processing, wherein the wavelength division multiplexer 35 is to provide the pumping function of the gain fiber 34, and the pumping diode laser 38 is a single-mode laser with a wavelength of 976nm The diode laser can generate continuous light S38 with an energy of about 300-600mW and a wavelength of 976nm, so as to provide energy to the gain fiber 34 for optical amplification.

另外,光隔離器36連接至波長分波多工器35,用以接收分波脈衝光S35,並經隔離處理後產生、輸出隔離脈衝光S36。光隔離器36可為光纖式保偏光隔離器,其作用為使分波脈衝光S35僅能由單一方向穿過,而另一方向會有極大的損耗,亦即由光隔離器36至被動光纖37的方向,其中被動光纖37可選用保偏光纖PM980,用以在1030nm波段提供保偏功能,並接收隔離脈衝光S36,並經保偏後而產生、輸出保偏脈衝光S37至光纖耦合分光器33。In addition, the optical isolator 36 is connected to the wavelength division multiplexer 35 for receiving the demultiplexed pulsed light S35, and generating and outputting the isolated pulsed light S36 after isolation processing. The optical isolator 36 can be a fiber-optic polarization-maintaining optical isolator, and its function is to allow the demultiplexed pulsed light S35 to pass through only one direction, while the other direction has a great loss, that is, from the optical isolator 36 to the passive optical fiber. The direction of 37, wherein the passive optical fiber 37 can choose the polarization maintaining fiber PM980, which is used to provide the polarization maintaining function in the 1030nm band, and receive the isolated pulse light S36, and generate and output the polarization maintaining pulse light S37 after polarization maintaining to the fiber coupling splitter Device 33.

特别一提的是,要注意第四圖中光的行進方向,同時參考第五圖以及第六圖的時域脈衝變化以作為對照,其中第六圖為第五圖中局部放大區域A的部分信號放大圖,藉以說明本發明中吉赫茲串列產生模組31的工作原理。In particular, pay attention to the traveling direction of the light in the fourth picture, and refer to the time-domain pulse changes in the fifth picture and the sixth picture as a comparison, where the sixth picture is the part of the partial enlarged area A in the fifth picture The enlarged signal diagram is used to illustrate the working principle of the gigahertz serial generation module 31 in the present invention.

首先,可同時參考第三圖,延展脈衝光S1是由吉赫茲串列產生模組31的輸入端打入,其中延展脈衝光S1是由飛秒脈衝種子光源10產生,並具有固定之脈衝重複頻率,且脈衝與脈衝之間的脈衝間隔Tpulse均為固定,而脈衝重複頻率fpulse是由公式fpulse= 1/Tpulse而計算出。First, you can refer to the third figure at the same time. The extended pulse light S1 is input from the input end of the gigahertz serial generation module 31. The extended pulse light S1 is generated by the femtosecond pulse seed light source 10 and has a fixed pulse repetition frequency. , and the pulse interval Tpulse between pulses is fixed, and the pulse repetition frequency fpulse is calculated by the formula fpulse= 1/Tpulse.

舉例而言,脈衝間隔Tpulse一般約為10-100ns範圍內,因此,脈衝重複頻率fpulse可被計算出為約10-100MHz。一般而言,此時脈衝之能量因僅由種子光源而來,通常不高,約在0.1-10nJ的範圍內,尚不足以進行任何材料加工的應用,所以仍需經過後續飛秒雷射放大器40的放大後,才足以有足夠強度以達到破壞材料之加工作用。For example, the pulse interval Tpulse is generally in the range of 10-100 ns, therefore, the pulse repetition frequency fpulse can be calculated as about 10-100 MHz. Generally speaking, the energy of the pulse at this time is only from the seed light source, which is usually not high, about in the range of 0.1-10nJ, which is not enough for any material processing application, so it still needs to go through the subsequent femtosecond laser amplifier After the magnification of 40, it has enough strength to achieve the processing effect of destroying materials.

經過吉赫茲串列產生模組31的第一聲光調制器32後輸出第一調制脈衝光S2,且由於第一聲光調制器32為光電開關,所以在第一控制訊號CT1為低電位狀態時,或是在一般認知為開關關閉的狀態)時,延展脈衝光S1是無法通過第一聲光調制器32,所以會產生約30-60dB的損耗。因此,在第一控制訊號CT1為低電位時,第一調制脈衝光S2並未出現,要等到在第一控制訊號CT1轉為高電位狀態時,延展脈衝光S1才可以通過第一聲光調制器32而輸出第一調制脈衝光S2。需注意的是,通過的第一調制脈衝光S2仍會有一定的損耗,通常為3-6dB不等。After passing through the first AOM 32 of the gigahertz serial generation module 31, the first modulated pulsed light S2 is output, and since the first AOM 32 is a photoelectric switch, the first control signal CT1 is in a low potential state , or when it is generally known as the switch-off state), the extended pulsed light S1 cannot pass through the first AOM 32, so a loss of about 30-60 dB will be generated. Therefore, when the first control signal CT1 is at a low potential, the first modulated pulsed light S2 does not appear, and the extended pulsed light S1 can pass through the first acousto-optic modulation until the first control signal CT1 turns to a high potential state. The device 32 outputs the first modulated pulsed light S2. It should be noted that the passed first modulated pulsed light S2 still has a certain loss, usually ranging from 3-6 dB.

此外,第一調制脈衝光S2定義出時間上的脈衝開始注入後級元件的零點。In addition, the first modulated pulsed light S2 defines the zero point at which the pulse starts to be injected into the subsequent element in time.

再次參考第四圖,在第一調制脈衝光S2抵達耦合脈衝光S33後,將被分為兩道光,分光比例由耦合脈衝光S33所決定。例如,可使用分光比例為50/50的耦合脈衝光S33,因此,一半的脈衝能量會被送往第二聲光調制器39,而另一半的脈衝能量會被送進光纖迴路內,亦即增益光纖34的位置,而被放大。Referring to the fourth figure again, after the first modulated pulsed light S2 reaches the coupled pulsed light S33, it will be divided into two beams, and the light splitting ratio is determined by the coupled pulsed light S33. For example, the coupled pulsed light S33 with a split ratio of 50/50 can be used. Therefore, half of the pulse energy will be sent to the second AOM 39, and the other half of the pulse energy will be sent into the optical fiber loop, that is, The position of the gain fiber 34 is amplified.

增益光纖34是藉由控制摻雜濃度、光纖長度,並搭配泵浦二極體雷射38的波長或是功率來調控放大所需要的增益,由於增益光纖34的技術是屬於習知領域,因而下文中不詳細描述。此外,隔離脈衝光S36主要是讓順向的脈衝光以遠低於逆向行進的光的損耗而通過,因而達到避免於此迴路中產生反向光的效應。The gain fiber 34 controls the gain required for amplification by controlling the doping concentration, the length of the fiber, and matching the wavelength or power of the pump diode laser 38. Since the technology of the gain fiber 34 belongs to the known field, therefore It will not be described in detail below. In addition, the isolated pulsed light S36 mainly allows the forward pulsed light to pass through with a loss much lower than that of the reversed light, thereby achieving the effect of avoiding the generation of reversed light in this loop.

再者,被動光纖37的長度可以被用來便利地調整此光纖迴路的總長度,也就是此脈衝通過此光纖迴路所需的時間t,其中時間t可以藉用公式t = L/vgroup來決定,而L為光纖之總長度,且vgroup為脈衝在此光纖裡的行進群速度。Furthermore, the length of the passive optical fiber 37 can be used to conveniently adjust the total length of the optical fiber loop, that is, the time t required for the pulse to pass through the optical fiber loop, wherein the time t can be determined by the formula t=L/vgroup , and L is the total length of the fiber, and vgroup is the traveling group velocity of the pulse in this fiber.

為了理解此光纖迴路長度的關鍵因素,請參考第五圖之分光脈衝光S3。此處由於飛秒雷射種子源本身的脈衝間隔Tpulse,與脈衝於此光纖迴路中行進的時間Tloop有所不同,因此會有時間差| Tpulse – Tloop |產生。要注意的是,此時間差是可以便利地藉由調整被動光纖37的長度而調整,而且此時間差即讓我們產生串列脈衝(burst),如第六圖所示。In order to understand the key factors of the fiber loop length, please refer to the split pulsed light S3 in Figure 5. Here, because the pulse interval Tpulse of the femtosecond laser seed source itself is different from the time Tloop of the pulse traveling in the optical fiber loop, there will be a time difference |Tpulse – Tloop|. It should be noted that this time difference can be adjusted conveniently by adjusting the length of the passive optical fiber 37, and this time difference allows us to generate a series of pulses (burst), as shown in the sixth figure.

在第六圖中,可發現此時間差即等於欲產生的脈衝串列之脈衝串列間隔Tburst,而且此時間差可為正也可為負,尤其兩者均為本實施例的範圍中。此外,第五圖以及第六圖所顯示的為此時間差為負的狀態,亦即,由光纖迴路產出的脈衝會於每次都稍微落後於飛秒脈衝種子光源10所送進光纖耦合分光器33的脈衝。In the sixth figure, it can be found that the time difference is equal to the pulse train interval Tburst of the pulse train to be generated, and the time difference can be positive or negative, especially both are within the scope of this embodiment. In addition, the state shown in the fifth figure and the sixth figure is that the time difference is negative, that is, the pulse generated by the optical fiber circuit will lag slightly behind the femtosecond pulse seed light source 10 to send into the optical fiber coupling splitter every time. 33 pulses.

進一步舉例而言,可以利用習知技術的光纖熔接機以控制被動光纖37之長度,再藉由光偵側器量測分光脈衝光S3而以示波器觀察,即可得知分光脈衝光S3中的脈衝串列間隔Tburst,再予以調整。As a further example, the length of the passive optical fiber 37 can be controlled by using an optical fiber fusion splicer in the prior art, and then the split pulsed light S3 can be measured by a photodetector and observed with an oscilloscope, so that the split pulsed light S3 can be known. The burst interval Tburst is adjusted again.

要注意的是,第五圖僅顯示最多三發之串列脈衝,但可以輕易地由第五圖類推出於時間軸更延後的軸線上,藉以產生四、五、六、、、等等,以此類推的脈衝串列。It should be noted that the fifth diagram only shows a series of pulses of up to three, but it can be easily deduced from the fifth diagram on a more delayed axis of the time axis to generate four, five, six,,,, etc. , and so on for the burst train.

此脈衝串列的上限Nmax為雷射種子源脈衝間隔Tpulse 所限制,並由公式Nmax=Tpulse/Tburst-1所決定,其中脈衝串列間隔Tburst越短,則脈衝串列的脈衝數上限則越高。舉例而言,飛秒雷射種子源脈衝重複率為20MHz,則脈衝間隔Tpulse為50ns。而脈衝串列間隔Tburst為1ns如吾人訂定脈衝串列最終輸出為1GHz(吉赫)。因此可計算出max=Tpulse/Tburst-1=50ns/1ns-1=49。The upper limit Nmax of this pulse train is limited by the pulse interval Tpulse of the laser seed source, and is determined by the formula Nmax=Tpulse/Tburst-1. The shorter the pulse train interval Tburst, the higher the upper limit of the pulse number of the pulse train. high. For example, if the pulse repetition rate of the femtosecond laser seed source is 20 MHz, the pulse interval Tpulse is 50 ns. And the pulse train interval Tburst is 1ns if we set the final output of the burst train as 1GHz (gigahertz). Therefore, max=Tpulse/Tburst-1=50ns/1ns-1=49 can be calculated.

接著,請參考第四圖及第五圖,此處脈衝原為分光脈衝光S3,是經過第二聲光調制器39後,藉由在第二控制訊號CT2為低電位狀態(或一般認知為開關關閉的狀態)時,此時脈衝並無法通過第二聲光調制器39,通常損耗為30-60dB。因此,在第二控制訊號CT2為低電位時,低重複率脈衝光S4並未出現。待第二控制訊號CT2轉為高電位狀態時,此時分光脈衝光S3可以通過第二聲光調制器39而輸出低重複率脈衝光S4。需注意的是,通過的脈衝仍會有一定的損耗,通常為3-6dB不等。藉由此控制,可以選出單一串列,具有吾人所需要的脈串列發數N,以送往下一級作脈衝能量放大。Next, please refer to the fourth and fifth figures, where the pulse is originally the split pulse light S3, after passing through the second acousto-optic modulator 39, the second control signal CT2 is in a low potential state (or generally recognized as When the switch is closed), the pulse cannot pass through the second AOM 39 at this time, and the loss is usually 30-60dB. Therefore, when the second control signal CT2 is at a low potential, the low repetition rate pulsed light S4 does not appear. When the second control signal CT2 turns to a high potential state, the split pulsed light S3 can pass through the second acousto-optic modulator 39 to output the low repetition rate pulsed light S4. It should be noted that the passing pulse still has a certain loss, usually ranging from 3-6dB. Through this control, a single train can be selected with the required number of pulse trains N to be sent to the next stage for pulse energy amplification.

此外,也可非常輕易地調整脈衝串列的發數,此發數的變數在雷射微細加工無疑是非常重要、可程式化的參數可供使用者因應不同的材料、加工速度、移除率優化等做調整。其調整方式即為調整第二聲光調制器39之第二控制訊號CT2,使其與其餘脈衝及第二控制訊號CT2同步,並且在時間上可調整。此為,可以藉由一般數位電路之習知技術即可以設計。In addition, it is also very easy to adjust the number of pulse trains. The variable number of pulses is undoubtedly very important in laser microfabrication. Programmable parameters are available for users to respond to different materials, processing speeds, and removal rates. Optimization and other adjustments. The adjustment method is to adjust the second control signal CT2 of the second acousto-optic modulator 39 so that it is synchronized with the other pulses and the second control signal CT2, and can be adjusted in time. This is, can be designed by conventional technology of general digital circuit.

另外,可利用第二聲光調制器39之第二控制訊號CT2以決定所需要最終脈衝重複率fpulse,此處之fpulse會低於初始之fpulse,而且此fpulse具有一上限,其中的上限是由所需的脈衝串列數N決定。例如,所需脈衝串列數N=3,如同第五圖所示,則可以推知, fpulse必須小於或等於fpulse/3,因光纖迴路需累積3次,才能產出串列數N=3的串列。最終,低重複率脈衝光S4將被送出,並可被放大以及進行最後之壓縮處理,再送出雷射本體外以供使用者使用。In addition, the second control signal CT2 of the second AOM 39 can be used to determine the required final pulse repetition rate fpulse, where the fpulse will be lower than the initial fpulse, and this fpulse has an upper limit, wherein the upper limit is determined by The number N of pulse trains required is determined. For example, if the required number of pulse trains is N=3, as shown in the fifth figure, it can be deduced that fpulse must be less than or equal to fpulse/3, because the optical fiber loop needs to be accumulated 3 times to produce a series number of N=3 Tandem. Finally, the low repetition rate pulsed light S4 will be sent out, and can be amplified and subjected to final compression processing, and then sent out of the laser body for use by users.

綜上所述,本發明的特點在於利用吉赫茲串列產生模組取代傳統的脈衝選擇器,並搭配飛秒脈衝種子光源、飛秒雷射脈衝延展器、飛秒雷射放大器、飛秒雷射壓縮器,用以接收來自飛秒雷射脈衝延展器的延展脈衝光,並將延展脈衝光轉換成低重複率脈衝光而輸出至飛秒雷射放大器,進而達到產生並輸出高品質吉赫茲脈衝串列飛秒的功效。In summary, the feature of the present invention is that the traditional pulse selector is replaced by a gigahertz serial generation module, and it is equipped with a femtosecond pulse seed light source, a femtosecond laser pulse stretcher, a femtosecond laser amplifier, and a femtosecond laser The laser compressor is used to receive the stretched pulse light from the femtosecond laser pulse stretcher, and convert the stretched pulse light into low repetition rate pulse light and output it to the femtosecond laser amplifier, so as to generate and output high-quality gigahertz The efficacy of pulse train femtoseconds.
