通信接口110可以为常规通信串口电路,例如以太接口电路、RS232通信串口电路或RS485通信串口电路等,在本实施例中,示例性地,通信接口110的详细型号为RS232。通信接口110配置为建立控制器120与外部设备的通信连接,当然,控制器120与外部设备的通信连接可以满足相应的通信协议,例如,根据通信接口110类型的不同,其需要满足以太网协议、RS232通信协议、RS485通信协议和/或设备之间的握手协议等。在本实施例中的通信接口110需要满足RS232通信协议。The communication interface 110 may be a conventional communication serial circuit, such as an Ethernet interface circuit, an RS232 communication serial circuit, or an RS485 communication serial circuit, etc. In this embodiment, the detailed model of the communication interface 110 is exemplarily RS232.

Of course, the communication interface 110 also uploads the data sent by the controller 120 to an external device.
如图2所示,本实施例中的控制器120包括:主控电路121、脉冲控制电路122和驱动控制电路123。主控电路121可以分别与通信接口110、脉冲控制电路122和驱动控制电路123连接,脉冲控制电路122和驱动控制电路123则可以均与M路光源模块130连接。As shown in FIG. 2, the controller 120 in this embodiment includes a main control circuit 121, a pulse control circuit 122 and a drive control circuit 123. The main control circuit 121 can be connected to the communication interface 110, the pulse control circuit 122 and the drive control circuit 123, respectively, and the pulse control circuit 122 and the drive control circuit 123 can be connected to the M-channel light source module 130 respectively.
主控电路121可以为具有信号处理能力的集成电路芯片,在本实施例中,主控电路121为通用处理器,例如包括:中央处理器(Central Processing Unit,CPU)、网络处理器(Network Processor,NP)、单片机等,在本申请其他实施例中,主控电路121的型号还可以为STM32_FPGA_CTRV1.5型等。The main control circuit 121 may be an integrated circuit chip with signal processing capability. In this embodiment, the main control circuit 121 is a general-purpose processor, including, for example, a central processor (Central Processing Unit, CPU) and a network processor (Network Processor) , NP), single-chip microcomputer, etc. In other embodiments of the present application, the model of the main control circuit 121 may also be STM32_FPGA_CTRV1.5 type.
主控电路121的存储介质中存储有控制程序,主控电路121的I/O端口通过通信接口110与外部设备通信后,主控电路121内的控制程序可以由外部设备进行配置或更新,以及主控电路121也可以通过通信接口110获得外部设备发送的控制指令而执行存储介质中的控制程序。A control program is stored in the storage medium of the main control circuit 121. After the I / O port of the main control circuit 121 communicates with an external device through the communication interface 110, the control program in the main control circuit 121 can be configured or updated by the external device, and The main control circuit 121 may also obtain a control command sent by an external device through the communication interface 110 and execute the control program in the storage medium.
可选地,主控电路121存储的控制程序中可以包括用于生成激光脉冲和驱动激光脉冲的程序,那么主控电路121在外部设备的控制下或者主控电路121自动运行控制程序而将用于生成激光脉冲和驱动激光脉冲的程序执行,这样主控电路121就可以根据执行用于生成激光脉冲的程序而生成M个脉冲信号数据,以及可以根据执行用于驱动激光脉冲的程序而生成N个驱动信号数据,N可以为大于1的任何整数。并且,主控电路121的I/O端口通过与脉冲控制电路122和驱动控制电路123通信,主控电路121可以将M个脉冲信号数据发送给脉冲控制电路122,使得脉冲控制电路122基于M个脉冲信号数据对应生成M个脉冲控制信号;以及主控电路121还可以将N个驱动信号数据发送给驱动控制电路123,使得驱动控制电路123可以根据N个驱动信号数据对应生成N个驱动信号。Optionally, the control program stored in the main control circuit 121 may include a program for generating laser pulses and driving laser pulses, then the main control circuit 121 will be used under the control of an external device or the main control circuit 121 automatically runs the control program The program for generating the laser pulse and driving the laser pulse is executed, so that the main control circuit 121 can generate M pulse signal data according to the execution of the program for generating the laser pulse, and can generate the N according to the execution of the program for driving the laser pulse. N drive signal data, N can be any integer greater than 1. Moreover, the I / O port of the main control circuit 121 communicates with the pulse control circuit 122 and the drive control circuit 123, the main control circuit 121 can send M pulse signal data to the pulse control circuit 122, so that the pulse control circuit 122 is based on the M The pulse signal data correspondingly generates M pulse control signals; and the main control circuit 121 can also send N drive signal data to the drive control circuit 123, so that the drive control circuit 123 can generate N drive signals corresponding to the N drive signal data.
可以理解到的是,在M个脉冲控制信号中,每个脉冲控制信号可以包含:等待时长、脉冲延时时长和脉冲信号。故每个脉冲信号数据则对每个脉冲控制信号中的等待时长的长短、脉冲延时时长的长短以及脉冲信号的信号波形进行了对应的定义。而由于每 个脉冲信号数据可以是基于用于生成激光脉冲的程序运行而生成,故在编辑该用于生成激光脉冲的程序时,可以根据实际需求对该生成激光脉冲的程序进行配置而使得每个脉冲控制信号的等待时长的长短、脉冲延时时长的长短以及脉冲信号的信号波形,使得M个脉冲控制信号的等待时长的长短、脉冲延时时长的长短、脉冲信号的信号波形的脉冲信号的信号波形长短完全不相同或至少部分相同。在本实施例中,3个脉冲信号的信号波形均为三角波,在本申请其他实施例中,各脉冲信号的信号波形可以为方波、三角波、正余弦波或其它不规则波形。It can be understood that, of the M pulse control signals, each pulse control signal may include: waiting time, pulse delay time, and pulse signal. Therefore, each pulse signal data defines the length of the waiting time, the length of the pulse delay time, and the signal waveform of the pulse signal in each pulse control signal. Since each pulse signal data can be generated based on the operation of the program for generating laser pulses, when editing the program for generating laser pulses, the program for generating laser pulses can be configured according to actual needs so that each The length of the waiting time of each pulse control signal, the length of the pulse delay time, and the signal waveform of the pulse signal make the length of the waiting time of the M pulse control signals, the length of the pulse delay time, the signal waveform of the pulse signal The signal waveform length is completely different or at least partially the same. In this embodiment, the signal waveforms of the three pulse signals are all triangle waves. In other embodiments of the present application, the signal waveforms of the pulse signals may be square waves, triangle waves, sine cosine waves, or other irregular waveforms.
也可以理解到的是,在N个驱动信号中,每个驱动信号可以包含用于驱动的电流值。故每个驱动信号数据则也对每个驱动信号的电流值进行了对应的定义。而由于每个驱动信号数据可以是基于用于驱动激光脉冲的程序运行而生成,故在编辑该用于驱动激光脉冲的程序时,可以根据实际需求对该驱动激光脉冲的程序进行配置而使得N个脉冲驱动信号的电流值完全不相同或至少部分相同。It can also be understood that, of the N driving signals, each driving signal may include a current value for driving. Therefore, each drive signal data also defines the current value of each drive signal. Since each driving signal data can be generated based on the operation of the program for driving the laser pulse, when editing the program for driving the laser pulse, the program for driving the laser pulse can be configured according to the actual needs so that N The current values of the pulse drive signals are completely different or at least partially the same.
请继续参阅图2,脉冲控制电路122也可以为具有信号处理转换能力的集成电路芯片,以及脉冲控制电路122可以是数模转换芯片,在本实施例中,示例性地,脉冲控制电路122是型号为AD9708型的数模转换芯片。Please continue to refer to FIG. 2, the pulse control circuit 122 may also be an integrated circuit chip with signal processing conversion capability, and the pulse control circuit 122 may be a digital-to-analog conversion chip. In this embodiment, by way of example, the pulse control circuit 122 is The model is AD9708 type digital-to-analog conversion chip.
脉冲控制电路122在获得M个脉冲信号数据后,脉冲控制电路122可以根据对M个脉冲信号数据中每个脉冲信号数据进行数模转换,从而可以生成每个脉冲信号数据转换后的每个脉冲控制信号,共对应生成M个脉冲控制信号。那么,针对生成的每个脉冲控制信号来说,每个脉冲控制信号中都可以包含对应的每个脉冲信号数据所定义的等待时长、脉冲延时时长和脉冲信号。After the pulse control circuit 122 obtains M pulse signal data, the pulse control circuit 122 can perform digital-to-analog conversion on each pulse signal data in the M pulse signal data, thereby generating each pulse after each pulse signal data conversion The control signals correspondingly generate M pulse control signals. Then, for each pulse control signal generated, each pulse control signal may contain the corresponding waiting time, pulse delay time and pulse signal defined by each pulse signal data.
本实施例中,M个脉冲信号数据还可以定义发送M个脉冲控制信号中每个脉冲控制信号的第一时刻,共定义出M个第一时刻。In this embodiment, the M pulse signal data may also define the first moment of sending each of the M pulse control signals, and a total of M first moments are defined.
可选地,由于后续可以通过等待时长来将消除发送脉冲控制信号的第一时刻不同和光程差带来影响,并使得M个脉冲控制信号调整到同一时刻,故此时可以根据控制的便捷性来设定每个第一时刻。Alternatively, since the waiting time can subsequently be used to eliminate the influence of the difference in the first moment of sending the pulse control signal and the difference in optical path length, and to adjust the M pulse control signals to the same moment, the time can be adjusted according to the convenience of the control Set every first moment.
若考虑后续可以只消除光程差的影响,可以定义M个第一时刻为同一时刻。If it is considered that only the influence of the optical path difference can be eliminated in the future, M first moments can be defined as the same moment.
若考虑后续可以将发送时刻的不同和光程差的影响一并消除,可以定义M个第一时刻为至少部分为同一时刻,例如,可以定义M个第一时刻中第i个第一时刻为A时刻,并定义M个第一时刻中第i+1个第一时刻为A时刻之后10ns的B时刻。需要注意到是,上述时延的具体数值可以根据具体使用场景的需要场景进行调整,本实施例中将该时间差设置为10ns仅仅是示例性的。If it is considered that the difference between the transmission time and the effect of the optical path difference can be eliminated at the same time, M first moments can be defined as at least part of the same moment, for example, the i-th first moment of M first moments can be defined as A Time, and define the i + 1th first time out of the M first times as time B 10ns after time A. It should be noted that the specific value of the above-mentioned delay can be adjusted according to the required scenario of the specific use scenario. In this embodiment, setting the time difference to 10 ns is merely exemplary.
这样脉冲控制电路122根据定义的M个第一时刻,可以在M个第一时刻将M个脉冲控制信号通过I/O端口一一对应的发送给M路光源模块130。In this way, according to the defined M first moments, the pulse control circuit 122 can send M pulse control signals to the M light source modules 130 through the I / O ports in a one-to-one correspondence at the M first moments.
驱动控制电路123也可以为具有信号处理转换能力的集成电路芯片,以及驱动控制电路123也可以是数模转换芯片,在本实施例中,示例性地,驱动控制电路123是型号为AD7032型的数模转换芯片。The drive control circuit 123 may also be an integrated circuit chip with signal processing conversion capability, and the drive control circuit 123 may also be a digital-to-analog conversion chip. In this embodiment, the drive control circuit 123 is exemplarily model AD7032 Digital-to-analog conversion chip.
驱动控制电路123在获得N个驱动信号数据后,驱动控制电路123可以根据对N个驱动信号数据中每个驱动信号数据进行数模转换,从而可以生成每个驱动信号数据转换后的每个脉冲驱动信号,共对应生成N个脉冲驱动信号。那么,也针对生成的每个脉冲驱动信号来说,每个脉冲驱动信号中都可以包含对应的每个驱动信号数据所定义的电流值。After the drive control circuit 123 obtains N drive signal data, the drive control circuit 123 can perform digital-to-analog conversion on each of the N drive signal data, thereby generating each pulse after each drive signal data conversion The driving signal corresponds to generating N pulse driving signals. Then, for each pulse drive signal generated, each pulse drive signal may contain the current value defined by the corresponding data of each drive signal.
本实施例中,N个驱动信号数据还可以定义发送N个脉冲驱动信号中每个脉冲驱动信号的时刻和每个脉冲驱动信号持续的时间段,共定义出N个时刻和N个时间段。那么驱动控制电路123根据N个时刻,将在每个脉冲驱动信号在对应的每个时刻发送至M 路光源模块130中的每路光源模块130,并根据对应的每个时间段控制每个脉冲驱动信号在每路光源模块130上作用该每个时间段,这样就能够使得每路光源模块130在每个脉冲驱动信号作用的每个时间段内有效的对每个脉冲驱动信号生成的源激光脉冲进行驱动。In this embodiment, the N driving signal data may also define the time when each of the N pulse driving signals is sent and the time period during which each pulse driving signal lasts, and a total of N time and N time periods are defined. Then the drive control circuit 123 sends the drive signal at each pulse to each light source module 130 of the M light source modules 130 at each corresponding time according to N times, and controls each pulse according to each corresponding time period The driving signal acts on each light source module 130 for each time period, so that each light source module 130 can effectively generate the source laser for each pulse driving signal within each time period for each pulse driving signal Pulse to drive.
可以理解到,对于M路光源模块130中的每路光源模块130,每路光源模块130获得的脉冲控制信号集包括:M个脉冲控制信号中对应的一个脉冲控制信号和N个脉冲驱动信号。It can be understood that, for each light source module 130 of the M light source modules 130, the pulse control signal set obtained by each light source module 130 includes: a corresponding pulse control signal and N pulse drive signals among the M pulse control signals.
请参阅图2和图3,在本实施例的M路光源模块130中,每路光源模块130配置为在每个第二时刻获得每个脉冲控制信号,并获得等待时长。在每路光源模块130根据等待时长,从每个第二时刻等待至每个第三时刻时,每路光源模块130还配置为获得脉冲延时时长,其中,M路光源模块130对应的M个第三时刻为同一时刻。以及在每路光源模块130根据脉冲延时时长,从每个第三时刻在等待至第四时刻时,每路光源模块130还配置为根据脉冲信号和N个脉冲驱动信号输出一路激光脉冲。Please refer to FIGS. 2 and 3. In the M-channel light source module 130 of this embodiment, each light source module 130 is configured to obtain each pulse control signal at every second moment and obtain the waiting time. When each light source module 130 waits from every second time to every third time according to the waiting time, each light source module 130 is further configured to obtain a pulse delay time, where M light source modules 130 correspond to M The third moment is the same moment. And each light source module 130 is further configured to output one laser pulse according to the pulse signal and the N pulse drive signals when each light source module 130 waits from every third time to the fourth time according to the pulse delay time.
下面将对每路光源模块130执行上述流程的原理进行详细的说明。The principle that each light source module 130 executes the above process will be described in detail below.
在M路光源模块130中,每路光源模块130可以包括:种子源激光器131、N级放大器132和光隔离器133。实际中,M路光源模块130的数量可以为5-30,但不作为限定。In the M-channel light source module 130, each light source module 130 may include a seed source laser 131, an N-stage amplifier 132, and an optical isolator 133. In practice, the number of M-channel light source modules 130 may be 5-30, but it is not limited.
对于M路光源模块130来说,脉冲控制电路122则可以与M路光源模块130的M个种子源激光器131连接,驱动控制电路123则可以与M路光源模块130中每路光源模块130的N级放大器132连接。而在每路光源模块130中,N级放大器132可以以串连方式连接在种子源激光器131和合束器140之间,且在N级放大器132中每一级放大器132两端均串连连接有光隔离器133。For the M-channel light source module 130, the pulse control circuit 122 can be connected to the M seed source lasers 131 of the M-channel light source module 130, and the drive control circuit 123 can be connected to the N of each of the M-channel light source modules 130. The stage amplifier 132 is connected. In each light source module 130, the N-stage amplifier 132 can be connected in series between the seed source laser 131 and the beam combiner 140, and in the N-stage amplifier 132, both ends of each stage amplifier 132 are connected in series Optical isolator 133.
每个种子源激光器131可以为采用主振荡功率放大的激光脉冲发生器,在本实施例中,示例性地,每个激光脉冲发生器为LC96A1064型号。每个种子源激光器131配置为基于脉冲控制信号集中的脉冲控制信号输出一路源激光脉冲。Each seed source laser 131 may be a laser pulse generator that uses main oscillation power amplification. In this embodiment, exemplarily, each laser pulse generator is an LC96A1064 model. Each seed source laser 131 is configured to output one source laser pulse based on the pulse control signal concentrated in the pulse control signal.
本实施例中,控制器120在M个第一时刻将M个脉冲控制信号一一对应的输出至M路光源模块130后,每路光源模块130中的种子源激光器131则可以在每个第二时刻获得对应的每个脉冲控制信号。由于M路光源模块130中每路光源模块130与控制器120之间的距离并不一定相同,故每路光源模块130与控制器120之间由于距离产生的光程差也不一定相同。这样,每个种子源激光器131获得对应的每个脉冲控制信号的每个第二时刻也不一定相同。In this embodiment, the controller 120 outputs M pulse control signals to the M light source modules 130 in one-to-one correspondence at M first moments, and the seed source laser 131 in each light source module 130 can be The corresponding control signal of each pulse is obtained at the second moment. Since the distance between each light source module 130 and the controller 120 in the M-channel light source module 130 is not necessarily the same, the optical path difference between each light source module 130 and the controller 120 is not necessarily the same due to the distance. In this way, each second moment when each seed source laser 131 obtains a corresponding pulse control signal is not necessarily the same.
对于每路光源模块130的种子源激光器131来说,其在对应的每个第二时刻获得了对应的每个脉冲控制信号,每个种子源激光器131基于每个脉冲控制信号中的等待时长,那么可以不进行执行操作,从获得该每个脉冲控制信号的第二时刻等待至第三时刻。For the seed source laser 131 of each light source module 130, it obtains each corresponding pulse control signal at each corresponding second moment, and each seed source laser 131 is based on the waiting time in each pulse control signal, Then, it is not necessary to perform the operation, and wait from the second moment to obtain the third moment when the pulse control signal is obtained.
可选地,为保证每个种子源激光器131能够同步的执行对发射激光脉冲进行延时,以便于通过延时来控制后续每个激光脉冲的合成方式,那么可以使得每个种子源激光器131根据等待时长等待至第三时刻的为同一时刻,即M路光源模块130对应的M个第三时刻为同一时刻。Optionally, in order to ensure that each seed source laser 131 can execute the delay of the emitted laser pulse synchronously, so as to control the synthesis method of each subsequent laser pulse through the delay, then each seed source laser 131 can be made The waiting time waits until the third moment is the same moment, that is, the M third moments corresponding to the M-channel light source module 130 are the same moment.
因此,为保证M个第三时刻为同一时刻,若M个第一时刻为至少部分为同一时刻,那么在设置每个脉冲控制信号中的等待时长时可考虑发射每个脉冲控制信号的每个第一时刻和每个脉冲控制信号发射后所行径的光程产生的光程差的影响。Therefore, in order to ensure that the M third moments are the same moment, if the M first moments are at least partly the same moment, then when setting the waiting time in each pulse control signal, consider transmitting each of the pulse control signals. The influence of the optical path difference caused by the optical path of the path at the first moment and after each pulse control signal is transmitted.
例如,第i个脉冲控制信号为A时刻发射且第i个脉冲控制信号的光程差为0,第i+1个脉冲控制信号为第一时刻为A时刻之后10ns的B时刻发送且相较于第i个脉冲控制信号的光程差为10ns。故在第i个脉冲控制信号的等待时长设置为50ns时,可以将 第i+1个脉冲控制信号的等待时长设置为30ns,这样就可以保证第i个脉冲控制信号等待至的第三时刻和第i+1个脉冲控制信号等待至的第三时刻相同,其中,i为不大于N的正整数。For example, the i-th pulse control signal is transmitted at time A and the optical path difference of the i-th pulse control signal is 0, and the i + 1 pulse control signal is sent at time B that is 10 ns after time A at time 1 and is compared The optical path difference of the i-th pulse control signal is 10 ns. Therefore, when the waiting time of the i-th pulse control signal is set to 50ns, the waiting time of the i + 1th pulse control signal can be set to 30ns, so as to ensure that the third time and The third time until the i + 1th pulse control signal waits is the same, where i is a positive integer not greater than N.
可选地,也为保证M个第三时刻为同一时刻,若M个第一时刻为同一时刻,那么在设置每个脉冲控制信号中的等待时长时可受到每个脉冲控制信号发射后所行径的光程产生的光程差的影响。Optionally, in order to ensure that the M third moments are the same moment, if the M first moments are the same moment, then the waiting time in each pulse control signal can be affected by the behavior after each pulse control signal is transmitted. The effect of the optical path difference caused by the optical path.
例如,第i个脉冲控制信号的光程差为0,第i+1个脉冲控制信号相较于第i个脉冲控制信号的光程差为10ns。故在第i个脉冲控制信号的等待时长设置为50ns时,可以将第i+1个脉冲控制信号的等待时长设置为40ns,这样就也可以保证第i个脉冲控制信号等待至的第三时刻和第i+1个脉冲控制信号等待至的第三时刻相同。For example, the optical path difference of the i-th pulse control signal is 0, and the optical path difference of the i + 1-th pulse control signal is 10 ns compared to the i-th pulse control signal. Therefore, when the waiting time of the i-th pulse control signal is set to 50ns, the waiting time of the i + 1th pulse control signal can be set to 40ns, so that the third time until the i-th pulse control signal waits can also be guaranteed It is the same as the third time until the i + 1th pulse control signal waits.
需要说的明的是,可选地,若定义的M个第一时刻为不同的时刻的原因是为了消除光程差的影响,那么在每个脉冲信号数据中便可以不用设置等待时长,而可以仅在每个脉冲信号数据设置延时时长和脉冲信号。由于主控器在每个第一时刻发送每个脉冲控制信号时便可以将每个脉冲控制信号的光程差消除,这样,M个种子源激光器131可以在同一时刻的M个第二时刻一一对应的获得M个脉冲控制信号,以及M个种子源激光器131中的每个种子源激光器131可以根据脉冲延长时长直接开始延时。It should be noted that, optionally, if the reason for defining the M first moments to be different moments is to eliminate the influence of the optical path difference, then it is not necessary to set the waiting time in each pulse signal data, and The delay time and pulse signal can be set only for each pulse signal data. Since the master controller can eliminate the optical path difference of each pulse control signal when sending each pulse control signal at each first moment, so that M seed source lasers 131 can be at the same moment and M second moments Obtaining M pulse control signals in a corresponding manner, and each of the M seed source lasers 131 can directly start a delay according to the pulse extension time.
可选地,第i个脉冲控制信号为A时刻发射且第i个脉冲控制信号的光程差为0,那么在第i+1个脉冲控制信号相较于第i个脉冲控制信号的光程差为10ns,故可以定义第i+1个脉冲控制信号为第一时刻为A时刻之前10ns的B时刻发送。这样就可以保证第i个脉冲控制信号和第i+1个脉冲控制信号在同一第二时刻分别被发送到相应的两个种子源激光器131。Optionally, the i-th pulse control signal is transmitted at time A and the optical path difference of the i-th pulse control signal is 0, then the i + 1 pulse control signal is compared to the optical path of the i-th pulse control signal The difference is 10ns, so the i + 1th pulse control signal can be defined as the first time being sent at time B which is 10ns before time A. In this way, it can be ensured that the ith pulse control signal and the ith + 1 pulse control signal are respectively sent to the corresponding two seed source lasers 131 at the same second time.
于本实施例中,每个种子源激光器131在基于脉冲延时时长从每个第三时刻在等待至第四时刻时,每个种子源激光器131便还可以根据每个脉冲控制信号中脉冲信号驱动并生成波形对该脉冲信号相同的一路源激光脉冲,并通过光纤将该一路源激光脉冲输出至N级放大器132。In this embodiment, when each seed source laser 131 is waiting from the third time to the fourth time based on the pulse delay time, each seed source laser 131 can also control the pulse signal according to each pulse Drive and generate a source laser pulse with the same waveform as the pulse signal, and output the source laser pulse to the N-stage amplifier 132 through an optical fiber.
可也理解到的是,对于每个种子源激光器131来说,由于每个脉冲控制信号中的等待时长和脉冲延时时长处没有实质上的信号,故每个种子源激光器131可以在每个第四时刻执行每个脉冲控制信号中有实质信号的脉冲信号部分,从而便可以输出相应的一路源激光脉冲。It can also be understood that for each seed source laser 131, since there is no substantial signal at the waiting time and pulse delay time in each pulse control signal, each seed source laser 131 can At the fourth moment, the pulse signal part of each pulse control signal with a substantial signal is executed, so that a corresponding source laser pulse can be output.
还可也理解到的是,设置每个脉冲控制信号的脉冲延时时长可以基于后续可以如何对M路激光脉冲进行组合。例如,若将M路激光脉冲叠加以增加能量强度和平均功率时,可将每个脉冲延时时长设置为相同或交叉(重叠);若将M路激光脉冲排列以增加能量强度和脉宽时,可将每个脉冲延时时长设置为不相同且不交叉;若将M路激光脉冲叠加和排列以增加能量强度、平均功率和脉宽时,可将每个脉冲延时时长设置为一部分不不相同且不交叉,而另一部则相同或交叉。It can also be understood that setting the pulse delay time of each pulse control signal can be based on how the M laser pulses can be combined subsequently. For example, if M laser pulses are superimposed to increase energy intensity and average power, the delay time of each pulse can be set to the same or cross (overlap); if M laser pulses are arranged to increase energy intensity and pulse width , The delay time of each pulse can be set to be different and not cross; if M laser pulses are superimposed and arranged to increase energy intensity, average power and pulse width, each pulse delay time can be set to a part of Not the same and do not cross, and the other part is the same or cross.
于本实施例中,N级放大器132配置为根据所述脉冲控制信号集中的N个脉冲驱动信号对源激光脉冲进行N级放大而得到一路激光脉冲。实际中,N级放大器132的数量可以为2-5,但并不作为限定。In this embodiment, the N-stage amplifier 132 is configured to perform N-stage amplification on the source laser pulse according to the N pulse drive signals in the pulse control signal set to obtain a laser pulse. In practice, the number of N-stage amplifiers 132 may be 2-5, but it is not limited.
可选地,在N级放大器132为1级放大器132时,相应的,该N个脉冲驱动信号为1个脉冲驱动信号,这样基于驱动控制电路123将该脉冲驱动信号发送至每路光源模块130的放大器132,每路光源模块130的放大器132中的泵浦激光器100在脉冲驱动信号的驱动下可以生成用于放大的泵浦激光。那么,每路光源模块130的放大器132在通过光纤获得的每路光源模块130的种子源激光器131输出的一路源激光脉冲时,每路光源模块130的放大器132便可以基于泵浦激光将源激光脉冲放大,从而得到经放大的 激光脉冲。这样,每路光源模块130的放大器132便可以将该激光脉冲通过光纤输出至合束器140。Optionally, when the N-stage amplifier 132 is a 1-stage amplifier 132, correspondingly, the N pulse drive signals are 1 pulse drive signal, so that the pulse drive signal is sent to each light source module 130 based on the drive control circuit 123 In the amplifier 132 of each channel, the pump laser 100 in the amplifier 132 of each light source module 130 can generate a pump laser for amplification under the drive of a pulse driving signal. Then, when the amplifier 132 of each light source module 130 obtains a source laser pulse output by the seed source laser 131 of each light source module 130 obtained through the optical fiber, the amplifier 132 of each light source module 130 can convert the source laser based on the pump laser The pulse is amplified to obtain an amplified laser pulse. In this way, the amplifier 132 of each light source module 130 can output the laser pulse to the beam combiner 140 through the optical fiber.
在N级放大器132为至少两级放大器132时,相应的,该N个脉冲驱动信号为至少两个脉冲驱动信号。这样基于驱动控制电路123将该N个脉冲驱动信号发送至每路光源模块130的N级放大器132,每路光源模块130的每级放大器132中的泵浦激光器100在N个脉冲驱动信号中相应的每个脉冲驱动信号的驱动下可以生成用于放大的泵浦激光。When the N-stage amplifier 132 is at least two-stage amplifier 132, correspondingly, the N pulse drive signals are at least two pulse drive signals. In this way, based on the drive control circuit 123, the N pulse drive signals are sent to the N-stage amplifier 132 of each light source module 130, and the pump laser 100 in each stage amplifier 132 of each light source module 130 corresponds to the N pulse drive signals. Driven by each pulse drive signal, a pump laser for amplification can be generated.
对于每路光源模块130的N级放大器132中的第1级放大器132,第1级放大器132可以根据N个脉冲驱动信号中的第1个脉冲驱动信号生成泵浦激光。以及,第1级放大器132在通过光纤获得的每路光源模块130的种子源激光器131输出的一路源激光脉冲时,第1级放大器132便可以基于泵浦激光将源激光脉冲放大,从而得到经放大的激光脉冲。这样,第1级放大器132便可以将该激光脉冲通过光纤输出至每路光源模块130的N级放大器132中的第2级放大器132。For the first-stage amplifier 132 of the N-stage amplifiers 132 of each light source module 130, the first-stage amplifier 132 can generate a pump laser according to the first pulse drive signal of the N pulse drive signals. And, when the first-stage amplifier 132 obtains a source laser pulse output by the seed source laser 131 of each light source module 130 obtained through the optical fiber, the first-stage amplifier 132 can amplify the source laser pulse based on the pump laser, thereby obtaining a Amplified laser pulse. In this way, the first-stage amplifier 132 can output the laser pulse to the second-stage amplifier 132 in the N-stage amplifier 132 of each light source module 130 through the optical fiber.
对于每路光源模块130的N级放大器132中除第1级放大器132外的第i级放大器132,该第i级放大器132可以根据N个脉冲驱动信号中的第i个脉冲驱动信号生成泵浦激光。以及,第i级放大器132在通过光纤获得每路光源模块130的N级放大器132中第i-1级放大器132输出的经第i-1次放大的源激光脉冲时,第i级放大器132便可以基于泵浦激光对经第i-1次放大的源激光脉冲进行放大,并通过光纤输出经第i次放大的源激光脉冲至每路光源模块130的N级放大器132中的第i+1级放大器132。但若第i级放大器132为最后一级,即i=N,那么第i级放大器132可以得到输出经第i次放大的激光脉冲至合束器140。For the i-th amplifier 132 of the N-stage amplifier 132 of each light source module 130 except the first-stage amplifier 132, the i-th amplifier 132 can generate a pump according to the i-th pulse drive signal of the N pulse drive signals laser. And, when the i-th amplifier 132 obtains the i-1th amplified source laser pulse output from the i-1th amplifier 132 in the N-stage amplifier 132 of each light source module 130 through the optical fiber, the i-th amplifier 132 will The source laser pulse amplified by the i-1th time can be amplified based on the pump laser, and the source laser pulse amplified by the ith time can be output through the optical fiber to the i + 1th in the N-stage amplifier 132 of each light source module 130 Grade amplifier 132. However, if the i-th amplifier 132 is the last stage, that is, i = N, then the i-th amplifier 132 can obtain the output laser pulse amplified by the i-th time to the beam combiner 140.
需要说明的是,为保证每级放大器132均能够正常的对源激光脉冲进行放大,那么N级放大器132中的每一级放大器132接收到每个脉冲驱动信号而生成泵浦激光的时间段可以包含每一级放大器132获得源激光脉冲的时间段,以保证在获得源激光脉冲时有生成的泵浦激光对其进行放大。It should be noted that, in order to ensure that each stage amplifier 132 can normally amplify the source laser pulse, then each stage amplifier 132 in the N stage amplifier 132 receives each pulse drive signal to generate a pump laser for a period of time It includes the time period for each stage amplifier 132 to obtain the source laser pulse, so as to ensure that the pump laser generated when the source laser pulse is obtained is amplified.
也需要说明的是,也为保证每级放大器132均能够正常的对源激光脉冲进行放大,那么每级放大器132可以被完全驱动,即在N级放大器132中第i个脉冲驱动信号的电流值大于等于获得第i个脉冲驱动信号的第i级放大器132的驱动电流值时。It should also be noted that, to ensure that each stage amplifier 132 can normally amplify the source laser pulse, then each stage amplifier 132 can be fully driven, that is, the current value of the i-th pulse drive signal in the N stage amplifier 132 When it is greater than or equal to the drive current value of the i-th amplifier 132 that obtains the i-th pulse drive signal.
这样,若N级放大器132的N个驱动电流值均相同,即每个放大器132的驱动电流值为同一值,对应驱动N级放大器132的该N个脉冲驱动信号的N个电流值也可以均相同。例如,第一级放大器132至第三级放大器132的驱动电流值均为10mA,那么3个脉冲驱动信号的3个电流值也均可以为10mA。In this way, if the N driving current values of the N-stage amplifier 132 are all the same, that is, the driving current values of each amplifier 132 are the same value, the N current values of the N pulse driving signals corresponding to the driving of the N-stage amplifier 132 can also be the same the same. For example, the drive current values of the first-stage amplifier 132 to the third-stage amplifier 132 are all 10 mA, so that the three current values of the three pulse drive signals may all be 10 mA.
若N级放大器132的N个驱动电流值中的每两个动电流值均不相同,对应的该N个脉冲驱动信号中每两个脉冲驱动信号的电流值也可以均不相同。例如,第一级放大器132至第三级放大器132的驱动电流值可以分别为10mA、20mA和30mA,那么3个脉冲驱动信号中,驱动第一级放大器132的脉冲驱动信号的电流值可以为10mA、驱动第二级放大器132的脉冲驱动信号的电流值可以为20mA、驱动第三级放大器132的脉冲驱动信号的电流值可以为30mA。If every two of the N driving current values of the N-stage amplifier 132 are different, the current values of every two pulse driving signals in the corresponding N pulse driving signals may also be different. For example, the driving current values of the first-stage amplifier 132 to the third-stage amplifier 132 may be 10 mA, 20 mA, and 30 mA, respectively. Then, among the three pulse driving signals, the current value of the pulse driving signal driving the first-stage amplifier 132 may be 10 mA. 2. The current value of the pulse drive signal driving the second-stage amplifier 132 may be 20 mA, and the current value of the pulse drive signal driving the third-stage amplifier 132 may be 30 mA.
若N级放大器132的N个驱动电流值部分相同,对应驱动N级放大器132的该N个脉冲驱动信号的N个电流值也可以部分相同。例如,第一级放大器132至第三级放大器132的驱动电流值可以分别为10mA、10mA和30mA,那么3个脉冲驱动信号中,驱动第一级放大器132的脉冲驱动信号的电流值和驱动第二级放大器132的脉冲驱动信号的电流值可以为10mA、但驱动第三级放大器132的脉冲驱动信号的电流值可以为30mA。If the N driving current values of the N-stage amplifier 132 are partially the same, the N current values corresponding to the N pulse driving signals driving the N-stage amplifier 132 may also be partially the same. For example, the drive current values of the first-stage amplifier 132 to the third-stage amplifier 132 may be 10 mA, 10 mA, and 30 mA, respectively. Of the three pulse drive signals, the current value of the pulse drive signal driving the first-stage amplifier 132 and the drive The current value of the pulse driving signal of the second-stage amplifier 132 may be 10 mA, but the current value of the pulse driving signal of the third-stage amplifier 132 may be 30 mA.
可以理解到的是,N级放大器132中每级放大器132对源激光脉冲放大倍数与N级 放大器132中其它每级放大器132对源激光脉冲放大倍数并不一定相同,每级放大器132的放大倍数可以根据实际情况进行选择。It can be understood that the amplification factor of the source laser pulse by each amplifier 132 in the N-stage amplifier 132 is not necessarily the same as the amplification factor of the source laser pulse by each other amplifier 132 in the N-stage amplifier 132. You can choose according to the actual situation.
可以理解到的是,由于每级放大器132都对原激光脉冲进行了放大再输出,故每级放大器132输出端所连接的光纤可以承受更大的光能,因此,在N级放大器132中,与第i级放大器132连接的每条光纤的芯径基于第i级放大器132级数增大而增加,其中,芯径依次增大的光纤的芯径可以选择7um、10um、15um、20um、25um、30um、40um、48um、50um、80um或100um芯径。例如,第一级放大器132的输出端和第一级放大器132的输入端可以连接7um的,第二级放大器132的输出端和第三级放大器132的输入端可以连接30um。It can be understood that since each stage amplifier 132 amplifies and outputs the original laser pulse, the optical fiber connected to the output end of each stage amplifier 132 can withstand greater light energy. Therefore, in the N stage amplifier 132, The core diameter of each optical fiber connected to the i-th amplifier 132 is increased based on the increase in the number of stages of the i-th amplifier 132, wherein the core diameter of the optical fiber whose core diameter increases sequentially can be selected from 7um, 10um, 15um, 20um, 25um , 30um, 40um, 48um, 50um, 80um or 100um core diameter. For example, the output of the first-stage amplifier 132 and the input of the first-stage amplifier 132 can be connected to 7um, and the output of the second-stage amplifier 132 and the input of the third-stage amplifier 132 can be connected to 30um.
本实施例中,每一级放大器132两端均串连连接有光隔离器133,那么对每路光源模块130的N级放大器132,每路光源模块130中可以设有N+1个光隔离器133。In this embodiment, an optical isolator 133 is connected in series at both ends of each stage amplifier 132, then for each N-stage amplifier 132 of each light source module 130, N + 1 light isolations can be provided in each light source module 130器 133.

For example, the preset average power range is: 0Kw-6Kw, The pulse duration is: 0ns-10us, but it is not limited.
请参阅图4至图6,下面将以三个假设来对M路激光脉冲的合成进行说明。Please refer to FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, the following will explain the synthesis of M laser pulses with three assumptions.
如图4所示,假设,脉冲控制信号A的等待时长t1、脉冲延时时长t2、脉冲信号A的脉宽t3,脉冲控制信号B的等待时长t1、脉冲延时时长t2、脉冲信号B的脉宽t3。那么在脉冲控制信号A和脉冲控制信号B的脉冲延时时长t2相同的情况下,对基于脉冲控制信号A产生的激光脉冲和基于脉冲控制信号B产生的激光脉冲叠加,就可以得到输出激光脉冲C。这样输出激光脉冲C的脉宽保持为脉宽t3,但输出激光脉冲C的平均功率可以为脉冲控制信号A产生的激光脉冲和基于脉冲控制信号B产生的激光脉冲的平均功率之和。As shown in FIG. 4, it is assumed that the waiting time t1 of the pulse control signal A, the pulse delay time t2, the pulse width t3 of the pulse signal A, the waiting time t1 of the pulse control signal B, the pulse delay time t2, and the pulse signal B Pulse width t3. Then, when the pulse delay time t2 of the pulse control signal A and the pulse control signal B is the same, the output laser pulse can be obtained by superimposing the laser pulse generated based on the pulse control signal A and the laser pulse generated based on the pulse control signal B C. In this way, the pulse width of the output laser pulse C is kept at the pulse width t3, but the average power of the output laser pulse C may be the sum of the average power of the laser pulse generated by the pulse control signal A and the laser pulse generated based on the pulse control signal B.
如图5所示,假设,脉冲控制信号A的等待时长t1、脉冲延时时长t2、脉冲信号A 的脉宽t3,脉冲控制信号B的等待时长t1、脉冲延时时长t2、脉冲信号B的脉宽t3。那么在脉冲控制信号B的脉冲延时时长t2是脉冲控制信号A的脉冲延时时长t2两倍的情况下,对基于脉冲控制信号A产生的激光脉冲和基于脉冲控制信号B产生的激光脉冲排列,就可以得到输出激光脉冲C。这样输出激光脉冲C的脉宽增加为两倍于脉宽t3的脉宽t4,但输出激光脉冲C的平均功率可以与脉冲控制信号A产生的激光脉冲的平均功率和基于脉冲控制信号B产生的激光脉冲的平均功率相同。As shown in FIG. 5, assume that the waiting time t1 of the pulse control signal A1, the pulse delay time t2, the pulse width t3 of the pulse signal A, the waiting time t1 of the pulse control signal B1, the pulse delay time t2, the pulse signal B Pulse width t3. Then, when the pulse delay time t2 of the pulse control signal B is twice the pulse delay time t2 of the pulse control signal A, the laser pulses generated based on the pulse control signal A and the laser pulses generated based on the pulse control signal B are arranged , You can get the output laser pulse C. In this way, the pulse width of the output laser pulse C increases to twice the pulse width t4 of the pulse width t3, but the average power of the output laser pulse C can be the same as the average power of the laser pulse generated by the pulse control signal A and based on the pulse control signal B. The average power of the laser pulse is the same.
如图6所示,假设,脉冲控制信号A的等待时长t1、脉冲延时时长t2、脉冲信号A的脉宽t3,脉冲控制信号B的等待时长t1、脉冲延时时长t2、脉冲信号B的脉宽t3。那么在脉冲控制信号B的脉冲延时时长t2是脉冲控制信号A的脉冲延时时长t2的1.5倍的情况下,对基于脉冲控制信号A产生的激光脉冲和基于脉冲控制信号B产生的激光脉冲叠加并排列,就可以得到输出激光脉冲C。这样输出激光脉冲C的脉宽增加为1.5倍于脉宽t3的脉宽t4,且输出激光脉冲C的平均功率可以是脉冲控制信号A产生的激光脉冲的平均功率或基于脉冲控制信号B产生的激光脉冲的平均功率的1.5倍。As shown in FIG. 6, it is assumed that the waiting time t1 of the pulse control signal A, the pulse delay time t2, the pulse width t3 of the pulse signal A, the waiting time t1 of the pulse control signal B, the pulse delay time t2, and the pulse signal B Pulse width t3. Then, when the pulse delay time t2 of the pulse control signal B is 1.5 times the pulse delay time t2 of the pulse control signal A, the laser pulse generated based on the pulse control signal A and the laser pulse generated based on the pulse control signal B Superimposed and arranged, you can get the output laser pulse C. In this way, the pulse width of the output laser pulse C increases by 1.5 times the pulse width t4 of the pulse width t3, and the average power of the output laser pulse C may be the average power of the laser pulse generated by the pulse control signal A or generated based on the pulse control signal B 1.5 times the average power of the laser pulse.
继续参阅图3,合束器140在得到输出激光脉冲后,由于合成得到的输出激光脉冲的能量和/或平均功率比较,故合束器140可以通过芯径较大的光纤,例如,芯径为80um的光纤,将输出激光脉冲输出到连接器150。3, after the beam combiner 140 obtains the output laser pulse, due to the comparison of the energy and / or average power of the synthesized output laser pulse, the beam combiner 140 can pass through the optical fiber with a larger core diameter, for example, the core diameter It is an 80um fiber and outputs the output laser pulse to the connector 150.
连接器150可以为常规的配置为为外部设备提供接口的元器件,例如,连接器150可以为LLC-M-1080型号的高功率连接器150。连接器150在获得合束器140输出的输出激光脉冲后,连接器150可以将输出激光脉冲再次输出到外部设备。The connector 150 may be a conventional component configured to provide an interface for an external device. For example, the connector 150 may be a LLC-M-1080 model high-power connector 150. After the connector 150 obtains the output laser pulse output by the beam combiner 140, the connector 150 may output the output laser pulse to the external device again.
