  • Lasers especially pulsed lasers, are widely used in industrial production. Due to their own characteristics, lasers will emit a lot of heat when they work. Generally, the working temperature range of lasers is ⁇ 5-10°C. However, the heat generated by lasers in actual working conditions (temperature ) far exceeds this range, so fine and constant temperature control is one of the technical obstacles to laser applications.

  • Precision laser processing is different from general laser applications in the following ways: 1) In precision laser processing, laser frequency and energy need to be controlled in real time, and the output power of the laser is constantly changing, and its calorific value is constantly changing, that is, the changing heat load. It only has a switch function and has a unique output power, and its calorific value remains unchanged, that is, a constant heat load; 2) The processing accuracy of precision laser processing is required to be at the micron to nanometer level, and a small change in the laser temperature will affect the processing accuracy.

  • the current common laser cooling system has the following problems in the application of precision laser processing: 1) when the output power of the laser changes, the operating temperature of the laser cannot be kept constant, but fluctuates within a range of at least 3 to 5 degrees Celsius. The reason is that since the temperature control is a typical time-delay control system, the change of the laser power will immediately cause the change of the calorific value, and it takes time for the heat change to be detected by the water cooler after the temperature of the brine is raised.
  • the general laser cooling system used in precision laser processing will distort the constant temperature of the water cooler, and the temperature change rate and amplitude of the laser will be significantly greater than the change sensed by the sensor of the water cooler, which is extremely unfavorable for the stability of precision laser processing. and high-precision machining.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de commande de la température d'un laser, consistant à réguler fortement une température de travail cible d'un réfrigérant en temps réel en fonction du changement de la charge thermique du laser; ensuite, à réguler finenement, au moyen d'une commande PID, la température de travail cible du réfrigérant en temps réel en fonction du changement de température du laser lui-même, de sorte que tout en régulant fortement et en régulant finement la température de travail cible du réfrigérant, la température réelle du réfrigérant peut s'approcher de la température de travail cible et être constante au moyen d'une commande par algorithme PID. Le procédé selon la présente invention améliore considérablement la stabilité de la température de travail et la réactivité du laser, et empêche le phénomène de « fausse stabilité » selon lequel la température d'un refroidisseur à eau est stable mais la température du laser est instable. La capacité de refroidissement est réglée dynamiquement en fonction de la puissance de sortie du laser afin de garantir que la plage de variation maximale de la température du laser est inférieure ou égale à ± 0,25 °C lorsque le laser fonctionne au sien d'une plage de travail entre zéro et la pleine puissance.
