Broad band laser system color difference dynamic compensating device
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of Chromatically compensated device of broad band laser system, especially a kind of high power femtosecond ultrashort pulse
Laser system color difference dynamic compensating device.
Background technique
In order to develop fusion energy resource technology, scientists have developed device of high power laser, for center fire and hurry up
The research of the technical solutions such as fire.In high power ultra-short pulse laser facility, cause optics first in order to avoid power density is excessive
Part damage, needs step by step to expand laser pulse, amplify.In general, high power laser system uses bigbore spatial filter
On the one hand structure realizes that beam size expands step by step, on the other hand filter out high-frequency spectrum noise and effectively realize Image relaying, improve
Beam quality.The spatial filter of traditional narrow pulse laser system generallys use Kepler's structure, i.e. the two pieces of positive lens in front and back
It is confocal to rearrange, space filtering aperture is equipped on confocal plane.Due to the material dispersion of lens system, broadband laser pulse
By being inevitably generated color difference when space filter lens, causes different wave length laser emitting angle different, work as convergence
Different wave length has different focal lengths when to focal plane, generates defocus dispersion (axial chromatic aberration), incident light bandwidth is bigger, and color difference is got over
Greatly.On the other hand, due to lens centre thickness, thin edge, the laser pulse by lens difference radial position has different arteries and veins
Rush time delay (PTD).For pulsewidth picosecond and the broad band laser system of femtosecond magnitude for, it is light that foot is lifted in the influence of color difference
Weight.The largest beam bore of high power ultra-short pulse laser system is usually up to tens centimetres, when broad band laser is filtered by space
After wave system system expands step by step, color difference amount is accumulated step by step, if the color difference of total system accumulation will be such that laser terminal gathers without overcompensation
Burnt performance generates serious space-time distortion: so that focal beam spot bore is become larger, peak power density reduces;Pulse temporal pulsewidth becomes
Width, signal-to-noise ratio reduce.
Currently, the means for eliminating color difference in high power ultra-short pulse laser system are mainly substituted including the use of achromatic lens
Simple lens carries out the skill such as pre-compensating for using full transmitting formula spatial filter substitution transmission-type filter, the Chromatically compensated unit of addition
Art means.Simple lens is replaced to be the traditional means for eliminating color difference, achromatism using two pieces of different materials composition achromatic lens groups
Lens group is usually bonded by the positive negative lens that two panels is made from a different material, and can be disappeared in the case where guaranteeing the focal length of lens
Except defocus dispersion;Replace transmission-type beam-expanding system that can theoretically evade PTD and defocus completely using total reflection beam-expanding system
The generation of dispersion.Achromatic lens group and full reflected system have in actual use although can effectively inhibit system color difference
Some limitations.For example, heavy caliber achromatic lens material processing difficulties, expensive;Full transmitting system is by light path folding and very
The limitation of sky transmission, it is difficult in compression indoor location.
Adding Chromatically compensated unit and carrying out precompensation is the main Chromatically compensated means of high power ultra-short pulse laser system.
Pre-compensation unit is including the Chromatically compensated unit based on diffraction element and based on the compensating unit of projection element.Based on diffraction
The Chromatically compensated unit of element is capable of providing biggish Chromatically compensated amount, but beam quality is substantially reduced;And utilize transmissive element
Color difference is compensated although beam quality is preferable, is limited to material and processing technology, it is difficult to provide biggish Chromatically compensated amount.Cause
This, it is urgent need to solve the problem that the compensation device of big Chromatically compensated amount and excellent beam quality can be taken into account by, which how designing,.
