Be used for spatial filter dynamically with the on-line debugging instrument of axial adjustment
Technical field:
The present invention be a kind of spatial filter that is used for dynamically with the on-line debugging instrument of axial adjustment, the dynamic coaxial of main laser bundle and spatial filter that is mainly used in the high power laser system adjusted online.
Background technology:
In high power laser system, adopt the existing nearly 30 years history of spatial filter technology.The major function of spatial filter is that the light beam between the laser amplifier stage is carried out spatial filtering, promptly on its Fourier spectrum, utilizes the high fdrequency component in the aperture filtering incident beam, suppresses the non-linear growth of radio-frequency component, prevents that self-focusing from taking place; Also has to beam expander control bundle divergence and have ability of the reverse laser damage of certain isolation etc. simultaneously.
Facts have proved, in high power laser system, adopted the spatial filter technology after, the brightness of laser, energy, can focus on power index and all significantly improve.At the structure of spatial filter complexity, realize that the accurate coaxial debugging difficulty of main laser bundle and spatial filter is big, precision is not enough.It formerly in the technology the coaxial debugging of adopting static off-line.Formerly technology [1] is to adopt He-Ne laser to carry out coaxial debugging with three dull and stereotyped interference structures.(referring to formerly technology [1] " neodymium glass high power laser system spatial filter " Acta Physica Sinica, Wang Guiying, Zhang Mingke etc., Vol.34, No.2Feb, 1985).Because it is the adjustment at static off-line, dynamically the time and when static, always exist certain difference, this has just caused coaxial degree of accuracy lower, and can not adjust in real time.
Summary of the invention:
The present invention is in order to overcome the existing problem of coaxial debugging of static off-line in the technology formerly, provide a kind of when laser system emission main laser bundle by under the duty of spatial filter, main laser bundle and the same optical axis of spatial filter are adjusted in online in real time ground.
On-line debugging instrument of the present invention comprises: contain the input lens 601 of confocal some O ' and output lens 603 movably, input with export the spatial filter 6 that confocal some O ' between two lens 601 and 603 locates to be equipped with filtering aperture 602.Before the input lens 601 light beam incident ends of spatial filter 6, be equipped with offset lens 1, offset lens 1 and spatial filter 6 concentricity optical axis OO
2, and with 601,603 confocal somes O ' of input and output two lens; On the light path between offset lens 1 and the spatial filter 6, be equipped with polarizing plate 2, on the light path between polarizing plate 2 and the spatial filter 6, be equipped with analyser plate 4, be equipped with autocollimatic planar lens 5 on the light path between analyser plate 4 and the spatial filter 6; The light beam that is returned by original optical path by the completely reflecting mirror 7 (perhaps using system) that is seated in outside spatial filter 6 output lens 603 output terminals passes through spatial filter 6 and autocollimatic planar lens 5 again to analyser plate 4, after analyser plate 4 makes 45 ° of light beam working direction deflections, be connected to the detector 12 on the display screen 13 through attenuator 8, image-forming objective lens 9, smallcolumn diaphragm 10, microcobjective 11 to output successively again.
Said attenuator 8 is that its output end face is on the object plane of image-forming objective lens 9 by the attenuator formation of n piece (n 〉=1).The plane of incidence of microcobjective 11 is on the image planes of image-forming objective lens 9.Plane of incidence storing facing to analyser plate 4 has Absorptivie Attenuator 3.Absorptivie Attenuator 3 is the attenuation by absorption sheet formations by n piece (n 〉=1).
Structure as implied above, on-line debugging instrument of the present invention be we can say, mainly comprises the optical axis regulating system, imaging system and record display system three parts.The optical axis regulating system is the central optical axis OO by the main laser bundle Gz of laser system 14 emissions
1With spatial filter 6 concentricity optical axis OO
2Inject offset lens 1, again successively through polarizing plate 2, analyser plate 4, enter the input lens 601 of spatial filter 6 behind the autocollimatic planar lens 5, in input lens 601 focuses on filtering aperture 602, light beam passes filtering aperture 602, returns original optical path through completely reflecting mirror 7 again from the light beam of output lens 603 outgoing of spatial filter 6.Utilize the offset lens 1 in the light path, autocollimatic planar lens 5 and completely reflecting mirror 7 can accurately online adjusting spatial filters 6 and the concentricity optical axis OO ' O of main laser bundle
2When spatial filter 6 is advanced in the main laser beam, at first regulate the output lens 603 of spatial filter 6, make output lens 603 and input lens 601 confocal on focus O ', and just in time focus in the filtering aperture 602.This is coarse adjustment.And then adjust offset lens 1 and make offset lens 1, input lens 601 and output lens 603 confocal more accurately on public focus O ', and the center of public focus O ' is just in time concentric with filtering aperture 602, and this is accurate adjustment.Return along original optical path by completely reflecting mirror 7 (or using system) beam reflected,, make the coaxial of its incident beam and the light beam strictness returned of reflection by the adjustment of autocollimatic planar lens 5.All adjustment process can clearly be observed from display screen 13.
Imaging system and record display system are that Returning beam is through entering in the attenuator 8 on 45 ° of directions behind the analyser plate 4, after the light beam that light intensity decays through attenuator 8 passes through smallcolumn diaphragm 10 filtering again, enter in the image-forming objective lens 11, image-forming objective lens 11 clearly is imaged on the focal spot on the laser beam foucing in the filtering aperture in the spatial filter 6 602 on the microcobjective 11, after microcobjective 11 enlarges hot spot, be mapped on the detector 12, on display screen 13, reproduce.Be absorbed attenuator 3 by analyser plate 4 beam reflected and absorb, attenuate.
On-line debugging instrument of the present invention is used for spatial filter 6 in the dynamic coaxial debugging of using, and has avoided formerly only adjusting coaxial all drawbacks of bringing at spatial filter 6 static off-lines in the technology 1.For example, it is that the employing wavelength is He-Ne laser and the three dull and stereotyped interferometers of 0.6328 μ m that spatial filter 6 static off-lines are adjusted coaxial, when adjust as the main laser bundle with the He-Ne laser beam with spatial filter coaxial after, push He-Ne laser and three dull and stereotyped interferometers open, push the main laser of the different wave length that will use again, there is aberration in the two kinds of light beams in front and back, and the use light beam is that high light is that the low light level exists the position phase distortion that is caused by nonlinear effect with adjusting light beam.
On-line debugging instrument of the present invention directly inserts in the light path spatial filter 6 is carried out dynamically same axial adjustment, the position phase distortion problem that does not exist aberration that two kinds of wavelength bring and laser power to cause.It is to image on the detector 12 by the far field that on-line debugging instrument of the present invention also has a remarkable advantage, and the picture of focal spots in the filtering aperture 602 clearly is reproduced on the display screen 13 the same optical axis of Real Time Observation main laser and spatial filter 6.So the present invention has improved tens times for the concentric adjustment precision of main laser and filtering aperture 602, can reach 6 μ m.When the main laser bundle is the high-energy emission, can be observed filtering aperture 602 parasitic light distribution on every side, and laser plasma is to the injection of aperture.The present invention also can be used for diagnosing the energy space of target edge, hole laser to distribute.When the geometric position of the Z-direction of regulating spatial filter 6 output lens 603, the laser beam that spatial filter 6 is penetrated becomes the above directional light of 2000m.Can carry out same axial adjustment apace.
