Description
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Die Materialbearbeitung mithilfe von Ultrakurzpulslasern hat eine Vielzahl von vorteilhaften Eigenschaften, wie z.B. die hohe Präzision und die in der Regel minimale Wärmeeinflusszone. Um hochproduktive Anwendungen mithilfe hochrepetierender UKP-Strahlquellen zu ermöglichen werden Scannersysteme mit hohen Ablenkungsgeschwindigkeiten. Durch die Nutzung von Polygonscannern können hohe Scangeschwindigkeiten von bis zu 1000 m/s erreicht werden. Ein Polygonscannersystem besteht aus einem Zylinder, der mehrere plane Spiegelfacetten auf dessen Umfang aufweist. Das Polygon (2 [
Zwischen den benachbarten Spiegelfacetten eines Polygoscanners existieren Kanten, wie z.B. (241). Trifft ein Laserstrahl auf eine solche Kante, so wird der Strahl (
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, Anordnungen mit Multi-Polygonen zur Reduzierung der Totzeit anzugeben, um die zeitlich effiziente Nutzung u. a. hochrepetierender Ultrakurzpuls-Laserstrahlquellen zu ermöglichen. Dabei wird der Laserstrahl zwischen mindestens zwei phasenversetzten Polygonen geschaltet.The object of the present invention is to specify arrangements with multi-polygons for reducing the dead time in order to ensure the time-efficient use, inter alia. to enable high repetitive ultrashort pulse laser beam sources. The laser beam is switched between at least two phase-shifted polygons.
Beschreibung der ErfindungDescription of the invention
Die Kernidee der vorliegenden Anmeldung besteht darin, dass zum schnellen Ablenken und zur effizienten Nutzung von Laserleistung mindestens zwei Polygone (
Zum Zeitpunkt
Zur Steuerung der Leistung/Energie des Laserstrahls kann ein elektrooptischer oder ein akustooptischer Modulator vor dem optischen Schalter angeordnet werden.To control the power / energy of the laser beam, an electro-optical or an acousto-optical modulator can be arranged in front of the optical switch.
Eine weitere Anordnung für den Schalter zeigt
Weiterhin zeigt die Abbildung einen akustooptischen Deflektor mit zwei Hochfrequenzen f1 und f2. Damit kann der Laserstrahl, der durch das akustooptische Medium durchläuft in zwei verschiedenen Teilstrahlen (
Wie
Der Anteil des abgelenkten Strahls wird durch die Stärke der Schallwelle bestimmt. Über die Leistung der Hochfrequenz kann die Laserleistung/-energie moduliert werden.The proportion of the deflected beam is determined by the strength of the sound wave. The laser power / energy can be modulated via the power of the high frequency.
Der typische Ablenkungswinkel, der durch einen akustooptischen Deflektor bei einer annehmbaren Effizienz generiert werden kann, ist abhängig von dem Divergenzwinkel des Laserstrahls.Dadurch bedingt ist der Unterschied der Propagationsrichtungen von (16) und (17) klein.
Darüber hinaus ist die Verwendung identischer Polygone vorteilhaft. Die identischen Polygone können wie folgt hergestellt werden:
- - wie in
gezeigt ist, wird zuerst ein dickes Polygon (220 ) hergestellt - - wie in
gezeigt ist, wird das dicke Polygon durch die Mitte in zwei identische Polygone (221 ) und (222 ) zerteilt.
- - as in
shown, a thick polygon (220 ) produced - - as in
shown, the thick polygon cuts through the center into two identical polygons (221 ) and (222 ) divided.
Die Polygonanordnung ist insbesondere zum Scannen von hochrepetierenden gepulsten Laserstrahlen von Bedeutung.The polygon arrangement is particularly important for scanning highly repetitive pulsed laser beams.
