Description of the invention [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a laser light incident optical device for stably incident laser light having a sharp pulse power of 10 MW or more on a fiber and stably incident on an optical fiber. [Prior art] Traditionally, laser ablation, laser-induced fluorescence analysis, or laser firing Φ uses a solid-state laser oscillator that uses a giant pulse wave (GP) oscillation method with a peak power of several MW or more. The resulting laser light. The transmission of such high-power laser light is, for example, using a step-varying refractive optical fiber made of quartz. Secondly, the optical fiber made of quartz can transmit up to several kW during continuous oscillation (CW) laser light. However, when the pulse duration is short pulse laser light with a duration of several nsec and the pulse energy exceeds tens of mJ of laser light, the peak power will reach several MW or more. ® Compared with the pulse energy of continuous oscillation light, the pulse energy of short pulse laser light is about 100 times and the peak power density is also extremely high lfT1 ~ l.OGW / cm2. Therefore, the damage caused by electron burst or multi-photon absorption can cause the optical fiber to be damaged and unable to transmit laser light. In addition, k has reported that the critical threshold of damage caused by pulsed laser light of quartz (quartz glass) material is about 100 GW / cm2 at about 5 nsec during the pulse period ("LASER HANDBOOK", by the Laser Society) , OHMSHA, pp.463, 473). Therefore, 'the laser light with spatial and temporal distribution, that is, short pulse laser light, is practically limited when transmitting using optical fiber, for example, to make the pulse wave period 200535409 (2) between 51136 (:, oscillation frequency 1〇1 ^ ^: Yaba0 laser light incident on an optical fiber with a core diameter of 1mm as an example to explain, the pulse wave energy is about 30 ~ 40mJ, that is, the peak power is 6 ~ 8MW (relative to the core diameter tip Frontal power density is 0.76 to 1.0GW / cm2). Therefore, in the current situation, if short-wave laser light of more than 10MW is to be transmitted, the inside of the optical fiber is damaged, and in essence, laser light cannot be transmitted. That is, the laser light of the solid laser oscillator based on the premise of using optical fiber for transmission is mainly continuous oscillation (CW) laser light, and the short pulse laser light with a peak power exceeding several MW is difficult to use optical fiber to In addition, in order to use the optical fiber to transmit the laser light and make the laser light incident on the optical fiber, there are reports that the laser light and the optical fiber should be matched in space. At this time, in order to limit the incident diameter of the laser light to the optical fiber to the optical fiber, Within core diameter and limited Within the optical fiber's numerical aperture NA, there are reports that condensed laser light and incident it on the incident end face of the optical fiber ("laser processing technology", by Kasumi Hirotsu, Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun, pp.34 ~ 37). However, when the laser light with high sharp power is collected and incident on the optical fiber, the laser light partially converges inside the optical fiber, and the power density of certain parts of the optical fiber will be higher, which will damage the internal part of the optical fiber. In addition, there is also a method of preventing the laser light from being condensed within the optical fiber by condensing the shallower laser light. However, when the peak power exceeds several MW, it is difficult to completely prevent the laser light from converging inside the optical fiber. The report of Non-Patent Document 2 pointed out that the cause of optical fiber damage caused by the convergence of laser light inside the fiber is because the electric field intensity of laser light with higher sharp power is also higher, and the refractive index of part of the quartz material of the optical fiber will be Compared with -6-200535409 (3) The strong electric field changes and self-focusing caused by a lens effect occurs. In addition, in order to transmit laser light with a peak power exceeding 10MW, the following can be used Method, that is, after the amplified laser light is incident on the array-like split lens to perform tens of divisions in the space, then the condenser lens arranged behind the array is used to make the entire division number incident on the optical fiber. 10 MW laser light, after the amplified laser light is incident on the array-like split lens to perform tens of divisions in the space, # the method of using the condenser lens arranged behind the array to make the entire division number incident on the optical fiber, because The array-shaped split lens can be manufactured to a size of about 2mm. For example, in order to obtain the number of divisions of 81 divisions (= 9X9), it is necessary to make a 2mm square convex lens into 9 parallel 18mmX 18mm split lens groups (fly-eye lens). ). However, the split lens group has a problem that it is very expensive, that is, the fly-eye lens has a problem that it is very expensive. In addition, for example, a horizontally split lens group of nine cylindrical lenses having a width of 2 mm × a length of 18 mm and a width of 2 mm in the direction of curvature, and two vertical lens groups of nine vertically split lens groups of the same lens in a horizontal queue With the number of divisions 81 (= 9X9), the same effect as that of the above-mentioned fly-eye lens can also be obtained. However, although the cost of the lens can be reduced a little, there is a problem that the number of component points and structural members to be held increases, which increases the total cost. In addition, when a fly-eye lens is used, even if the size of the lens is 18 mm square of the number of divisions 8 1 = 9X9, the cross-sectional size (beam diameter) of the laser light must be enlarged to about 2 6 of the diagonal of a square of 18 mm on one side. mm. In addition, when using a fly-eye lens, in addition to the above-mentioned increase in cost, due to the effect of the reflection loss of the boundary part of each lens, there is a problem that 200535409 (4) the transmission efficiency is reduced by 10 to 20%. , And the question of where to adjust. [Summary of the Invention] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a giant pulse wave with a sharp peak power greater than 10 MW, which can transmit laser light in a damaged condition at a relatively low cost without reducing transmission efficiency. ^ Solid The laser light of the laser oscillator is incident on the incident end face of the optical fiber and enters the optical device. The present invention is an optical device for condensing the laser light of a giant-pulse solid laser oscillator with a peak power of more than 10 MW into an optical fiber, and has the following features: condensing the laser light from the solid laser A condensing lens; and a specific position behind the condensing point formed by the condensing lens, an incident end face of the optical fiber is set, and the light is incident on the optical fiber position of the incident end face of the optical fiber with divergence #; and the aforementioned optical fiber contains quartz For the material, the core diameter is 0.03 5 ~ 0.1 times, and the number of apertures NA is 0.06 ~ 0.22. Secondly, using quartz-containing material, for the fiber with a core diameter of '0.03 5 ~ 0.1 times, the number of apertures NA is a step change of 0.06 ~ 0.22, and the fiber has a sharp pulse power of more than 10MW. The laser light is transmitted to the incident end of the optical fiber in a divergent manner without the optical fiber being damaged. The fly-eye lens fiber does not and does not need to oscillate the laser light wave oscillation. The laser body of the square-end face of the oscillator has the light of the body. The thickness of the above-mentioned laser adjustment mechanism is changed to the refractive type. The thickness of the case is a refracting optical solid laser surface. , 200535409 (5) [Embodiment] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Figures 1 to 9 illustrate the implementation of the laser light incident optical device. As shown in Figure 1, the laser light incident optical device 11 is a solid laser oscillation that uses a giant pulse wave method with a peak power greater than 10MW. The pulsed laser light generated by the laser device (laser device) 111 is incident on the incident end face 102 of the optical fiber 101 with a specific core diameter and fiber shell thickness, so that an incident person who does not damage the optical fiber 101 and has only a small loss can be obtained. The laser light incident optical device Π has a condenser lens 1 3 for implementing the focusing of the laser light L with a cross-section beam diameter provided by the solid-state laser oscillator 1 1 1; and a condenser lens 1 3 And an optical fiber position adjusting mechanism 15 which maintains a distance between the incident end surface 102 of the optical fiber 101 at a certain distance. The condenser lens 13 is a cheap and easy-to-obtain convex lens, as long as it can withstand the quality and shape of the material # and the shape of the heat generated when the laser light 1 emitted from the solid-state laser oscillator 1Π is incident. In addition, when necessary, the condenser lens 1 3 may be a composite lens composed of two thin lenses. The optical fiber position adjusting mechanism 15 includes: a condenser lens holding portion 16 for holding the condenser lens 13; an optical fiber holding portion 17 for holding the optical fiber 10; and an adjustment and adjustment unit for the condenser lens holding portion 1 6 The optical fiber of the condenser lens 13 held by 1 • The adjusting portion 18 of the relative spacing of the incident end face 1 0 2 of 1 0 1. The adjusting part 18 can adjust the optical fiber 1 01 so that the incident end surface 1 2 of the optical fiber 1 0 1 is located at the focal position of the condenser lens 13, that is, adjust the optical fiber 1 0 to the incident end surface of the optical fiber 1 ο 1. 1 0 2 is located at a specific distance behind the spot A. In addition, the adjustment of 200535409 (6) section 18 can be performed manually or using a moving mechanism composed of a motor, a gear mechanism, etc., and the distance from the condenser lens holding section 16 of the fiber holding section 17 can be arbitrarily set. In addition, the incident end face 102 of the optical fiber 101 is located at the focal position of the condenser lens 13, that is, the incident end face 102 of the optical fiber 101 is located at a specific position at a specific distance behind the focusing point eight. The laser light L on the end surface 102 is divergent. That is, the distance between the incident end face of the optical fiber 101 and the condenser lens 13 is optimized, and the laser light L incident on the incident end face 1 of the optical fiber 101 is divergent and incident on The laser light L in the optical fiber 101 will converge at a specific position in the optical fiber 101, and as a result, the density of the sharp power of the specific position of the optical fiber 101 will increase, and the damage of the optical fiber 101 can be suppressed. In addition, when the positional relationship between the condenser lens 13 and the incident end face 102 of the optical fiber 101 is optimized, when the peak power density of the laser light L is a specific size, for example, exceeding 100 GW / Cm2, the light can be prevented from being condensed. The condensing point A Φ of the lens 13 is affected by the air decomposition, so that the laser light L cannot be transmitted stably, and the plasma generated by the air decomposition reaches the incident end surface 102 of the optical fiber 丨 〇 丨 and makes the optical fiber 〇1 incident. Damage to the end surface 02. Specific explanation will be made with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4. However, the distance between the focusing point A of the condensing lens ^ 13 for laser light condensing and the incidence end surface 102 of the optical fiber 101 is, for example, 1 to 10 several mm.

The focal distance f [mm] and the divergence angle of the laser light L incident on the condenser lens 13 is 0!

Angle) θ; therefore, as long as the incident angle of the laser light L incident to the condenser lens 13 is set to Θ !, the laser light L can be efficiently incident on the optical fiber 10 without air decomposition. 1. In its example, for example, the aperture (diameter) of the laser light L is in the range of 2 to 1 3111111, and the distance between the condenser lens 13 and the solid-state laser oscillator 1 1 1 is in the range of 10 to 500 mm. When changing, the calculation result of the focal distance f of the available condenser lens 13 is shown in FIG. 3, and the incident angle (divergence angle) eii of the laser light L incident on the condenser lens 13 is calculated as shown in FIG. 4 For example, if the diameter of the laser light L is r = 3mm (diameter 6mm), and the distance from the solid-state laser oscillator 111 to the condenser lens 13 is 0! The incident angle (condensing angle) of the laser light L incident from the lens 13 to the optical fiber 101 is 02 = 0.15 rad, the peak power is P = 20 MW, and the critical point for air decomposition occurs. The peak power density is Pth = 100 GW / cm2 'can obtain the focal length f of the condenser lens 13 and the incident angle ㊀1 of the laser light incident on the condenser lens 13, which are f = 24.9mm and ei = 3.2mrad (the full angle is 6.4mrad). For example, if the focal distance f of the condenser lens 13 set according to the actual measurement is substituted into the formula (4), the concentration must be set in a range where the incident angle θ2 of the optical fiber 101 does not exceed the NA of the optical fiber 101 that the laser light L enters. The focal distance f of the lens 13 (see FIG. 3). That is, FIG. 3 illustrates a condenser lens that undergoes air decomposition when changing the condensing angle (incident angle to the optical fiber 101) θ2 of the laser light L incident on the optical fiber 1 0 1-12-200535409 (9) 1 3 However, as a result of changing the aperture (section beam diameter) of the laser light L and the setting position of the condenser lens 13, the lower limit 値 is about 0.06 rad. However, due to the quality of the laser light L (spatial distribution, wavefront, etc.) and the effect of the light aberration of the condenser lens 13, the actual light-condensing path may sometimes be larger than the ideal light-condensing path. At this time, the condensing path that is obtained by the formula (2) without air decomposition and the actual condensing path should be made equal, the focal distance φ f of the condenser lens 13 should be shortened, and the incident laser light L should be enlarged. Number of apertures NA to fiber 101 (see Figure 4). In addition, the relationship between the numerical aperture NA when the laser light L is incident on the optical fiber 101 and the angle of incidence Θ! Of the condenser lens 13 suitable for a divergent incidence method 'is the angle of incidence of the laser light L incident on the optical fiber 101. The lower limit of θ2 should be greater than 0 · 0 6 rad. In addition, regarding the position of the light-condensing point A of the condenser lens 13 and the position of the optical fiber 101 (the position of the incident end surface 102), if the light-condensing diameter (radius) of the light-condensing point A is ω [mm], the light-condensing point The distance between A and the incident end face 102 of the optical fiber 101 is # Lf [mm], and the cross-sectional beam diameter (that is, the incident diameter) of the laser light L incident on the core of the optical fiber 101 is Wi (diameter) [mm], the laser light When the incident angle of L to the optical fiber 101 is θ2 (half angle) [rad], it can be expressed by the following formula. L f = (Wi —2 ω) / (2 X ta η Θ 2) ... (6) ~ Using the formula (6), the focal position of the condenser lens 13 (condensing point A), and ~ the incidence of the optical fiber 101 The distance Lf between the end faces 102 is set to, for example, 0.25 to 16 mm. Specifically, if the minimum incident diameter of the laser light L incident to the core of the optical fiber 101 is, for example, 42 0 μηα (the power of the laser light L transmitted by the optical fiber 101 ′, that is, determined based on energy or sharp power The smallest core diameter 値) 'this-13- 200535409 (10) In addition, if the maximum 値 is, for example, 1350 μm which is 90% of the maximum core diameter of 1500 μm of the easily available fiber 101, and Wi = 420 to 1350 μm, ω = 100 μm (tip The frontal power is 30MW, the critical concentration of air decomposition (minimum condensing diameter of 100GW / cm2), = ~ 0.22rad (as described later), calculate the appropriate Lf range, then the range of Lf is 0.25 as described above. ~ 16 mm range. Practically, the settable minimum distance φ of the incident end face 102 of the optical fiber 101 is 1 mm, and the distance from the light collecting point A to the incident end face 102 of the optical fiber 101 is set to a range of Ϊ to 16 mm. However, if the distance Lf is more than necessary, the laser light L not incident on the optical fiber 101 also increases, so the upper limit 値 should be, for example, a degree. The distance Lf between the condenser lens 13 and the incident end surface 102 of the optical fiber 101 is preferably adjusted in accordance with the actual combination, and is approximately in the range of 1.5 to 5 mm. Next, from the core diameter of the optical fiber 101 and the thickness of the fiber shell layer, the intensity of the laser light L that can be incident on the optical fiber will be described. ^ As shown above, when the laser light L with a peak power obtained by the giant pulse wave oscillation method exceeding several MW (the power density of the peak is 1CT1 to 1.0GW / cm2) is incident on the optical fiber 101, the optical fiber 〇1 is damaged and cannot transmit the laser light L. 'Therefore, if only the distance Lf between the condenser lens 13 and the incident end face 102 of the optical fiber 101 and the incident light of the laser light L incident on the condenser lens 13 are described using FIG. 1, FIG. 2 to FIG. 4, and FIG. Angle Θ! And the condensing angle θ2 when the laser light L condensed by the condenser lens 13 is incident on the incident end face 102 of the optical fiber 101, the optical fiber 1 〇1 may be damaged. -14- 200535409 (11) The structure characteristics of the appropriate optical fiber 101 and the transmission characteristics of the laser light L will be described below. Figure 5 shows the experimental results. The laser light L with a pulse period of 5 nsec and a laser beam L diameter (section beam diameter) of 700 μηι is described using the divergent incidence method and the general convergent incidence method described in FIG. 2. An experimental result of an optical fiber 101 having a core diameter of 100 μm and a fiber shell thickness of 50 μm and a number of apertures NA of 0.2 at an incidence angle of 0.02 rad. Φ As shown in Figure 5, in the convergent incidence method, the transmission of 30mJ of energy (6MW of sharp power) will cause damage to the optical fiber 101. In contrast, when the divergent incidence method is applied, it is confirmed that the transmission energy of 70m: T (14MW of sharp power) will not cause damage to the optical fiber 101. In addition, the structure of the optical fiber 101 is a step-change refractive quartz material of the structure shown in FIG. 6 because the core material has a high purity and is not easily damaged by the energy of the laser light L. The optical fiber 101 is composed of a core 103, a fiber case 104 formed around the core 103, and a covering layer 105 formed around the fiber case 104. In addition, when the thickness of the fiber housing 104 is greater than a specific thickness, it is easy to cause damage due to mechanical stress when bending the optical fiber 101. Conversely, if the layer thickness of the fiber housing 104 is too thin, the number of incident MW levels is sharp. Laser of Frontal Power ~ Light! At this time, the laser light L leaking from the core 103 to the fiber housing 104 will cause the optical fiber 101 to be damaged. In addition, the thickness of the fiber shell 104 should be smaller than the diameter of the core 103, for example, about 0.5 to 0.1 times the diameter of the core 103. Therefore, the tip power density of a small amount of laser light L leaking out to the fiber housing 104 is also about 10 times higher than that of the core 103 portion. This-15- 200535409 (12) In addition, the diffraction effect caused by the normal laser light L transmission in the boundary part of the fiber casing 104 and core 103 is somewhat similar to the existence of a fixed wave, because some of the sharp power will be higher. Therefore, there is a lower limit when reducing the thickness of the fiber shell 104. Fig. 7 shows the experimental results. The thickness of the fiber cover 104 is changed so that the laser light period L is 5 nsec and the aperture (profile beam diameter) is 700 μm. The divergent incidence method described in Fig. 2 is used. 〇2i * ad was incident on an optical fiber 101 having a core diameter of 100 μm and a numerical aperture of NA of 0.2. • As shown in Figure 7, as the thickness of the fiber case 104 increases, a larger amount of energy can be transmitted. That is, it is known from FIG. 7 that when the thickness of the fiber shell 104 is 20 μm, 40 mJ (tip power 8MW) is the limit. However, if the thickness of the fiber shell 104 is 50 μm, then 70 mJ (tip power 14 MW) The optical fiber 101 will not be damaged. Therefore, according to FIG. 7, in order to transmit the laser light L with a peak power of 10MW or more, the thickness of the fiber housing 104 must be 35 μm or more. In addition, if the thickness of the fiber shell 104 is greater than 100 μm, it will become hard and brittle, and it is difficult to bend the light # fiber 101, and the bending radius becomes large, so it should be 100 μm or less. On the other hand, the lower limit of the core diameter is set because of the relationship with the laser power density transmitted by the optical fiber. However, the upper limit of the core diameter is as shown in the following description using FIG. The ratio of the aperture (section beam diameter) of the laser light L is determined. Figure 8 shows the results of the test. 'It keeps the thickness of Fibre 1 04 constant and changes the laser light L diameter (section beam diameter) of the laser light L when incident on the optical fiber 101. Experimental results of optical fiber 101. It can be seen from FIG. 8 that even if there is a difference between the core diameter and the cross-sectional beam diameter of the incident laser light L (diameter-16-200535409 (13) diameter), if the thickness of the fiber shell 104 is the same, then the incident diameter in this range It can transmit the laser light L with a sharp power of 10MW. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, in order to transmit the peak power of 10 MW or more, the condensing path must be 420 μm or more. Therefore, if a margin of about 80% with respect to the condensing diameter is taken into consideration, the core diameter should be 500 μm or more. In addition, as shown in FIG. 9, according to changing the incident angle θ2 of the laser light L to the optical fiber 1 0 1, the aperture (profile beam diameter) is 70 Ομηι using a divergent incidence method. • The laser light L having a pulse period of 5 nSec is incident on The experimental results when the optical fiber 101 has a core diameter of 100 μm, a thickness of the fiber housing 104 of 50 μm, and an aperture diameter NA of 0.2 is 0.2, in order to make the laser power L before and after the peak power 15MW (80mJ energy conversion) incident with low loss , The incident angle θ2 must be about 0.06rad. In addition, as the incident angle θ2 increases, the energy that can be transmitted becomes larger. When the incident angle 02 is 0.12 ^ (1 degree, the laser light L with a sharp power of 20MW can be transmitted. On the other hand, based on the Diffraction at the boundary between the core 103 and the fiber casing 104. The laser light L incident on the fiber 101 is transmitted in the optical fiber 101, and the optical fiber 101 has an upper limit of the number of apertures N A when the laser light L is incident. That is, the optical fiber 1 If the number NA of 0 1 is too small, the incident angle θ 2 to the optical fiber 1 01 will be small when the divergent incidence method is used, so that the sufficient effect cannot be obtained. The laser light L converges at a specific position inside the optical fiber 101, resulting in damage to the optical fiber 101. In addition, if the number of the optical fiber 100 is larger, the laser light L emitted from the optical fiber 101 The angle will increase, so the optical system used to make the laser light L irradiate the object with a specific cross-section beam diameter will also increase. For example, -17- 200535409 (14) Use a refractive index η of about 1.5 One piece of flat convex made of glass material

And the refractive index of the fiber shell 104 is n2. The numerical aperture NA φ can be specified by the following formula. ΝΑ =, [(ηι) 2- (η2) 2] In addition, in order to increase the number of optical fibers 1 0 1 値 aperture NA, the method of reducing the refractive index of the fiber 104 layer is widely used. The amount of fluorine and boron in the 04 layer will make it brittle and easily broken. In addition, if the thickness of the fiber shell 104 obtained by using FIG. 7 is considered, the upper limit of the number of apertures NA according to the above-mentioned irradiation optical system should be approximately 0.221 * ad which is lower. Therefore, the upper limit of the number NA of the optical fiber 101 is 0.22. In addition, # Because the upper limit 値 will be changed according to the actual structure and physical properties of the optical fiber 〇1, the upper limit of the number 値 of the optical fiber 〇1 that can be set when the divergent incidence method is not necessarily 0.22, and The number specified in accordance with the structure characteristics and physical properties of the optical fiber 101. In addition, the core diameter is not affected by the condenser lens described with reference to Figs. 3 and 4, the focal position of 13 and the incident angle θ2 of the laser light L incident on the optical fiber 100, and the optical fiber described with reference to Fig. 8. The experimental results of the restrictions on the core diameter of 1 0 1 and the aperture (cross-section beam diameter) of the laser light L incident on the optical fiber 1 1 and the results of the confirmation of the energy transmission capability using Figure 9 confirm the lower limit. -18- 200535409 (15) The incident angle θ2 of the light L may be equal, so the numerical aperture NA == 0.06 ~ 0.22rad 〇 As can be seen from the above description, it is possible to transmit 2 0 MW (diffusive incident mode) Front power density is 100 GW / cm2) The optical fiber 1 of the laser light L with a giant pulse wave oscillation method of 010 should be between the core 103 with a diameter of 500 to 1500 μηι, and the thickness of the fiber shell 104 between 35 and 100 μm. The number of apertures NA of the optical fiber 101 is in the range of 0.06 to 0.22. In addition, the incident angle θ2 of the laser light L incident to the optical fiber 101 should be a relatively large angle within the range allowed by the configuration of the laser light incident optical device 11. From the above, in order to stably transmit the pulsed laser light L with a peak power of 10 MW or above, or the short pulsed laser light L with a peak power of 10 MW or less, for example, when the number of the optical fiber 101 is equal to 0.2, The incident angle θ2 of the #laser light L incident on the optical fiber 101 should be up to 0.2rad (the upper limit of the number of the optical fiber 101 (the upper limit of the aperture NA)). Next, a specific example of the laser light incident optical device 11 will be described. In addition, the numbers shown below are the data of the laser light L with a peak power of 22 MW as described before FIG. 9. For example, the following conditions are used to transmit and change the optical fiber 1 〇1 of the step-change refractive type quartz material. Nd of the giant pulse wave oscillation method: The solid laser oscillator U1 of the YAG laser oscillator has a pulse period of 5nsec and a pulse energy of 0mJ (the peak power is 22MW = n0mJ / 5nsec) -19- 200535409 (16) Result of laser light L with a diameter of 6mm. Incident angle (incident divergence angle) of condenser lens 13 ei = 1.8mrad (half angle) Laser aperture (section beam diameter) r (radius) = 3 mm (diameter 6 mm) Condenser lens 13 and solid laser oscillation The distance D of the condenser 1 1 1 is 6,000 mm. The focal distance of the condenser lens 1 3 is f = 3 1 mm. The core diameter of the optical fiber 1 0 1 is οοο μη. The thickness of the fiber case 1 〇4 is 50 μm. The number of apertures NA = 0.2rad. Incident angle e2 of the laser light L to the optical fiber 101 = 0.13rad (half angle) The distance Lf between the light-condensing point A of the condenser lens 13 and the incident end surface 102 of the optical fiber L2 = 2mm to the laser light L of the optical fiber 101 Incident aperture (cross-section beam diameter): 700 μπα (diameter) In addition, when the above-mentioned number is used to determine the incident angle θ2 to the optical fiber • 101 using the formula (4), that is, the incidence to the condenser lens 13 is used. Angle (incident divergence angle) θ! = 1.8 mr ad, the distance D between the condenser lens 13 and the solid-state laser oscillator 111! = 60 Omm, the laser entrance aperture (section beam diameter) r (radius) = 3 mm, and When the focal distance f of the condensing lens 13 is 3 mm, and when the angle of incidence θ2 to the optical fiber 101 described above is obtained by the formula (4), the angle of incidence θ2 = 0.1 3 rad. It is considered that the range of the numerical aperture of the optical fiber 101 that can be used in the present invention is in the range of NA = 0.06 to 0.22 rad. In addition, the divergent incidence method is compared with a well-known example using a compound lens divided into mXn, because the influence of the reflection loss caused by the boundary part of each lens can be eliminated. The transmission efficiency of the incident side of the lens 13 to the exit side of the optical fiber 101 can be improved by about 0%. In addition, since the number of optical elements can be reduced by the divergent incidence method, the cost of the laser light incident on the entire optical device 11 can be reduced. Therefore, using a step-variable refractive fiber 101 containing quartz with a thickness of 0.03 5 to 0.1 times the core diameter and a NA of 0.06 to 0.22, the peak power exceeds 10 MW. The solid-state laser φ laser oscillator 1 1 1 emits the laser light L incident on the incident end face 102 of the optical fiber 1 0 1 in a divergent manner, and can transmit the laser light L without damaging the optical fiber 101. And, the transmission efficiency will not be reduced. In addition, no complicated adjustment is needed and the price is lower. Next, another embodiment of the laser light incident optical device 11 will be described with reference to FIG. 10. In addition, the same or similar components as those explained using the embodiments shown in Figs. 1 to 9 are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed explanations are omitted. The laser light incident optical device Π includes: a condenser lens 1 3 for attaching the laser light L of the solid-state laser oscillator 1 1 1 to a specific condensing property; and a condenser lens 13 and an optical fiber 1 〇1. Optical fiber position adjustment mechanism 15 maintaining a distance between the incident end faces 10 and 20; disposed between the solid-state laser oscillator 1 1 1 and the condenser lens 13, and used to separate the solid-state laser oscillator Π 1 A beam splitter (sampling mirror) 31 of a translucent mirror reflecting the reflected laser light (戻 laser light) R reflected by the incident end surface 102 of the optical fiber toward the laser light L of the condenser lens 13; used to receive the beam divergence The reflected laser light R, which is separated by the device 31, outputs -21-200535409 (18) an electrical signal according to the intensity, for example, a CCD camera 32 having an observation means of a photoelectric conversion element. In addition, between the CCD camera 32 and the beam splitter 31, there is an imaging lens 3 3 for imaging the reflected laser light R separated by the beam splitter 31 on a light receiving surface not shown on the figure of the CCD camera 32. 'If necessary, a light amount adjustment device 34 such as an attenuation filter for adjusting the intensity of the reflected laser light R incident on the CCD camera 32 may be provided between the imaging lens 33 and the CCD camera 32. • The CCD camera 32 forms an image based on the information of the incident position of the laser light L incident on the incident end face 102 of the optical fiber 101. Therefore, based on the image of the incident end surface 102 obtained by the CCD camera 32, for example, the position of the optical fiber holding portion 17 of the optical fiber position adjusting mechanism 15 can be moved by a movement mechanism (not described in detail), and the optical fiber 1 can be removed. The position of the incident end surface 1 2 of 1 and the distance between the imaging lens 13 are set to the desired positions described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4. In addition, if the focal distance of the condenser lens 13 is f !, the focal distance of the imaging lens 33 is f 2, and the distance # from the incident end face 1 of the optical fiber 10 to the imaging lens 13 is a, and should be a If the position of the CCD camera 32 (the distance from the incident end surface 102 of the optical fiber 101) is b, the distance between the condenser lens 13 and the imaging lens 33 is d, and the magnification is m, it can be expressed by the following formulas. b = (1 + m) Xf2—m2Xa ..- (11) m = f 2 / fi… (1 2) d = f 2+ f!… (1 3) Therefore, the light concentration is determined using the formula (1 2) The focal distance f of the lens 1 3 and the focal distance f2 of the imaging lens 3 3 to be observed 'next' use the formulas (13) and (11) to determine the interval (distance d) and C between the two lenses. The position of the CD camera 32, etc., allows observation of the incident end face 102 of the optical fiber 101. -22- 200535409 (19) For example, if the focal distance of the condenser lens 1 3 is f! = 3 1 mm ', the beam splitter (sampling mirror) 3 1 is focused toward the fixed laser oscillator 1 1 1 The main light of the laser light L of the lens 13 is arranged at an angle of 45 degrees, and the CCD camera 3 2 is located at a specific position behind the imaging lens 33. The reflected laser light R from the incident end surface 102 of the optical fiber 1 0 1 is on the CCD camera. 32 forms an image, which can be observed using a TV monitor not shown in the figure, and incident adjustment is performed at the same time. • In addition, when the image magnification πm is approximately 3 times, if the focal distance of the imaging lens 33 is set to, for example, f2 = l00mm 'using the formula (12), the condenser lenses 13 and 13 obtained using the formula (13) are obtained. The distance d between the imaging lenses 33 is approximately 13 1 mm. In addition, since the distance a between the condenser lens 13 and the incident end surface 102 of the optical fiber 101 is approximately 33 mm, the distance between the imaging lens 33 and the CCD camera 32 is approximately 7.9 mm. At this time, the image magnification hi according to the formula (1 1) 'is approximately 3.2 times. The optical fiber implemented by the optical fiber position adjustment mechanism 15 is used to adjust the distance a between the incident end surface 102 of the 101 and the condenser lens 13 except for the combination adjustment of the laser light incident optical device # 1 1, so it is used for The beam splitter 3 1, the CC camera 32, and the imaging lens 33 can be detached from the optical path between the solid-state laser oscillator 1 and the condenser lens 13 when the monitor is in the state of incidence. . Next, referring to Fig. 11, another embodiment of the laser light incident optical device Π will be described. Fig. 11 shows an example in which the laser light incident optical device U is applied to a laser-induced fluorescence analysis device (a high-speed analysis device using Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy). The laser-induced fluorescence analyzer can analyze -23- 200535409 (20) The type of sample (analytical object) is slightly limited, however, because it can simplify the processing stage before sample preparation, fast speed, and when the analysis object is solid Various advantages such as direct use can be used, so the application range is very wide. As shown in Figure Π, the laser-induced fluorescence analysis device 301 has a solid-state laser oscillator 1 with a giant pulse wave (GP) oscillation method. Π, laser light Incident optical device (laser light transmission system · light-guiding optical system) Π, irradiation optical system 3 3 1, • Fluorescence detection optical system 341, monochromator (light detector or beam splitter) 351, imaging mechanism 3 6 1 , Timing adjustment mechanism 3 71, and data processing device 3 81, etc. 〇 The solid-state laser oscillator 1 Π is, for example, Nd: YAG laser. In addition, the size of the laser light L output by the solid-state laser oscillator 1 1 1 is, for example, 5nseC before and after the pulse wave period, a peak power of 14 to 20 MW, and a transmission energy of 70 to 100 mJ (a peak power density of 80 GW / cm2). )degree. In addition, the solid-state laser oscillator Π 1 generally includes an oscillation control device, a power supply device, a cooling device, and the like. However, detailed descriptions thereof are omitted. The laser light incident optical device 11 is the same as that described with reference to FIG. 1 or FIG. 10. The laser light incident optical device 11 includes the light condensing that makes the laser light L of the solid-state laser oscillator ill enter the optical fiber 1 0 1 and the incident end surface 102 of the optical fiber 1 divergently. Lenses 1 3 and so on. In addition, the distance between the condenser lens 13 and the incident end surface 102 of the optical fiber 101 is set in the same manner as in the above embodiment. For example, when the core diameter of the optical fiber 101 is 1000 μηι, and the thickness of the fiber shell layer is 50 μηι, in order to condense the light using the condenser lens 13 and utilize a divergent diffusion angle passing through the condensing point to 0.0 6 ~ 〇. 2-24 rad laser beam with a changed beam diameter-24-200535409 (21) Light L can be effectively incident and should be a number 値 aperture NA of 0.06 to 0.2. The irradiation optical system 3 3 1 has a condenser lens 3 3 3 for condensing the pulsed laser light L, which is temporarily divergent, emitted from the exit end face 106 of the optical fiber 101 of the optical device 11 and focused on the sample S or A specific range of the sample holding portion 3 99 for holding the sample S. In addition, the characteristics of the condenser lens 3 3 3 can be arbitrarily set according to the size and shape of the sample S. The fluorescence detection optical system (detection light guide optical system) 3 4 1 has a condenser lens 343 ′ for capturing and emitting fluorescence from the sample S on the sample holding section 3 99 and a condenser lens 3 43 The captured fluorescent light enters the optical fiber 3 4 5 of the beam splitter (monochromator) at the rear stage. The monochromator 3 5 1 is a detection mechanism arbitrarily combined with characteristics of a spectrometer or a sample S including a grating (diffraction grating), a wavelength filter, and the like. The imaging mechanism 3 6 1 receives light (fluorescence) of a specific wavelength that is emitted by the monochromator 3 51 and outputs an electrical signal to its light intensity. For example, CCD cameras, photomultipliers, Or FFT analyzer, etc., can be arbitrarily selected according to the characteristics of the sample S. The timing adjustment mechanism 3 7 1 is a main control device such as a pulse wave generator or a laser-induced fluorescence analysis device 3 0 1 for controlling a power supply device not shown on the diagram of the solid-state laser oscillator 1 1 1. The output timing of the driving pulse wave, and the operation timing of the gate-controlled IC CD C CD camera, etc., take in the fluorescence generated by the sample S at a specific timing. The data processing device 3 8 1 is used to temporarily store the images or spectra output by the imaging mechanism 3 6 1. According to the “element recognition program” stored in advance, “Yuan-25- 200535409 (22) prime quantitative program”, or The image data and the like provided by the imaging mechanism 3 61 are subjected to specific processing algorithms, etc., to perform the characteristic analysis of the sample S or the data processing at the previous stage. The laser-induced fluorescence analysis device 3 01 shown in FIG. 11 is generated by using a main control device 3 9 1 (the example in FIG. 11 is integrated with the timing adjustment device 3 71) according to a specific timing. The driving pulse wave, and according to the driving pulse wave, the solid-state laser oscillator 1 Π outputs the GP-type pulse wave laser light L with a peak power of 14 to φ 20 MW during a specific pulse wave period. The pulsed laser light L output from the solid-state laser oscillator 1 U is converted into a divergence by the condenser lens 13, and is effectively incident on the optical fiber 10 and transmitted to the exit end 106 of the optical fiber 101. A sample lens S is irradiated with laser light L emitted from the optical fiber 101 using a condenser lens 3 3 3 that irradiates the optical system 3 3 1. In addition, as shown in the foregoing description, the peak power of the laser light L is 14 to 20 MW, and the condenser lens 3 3 3 is used to condense a diameter of, for example, several hundred μm, and the peak power density when the sample S is irradiated is ® 80GW / cm2. Therefore, the sample S is plasmatized, and the energy of the plasma causes each element present in the sample to radiate inherent fluorescence (spectrum containing fluorescence). 〇 The condenser lens 343 of the fluorescence detection optical system 341 is used to capture this. It emits light (spectrum containing fluorescence) and enters the monochromator 351 through the optical fiber 345. After that, the monochromator 3 5 1 is used to remove the spectral components and the like of the sample S body, and the intrinsic spectrum of the elements contained in the sample S is precipitated. Use the imaging mechanism 3 6 1 to implement the photoelectric conversion of the spectrum separated by the monochromator 3 5 1 and provide it to the data processing unit 3 8 1 and the data processing unit 3 8 1. Specific tests-26- 200535409 (23) Elements contained in s. For example, when the imaging mechanism 361 is, for example, an FFT analyzer, the elements contained in the sample s can be specified by using the eyes of the operator. In addition, because the inherent fluorescence spectrum of the element contained in the sample S is obtained, it will be delayed by a number psec to several hundred μ sec from the plasma light emission (that is, the irradiation of the laser light L), so the timing adjustment mechanism is used 3 7 1 (Main control device 3 9 1) to control the operation of the imaging mechanism 3 6 1. For example, when the imaging mechanism 36 is a CC camera with a gate, in addition to adding a specific delay to the measurement time, the gate can be turned on at a specific timing, and only the necessary fluorescence spectrum can be measured. In addition, the above-mentioned laser-induced fluorescence analysis device 301 requires almost no prior processing of samples such as I C P luminescence analysis, and therefore can be measured quickly. In addition, when the laser-induced fluorescence analysis device 11 irradiates the sample with the laser light L, there are fewer restrictions on space (place and size), and the unit can be used to analyze the measurement object at any place where the measurement object exists. With the laser-induced fluorescence analysis device 11 shown above, the number of optical components is smaller and cheaper but more efficient. There is no need to use a collimator for beam magnification and an array lens for beam splitting. Just use one or Two condenser lenses (convex lenses) can be incident on the optical fiber. In addition, it is possible to provide a smaller type of laser light L using a giant pulse wave oscillation mode with a peak power exceeding 10MW, such as laser-induced fluorescence analysis, laser ablation, and laser shooting. Incident optics 1 1. In addition, the present invention is not limited to the foregoing embodiments, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the gist. In addition, the respective embodiments can be appropriately combined, and in this case, the combined effect can be obtained. -27- 200535409 (24) According to the present invention, a step-varying refractive optical fiber using a material containing quartz, having a thickness of 0.03 5 to 01 times the core diameter and a NA of 0.06 to 0.22 is used. The laser light of a solid laser oscillator with a giant pulse wave oscillation mode with a peak power of more than 10MW is subjected to divergent incidence on the incident end face of the optical fiber, and the laser light can be transmitted without the optical fiber being damaged. The transmission efficiency also does not require complicated adjustments, and only has to be cheaper.
