Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of lasers, and particularly relates to a two-dimensional spectrum synthesis device.
Background
The laser light source with high beam quality and high average power has important application prospect in the fields of industrial production, equipment manufacturing and the like. When the laser light source is used in the laser cutting field, the laser light source with higher average power and better beam quality means faster cutting rate and thicker cutting capability, but is limited by the nonlinear effect and the influence of mode instability, the output power of the single-fiber single-mode laser has an upper limit, in order to realize the output of the light source with higher power, the output of a plurality of fiber lasers is usually coupled by using a beam combiner, but the coupling mode causes the quality of the combined laser beam to be poor (M is the coupling mode)2Not less than 15) and limits the use of high power lasers.
The spectrum synthesis technology is another technology for realizing high-power and high-beam-quality laser output, and can synthesize a plurality of laser beams with different wavelengths into one laser beam, so that the output total power level is improved, and meanwhile, the better beam quality can be kept. The light sources of the existing spectrum synthesis device are all one-dimensional light source arrays, but are limited by the limitations of the processing capability and the size of optical elements (such as the aperture of a beam expanding system, the aperture of a multilayer dielectric film grating, and the like), and when the spectrum synthesis is performed by adopting the one-dimensional light source, the number of sub-beams of the light source to be synthesized is limited, which means that the spectrum synthesis device adopting the one-dimensional light source cannot realize the expansion of spectrum synthesis of more laser beams, and also means that the improvement of the output laser power of the spectrum synthesis device adopting the one-dimensional light source also has an upper limit. In addition, when the one-dimensional light source is adopted for beam combination, due to the low utilization rate of the optical element and the special structure, the processing difficulty of the optical element is increased, and the whole combining device is large in size, heavy in weight and high in cost along with the increase of the number of light source sub-beams, so that the application of the spectrum combining device is severely limited.
Therefore, in order to effectively expand the light source sub-beams to be synthesized for the spectrum beam combining system, reduce the volume and the mass of the synthesizing device during the synthesis of the multiple laser sub-beams and promote the application of the spectrum synthesizing device, the invention provides the two-dimensional spectrum synthesizing device.

Detailed Description
It will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein are intended to assist the reader in understanding the principles of the invention and are to be construed as being without limitation to such specifically recited embodiments and examples. Those skilled in the art can make various other specific changes and combinations based on the teachings of the present invention without departing from the spirit of the invention, and these changes and combinations are within the scope of the invention.
The invention is described in detail below with reference to the figures and specific embodiments.
A two-dimensional spectral synthesis apparatus as shown in fig. 1, the apparatus comprising: the two-dimensional fiber light source array comprises a two-dimensional fiber light source array 1, a high-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating I2, a high-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating II3, a low-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating I4 and a low-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating II 5 which are sequentially arranged along the propagation direction of a light path.
The two-dimensional fiber light source array 1 comprises a plurality of fiber light sources with different wavelengths, and can emit two-dimensional array linear polarization beams pointing to be parallel, the two-dimensional array linear polarization beams emitted by the two-dimensional array linear polarization beams are incident to the high-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating I2 at the same angle, and the incident angle is the Littrow angle of the high-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating I2 corresponding to the wavelength.
The two-dimensional fiber light source array 1 may be composed of a fiber laser, a solid laser, or a combination thereof and a coherent synthetic light source thereof. In the light path, a high linear density multilayer dielectric film grating I2 and a high linear density multilayer dielectric film grating II3 are parallel to each other, a low linear density multilayer dielectric film grating I4 and a low linear density multilayer dielectric film grating II 5 are parallel to each other, and the included angle between the grid line direction of the low linear density multilayer dielectric film grating I4 and the grid line direction of the high linear density multilayer dielectric film grating II3 is;
The linear density of the high linear density multilayer dielectric film grating I2 and the high linear density multilayer dielectric film grating II3 is more than 1500 gr/mm; the linear density of the low-linear density multilayer dielectric film grating I4 and the low-linear density multilayer dielectric film grating II 5 is less than 1500 gr/mm.
The central wavelength interval range between adjacent sub-beams emitted by each row of the optical fiber light sources of the two-dimensional optical fiber light source array 1 is not overlapped with the central wavelength interval range between adjacent sub-beams emitted by each column of the optical fiber light sources, and the central wavelength interval between adjacent sub-beams emitted by each row of the optical fiber light sources is larger than the central wavelength interval between adjacent sub-beams emitted by each column of the optical fiber light sources; or the central wavelength interval between the adjacent sub-beams emitted by each row of optical fiber light sources is smaller than the central wavelength interval between the adjacent sub-beams emitted by each column of optical fiber light sources; the purpose of designing the center wavelength interval between the sub-beams in the two-dimensional array rows and columns is to match the center wavelength interval of the light source with the high linear density multi-layer dielectric film grating and the low linear density multi-layer dielectric film grating. After two-dimensional array linear polarization light beams emitted by the two-dimensional optical fiber light source array 1 are incident to the high-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating I2 for diffraction, sub-light beams with smaller central wavelength interval are converged into a light spot on the high-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating II3 in a row or row mode, and are diffracted by the high-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating II3 to be combined into a light beam; the distance in the horizontal or vertical direction of each light beam in a row or a column with larger central wavelength interval among all sub-light beams is kept unchanged after passing through a high-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating I2 and a high-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating II3, then a light spot is formed on a low-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating II 5 after being diffracted by a low-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating I4, the light beam is synthesized after being diffracted by the low-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating II 5, the high-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating I2 and the high-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating II3 synthesize one-dimensional sub-light beams with smaller central wavelength interval, the low-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating I4 and the low-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating II 5 synthesize the other one-dimensional sub-light beams with larger central wavelength interval, and simultaneously ensure the lower dispersion of the synthesized one-dimensional light beams.
In the embodiment, the central wavelength interval between each sub-beam in each row in the two-dimensional optical fiber light source array 1 is set to be 0.1 nm-2 nm, the central wavelength interval between each sub-beam in each row is set to be 2.5 nm-60 nm, after a two-dimensional array linear polarized light beam emitted by the two-dimensional optical fiber light source array 1 is incident to the high-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating I2 for diffraction, because the central wavelength interval of the sub-beam row is small, the sub-beams in each row are converged into a light spot on the high-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating II3 and are diffracted by the high-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating II3 to be synthesized into a light beam, and the distance in the vertical direction of each row of sub-beams is kept unchanged through the high-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating I2 and the high-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating II 3; and then, a light spot is formed on the low-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating II 5 after the diffraction of the low-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating I4, and a beam is synthesized after the diffraction of the low-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating II 5, so that the two-dimensional spectrum synthesis of the multipath sub-beams is realized.
The polarization directions of the two-dimensional array linear polarized light beams emitted by the two-dimensional optical fiber light source array 1 are the same and are all perpendicular to the grid line direction of the high-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating I2, and the arrangement direction of the cross sections of the light spots after being diffracted by the high-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating II3 is the same as that of the high-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating II3θThe angle leads the arrangement direction of the grating to form an angle (pi/2-theta) with the polarization direction, and in order to ensure the synthesis efficiency of the system, the low-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating I4 and the low-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating II 5 are polarization-independent gratings; because the two-dimensional optical fiber light source array 1 emits linearly polarized light, the high-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating I2 and the high-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating II3 are polarization gratings.
The device is also suitable for the situation that the two-dimensional optical fiber light source array 1 emits unpolarized light beams, and the corresponding high-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating I2 and high-linear-density multilayer dielectric film grating II3 are polarization-independent gratings.
