Embodiment
The invention will be further described below in conjunction with embodiment and accompanying drawing, but should not limit protection scope of the present invention with this.
See also Fig. 1 earlier, Fig. 1 is the structure diagram of the accurate near field of the present invention psec pulsewidth diagnostic equipment embodiment 1, as seen from the figure, the accurate near field of the present invention psec pulsewidth diagnostic equipment, comprise first iris 1, second iris 2, the 3rd iris 3, spectroscope 4, first catoptron 5, second catoptron 6, the 3rd catoptron 7, the 4th catoptron 8, the 5th catoptron 9, auto-correlation nonlinear crystal 10, cylindrical mirror 11 and ccd detector 12, the position relation of above-mentioned component is as follows:
Be first iris 1 and spectroscope 4 successively along tested picopulse direction, this spectroscope 4 is divided into transmitted light and reflected light with described tested picopulse, be described second iris 2 successively in described transmitted light direction, first catoptron 5, the 3rd iris 3 and auto-correlation nonlinear crystal 10, be described second catoptron 6 successively in described reflected light direction, the 3rd catoptron 7, the 4th catoptron 8 and auto-correlation nonlinear crystal 10 are described the 5th catoptrons 9 in described auto-correlation nonlinear crystal 10 output autocorrelation signal directions successively, cylindrical mirror 11 and 2 D photoelectric sensitive detection parts 12.
Described spectroscope 4 is metallic-membrane plating reflector or the polarization splitting prism of reflectivity R=50 ± 10%.
Described auto-correlation nonlinear crystal 10 is the KDP crystal.
Described 2 D photoelectric sensitive detection parts 12 are scientific grade CCD.
The nonlinear crystal 10 of present embodiment is of a size of 10 * 10mm, so the zone of action of autocorrelation process is φ 10mm.Because the angle between two optical arms of autocorrelation process is positioned at surface level, and the time parameter in the autocorrelation process determines by angle, so autocorrelation signal be the function of intensity-time in the horizontal direction, is used for the analysis pulsewidth.
In order to improve the measuring accuracy of time parameter, reduce the distorted signals that diffraction effect causes as far as possible, adopted the 5th catoptron 9 and cylindrical mirror 11 that the autocorrelation signal of nonlinear crystal 10 accurately is imaged onto on the described 2 D photoelectric sensitive detection parts.In the surface level of this accurate near field psec pulsewidth diagnostic equipment, beam size is φ 10mm, and the angle of non-colinear autocorrelation process is 55 °, and the magnification of imaging system is 1:1.8.Based on above light channel structure design, the temporal resolution in the horizontal direction of this accurate near field psec pulsewidth diagnostic equipment is 0.1ps, and reference time measurement is 18ps.
In the vertical direction is the function in intensity-space, is used for analyzing the homogeneity of near field distribution.Because nonlinear crystal 10 only is 181mm with the interval of 2 D photoelectric sensitive detection parts 12, and is very near, so the light distribution that obtains on the receiving plane of 2 D photoelectric detector 12 directly can reflect the light distribution of autocorrelation signal.Simultaneously, be inverted situation for fear of the image that the simple lens imaging process is introduced, so cylindrical mirror 11 do not have curvature in this direction, the imaging effect does not take place.Based on above analysis and light channel structure, the tested beam size in this accurate near field psec pulsewidth diagnostic equipment is φ 10mm, and the receiving plane of 2 D photoelectric sensitive detection parts 12 is of a size of 10.24 * 10.24mm, and the pixel number is 512 * 512, and pixel count is of a size of 20um.Therefore the resolution of its in the vertical direction is 20um, and observation scope is φ 10mm.Clap in the pulsewidth test experiments of watt laser system in psec, 310mm * 110mm ellipse light spot is transformed to 38.75mm * 13.75mm through the contracting beam system of 8:1, is constrained to φ 10mm light beam by this accurate near field psec pulsewidth diagnostic equipment then.Therefore the accurate near field resolution of corresponding psec bat watt laser beam is 160um, and the observation scope in accurate near field is 80mm.
This accurate near field psec pulsewidth diagnostic equipment embodiment 2 sees also Fig. 2.Between first iris 1 and spectroscope 4, place first coupled mirrors 13 and second coupled mirrors 14, the measured pulse of any direction incident can be coupled in the main body light path of follow-up diagnostic equipment.At first, first iris 1, second iris 2, the 3rd iris 3 are adjusted to φ 5mm circular hole, incident pulse is constrained to the light pencil of diameter phi 5mm, regulate first coupled mirrors 13, second coupled mirrors 14 then, make that second iris 2, the 3rd iris 3 in this light pencil and the subsequent optical path is coupled.At last, the bore of first iris 1, second iris 2, the 3rd iris 3 is adjusted to maximum, does not influence the measured pulse of incident.
Tested picopulse is through being divided into transmitted light beam and folded light beam after first iris 1, the spectroscope 4, transmitted light beam arrives and is used for auto-correlation nonlinear crystal 10 through second iris 2, first catoptron 5, the 3rd iris 3 backs, and folded light beam also arrives after through the 3rd catoptron 6, the 4th catoptron 7, the 5th catoptron 8 and is used for auto-correlation nonlinear crystal 10.The autocorrelation signal that is used for producing on the auto-correlation nonlinear crystal 10 is through arriving 12 imagings of 2 D photoelectric sensitive detection parts after the 5th catoptron 9, the cylindrical mirror 11.
Accurate near field analytic function is carried out in the imaging of this accurate near field psec pulsewidth diagnostic equipment, sees also Fig. 3~Fig. 6.When Fig. 3 stablizes for clapping a watt laser system hold mode, one group of test data of the tested light beam that accurate near field psec pulsewidth diagnostic equipment obtains, profile line has reflected the time-intensity distribution function on the horizontal direction.In 3 test results, the pulse-width data on the horizontal direction has consistance, and the accurate near field distribution on the vertical direction also remains unchanged, on-line testing stability RMSE<3% of this accurate near field pulsewidth diagnostic equipment.In one group of test data of Fig. 4, clap the compression grating of watt laser system without any change, but variation has taken place in the pulse-width data on the horizontal direction in 3 test results.According to the accurate near field analytic function of this pulsewidth diagnostic equipment, violent variation has appearred in the locus-light intensity that can observe on the vertical direction, and namely variation has appearred in the near field distribution of measured pulse.In conjunction with the concrete structure of clapping watt laser system, further search failure cause, be because the gas leakage of vacuum compression chamber causes measured pulse to produce ionisation effect after measuring with the puncture of the focal plane position in contracting beam system air, influenced near field distribution.In one group of test data of Fig. 5, clap the compression grating of watt laser system also without any change, but the pulse-width data on the horizontal direction is changing also in 3 test results, and the accurate near field distribution of pulsewidth diagnostic equipment is also in synchronous variation.Find through further checking, in this measuring process, the vacuum compression chamber situation of not leaking gas, but damage has taken place in the rete of the sampling mirror of measured pulse, causes the near field distribution of measured pulse constantly to change.In one group of test data of Fig. 6, the compression grating of clapping watt laser system has carried out certain adjusting.In 3 test results, variation has taken place in pulse-width data on the horizontal direction, and the accurate near field distribution of in the vertical direction remains unchanged.The vacuum compression chamber situation of not leaking gas in this process, the rete of the sampling mirror of measured pulse is not damaged yet.Therefore measurement result is accurately, reliably.
