Description

A kind of device of separation by laser processing optical crystal
Technical field
The invention belongs to the laser processing application technical field, be specifically related to a kind of device of separation by laser processing transparent optical crystal, the method is particularly suitable for the optical crystal blank that polished without specialty.
Background technology
Transparent optical crystal, KDP such as phosphoric acid salt, DKDP, potassium titanium oxide phosphate (KTP), three lithium borate LiB3O5 (LBO), also has LiNbO3 (LN), KNbO3 (KN), potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP), phosphoric acid dihydro amine, the crystal such as BaTiO3 and Gd (MoO4) 3 are considered to good electrooptical material for a long time always, in photoelectron technology, be widely used, be frequency multiplication part in the high power driver and the important materials of electro-optical device, aspect nonlinear optics, be widely used in the frequency multiplication of light always, and frequently, difference frequency and mixing etc.Especially KDP and DKDP are standby valued functional crystals the earliest always, and seeing through wave band is 178nm~1.45 μ m, and it is brilliant to belong to the negative optics single shaft, its nonlinear optical coefficients Chang Zuowei standard and the comparison of other crystal.The KDP crystal can realize that not only two, three, four times of frequencys multiplication and dye laser realize that frequency multiplication but also it can also make Q-switch.Particularly superpower laser in the application side of controlled thermonuclear reaction, nuclear blast simulation and, large scale KDP is the only double-frequency material that has adopted, its conversion efficiency is up to more than 80%.Though there is new material to occur, the combination property of especially big crystal is still take KDP as optimum.Demand large scale, high-quality KDP optical crystal are the task of top priority that China develops the work of nuclear power generation unit voluntarily.

Adopt laser that the transparent optical crystal is carried out thermal release processing and have the advantage of noncontact, friction, machinery-free stress, but directly utilize laser that optical crystal is separated processing, especially surperficial scraggly Optical Crystal Processing can be brought following problem:
1, directly utilize Laser Focusing to separate to transparent optical plane of crystal or inside and add man-hour, owing to some transparent optical crystal (such as the KDP crystal) easily deliquescence affect laser transmittance, cause the uniformity extreme difference of absorption of crystal laser energy.In addition, the rough and uneven in surface Laser Transmission direction that incides optical crystal that also can have a strong impact on of the plane of incidence of optical crystal.Therefore must be smooth through the high accuracy polishing to optical crystal to be processed before the separation by laser processing, to satisfy the conforming requirement of high laser transmittance, uniformity and direction.But anisotropy, matter are soft to having, the high optical crystal of fragility carries out loaded down with trivial details, the complicated and work consuming consuming time of the smooth not only program of high accuracy polishing, and very easily chipping in the polishing formation process, and also to carry out again stock removal polishing after separating processing, increase undoubtedly the difficulty of processing of optical crystal.
2, LASER HEAT is separated the finedraw that processing transparent optical crystal produces and can the optical crystal refractive index be changed because air enters, cause that the laser beam transmission direction changes, the laser energy that not only dissipated causes and separates that the degree of depth shoals but also the laser energy that is refracted is absorbed by optical crystal and cause optical crystal to burst, and it is out of control and damage to cause separating machine direction.
The heat that produces when 3, LASER HEAT is separated processing transparent optical crystal can be that separating opening end face material temperature is too high and change the optical property of its optical crystal, and also can cause end face slightly degree of making increase.

Description of drawings
Fig. 1 is the principle schematic of masking liquid method separation by laser processing optical crystal;
Fig. 2 is masking liquid method separation by laser processing optical crystal unit schematic diagram.
The specific embodiment
Operation principle of the present invention is simply to roughly grind along the track of separation by laser processing optical crystal to wipe polishing, the hydrolysis atomizing layer on top layer and impurity is removed clean, has formed a width greater than the transparent track of laser beam incident spot diameter.Then on transparent track, evenly smear the saturated solution that one deck has certain thickness identical optical crystalline material.This solution can form more smooth plane at upper surface under gravity and capillary effect.When laser vertical is injected this flat transparent solution top layer, almost all enter solution inside and arrive solution lower surface, ie in solution and crystal interface without deviation ground.Because the refractive index of saturation optics crystal is close with the refractive index of optical crystal material own, and incidence angle is very little, according to following fresnel formula as can be known:
r = ( nl · cos α - n 2 · cos β ) nl · cos α + n 2 · cos β
(in the formula, r is reflectance factor, and n1 is the solution refractive index, and n2 is crystal refractive index, and α is incidence angle, and β is the angle of emergence) its reflectance factor is almost nil.Among all laser is directly injected optical crystal material from saturation optics crystalloid solution and optical crystal boundary face diameter.Therefore, the effect that optics crystal saturated solution has played a transition zone that is coated with, its function is equivalent to an optical crystal surface that the high accuracy polishing is smooth, the crystalline material that the incoming laser beam segregation-free is entered surface irregularity is inner, improve the laser utilization ratio, reduced significantly the requirement to the smooth flatness of plane of crystal.
Optical crystal material is separated in the process of processing at laser, in case the crystalline material surface begins to form the separation finedraw, under action of gravitation, saturated solution will infiltrate finedraw and finedraw is filled up, the close solution of refractive index and crystalline material are combined together again, elimination changes the caused light intensity of Laser Transmission direction and dissipates because air is different with the optical crystal refractive index, keep the former direction of laser to continue transmission downwards, constantly increase and separate working depth, and also can not cause crystal to burst out of control with detaching direction owing to come back reflective and the refraction between the finedraw inwall when separating the optical crystal of processing.
Because the solubility of optical crystal in water sharply increases along with the rising of temperature, causes the solution at laser spot place that optical crystal to be processed is had very strong erosiveness.Under the double action of separation by laser processing itself and solution erosion; separating process velocity significantly improves; separate machined surface than directly processing is much smooth with laser; and the solution at laser spot place is treated a worked crystal separation processing mouthful end face and is had cooling effect, has protected preferably original optical property of minute gap place crystalline material.

When laser 4 is vertically injected this flat transparent solution top layer 5, almost all enter solution inside and arrive solution lower surface, ie in solution and crystal interface 2 without deviation ground.Because the refractive index of saturation optics crystal is close with the refractive index of optical crystal material own, all incoming laser beams 4 directly enter laser beam 6 among the optics crystal 1 by the brilliant solution 3 of saturation optics and 2 power shots of crystal interface, thereby eliminate the problem that give birth to because of deliquescence and finedraw rough and uneven in surface and that produce in the separation by laser process and excess Temperature on the optical crystal surface.
3, adopt laser to scan separation processing along the track of optical crystal saturated solution.
After laser scanning, produce the separation finedraw at optical crystal, can make the saturated solution that is coated on the plane of crystal under gravity and the effect of pore power, penetrate into laser and optical crystal interaction area along finedraw, and finedraw filled up, the laser power that the separation by laser machining is needed reduces (can reduce laser power 20% to 30%), the parting surface quality improves, and separating rate increases, and Success rate of virus isolation significantly rises.
