摘要:
针对高能激光器出光过程中出现的大量离焦和0°像散低阶像差现象,提出了基于哈特曼波前传感器和二维整形光路的
XY 离焦像差校正方法。首先,通过对Zernike多项式的离焦项和0°像散项进行线性组合得到XY 离焦像差的表达式,该XY 离焦像差系数的大小可直接表征X 离焦和Y 离焦的波前PV值。同时,通过微调高能激光器中二维整形光路中的镜子间距,可实现激光器输出光束XY 离焦波面的补偿。因此,首先利用哈特曼波前传感器提取出光束的XY 离焦像差系数大小,而后再根据XY 离焦像差系数的大小实时闭环微调二维整形光路中的镜子间距,从而实现XY 离焦像差的校正,改善输出光束的光束质量。实验结果表明,该方法可有效地将高能激光器输出光束XY 离焦量的PV值由5.2 μm和1.1 μm校正到0.5 μm以下,相应的光束质量β 因子由3.1降到1.8,光束质量得到明显改善。Abstract:A method for correcting
XY defocus aberrations, based on Hartmann-Shack wavefront sensor and two-dimensional beam-shaping light path, was presented due to the large percentage of defocus and 0° astigmatism aberrations with large PV values in high-energy laser beam. The first step is to derive an expression forXY defocus aberrations by linearly combining the defocus and 0° astigmatism terms of Zernike polynomials. The coefficients directly characterize the wavefront peak-to-valley (PV) values ofX andY defocus. At the same time, compensation forXY defocus wavefronts of the laser beam can be achieved by fine-tuning the mirror spacing in the two-dimensional shaping optics of the high-energy laser. Therefore, the Hartmann wavefront sensor is used to extract the coefficients ofXY defocus aberrations from the laser beam. The computer dynamically adjusts the mirror spacing in the two-dimensional shaping optics based on these coefficient values to correctXY defocus aberrations and improve the beam quality of the output laser beam. The results of the experiment showcase a significant decrease in PV value ofXY defocus aberrations from 5.2 μm and 1.1 μm to less than 0.5 μm, as well as a decrease inβ factor from 3.1 to 1.8, resulting in substantial improvement in beam quality.-
