Method for realizing Gaussian beam shaping and determining average radius of serrated aperture with random radius

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for realizing Gaussian beam shaping and determining average radius of a serrated aperture with random radius and belongs to the field of laser. The method comprises the following steps of: determining the radius r of the aperture, namely r=a*(1+a1*rand(theta)), wherein a is average radius and equal to 0.001 to 0.003 m and a1 is modulation depth and equal to 0.05; manufacturing the apertures with different average radiuses; performing tests and calculating characteristic parameters such as the filling factor, the modulation intensity and the optical intensity contrast; and determining the optimal average radius, wherein the obtained a is 60 percent of the width of the incident Gaussian beam. Compared with the traditional amplitude modulation ripple serrated aperture, the serrated aperture with the radius randomly changed along with the change of the angle is used together with a space filter, so that the radial beam filling factor is improved and the modulation intensity is reduced. The method can be widely applied to beam shaping and light intensity homogenization of a laser. By the method, the high filling factor can be achieved and the utilization ratio, the stability and the output power of the energy storage substances of the laser can be improved obviously.

Background technique [0002] In the beam intensity distribution of practically applied lasers, it is Gaussian or near-Gaussian in many cases, and there are few ideal plane waves. However, the light intensity of the Gaussian distribution will gradually weaken with the increase of the radius, and the energy less than a...
