Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, for direct liquid-cooled laser devices, the flowing liquid will affect the laser transmission. At the same time, due to the large thermo-optic coefficient (dn / dT) of the liquid, the uneven flow rate will make the heat distribution of the liquid uneven, which will eventually lead to a large thermal induction of the liquid. Wavefront distortion, and most of the wavefront distortion introduced by the liquid is a high-order component in the time domain and space domain, which will seriously affect the beam quality of the direct liquid-cooled laser device

Abstract

The invention discloses a direct liquid cooling laser gain device based on a split type flow channel. The device comprises a device outer frame, a device inner frame, a crystal barrier strip, an incoming flow guide cone, a homogenizing grid, a micro-channel separation strip, a dissipation section crystal, a light transmission window, a laser gain crystal, a recovery section crystal and an outflowcone. Cooling liquid flows into the device outer frame after being shunted by an in-cone flow guide plate in the incoming flow guide cone, and enters the device inner frame after being homogenized bythe homogenizing grid. In a micro-channel of the inner frame, turbulent flow is further dissipated by flowing through a dissipation section crystal area firstly, the speed uniformity of liquid reaching the gain crystal in the spanwise direction is guaranteed, and the liquid flows out of the device inner frame after passing through the recovery section crystal. A small amount of liquid flows out through a gap between the inner frame and the outer frame of the device and is used for cooling the laser light transmission window. All liquid flows out of the device after being converged at the outflow cone. The device is compact and small in structure, and the flow velocity of liquid passing through the gain medium can be uniform.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of high-energy lasers, in particular to a direct liquid-cooled laser gain device based on split flow channels. Background technique [0002] High-power solid-state lasers are widely used in industry, medical treatment, scientific research, national defense and other fields due to their advantages of large output energy, high peak power, high reliability and long service life. With the increasing demand for lasers in industrial processing, military defense and other fields, higher requirements are put forward for the power, beam quality, volume and weight of lasers. Conventional solid-state laser structures, such as thin-film lasers and slab lasers, have been difficult to meet new requirements in terms of power-to-volume (weight) ratio. Thermal management is a key factor affecting laser power, efficiency, and volumetric weight. With the increase of laser output power, the requirements for thermal management...
