Problems solved by technology

However, to limit injection and propagation losses in such components, it is preferable to inject the light energy into each fiber separately, which makes the injection complex and expensive
Furthermore, it is necessary to have an optical focusing system with a large aperture at the output of the component, which makes the optical system complex, expensive and bulky

Embodiment Construction

[0065] In this specification, of interest is the generation of high peak power pulses, suitable for generating laser shocks in materials.

[0066] The interaction of high illumination pulses (light power delivered per unit area) (typically on the order of millions of watts per square centimeter) with the material causes sudden heating of the illuminated surface and vaporization of this illuminated surface in the form of a plasma, a plasma And then relax. This is called laser shock. Laser shock is a mechanism in which the light / material interaction time is very short (typically tens of nanoseconds), so that, as with laser cutting or laser welding methods, there is no appreciable increase in the temperature of the part to be processed. Using a constrained layer can facilitate laser shock in one direction. Specifically, in the absence of a constrained layer, the spreading of the laser shock occurs in the range of 4π steradians.

[0067] More precisely, in the case of laser sho...

Abstract

According to one aspect, the present disclosure relates to a system (10) for generating high peak power laser pulses comprising at least a first light source (101) for emitting first laser pulses (IL), a fibre device (110) for carrying said first laser pulses, comprising at least a first multimode fibre with a single core arranged to receive said first laser pulses, and a module (102) for temporalshaping of said first laser pulses, arranged upstream of the fibre device and configured to decrease the power spectral density of the pulses by reducing time coherence.

Description

technical field [0001] This specification relates to methods and systems for generating high peak power laser pulses for laser shock purposes. This specification applies in particular to laser shock peening, laser shock spectroscopy, laser-based ultrasound generation or laser cleaning of components. Background technique [0002] Laser shock-based surface treatment applications (i.e., involving the formation of plasmas) require pulses with very high peak powers (typically on the order of 10 megawatts (MW) or more), that is, typically require pulses of duration On the order of tens of nanoseconds or less and with energies greater than about one hundred millijoules. These pulses are typically concentrated over an area of ​​a few square millimeters, making it possible to achieve energy densities of tens of joules per square centimeter for forming laser shocks. These applications include, for example, laser shock spectroscopy, laser cleaning, laser-based ultrasound generation (...
