Problems solved by technology

Since the laser is on the order of nanoseconds, it is difficult for existing measurement methods to accurately measure the time difference between multiple lasers
[0004] 2. After measuring the time difference in the existing technology, the time difference of the driving pulse is compensated. After the driving pulse is isolated and amplified, it acts on the laser working substance to generate laser light. This is an open-loop process, which is easily disturbed, and the whole process exists The device is delayed, and the laser after compensation is still not fully synchronized
Since the duration of the laser is mostly on the order of ns, it is very difficult to debug and the anti-interference ability is poor to measure the time difference and use it to feedback control the optical device and compensate the optical path difference.

Embodiment 1

[0030] Such as figure 1 As shown, a non-phase measurement automatic synchronization method for passive coherent combining lasers, including the following steps:

[0031] Step 1. Simultaneously collect multiple laser optical signals and convert the laser optical signals into laser electrical signals, including but not limited to photodiodes, photoelectric sensors, etc. The main purpose is to convert optical signals into electrical signals for subsequent acquisition of optical signals. The timing of the signal. Step 1 also includes subsequent processing of converting the optical signal into an electrical signal, such as noise reduction, filtering, amplification, etc.;

[0032] Use a single-chip microcomputer or other processors to collect multiple laser electrical signals. The first acquired laser electrical signal is set as the reference laser electrical signal, and the other laser electrical signals are used as the laser electrical signals to be corrected.

Embodiment 2

[0046] Such as figure 2 As shown, an automatic synchronization method includes the following steps:

[0047] Step 1 is the same as Step 1 in Example 1.

[0048] Step 2, replacing the laser power drive signal to be corrected and the reference laser power drive signal in step 2 of embodiment 1 with the Q-switched pulse signal to be corrected and the reference Q-switched pulse signal respectively,

[0049] In addition, in step 2.3, the adjusted Q-switched pulse signal to be corrected and the reference Q-switched pulse signal respectively drive the corresponding Q-switched crystal of the laser to be corrected and the Q-switched crystal of the reference laser.

[0050] Algorithms are used to correct the Q-modulated pulse signal. In some Q-switched lasers, although the driving pulses generated by the driving power supply are not synchronized, due to the existence of the Q-switched crystal, the synchronization of the output laser can still be controlled by controlling the opening ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a non-phase measurement automatic synchronization method for a passive coherent synthesis laser. The method comprises the steps of: collecting multiple paths of laser optical signals at the same time, and converting the laser optical signals into laser electric signals; and taking the laser electric signals collected firstly as reference laser electric signals, taking other laser electric signals as to-be-corrected laser electric signals, and adjusting the to-be-corrected laser electric signals according to a lead or lag relation between the to-be-corrected laser electric signals and the reference laser electric signals. The method is suitable for passive coherent combination of two paths or multiple paths of lasers, non-phase measurement is achieved, namely, the phase (time) difference of multiple paths of lasers is not measured, and synchronization is automatically achieved by conducting electric-electric closed-loop control on the whole laser system.
