DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the embodiments of the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0022] The following combination Figures 1-4 The thermal stress self-matching laser device of the present invention includes a pump light source 1, a resonant cavity 3, a gain medium 4, a stress adaptive heat sink 5, a power meter 6 and a processor 7.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the pump light source 1 is used to provide pump laser for the operation of the laser oscillator. The pump light source 1 can be an ultrashort pulse laser or a continuous laser. The present invention does not limit the type of the pump light source.

[0024] The resonant cavity 3 is arranged in the direction of the pump laser emission and includes an input lens 31 and an output lens 32 arranged opposite to each other, for oscillating the pump laser.

[0025] The gain medium 4 is disposed in the resonant cavity 3 and located between the input lens 31 and the output lens 32 , and is used to receive the pump laser and perform nonlinear frequency conversion to generate output laser.

[0026] The stress-adaptive heat sink 5 is disposed between the input lens 31 and the output lens 32. The gain medium 4 is located within the stress-adaptive heat sink 5, which holds the gain medium 4. The stress-adaptive heat sink 5 is used to dissipate heat and monitor and adjust the real-time stress applied to the gain medium 4. This application does not limit the method of applying stress; for example, stress can be applied via a diamond anvil or other fasteners.

[0027] The power meter 6 is located after the output lens 32 along the optical path and is used to measure the power of the output laser.

[0028] A stress threshold is preset within the processor 7. It will be appreciated that the stress that the gain medium 4 can withstand has been measured in advance and stored in the processor 7 as the stress threshold. The processor 7 is configured to receive the stress value of the gain medium 4 monitored by the stress-adaptive heat sink 5 and the power monitored by the power meter 6. Based on the power and the stress threshold stored within the processor, the processor controls the stress-adaptive heat sink 5 to adjust the stress value applied to the gain medium 4, ensuring that it remains below the stress threshold to protect the gain medium 4. This reduces the risk of thermally induced stress damage to the gain medium, achieves stress matching of the gain medium 4, and ensures that the output laser power meets preset magnitude and stability requirements.

[0029] It should be noted that in laser devices, stress changes in the gain medium 4 are affected by multiple factors, typically thermal effects, optical field effects, and mechanical constraints. In the above embodiment, the stress-adaptive heat sink 5 monitors the stress of the gain medium under various factors. However, the stress-adaptive heat sink 5 adjusts the stress caused by the mechanical constraints of the gain medium 4, specifically the stress value of the gain medium 4 under the mechanical constraints imposed by the stress-adaptive heat sink 5, thereby achieving real-time stress changes in the gain medium 4.

[0030] like Figure 2-4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the stress adaptive heat sink 5 includes at least two heat dissipation blocks 51 and one or more stress monitoring plates 52. Each of the heat dissipation blocks 51 is movably arranged to adjust the stress value applied to the gain medium 4; the stress monitoring plate 52 is used to monitor the stress value applied to the gain medium 4 by the heat dissipation block 51. The present invention does not limit the method of applying stress. For example, stress can be applied by a diamond anvil or by other fasteners.

[0031] It will be appreciated that in the above embodiments, stress monitoring sheet 52 typically monitors the local stress value experienced by gain medium 4, and heat sink 51 regulates the local mechanical stress value applied to gain medium 4, thereby causing a change in the real-time stress value of gain medium 4. The provision of multiple stress detection sheets 52 allows for monitoring the local stress values ​​experienced at different locations on gain medium 4, enabling targeted adjustments.

[0032] In the thermal stress self-matching laser device of the above embodiment, a stress-adaptive heat sink 5 is provided, and the gain medium 4 is disposed within at least two heat sinks 51. A stress monitoring plate 52 is provided to monitor the stress value of the gain medium 4 in one or more directions. By adjusting the position of the heat sink 51, the stress applied to the gain medium 4 can be changed and monitored in real time. At the same time, the power of the output laser is monitored in real time by a power meter 6, so that a high and stable power output is achieved within the stress threshold range while achieving a good cooling effect.

[0033] See again Figure 2-4 As shown, the stress adaptive heat sink 5 further includes a stress adjustment component 53 , which is used to adjust the stress applied by the heat dissipation block 51 to the gain medium 4 .

[0034] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 As shown, the stress monitoring piece 52 is arranged between the heat sink 51 and the gain medium 4. In this embodiment, stress can be applied to the heat sink 51 through the stress adjustment component 53, and the stress acts on the gain medium 4 through the stress monitoring piece 52.

[0035] In other embodiments, see Figure 3 As shown, the stress monitoring piece 52 is arranged between the stress adjustment component 53 and the heat sink 51. In this embodiment, stress can be applied to the stress monitoring piece 52 through the stress adjustment component 53, and the stress acts on the gain medium 4 through the heat sink 51.

[0036] In yet another embodiment, see Figure 4 As shown, the stress monitoring piece 52 is arranged between two adjacent heat dissipation blocks 51 , and after stress is applied to the two adjacent heat dissipation blocks 51 through the stress adjustment component 53 , the stress acts on the gain medium 4 .

[0037] See again Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the stress adjustment component 53 can also be used to connect two adjacent heat dissipation blocks 51 to make the overall enclosed structure more stable.

[0038] like Figure 3As shown, in some feasible embodiments of the present invention, a mounting slot is provided on the heat sink 51, and the stress adjustment assembly 53 includes an electric control nut 531 and an elastic member 532. The elastic member 532 is sleeved around the outer periphery of the electric control nut 531 and is disposed within the mounting slot to ensure stable installation of the elastic member 532. By adjusting the electric control nut 531, the stress applied by the heat sink 51 to the gain medium can be adjusted.

[0039] Some feasible embodiments of the present invention further include a shaping module 2, disposed between the pump light source 1 and the resonant cavity 3. Shaping module 2 is disposed in the optical path of the pump laser and is used to shape the pump light. Shaping module 2 may include a combination of convex lenses, concave lenses, and the specific structure of shaping module 2 is not limited by the present invention.

[0040] In some feasible embodiments of the present invention, a stress monitoring module 8 is further included, which is used to convert the deformation of the gain medium 4 into a stress signal, and further obtain the stress value of the gain medium 4.

[0041] It should be noted that in the above embodiment, the stress monitoring module 8 measures the stress value of the gain medium 4 as a whole. When subjected to stress, the gain medium 4 experiences birefringence, which affects the polarization state of light, resulting in a phase difference between the probe light and the detection light. These phase differences form interference fringes after passing through the analyzer. The stress distribution within the medium can be analyzed and calculated based on the density and direction of the interference fringes. The density of the interference fringes reflects the magnitude of the stress, while the direction of the fringes reflects the direction of the stress.

[0042] See again as 2- Figure 4 As shown, in some feasible embodiments of the present invention, an elastic protective sheet 9 is provided between the stress-adaptive heat sink 5 and the gain medium 4, and the elastic protective sheet 9 can protect the gain medium 4. In different embodiments, the elastic protective sheet 9 is provided between the gain medium 4 and the heat sink 51, or between the gain medium 4 and the stress monitoring sheet 52.

[0043] In some embodiments, the inner profile of the stress-adaptive heat sink 5 matches the outer shape of the gain medium 4. For example, if the gain medium 4 is a rectangular parallelepiped, the inner cross-section of the stress-adaptive heat sink 5 should be rectangular to enclose the gain medium 4 and enhance cooling. The present invention does not limit the number of heat sinks 51; for example, two or three heat sinks may be provided.

[0044] In some embodiments, the material of the stress monitoring piece 52 includes at least one of piezoelectric ceramic (PZT), zinc oxide, and aluminum nitride.

[0045] In the above embodiment, the heat sink 51 and the stress monitoring plate 52 can correspond one to one or one to many. To ensure accurate and convenient monitoring, one stress monitoring plate 52 can be provided for each heat sink 51. Preferably, stress monitoring plates 52 and heat sinks 51 can be provided in different directions of the gain medium 4. If the gain medium 4 is a regular polygon, a stress monitoring plate 52 and a heat sink 51 can be provided on each face to facilitate monitoring of stress in each direction and to adjust the stress applied to the heat sink 51 in that direction accordingly.

[0046] In the above embodiment, the heat sink 51 comprises at least two composite material layers (not shown) with different thermal expansion coefficients. The thermal expansion coefficients of the composite material layers are arranged to increase from the inside out. Dynamic matching of the thermal expansion coefficient with the gain medium 4 is achieved through a gradient design of the material composition. The heat sink 5 can be constructed of a gradient composite material composed of a metal matrix (e.g., copper) and ceramic particles (e.g., silicon carbide). The ceramic particle content gradually increases from the side closest to the gain medium toward the side away from the gain medium. This results in a gradient variation in the thermal expansion coefficient of the heat sink 51 from the inside out, dynamically compensating for the thermal expansion behavior of the gain medium 4 and reducing stress mismatch caused by temperature changes. The stress monitoring sheet 52 provides real-time feedback on the stress distribution in different regions of the gain medium 4. By combining the thermal-mechanical coupling properties of the gradient material, the stress adjustment component 53 applies differentiated pressure to the local heat sink, achieving precise compensation for uneven thermal stress.

[0047] The thermal stress self-matching laser device provided by the present invention uses a pump laser shaped by a shaping module 2 and then injected into a stress-adaptive heat sink 5. Mid-infrared laser light is generated through nonlinear frequency conversion and output through an output lens. This compact device automatically monitors and adjusts heat sink stress, addressing the issue of thermally induced stress damage to the gain medium in current mid-infrared pulsed laser heat sinks.

[0048] See also Figure 5 As shown, the present invention also provides a control method for a thermal stress self-matching laser device, which is used for a thermal stress self-matching laser device. The control method includes: S100: Setting a stress threshold in the processor.

[0049] S200 , the stress adaptive heat sink 5 monitors the real-time stress value borne by the gain medium 4 ; the power meter 6 detects the power value of the output laser.

[0050] S300 : The processor 7 compares the real-time stress value with the stress threshold to form a comparison result.

[0051] S400 , based on the comparison result, the processor 7 controls the stress adaptive heat sink 5 to adjust the stress value applied to the gain medium 4 until the power value reaches a preset range.

[0052] The control method of the thermal stress self-matching laser device of the present invention monitors the stress value of the gain medium 4 in one or more directions in real time through the stress adaptive heat sink 5 and then adjusts the position of the stress adaptive heat sink 5 to change and monitor the stress applied to the gain medium 4 in real time. At the same time, the power of the output laser is monitored in real time through the power meter 6, so that a good cooling effect is achieved within the stress threshold range while meeting the preset stress range and stable power output.

[0053] In some optional embodiments, in step S400, the stress value applied to the gain medium 4 by the heat sink 51 is monitored by the stress monitoring piece 52 in the stress adaptive heat sink 5, the monitored stress value is compared with the stress threshold, and the positions of different heat sinks 51 are adjusted respectively to adjust the stress values ​​applied to different positions of the gain medium 4, so that all stress values ​​are less than the stress threshold until the power value reaches a preset range and reaches a stable state.

[0054] In the above embodiment, by adjusting the positions of the plurality of heat dissipation blocks 51 , the stress of the gain medium 4 can be locally adjusted to achieve more precise control.
