Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of numerical simulation calculations of the interaction between laser and matter during the laser processing, and particularly relates to a parallelized simulation method for the nonlinear interaction between laser and matter. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of laser technology, the interaction between laser and matter has attracted people's attention. The interaction process between laser and matter is a nonlinear optical process, and these nonlinear optical processes affect the quality of laser processing. It is necessary to model and simulate it, and use the simulation results to guide the actual laser processing process.
[0003] In the current numerical simulation of the interaction between laser and matter, two common simulation methods are used. The first is to solve the nonlinear Schrödinger equation to simulate the transmission phenomenon of laser inside matter; the second is to use the finite-difference time-domain method to solve the Maxwell's equations to simulate the interaction between laser and matter with various complex structures and compositions.
[0004] When the interaction between laser and matter involves nonlinear optical effects, such as Kerr effect, multi-photon absorption, multi-photon ionization, avalanche ionization, etc., the nonlinear Schrödinger equation is generally used. Numerically solving the nonlinear Schrödinger equation has been successfully used in the simulation of filamentation and supercontinuum radiation phenomena of laser in free space, the simulation of nonlinear transmission of high-power laser in optical fiber media, and the simulation of the bulk processing process of femtosecond laser on dielectric materials such as quartz. In the field of laser processing, the nonlinear Schrödinger equation is usually used to simulate the transmission phenomenon of ultrafast laser inside homogeneous matter, and is rarely used in the simulation of the interaction between laser and matter with multiple interfaces and complex geometries.
[0005] Different from the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, the finite-difference time-domain method for solving the Maxwell's equations is one of the best numerical methods for solving electromagnetic field problems. In theory, it can simulate various complex material structures, and can accurately simulate the inhomogeneity, anisotropy, dispersion characteristics and nonlinear problems of matter. However, in fact, in the current simulation of the interaction between light and matter by using the finite-difference time-domain method (FDTD) to solve the Maxwell's equations, especially in the simulation related to laser processing, most of them do not consider the nonlinear optical effects of the interaction between laser and matter. In addition, in the first stage of the nonlinear optical process of the interaction between laser and matter described above, that is, the stages of multi-photon ionization and avalanche ionization, etc., in this stage, the laser will excite free electron plasma, and the generation of free electron plasma will then affect the light field by changing the optical properties of the material. They are a process of mutual influence and alternating occurrence over time. In the current process of using FDTD to solve the Maxwell's equations to simulate the interaction between laser and material, the alternating interaction process between light and matter is rarely considered.
[0006] In order to more precisely analyze the laser processing process and improve the laser processing quality, an improved algorithm needs to be proposed, which can comprehensively consider the nonlinear optical effects, the interaction between the optical field and the matter, and the influence of the inhomogeneous structure and the pre-existing surface structure on the interaction between the laser and the matter. Summary of the Invention
[0007] Aiming at the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a parallel simulation method for the nonlinear interaction between a laser and a matter. Multiple nonlinear optical effects involved in the interaction between the laser and the matter and the interaction effect between the optical field and the matter (specifically, the free electron plasma excited in the matter) are added to the Maxwell equations. The nonlinear optical effects are expressed through the nonlinear polarization intensity; the influence of the free electron plasma on the optical field is expressed through the Drude polarization intensity, and the influence of the optical field on the free electron plasma is expressed through the plasma rate equation. In specific operations, the curl equations of the electric field and the magnetic field in the Maxwell equations are retained and corrected, the nonlinear polarization intensity and the Drude polarization intensity are incorporated into the constitutive equation, and then the free electron plasma rate equation is introduced to construct a coupled system of equations composed of the above four differential equations. Using the anisotropic perfectly matched layer (UPML) as the absorbing boundary, the finite-difference time-domain method is used to solve the curl equations of the electric field and the magnetic field, the Newton iteration method is used to solve the constitutive equation, and the Runge-Kutta method is used to solve the free electron plasma rate equation to obtain the free electron plasma excited by the optical field. As time progresses, in each time step, the update iteration of the electric field strength E → magnetic field strength H → electric displacement vector D' → electric field strength E is realized. In particular, in the numerical simulation, during the process of using the Newton iteration method to solve the constitutive equation, matrix reconstruction of the physical quantities related to the optical field can be carried out to achieve parallel computing of multiple CPUs and multiple cores of the computer.
