Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of laser precision processing, and in particular to an ultrafast laser parallel processing system. Background Art
[0002] There are many methods for preparing micro-nano structures on the surface of materials, such as photolithography, nanoimprinting, electron beam etching, laser processing, etc. Femtosecond laser micromachining is a processing technology that can form microstructures on almost any surface without a mask, and it has high processing accuracy, can process a large area, can achieve three-dimensional processing, can be processed on almost any material, and has almost all the advantages of other processing methods.
[0003] There are two main types of existing femtosecond laser processing systems. One is that a femtosecond beam generation module generates a femtosecond laser, which is focused on the surface of the workpiece through a reflector, a spatial mask, a lens, etc. The workpiece is placed on a translation stage that can perform XYZ three-dimensional movement. The focus is aligned by moving the translation stage up and down. By performing two-dimensional XY movement and Z-axis stepping, the processing of different three-dimensional spatial positions is achieved through linkage with the femtosecond beam generation module. The advantages of this processing scheme are high accuracy and repeatability, which is suitable for scientific research and convenient for modulating and converting light. However, the problem is that the processing efficiency is too low, and its laser utilization rate is very low, and the processing area is very limited. Although there are commercial systems based on this architecture, due to its high processing cost, it is currently widely used in the scientific research field of universities and basically does not have the ability for industrial processing.
[0004] Another laser processing system is a femtosecond laser generated by a femtosecond beam generation module. After passing through a reflector and a spatial mask, it passes through a pair of orthogonal galvanometers and is focused on the upper surface of the workpiece by a field lens. The workpiece is placed on a Z-axis translation stage and the focus is aligned by Z-axis movement. After the light beam passes through the orthogonal galvanometer, if the galvanometer is deflected, the laser angle is deflected, and finally the field lens is focused on different positions. Through the linkage of the orthogonal galvanometer and the beam generation module, any two-dimensional graphics can be processed. By introducing the Z-axis linkage of the workpiece, processing in three-dimensional space can be achieved. Since the galvanometer can vibrate at high speed, the focused light moves very fast, usually exceeding 1m / s, which is much greater than the general displacement system. The processing efficiency is significantly improved, and the time and money costs are reduced. Therefore, this solution is more common in the field of femtosecond laser industrialization, but the problem is that the single processing format is small, and an additional XY splicing axis needs to be introduced to achieve splicing processing. Although its processing efficiency is greatly improved, compared with the processing methods of photolithography and traditional mechanical processing, its efficiency is obviously much lower, and there is still room for further improvement.
[0005] In summary, the current processing cost of femtosecond laser-dedicated processing systems is relatively high, and it takes a long time to process large-area workpieces, making it impossible to achieve automated, low-cost, large-scale production in a short period of time.
