Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of light field control technology, in particular to a light field control technology that simultaneously realizes dual-frequency different diffraction functions, and specifically to a light field control device that simultaneously realizes dual-frequency different diffraction functions. Background Art

[0002] Spatially structured light fields refer to light fields whose degrees of freedom, such as polarization, phase, and amplitude, are spatially distributed. Actively controlling the degrees of freedom of light in the spatial domain not only creates various new types of light fields, but also discovers a series of new phenomena and new effects, thereby developing new technologies and giving birth to new applications, making light field control one of the international frontier hotspots. After years of vigorous development, spatially structured light fields have made significant progress in generation, control, and application, especially in generation. Existing experimental techniques can create a rich variety of spatially structured light fields. Breakthroughs have also been made in nonlinear light field control. Metasurfaces and nonlinear photonic crystals can achieve light field control while performing nonlinear conversions. The birth of three-dimensional nonlinear photonic crystals has further improved the efficiency of nonlinear light field control.

[0003] Nonlinear crystals commonly used in the optical field include LiNbO 3 、LiTaO 3 and KTP crystals. In these crystals, there is a phenomenon of spontaneous polarization. The regions with the same polarization direction are called ferroelectric domains. Ferroelectric domains have two opposite polarization directions. The change of polarization direction is accompanied by the second-order nonlinear coefficient χ (2) The change of sign, the pyroelectric field generated by the applied electric field or the quenching process can reverse the direction of the ferroelectric domain. Femtosecond laser processing technology provides a flexible way to prepare three-dimensional nonlinear photonic crystals. It can control the ferroelectric domain at any position and erase part of the second-order nonlinear coefficient of the nonlinear crystal. At the same time, it will inevitably cause the refractive index to change, which has the advantages of low thermal effect and high resolution. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention proposes a light field control device that can simultaneously realize dual-frequency different diffraction functions, and combines laser processing technology and vacuum quenching technology to process lithium niobate crystal, so that the fundamental frequency light and the doubled frequency light can respectively realize light field control with different functions.

[0005] The present invention solves the above problems by the following technical means:

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a light field control device that simultaneously realizes dual-frequency different diffraction functions, wherein the device combines a laser processing process and a vacuum quenching process to process a lithium niobate crystal;

[0007] Laser processing technology erases the nonlinear coefficient of lithium niobate crystal and changes the refractive index at the same time;

[0008] The vacuum quenching process generates a pyroelectric field to polarize the ferroelectric domains of the lithium niobate crystal, changing the sign of the nonlinear coefficient without affecting the refractive index.

[0009] The grating arrays processed by these two processes are perpendicular to each other and nested together, and based on the changes in refractive index and nonlinear coefficient, the fundamental frequency light field is subjected to one-dimensional linear diffraction and two-dimensional nonlinear diffraction respectively;

[0010] Since the structures formed by the change of refractive index and the change of nonlinear coefficient are different, the fundamental frequency light and the doubled frequency light can respectively realize light field regulation with different functions.

[0011] Preferably, the lines of the ferroelectric domain erasing region of the device are along the y direction, forming a grating array structure expressed by the formula:

[0012] f(x,y,z)=T[cos(G x x)]×T[cos(G y y)] (1)

[0014]

[0015] The laser processing technology erases the ferroelectric domain of the crystal, causing the change of the second-order nonlinear coefficient of the crystal Δχ (2) and the refractive index change Δn, the laser processed linear and nonlinear grating arrays are expressed as:

[0016] n(x,y,z)=n 0 -Δnf(x,y,z) (3)

[0017]

[0018] Where n 0 and Represents the original refractive index and nonlinear coefficient of lithium niobate crystal;

The vacuum quenching process produces a pyroelectric field polarizing the crystal ferroelectric domain in the opposite direction to the spontaneous polarization of the crystal, changing the sign of the nonlinear coefficient without affecting the refractive index. The nonlinear grating array is expressed as:

[0023] Therefore, the linear grating of the device is expressed by formula (3), which can linearly diffract the fundamental wave so that the fundamental wave is distributed in one dimension along the z direction; the nonlinear grating of the device is processed by laser processing and vacuum quenching process, which is expressed as:

[0024]

[0025] The nonlinear grating performs two-dimensional nonlinear diffraction on the fundamental wave along the y direction and the z direction. It can be seen that the light field control achieved by linear diffraction and nonlinear diffraction is not the same, and different light field control functions of the fundamental wave and the doubled frequency can be achieved.

After passing through the first half-wave plate, the polarization changes to be along the x direction. After passing through the first objective lens, the laser light is focused onto a magnesium-doped lithium niobate crystal. The lithium niobate crystal is placed on a three-dimensional nano-translation stage. The stroke of the three-dimensional nano-translation stage is controlled by a computer to process the laser light into a grating array along the z direction, and then into a grating array along the y direction.

[0031] The laser processed lithium niobate crystal is placed on a vacuum temperature control platform, and the lithium niobate crystal is slowly heated to 180-220°C, then evacuated, and then quickly cooled to room temperature. During the cooling process, a pyroelectric field opposite to the spontaneous polarization direction is generated, which will induce the ferroelectric domain to reverse along the z direction from the position of the z-direction line processed by the laser. The illumination light source illuminates the crystal, and the orthogonal first polarizer and second polarizer are placed above and below the lithium niobate crystal, respectively, to ensure that only the laser processing area and the domain reversal area are illuminated, and then magnified by the second objective lens, and finally collected by the CCD to achieve real-time observation of the domain structure of the lithium niobate crystal.

[0032] Preferably, the first laser emits laser light with a wavelength of 800 nm, a pulse width of 34 fs and a repetition frequency of 1 kHz along the optical axis z direction.

[0033] Preferably, the laser processing subsystem further comprises an optical shutter, which is arranged between the first laser and the gradient attenuation plate and is used to control the opening and closing of the laser.

[0034] In a third aspect, the present invention provides a light field control system for realizing dual-frequency different diffraction functions at the same time, comprising the light field control device for realizing dual-frequency different diffraction functions at the same time, and also comprising a second laser, a second half-wave plate, a polarization beam splitter, a third half-wave plate and a lens;

[0035] The second laser emits laser along the x direction, controls the energy of the laser through the second half-wave plate and the polarization beam splitter, and then makes the polarization direction of the laser along the z direction through the third half-wave plate. Finally, it is focused by the lens and hits the light field control device that realizes the dual-frequency different diffraction function at the same time. The emitted fundamental frequency light field realizes one-dimensional diffraction; the fundamental wave is filtered out to observe the doubled frequency light field to realize two-dimensional diffraction.

[0036] Preferably, the second laser emits laser light with a wavelength of 800 nm, a pulse width of 140 fs, a repetition frequency of 80 MHz and a power of 400 mW along the x direction.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention include at least:

[0038] The present invention combines the laser processing technology and the vacuum quenching technology to process the lithium niobate crystal. The femtosecond laser erases the nonlinear coefficient of the lithium niobate crystal and changes the refractive index at the same time. The vacuum quenching process generates a pyroelectric field to polarize the ferroelectric domain of the lithium niobate crystal, changing the sign of the nonlinear coefficient without affecting the refractive index. The grating arrays processed by these two processes are perpendicular to each other and nested together. Based on the changes in the refractive index and the nonlinear coefficient, the fundamental frequency light field can be subjected to one-dimensional linear diffraction and two-dimensional nonlinear diffraction, respectively. Since the structures formed by the change in the refractive index and the change in the nonlinear coefficient are different, the fundamental frequency light and the doubled frequency light can respectively realize light field regulation with different functions.

[0047] Example 1

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a light field control device that can simultaneously realize dual-frequency different diffraction functions. The device combines femtosecond laser processing technology and vacuum quenching technology to process lithium niobate crystals.

[0049] Femtosecond laser processing erases the nonlinear coefficients of lithium niobate crystals and changes the refractive index at the same time.

[0050] The vacuum quenching process generates a pyroelectric field to polarize the ferroelectric domains of the lithium niobate crystal, changing the sign of the nonlinear coefficient without affecting the refractive index.

[0051] The grating arrays processed by these two processes are perpendicular to each other and nested together. Based on the changes in the refractive index and the nonlinear coefficient, the fundamental frequency light field can be subjected to one-dimensional linear diffraction and two-dimensional nonlinear diffraction respectively.

[0052] Since the structures formed by the change of refractive index and the change of nonlinear coefficient are different, the fundamental frequency light and the doubled frequency light can respectively realize light field regulation with different functions.

[0053] This embodiment provides a light field control device that can realize dual-frequency and different diffraction functions at the same time. The device processing structure is as follows: Figure 1 (a) is shown. The light color is the ferroelectric domain erased area, and the lines are along the y direction, forming a grating array structure that can be expressed by the formula:

[0054] f(x,y,z)=T[cos(G x x)]×T[cos(G y y)] (1)

[0055] The spatial frequency G x =2π / Λ x , G y =2π / Λy , Λ x ,Λ y are the grating periods in the x and y directions in the rectangular coordinate system respectively; T is a binary function, which can be expressed as follows for any value of Z:

[0056]

[0057] Laser processing technology erases the ferroelectric domain of the crystal, causing a change in the second-order nonlinear coefficient of the crystal Δχ (2) and the refractive index change Δn, the linear and nonlinear grating arrays processed by femtosecond laser are expressed as:

[0058] n(x,y,z)=n 0 -Δnf(x,y,z) (3)

[0059]

[0060] Where n 0 and It represents the original refractive index and nonlinear coefficient of lithium niobate crystal; the dark color is the ferroelectric domain polarization area, and the lines are along the z direction, forming a grating array structure that can be expressed by the formula:

[0061]

[0062] Among them, the spatial frequency G z =2π / Λ z , Λ z They are the grating period in the z direction in the rectangular coordinate system. The vacuum quenching process produces a pyroelectric field that is opposite to the spontaneous polarization direction of the crystal to polarize the ferroelectric domain of the crystal, changing the sign of the nonlinear coefficient without affecting the refractive index. The nonlinear grating array can be expressed as:

[0063]

[0064] Therefore, the linear grating of the device can be expressed by formula (3), as follows: Figure 1 As shown in (b), the fundamental wave can be linearly diffracted so that the fundamental wave is distributed in one dimension along the z direction. The nonlinear grating of the device is processed by femtosecond laser and vacuum quenching process, which can be expressed as:

[0065]

[0066] The nonlinear grating performs two-dimensional nonlinear diffraction on the fundamental wave along the y and z directions, such as Figure 1 As shown in (c), it can be seen that the light field control achieved by linear diffraction and nonlinear diffraction is different, and different light field control functions of fundamental wave and double frequency can be achieved.

[0067] Example 2

[0070] Laser erasure Figure 2 As shown in (a), the first laser emits a laser with a wavelength of 800nm, a pulse width of 34fs, and a repetition frequency of 1kHz along the z direction (optical axis direction). The opening and closing of the laser is controlled by an optical shutter, and the energy of the laser is controlled by a gradient attenuation plate to compensate for the energy in the depth of the laser processing. After passing through the first half-wave plate, the polarization is changed to be along the x direction. After the laser passes through the first objective lens with a numerical aperture of 0.75, it is focused onto a 5% magnesium-doped lithium niobate crystal. The lithium niobate crystal is placed on a three-dimensional nano-translation stage, and the computer (Labview software) is used to control the travel of the three-dimensional nano-translation stage, so that the laser processing can produce the following Figure 2 (a) Gray line structure in lithium niobate crystal. The line length along the z direction is 50 microns, with a period of Λ x is 12 microns, Λ y The length of the line along the y direction is 100 microns, and the period is Λ x is 12 microns, Λ z The actual laser processing structure on the yoz plane is as follows Figure 2 As shown in the dashed area in (b), on the xoy plane Figure 2 (c) is shown in the dashed area.

[0071] The vacuum quenching process subsystem includes a vacuum temperature control platform, an illumination light source, a first polarizer, a second polarizer, a second objective lens and a CCD.

[0072] Figure 2 The device shown in (d) is used to quench the laser-processed lithium niobate crystal under vacuum and observe its ferroelectric domain in real time. The laser-processed lithium niobate crystal is placed on a vacuum temperature control platform, slowly heated to 180-220°C, then evacuated, and then cooled to room temperature at a rate of 30°C / min. During the cooling process, a pyroelectric field opposite to the spontaneous polarization direction is generated, which will induce the ferroelectric domain to reverse along the z direction from the position of the z-direction line processed by the femtosecond laser. Figure 2(d) The dark lines in the lithium niobate crystal are the polarization lines of the ferroelectric domain. The illumination light source illuminates the crystal, and the orthogonal first and second polarizers are placed above and below the lithium niobate crystal, respectively, to ensure that only the laser processing area and the domain inversion area can be illuminated, and then magnified by the second objective lens with an NA of 0.25, and finally collected by the CCD, to achieve real-time observation of the domain structure of the lithium niobate crystal. The ferroelectric domains after vacuum quenching are shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 (e) The dotted area is shown.

The second laser emits a laser with a wavelength of 800 nm, a pulse width of 140 fs, a repetition frequency of 80 MHz, and a power of 400 mW along the x direction. The energy of the laser is controlled by the second half-wave plate and the polarization beam splitter. The polarization direction of the laser is then made along the z direction by the third half-wave plate. Finally, the laser is focused by a lens with a focal length of 75 mm and hits the optical field control device (processing structure) that realizes the dual-frequency different diffraction functions at the same time. The emitted light field is shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown in (a), the fundamental frequency spot and the double frequency spot are superimposed together, where the red one is the fundamental frequency spot, which is diffracted in one dimension along the z direction. The fundamental wave is filtered out to observe the double frequency light field, as shown in Figure 4 As shown in (b), it presents two-dimensional diffraction in the yoz plane, and the period of the double frequency spot distribution is twice the period of the fundamental frequency spot.

[0076] The present invention combines the laser processing technology and the vacuum quenching technology to process the lithium niobate crystal. The femtosecond laser erases the nonlinear coefficient of the lithium niobate crystal and changes the refractive index at the same time. The vacuum quenching process generates a pyroelectric field to polarize the ferroelectric domain of the lithium niobate crystal, changing the sign of the nonlinear coefficient without affecting the refractive index. The grating arrays processed by these two processes are perpendicular to each other and nested together. Based on the changes in the refractive index and the nonlinear coefficient, the fundamental frequency light field can be subjected to one-dimensional linear diffraction and two-dimensional nonlinear diffraction, respectively. Since the structures formed by the change in the refractive index and the change in the nonlinear coefficient are different, the fundamental frequency light and the doubled frequency light can respectively realize light field regulation with different functions.
