Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of laser action evaluation, and in particular to a high-speed long-distance laser action effect evaluation system and method. Background Art

[0002] With the development of laser application technology, lasers can be widely used in remote defense, welding, cladding, additive manufacturing, foreign body removal (high-voltage line hanging objects, ice, pollutants, etc.) after integration with the launch system. In order to achieve remote and efficient evaluation of laser effect, an advanced laser effect evaluation system is designed based on spectrum and image recognition technology. The system can monitor in real time the changes in the physical structure and chemical properties of the target when it is irradiated by laser. Through this continuous monitoring, the system can evaluate the degree of laser effect on the target, optimize the laser action strategy, and decide whether to continue to project laser energy to a specific area. The system has broad application prospects for improving the working efficiency of remote laser equipment.

[0003] Utilize advanced laser effect evaluation technology to optimize the laser system response strategy, thereby reducing the power and irradiation time required for the laser to act on the target, thereby improving the working efficiency of the laser system. In the prior art, traditional damage assessment methods cannot be evaluated remotely and efficiently. For example, the invention patent application with publication number CN118351476A, publication date July 16, 2024, and invention name "Intelligent Damage Assessment Method, Device, Equipment, Medium and Program Product" reveals a method for evaluating target damage by traditional weapons. This method is based on a trained damage assessment model, and extracts features from target images and multiple sensor data to obtain damage assessment results. At the same time, these features can also be used to train damage assessment models. However, this system is mainly aimed at damage assessment of traditional weapons and is not suitable for real-time effect evaluation during laser irradiation. The invention patent application with publication number CN117213315A, publication date December 12, 2023, and invention name "A method for evaluating the effect of laser damage to drones combined with lightning" discloses a drone target damage effect evaluation technology, which automatically evaluates the damage by analyzing the changes in parameters such as the motion posture and amplitude dispersion coefficient when the target is hit, and obtains the final damage assessment result by fusing information from different sensors. However, this method is mainly used to determine whether the target is effectively shot down, and cannot provide specific information about the surface damage of the target or the effect of the material. The invention patent with publication number CN110926533B, publication date August 2, 2022, and invention name "Device and method for real-time measurement of multiple parameters in laser damage" discloses a device that can measure key parameters in the laser damage process in real time. The device includes a water-cooled integrating sphere, a high-speed camera, a spectrometer, and multiple sensor components, which can simultaneously measure the ablation mass loss rate, impulse coupling coefficient, ablation backsplash characteristics, and target damage morphology of the target. This method can provide multiple detailed key measurement data, but this measurement is mainly carried out on the ground and cannot demonstrate the characteristics of remote operation and high timeliness.

[0004] In view of the requirements of specific application scenarios, the laser effect evaluation system needs to conduct a more in-depth analysis of the material physical and chemical properties, internal structure and morphological changes of the distant target during the ablation process. At the same time, the system should also have the characteristics of fast response speed and long action distance. However, the current technical level has not yet reached the requirements of such a comprehensive guidance laser equipment effect evaluation system.

[0005] However, there are several related technologies such as temperature measurement, target recognition, spectral analysis for surface state detection, and analysis methods based on intelligent learning. These technologies can be integrated and used to assess the degree of laser ablation on the target. During the laser action process, the material properties, internal structure and morphological changes of the target should also be monitored in real time and referenced to the pre-stored database to evaluate the effect of the laser and predict the time required for the material properties to change in stages. However, current technology has obvious deficiencies in remotely monitoring the series of changes that occur when the target is subjected to laser ablation. The related technologies of the laser effect evaluation system mainly have the following deficiencies: (1) Slow response speed. In high-intensity defense or high-precision welding or cleaning operation scenarios, the laser evaluation system must be able to respond quickly because effective laser irradiation usually needs to be completed within a time window of seconds or shorter. Therefore, it becomes extremely challenging to capture and process a large amount of data in real time during this process. Since data processing and analysis take a long time, it is difficult to monitor the ablation status of the target in real time. In order to improve the evaluation efficiency, it is necessary to pre-build a large database or target ablation model so that the ablation effect can be efficiently evaluated by fast vector matching of captured data. In terms of spectral information analysis, processing large spectral data sets is also extremely time-consuming. Therefore, after the target characteristics are known, several key spectral bands should be used for targeted monitoring to optimize resource utilization and analysis speed. Based on the detected radiation spectrum and characteristic spectrum data, the component intensity and spectral line shape can be obtained by matrix reconstruction method, a mainstream transient absorption spectrum global fitting algorithm. This method can extract key information from complex spectral data and accelerate the evaluation process of the target ablation status.

[0006] (2) Insufficient captured information. In laser ablation research, real-time monitoring of the temperature dynamics of the target object is a basic requirement. More importantly, it is necessary to be able to observe in real time the series of complex physical and chemical transformations that the target undergoes. By fusing the ablation images captured by high-speed imaging technology with spectral analysis data, a more comprehensive assessment of the multiple ablation stages of the target under the action of the laser can be made, such as rapid heating, oxidation, melting, and volatilization. Spectral data can be used to deeply analyze the microstructural changes, phase transitions, and real-time changes in thermophysical properties (such as thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, etc.) of the target material under the action of the laser. This identification of different ablation stages and determination of material property changes requires a spectral information database specifically for laser ablation scenarios. This spectral database contains the staged response data and ablation characteristic indicators of various categories of targets, which can provide an accurate scientific basis for the evaluation of laser effect.

[0007] (3) Insufficient database and lack of autonomous learning ability. In laser irradiation applications, the system may encounter unknown targets that are not pre-stored in the database. In the face of such situations, the system should have an autonomous learning function. By capturing changes in spectral lines and referring to the spectral characteristics of general materials, the system can automatically determine the target's staged behavior and material property changes under the action of the laser, and make corresponding classifications. In addition, the system comprehensively analyzes spectral information and imaging data to generate multiple sets of data sets corresponding to different effects, providing the necessary conditions for rapid and accurate identification and evaluation of subsequent laser action process events. The system also needs to have dynamic correction capabilities to instantly update the relationship between captured information and ablation results to improve its recognition accuracy and the reliability of the results.

[0027] The present invention provides a laser effect evaluation method, which uses the above-mentioned laser effect evaluation system to perform evaluation, and specifically includes the following steps: S1. The object to be measured is irradiated with laser. As the laser energy accumulates, the object to be measured begins to heat up or ablate.

[0028] Example 1 like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a high-speed remote laser effect evaluation system, including an optical system 1, a spectroscope group, a detection channel, a data storage module 15, an intelligent learning module 16, a spectrometer 17, and an effect evaluation module 18; The visible or infrared radiation of the object to be measured passes through the optical system 1 and is incident on the beam splitter group; the beam splitter group includes six beam splitters arranged in sequence; the first beam splitter 19 receives the laser beam and splits it, and outputs a reflected beam and a transmitted beam propagating along the transmission light path respectively, the reflected beam enters the first detection channel, and the transmitted beam enters the next beam splitter; the spectrometer 17 collects the light beam emitted by the last beam splitter (the sixth beam splitter) and transmits it to the external data of the data storage module 15; Each beam splitter is connected to a detection channel, which is composed of a filter component and a photoelectric detector; the reflected light beam is filtered by the filter component and then received by the photoelectric detector; The filter assembly includes filters and filter wheels; the first four detection channels are composed of filters and photodetectors, which mainly detect the radiation spectrum generated by the object during the laser ablation process, and use filters with different central wavelengths, wherein the central wavelengths of the first filter 12, the second filter 6, the third filter 13 and the fourth filter 7 are 0.88μm, 3.4μm, 7.4μm and 10.6μm respectively (not limited to the above four wavelengths), and these wavelengths are located in the atmospheric transmission window to reduce the absorption and scattering effects of the atmosphere on radiation. The optical signal of each detection channel is respectively The photodetectors (the first photodetector 9, the second photodetector 3, the third photodetector 10 and the fourth photodetector 4) of the corresponding wavelength band receive the radiation. The last two groups of detection channels are composed of filter wheels and photodetectors. The first filter wheel 14 and the fifth photodetector 11 constitute the fifth detection channel, and the second filter wheel 8 and the sixth photodetector 5 constitute the sixth detection channel, which are mainly used to detect the characteristic spectrum generated by the object during the laser ablation process. The first to fourth detection channels transmit the received radiation spectrum, and the fifth to sixth detection channels transmit the characteristic spectrum information to the external data of the data storage module 15. The high-speed camera 2 captures the ablation morphology of the target surface and extracts characteristic information, converts the image data captured during the laser ablation process into a one-dimensional matching vector with laser action characteristics, and transmits it to the external data of the data storage module 15; The data storage module 15 inputs the received external data into the intelligent learning module 16 to intelligently process, analyze and classify the data, store the spectral information corresponding to the key ablation degree and the ablation image data into the internal data of the data storage module 15 and establish a laser ablation model; The internal data and external data in the data storage module 15 are input into the effect evaluation module 18, and the internal data and the external data are compared and evaluated to establish the correlation between the effect of the laser on the material, and comprehensively give the effect of the laser on the target.

[0029] Specific applications: (1) For a known target, the system can determine the surface temperature of the object by measuring the radiation spectrum response intensity through the first to fourth detection channels and combining it with the blackbody radiation calibration performed in advance; this process involves Planck's law-Wien formula: (1) In the above formula, The photodetector is the black body radiation at a certain temperature. The output intensity under is Planck's constant, is the response specific wavelength of the channel, It is the value given by the internal database after the target material is identified by the characteristic spectrum of the initial spectrum or the ablation image. The system's internal database also provides the approximate wavelength window of the characteristic peak of the target for identification. Based on this information, the system automatically rotates the filter wheel to select the appropriate filter, which is received by the corresponding photodetector. Based on the intensity of the detected radiation spectrum and characteristic spectrum, the system uses the global fitting algorithm of transient absorption spectrum such as matrix recombination method to fit the component intensity and fitting line shape.

[0030] Through the radiation spectrum and characteristic spectrum detected after calibration, the system automatically analyzes the spectral line rules according to the spectral features of the internal database, and captures the curve changes of the radiation spectrum and characteristic spectrum, such as the spectral line platform period, peak fluctuation and curve mutation rules. Combined with the image features extracted from the image taken by the high-speed camera 2, a one-dimensional matching vector with laser action characteristics is formed. The laser action effect evaluation module 18 compares the effect and the correlation relationship or evaluation model of the spectrum and image features in the data storage module 15 based on this one-dimensional vector, and reasonably gives the stage of the target in the ablation process (such as rapid heating, oxidation, melting and volatilization, etc.), as well as the microscopic local features of the material surface at different stages (involving microstructural changes, local ablation phenomena, surface roughness characteristics, the generation of tiny metal particles, etc.). After the evaluation is completed, these data are reloaded into the internal storage module as a basis for correcting the evaluation matching relationship or laser ablation model, thereby further optimizing the accuracy of the evaluation module.

[0031] (2) For unknown targets, the emission spectrum and characteristic spectrum of the target are obtained in the same way. However, since the emissivity of the surface of the object is unknown, the target does not exist in the data storage module 15; the radiation temperature of the target is not inferred from the fitted radiation spectrum of the first to fourth detection channels, but is directly calculated based on Wien's displacement law by scanning the target radiation through the analytical spectrometer 17 to determine the peak wavelength of the radiation spectrum; the calculation formula is as follows: (2) In the formula, represents the peak wavelength of the radiation, T Indicates the temperature of an object; the peak wavelength of radiation can be measured by analyzing the spectrometer scan , and then the physical surface temperature can be obtained without relying on the physical emissivity. When obtaining the characteristic spectrum, we may also encounter situations such as unknown characteristic spectrum windows. We can use the Grubbs criterion in statistics to determine the approximate wavelength window of the characteristic spectrum, and the system can automatically rotate the filter wheel to select the appropriate filter based on the wavelength window of the characteristic spectrum. At this time, the system is also based on spectral information and ablation images. Since the internal database lacks the corresponding target material ablation data, it is impossible to quickly determine the effect in real time, but the general rules of laser ablation materials can be used to quickly evaluate the effect. At this time, the evaluation system can also autonomously classify and analyze the effect based on the captured spectral information and image information, establish a new laser ablation model when necessary, and incorporate these captured information and analysis results into the data storage module 15 of the evaluation system, so as to provide conditions for rapid and accurate evaluation when ablating the same type of target next time.

[0032] Example 2 When developing a laser effect evaluation system, extensive ground experiments must be conducted to establish a database containing ablation information of various target materials under laser ablation, and when necessary, use its data to establish laser ablation models at different stages in order to quantitatively analyze the degree of ablation at a specific stage. This task requires a large amount of ground experimental support to accumulate necessary data for rapid evaluation. Taking the identification of staged changes in laser ablation of 2A12 aluminum alloy as an example, the evaluation process first needs to obtain spectral data processed by standardized steps (including background dark current removal, wavelength calibration, and blackbody radiation calibration). These spectral data, combined with the ablation image information captured by a high-speed camera, enable the classification of different ablation stages of 2A12 aluminum alloy; as shown in Table 1.

[0033] Table 1 Phased changes in the laser effect on 2A12 aluminum alloy

[0034] The evaluation system encodes the stage number, spectral features and image features to form a matching vector; the stage number is used to identify the rationality of the order in which the spectral features and image features appear. Abnormal stage numbers, such as stage number 4 appearing earlier than other numbers, will cause the ablation evaluation module to report an error and output an error message; and the matching vector is the basis for matching the externally captured feature data with the internally stored feature data. Table 1 shows the initial stage changes in the laser effect of 2A12 aluminum alloy. If the laser ablation process is understood more accurately, additional spectral line change identification features can be introduced, such as spectral line change curvature or fluctuation range, to further optimize the ablation evaluation database.

[0035] When the laser acts on the 2A12 aluminum alloy target again, the filter wheel is quickly switched to the corresponding characteristic spectrum band according to the system's built-in database information to capture effective spectral information. After a series of spectral calibrations, the spectral information of 6 channels is obtained. The spectral line shape of the coupling between the radiation spectrum and the characteristic spectrum is fitted by the matrix recombination method, one of the mainstream transient absorption spectrum global fitting algorithms. Under the condition of known target emissivity, the target surface temperature can be solved by the radiation spectrum information obtained by the four-channel photodetector. However, for 2A12 aluminum alloy, in the initial state of irradiation, since the continuous spectrum almost does not exist, only two characteristic peaks of the laser are observed in the spectrum. This situation is consistent with the spectral information law built into the system. In the first three stages of Table 1, no radiation spectrum appears. This is because the aluminum alloy itself has a low surface absorptivity and a high heat transfer coefficient, and its coupling efficiency with the laser is poor. Therefore, the thermal radiation spectrum appears late, and it is difficult to obtain more accurate multi-spectral temperature measurement results through it. In addition, within about 80 seconds of laser irradiation, the pump peak and the laser emission peak experienced a "plateau period", which indicates that the effect of the aluminum alloy is in the first stage in Table 1.

[0036] After irradiation lasts for about 80 seconds, the peak of the discrete spectrum is no longer stable, that is, it leaves the so-called "plateau period". According to the second stage in Table 1, the surface shape and reflectivity of the target material begin to change at this time, the metal aluminum inside the target material melts and the high-melting-point oxide film covers the liquid aluminum, but no significant deformation occurs. When the characteristic spectrum shows great up and down fluctuations, it indicates that the ablation characteristics of the aluminum alloy have entered the third stage, the deformation of the aluminum alloy target material further increases, and the slight local surface deformation will significantly change the intensity of its corresponding characteristic peak, and the longer the detection distance of the spectrometer, the more so. The phenomenon observed after 136 seconds of laser irradiation is the sudden increase in the intensity of the thermal radiation spectrum and the decrease in the intensity of the discrete spectrum, marking the entry into the fourth stage of ablation. This stage is characterized by the disintegration of the material structure inside the target and the violent oxidation reaction caused by the contact between liquid aluminum and oxygen. The confirmation of this stage can be carried out not only through spectral features, but also through image features captured by high-speed cameras. When it is difficult to identify the stage of ablation using a single feature, the spectral features and image features can be combined to form a matching vector with more elements and a more complex matching mechanism for a remote rapid ablation evaluation. The radiation intensity, spectral distribution and image produced by the laser effect all change with time. The changes in the spectrum and image as well as the possible characteristic spectrum serve as the comprehensive basis for evaluating the effect.

[0037] Figure 2 Shown are actual photos of the target ablation caused by laser during the simulation experiment. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the curve showing the change of spectral distribution over time during a typical laser action process is shown.

[0038] In summary, the novel laser effect evaluation system proposed in the present invention has the characteristics of remote detection and efficient evaluation. It uses four-channel spectral information to replace the traditional full-band analysis method, which improves the real-time temperature calculation rate. When the emissivity of the target material is known, the system uses the Wien formula, a variant of Planck's law, to calculate its surface temperature. For targets with unknown emissivity, the temperature of the object being measured is directly inferred with the help of Wien's displacement law. This method effectively overcomes the limitation of traditional technology that relies on emissivity. In addition to the four-channel spectrum, the system is also equipped with a multi-channel characteristic spectrum detection function, which can record in detail the spectral characteristics of the material at different ablation stages. With the help of these spectral information and combined with the real-time images of the high-speed camera, the microstructural changes, phase transition processes and real-time changes of thermophysical properties of materials at different ablation stages under the action of laser can be further explored. At the same time, the spectral characteristics corresponding to different effects and the ablation images are classified, stored in the internal storage module, and a laser ablation model is established. When re-evaluating the same target, the system will quickly and accurately evaluate the effect of the laser based on the captured spectral features and real-time images, and according to the correlation in the storage module or the specific ablation model. As the evaluation system continues to learn autonomously and data gradually accumulates, the effect evaluation criteria are updated and improved in real time, providing key support for improving the accuracy of the evaluation results.

[0039] The innovation of using multiple point detectors lies in that although there are literature reports on the evaluation scheme of remote ablation using only spectrometers, the main problem of this scheme is that the spectrometer is not targeted, the amount of redundant data is large, the use is not flexible and fast enough, and the amount of data is large under high frame rate working conditions. The literature reports that the time for software processing of 3000 spectral data is 38s, which is much higher than the time for the laser to act on the target (usually less than 10s, and the lower the better). Under low frame rate working conditions, it is easy to lose the target ablation characteristic spectral information at critical moments, affecting the timeliness and accuracy of the judgment results. The use of photoelectric point detectors to carry out targeted monitoring of target characteristic spectral bands has the advantages of high detection frame rate, small redundancy, and simple data processing, which can effectively improve the speed of ablation judgment.
