[0041] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0042] The components of the embodiments of the present application generally described and shown in the drawings herein may be arranged and designed in various configurations.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third" and the like are only used to distinguish descriptions and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0044] Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical terms and scientific terms) used herein have the same meanings as those generally understood by those skilled in the art to which the various embodiments of the present application belong. Terms (such as those defined in generally used dictionaries) will be interpreted as having the same meanings as the contextual meanings in the relevant technical field and will not be interpreted as having idealized meanings or overly formal meanings unless clearly defined in the various embodiments of the present application.

[0045] In conjunction with the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the present application are described in detail below. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0046] The current pulse optimization scheme is limited to the improvement of CPA system structure and parameter design, and does not take into account the influence of the initial laser pulse output by the seed source itself. The present application provides a laser quality optimization method. In addition to adjusting the amplifier and compressor, the neutron source laser parameters are also adjusted to achieve the effect of optimizing the output laser, making the optimization result more obvious and effective.

[0047] A laser system in which the laser quality optimization method is implemented is described below in conjunction with some specific embodiments.

[0048] Figure 1 A structural diagram of a laser system according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. Exemplarily, the laser system includes: a control terminal 100 , a laser seed source 200 , a stretcher 300 , an amplifier 400 and a compressor 500 .

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the laser seed source 200, the stretcher 300, the amplifier 400 and the compressor 500 are connected in sequence. Taking the 1um band GHz fundamental frequency fiber femtosecond laser system as an example, the seed source laser emitted by the laser seed source 200 is stretched to several hundred picoseconds or even nanoseconds by the stretcher 300, and then input into the amplifier 400 for power amplification, and finally compressed to femtoseconds by the compressor 500 for output.

[0050] The laser seed source 200 is a seed source laser, which is used to provide an initial optical signal and is mainly used to output stable high repetition rate femtosecond mode-locked laser pulses.

[0051] The stretcher 300 is mainly used to stretch the femtosecond pulse output by the seed source to the picosecond or even nanosecond level. The stretcher introduces dispersion into the pulse to stretch it in the time domain, thereby greatly reducing the peak power of the pulse to avoid optical damage in the subsequent amplification process and reduce nonlinear effects.

[0052] The control terminal 100 is used to control the laser seed source 200, the stretcher 300, the amplifier 400 and the compressor 500 to perform corresponding debugging and laser output through a control program, so as to debug the laser quality output by the laser system.

[0053] The control terminal 100 may be a control device integrated in the laser system, or may be an external device such as a computer.

[0054] Specifically, the laser is output according to the target output parameters of the laser. The laser pulses are obtained by debugging each level of amplification inside the amplifier 400 and adjusting the compressor 500.

[0055] Then adjust the seed source laser parameters to make the laser seed source 200 emit different lasers, and then adjust the amplifier and the compressor. After multiple rounds of adjustment, multiple output laser parameters are obtained, and the laser parameters with the best quality are obtained as the adjustment result. The seed source laser parameters corresponding to the adjustment result, the adjustment parameters of the amplifier 400, and the adjustment result of the compressor 500 are the final adjustment result of the laser system.

[0056] Figure 2 A schematic flow chart of a laser quality optimization method according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. Exemplarily, the method of this embodiment is applied to a laser system as described above. The method includes:

[0057] Step S100, setting the seed source laser parameters, and debugging each level of amplification inside the amplifier according to the preset target output parameters of the laser system.

[0058] The target output parameters are used to define various indicators of the laser to be output, including output power, pulse frequency, pulse energy, etc.

[0059] First, the seed source laser parameters of the laser seed source are set to make the seed source laser emit laser, and then the various stages of amplification in the amplifier are adjusted to control the parameters of the output laser. In this way, the output laser parameters are adjusted based on the seed source laser parameters. For example, the output laser pulse power can be made the same as the target output parameter power by debugging the various stages of amplification.

[0060] Step S200, continuously adjusting the compressor to compress the amplified laser pulse, and obtaining pulse parameters and laser system parameters corresponding to the shortest pulse width after compression.

[0061] The output pulse parameters can be obtained through measuring equipment such as an autocorrelator or FROG (frequency resolved optical switch), and these parameters can be the time domain shape of the pulse and analyze its contrast, pulse width parameters, etc.

[0062] Figure 3 The figure shows the pulse autocorrelation curve L1 and the Gaussian fitting result L2 measured by the autocorrelator. There is a large deviation between the base of the autocorrelation curve and the fitting curve. Generally speaking, the larger the deviation, the wider the base, or the higher the sidelobe amplitude, the worse the pulse quality.

[0063] Therefore, by continuously adjusting the compressor, multiple pulse parameters can be obtained, and then multiple output pulse parameters are compared to determine the pulse with the shortest pulse width, thereby determining the laser system parameters corresponding to the pulse with the shortest pulse width. The laser system parameters are the seed source laser parameters, compressor parameters, and parameters of each level of amplification when emitting the pulse with the shortest pulse width. The laser system parameters are the laser system parameters that can obtain the shortest pulse width after adjusting the compressor under the current conditions, and can be considered as the optimal parameters under the current conditions.

[0064] In one embodiment, the adjustment parameter of the compressor may be the grating spacing of the compressor. Each time the grating spacing of the compressor is adjusted, pulse data is recorded once, thereby obtaining multiple pulse data, and then the output pulse parameter with the smallest pulse width in each pulse data is compared. The pulse corresponding to the pulse parameter is the shortest pulse, and the corresponding grating spacing is the adjustment spacing corresponding to the compressor.

[0065] In this way, a pulse with the shortest pulse width under the current seed source laser parameters can be obtained, which can be considered as the laser pulse with the best quality under the current seed source laser parameters.

[0066] Step S300, adjust the seed source laser parameters, then repeatedly debug the various levels of amplification inside the amplifier, and continuously adjust the compressor to compress the amplified laser pulse, obtain the pulse parameters and laser system parameters corresponding to the shortest pulse width after compression, and obtain the pulse parameters of the shortest pulse width corresponding to multiple different seed source laser parameters and the laser system parameters corresponding to the shortest pulse width.

[0067] After the above steps of debugging, only one pulse is debugged under one seed source laser parameter, but the seed source laser parameters can also be involved in the optimization adjustment. By adjusting the seed source laser parameters, a better quality laser pulse output can be obtained.

[0068] Therefore, in this embodiment, the seed source laser parameters are also adjusted, and then by repeating the operations of steps S100 to S200, multiple pulses with the shortest pulse width under new seed source laser parameters can be obtained, as well as pulse parameters of the shortest pulse width corresponding to different seed source laser parameters and laser system parameters corresponding to the shortest pulse width.

[0069] It can be understood that when the seed source laser parameters are repeatedly adjusted, they still need to be adjusted according to the aforementioned target output parameters. Figure 3 From the relevant description, it can be seen that the purpose of adjusting the seed source laser parameters is to reduce Figure 3The base width in the signal can be adjusted, so the parameters that can affect this performance can be adjusted. The optimization is still based on the preset output target parameters, so the output power should remain consistent, and the remaining parameters can be adjusted according to the specific adjustment strategy.

[0070] Exemplarily, the seed laser parameter that is adjusted may be the cavity net dispersion of the seed laser.

[0071] The seed source laser can achieve femtosecond pulse output with different optical parameters. The net dispersion of the cavity is the total dispersion experienced by the laser pulse in the laser resonant cavity after one cycle, which is the sum of the positive dispersion provided by the optical fiber and all optical element media and the negative dispersion provided by the grating pair.

[0072] By adjusting the net dispersion of the cavity, femtosecond laser output with different spectra and pulse widths can be achieved. For example, as the net dispersion gradually increases, the sideband spacing in the mode-locked laser spectrum increases and the amplitude decreases. When the net dispersion approaches zero, the evolution of the pulse in the cavity becomes a broadening-compression type, and the spectrum becomes wider and no longer has sidebands.

[0073] In one embodiment, the net dispersion of the cavity in the seed source laser can be adjusted by adjusting the grating pair spacing of the seed source laser or adjusting the fiber parameters. The specific method of adjusting the net dispersion of the cavity in the seed source laser can be adjusted by different schemes according to the structure and design of the seed source laser.

[0074] For example, for a resonant cavity that uses a diffraction grating to provide negative dispersion, the net dispersion of the cavity can be adjusted by adjusting the spacing between the grating pairs. When the spacing between the grating pairs is increased, the net dispersion of the cavity will decrease, and when the spacing between the grating pairs is reduced, the net dispersion of the cavity will increase.

[0075] For all-fiber mode-locked resonators, chirped fiber gratings are usually used to provide dispersion compensation. The net dispersion can be adjusted by adjusting the fiber length to increase or decrease the total amount of material dispersion. The same adjustment goal can also be achieved by adding a dispersion element outside the resonant cavity to perform additional dispersion management on the seed laser.

[0076] Step S400, based on pulse parameters of the shortest pulse width corresponding to a plurality of different seed source laser parameters, determine an optimal pulse compression result and laser system parameters corresponding to the optimal pulse compression result.

[0077] After obtaining the pulse parameters of the shortest pulse width corresponding to multiple different seed source laser parameters and the laser system parameters corresponding to the shortest pulse width, the next step is to select the laser with the best quality as the optimal pulse compression result based on the pulse parameters from these data, and then use the laser system parameters corresponding to the laser with the optimal pulse compression result as the final target parameters that need to be adjusted.

[0078] The quality of the output laser pulse can be evaluated by calculating the corresponding Strehl ratio. The higher the quality of the laser pulse, the larger the Strehl ratio. Figure 3 The performance is that the narrower the bottom pointed by the arrow, the closer the blue line fits the red line curve, which means the laser quality is higher.

[0079] In this embodiment, the Strehl ratio is used to characterize the time domain pulse quality, that is, the proportion of the energy contained in the main peak mentioned above in the total pulse energy. In this way, the quality of the pulse can be judged.

[0080] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in order to better understand the adjustment effect of this embodiment, the seed laser with obvious Kelly sidebands in the spectrum is taken as an example. After amplification in the CPA system, the output spectrum shows an obvious double-peak structure. After the pulse is stretched in a stretcher with large second-order dispersion, its time domain shape basically corresponds to the shape of the spectrum. Therefore, the stretched pulse also has a double-peak structure in the time domain; when the peak power is high and SPM (non-linear effect) occurs, the nonlinear phase shift generated is more complex than that of a pulse with only a single rising edge and falling edge, and it is more difficult to compensate by adjusting the compressor. The amplified output laser pulse is compressed to obtain a pulse with multiple obvious side lobes, and the peak power is significantly reduced.

[0081] By adjusting the seed source grating spacing multiple times, the half-height width of the spectrum can be increased and the sideband can be significantly weakened. The output spectrum of the seed light after amplification in the CPA system is as follows: Figure 6 As shown in the figure, it is a relatively regular single-peak shape. The amplitude of the depression and protrusion on the curve is relatively small. The irregularity of the nonlinear phase shift generated by the broadened pulse during the amplification process is reduced, and the compressibility of the pulse after amplification is significantly improved. The autocorrelation curve of the compressed output pulse is shown in Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the base / side lobe is basically eliminated, the autocorrelation curve is basically consistent with the fitting curve, the pulse width is shorter, and the pulse quality is very good. It can be understood that Figure 7 The autocorrelation curve and fitting curve shown are only for the purpose of visually reflecting the quality change of the laser pulse. In actual scenarios, the quality of the laser pulse still needs to be evaluated by calculating the Strehl ratio.

[0082] By evaluating multiple pulse compression results through the Strehl ratio, the best pulse compression result can be obtained.

[0083] Among them, because the larger the Strehl ratio, the better the pulse compression effect, therefore, for the shortest pulses corresponding to multiple different seed source laser parameters, the laser pulse corresponding to the largest Strehl ratio value is selected as the optimal pulse compression result.

[0084] Step S500: based on the laser system parameters corresponding to the optimal pulse compression result, optimizing the actual parameters in the laser system so that the laser system outputs optimized laser pulses.

[0085] Based on the optimal pulse compression result obtained above, the laser seed source parameters, amplifier amplification parameters at various levels, and compressor compression parameters corresponding to the laser pulse result can be obtained. Therefore, the laser system parameters corresponding to the optimal pulse compression result are the optimized laser system parameters. The actual parameters in the laser system are optimized using the optimized laser system parameters. By working according to these laser seed source parameters, amplifier amplification parameters at various levels, and compressor compression parameters, the laser system can emit laser pulses of sufficiently high quality that meet the target output parameters. In this way, the optimization operation is completed.

[0086] The laser quality optimization method of this embodiment, in addition to adjusting the parameters of the amplifier and the compressor, also adjusts the parameters of the seed source laser, changes the cavity net dispersion of the seed source laser, and changes the output laser quality. The method of the embodiment can be adapted to the existing adjustment method, and provides more adjustment directions, and is adapted to a variety of laser systems, has good compatibility, and has a wider adjustment range than the existing technology, and is easier to adjust to produce high-quality laser output that meets the requirements.

[0091] The information determination module 40 is used to determine the optimal pulse compression result and the laser system parameters corresponding to the optimal pulse compression result based on the pulse parameters of the shortest pulse width corresponding to multiple different seed source laser parameters.
