Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of laser components, in particular to a power amplification module base for low temperature and an optimized design method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The power amplification module is the core component of the laser, which is used to absorb the energy brought by the excitation source to realize the function of power amplification. The power amplification module includes a gain medium, a heat sink and a base, wherein the base mainly plays a supporting role, and is usually fixed on the heat sink to ensure that the power amplification module has good stability and reliability. The gain medium in the power amplification module is excited to radiate and generate heat, and the heat accumulation will reduce the laser spot quality and service life, so a cooling medium is needed to cool it down so that it can be used normally. For low-power and small-energy power amplification modules, water is often used as the cooling medium; while for high-power and large-energy power amplification modules, liquid nitrogen is often used as the cooling medium.

[0003] At present, the base of the high-power and large-energy power amplification module generally adopts an integrated structure of stainless steel material, which is connected with the left and right heat sinks by bolts. This structure is uniformly stressed and has good rigidity at room temperature, providing good support for the power amplification module. However, in a low-temperature environment, the left and right heat sinks will expand and contract, and the integrated base will stretch the heat sink. Since the heat sink and the gain medium are connected by indium solder, the stretching stress will cause the power amplification module to open the solder and cannot be used normally. To solve this problem, relevant practitioners usually connect one side of the heat sink to the base by bolts and connect the other side of the heat sink to the base by indium solder. Although this solves the problem of stretching stress on both sides of the heat sink in a low-temperature environment, the indium material is prone to stretching fatigue under repeated high and low temperature conditions, which causes the heat sink and the base to open the solder, resulting in a cantilever structure between the power amplification module and the base. Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1, it is a stress cloud diagram of the power amplification module after the indium solder is opened. It can be seen that in a low-temperature environment, the overall stress of the power amplification module is uneven and the local stress is too large, which will cause the bending resistance to decrease, resulting in the deviation of the optical path, the decrease of the power and the spot quality, and the stability and reliability of the power amplification module cannot be guaranteed.

The top plate 222, the second insulating block 221, the connecting plate 211 and the second heat sink 13 are fixedly connected by first bolts 31. Specifically, a flat washer is sleeved on the first bolt 31, then the first bolt 31 passes through the first through holes 141 of the top plate 222, the second insulating block 221 and the connecting plate 211 in sequence, and finally screws into the mounting hole at the bottom of the second heat sink 13 to realize the fixed connection of the top plate 222, the second insulating block 221, the connecting plate 211 and the second heat sink 13. The first bolt 31 not only has the function of positioning and fastening, but also can improve the shear resistance of the fixed assembly 21 and the floating assembly 22.

As shown in the drawings, Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the first placing groove 2221 is provided on one side of the top plate 222 close to the bottom position. The first placing groove 2221 is in communication with the bottom of the top plate 222, and the first placing groove 2221 is in linear distribution along the width direction of the top plate 222.

A plurality of balls 226 are arranged in the first placing groove 2221, and the balls 226 are in a gap fit state with the first placing groove 2221. The length of the first placing groove 2221 is greater than the sum of the diameters of the plurality of balls 226, that is, the number of balls 226 can be adjusted according to the length of the first placing groove 2221, but it is necessary to ensure that there is a mutual movement amount between any two adjacent balls 226. There are a plurality of first placing grooves 2221 and they are uniformly distributed on the top plate 222. In this embodiment, the number of first placing grooves 2221 is four. Figure 5 As shown, the side of the top plate 222 close to the first placing groove 2221 is fixedly provided with a baffle 224.

The material reduction grooves 145 can save the use amount of production raw materials and reduce the weight of the seat plate 14.

[0048] As shown in the drawings, Figure 10 As shown in the force stress diagram of the power amplification module 1, it can be seen that the power amplification module 1 bears force uniformly in a low-temperature environment, and the stability and reliability of the power amplification module 1 are high.
