Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of laser processing, and particularly to a modification processing method and a processing system based on beam shaping. Background Art

[0002] Due to its advantages such as high precision, non-contact, and wide range of applicable materials, laser processing technology has been widely used in the fields of micro-nano manufacturing, optical device processing, semiconductors, etc. However, with the evolution of industrial demands towards complex three-dimensional structures, high efficiency, and high consistency, the limitations of traditional laser processing technology have become increasingly prominent.

[0003] Traditional laser processing mostly uses Gaussian beams or focusing methods with a fixed focal depth, and the focal position is adjusted by mechanically moving optical elements (such as objective lenses or sample stages). This mode has problems such as low efficiency, limited precision, and lack of flexibility. Existing focal point control technologies mainly rely on schemes such as acousto-optic modulators (AOMs), galvanometer scanners, or tunable lenses, but they have significant defects. For example, although the AOM scheme can achieve nanosecond-level focal point switching, its modulation freedom is low, only supporting one-dimensional or simple two-dimensional path adjustments, and it is difficult to generate complex three-dimensional focal point distributions. Galvanometer scanning systems rely on the deflection of high-speed mirrors, the focal point movement range is limited by the optical design, and high-speed movement is prone to thermal drift and mechanical wear; tunable lenses (such as liquid crystal lenses) have a slow response speed (millisecond level), are difficult to meet the requirements of high repetition rate processing, and have a limited focal depth control range.

[0004] To improve processing efficiency, some technologies attempt to generate static multi-focal points through diffractive optical elements (DOEs) or lens arrays. However, such schemes have problems such as poor uniformity, lack of flexibility, and difficulty in three-dimensional expansion, and there are also many challenges in technologies for processing complex three-dimensional structures, such as application challenges in generating longitudinal modified surfaces, controlling curved surface fragmentation, and manufacturing waveguides.

[0005] Although spatial light modulators (SLMs) have been used for phase modulation, their application in laser processing is still limited to simple two-dimensional pattern generation or static holographic projection, and their potential for flexible control has not been fully exploited.

[0006] In summary, existing laser processing technologies have significant shortcomings in terms of control flexibility, three-dimensional structure processing efficiency, and complex light field generation ability. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a modification processing method and processing system based on beam shaping, which uses light field control technology to shape the laser focal plane into a preset spatial light field (such as complex curves and surfaces), and uses the light field to perform "one-step" spatial modification of the material, and can also perform dynamic scanning spatial modification with surfaces as units that change over time. This method breaks through the limitations of traditional point-by-point scanning processing, significantly improves the processing efficiency and flexibility of complex three-dimensional structures, and is suitable for scenes such as internal waveguide writing of transparent materials, separation of curved cracks, large-area peeling, functionalized surface preparation, and massive removal of opaque materials.

[0029] Starting from the K plane along the reverse direction of the optical axis, according to reverse substitution and propagation, the optical field amplitude is successively replaced with the target light intensity while retaining the phase. Specifically:

[0030] The target light intensity on the K plane is expressed as: ; where is the phase angle function for extracting the complex number;

[0089] The processed three-dimensional structure is as Figure 2 shown in a, and the three-dimensional structure is similar to a V-shaped three-dimensional structure;

[0090] Such as Figure 2 shown in b, the plane slice in the Z direction, the pixel size of each slice is 1272*1024, and the number of slices is determined by the distance between adjacent slices. The slice distance is (unit: mm), and there is:

[0093] The number of pixels using SLM is 1272*1024, the pixel size is 12.5 microns, the focal length is 300 mm, and the laser wavelength is 1064 nm. Then the numerical aperture NA of the system can be obtained as: 0.0335. Then there is , since the processing is precision processing, the higher the resolution, the better. Then select close to the minimum value is the best. In the embodiment, the processed three-dimensional structure is 1 mm thick. Let . Then the number of plane slices is 1 mm / 0.02 mm = 50 slices, and the adjacent interval of each slice is 0.02 mm.

Finally, an optical device as shown in Figure 2 d can be obtained. In addition to the V-groove type optical device in this case, this method can also be used to process various three-dimensional spatial structures or waveguide structures as shown in Figure 3 .

[0134] S01: According to the three-dimensional model of the target modification structure, obtain the three-dimensional light field distribution corresponding to the three-dimensional model through the holographic algorithm, generate a phase modulation diagram, and inversely determine the phase distribution based on the iterative algorithm , The generation method is the same as that of static modulation. Refer to the static modulation part in Example 1 to generate the spatial structure as shown in Figure 5 a.

[0135] S02: Use the one as shown in Figure 1The optical system shown, the picosecond laser system generates a laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm, a pulse width of 10 ps, a repetition frequency of 100 kHz, and a laser power of 15 W. The processed sample is plexiglass, with dimensions of 3 mm * 9 mm * 1 mm, and the coordinates of its center point are (0, 0, 300), with all units in mm; then the coordinate positions that require dynamic displacement processing are (-4, 1, 300), (-3, 1, 300), (-2, 1, 300), (-1, 1, 300), (0, 1, 300), (1, 1, 300), (2, 1, 300), (3, 1, 300), (4, 1, 300), (-4, 0, 300), (-3, 0, 300), (-2, 0, 300), (-1, 0, 300), (0, 0, 300), (1, 0, 300), (2, 0, 300), (3, 0, 300), (4, 0, 300), (-4, -1, 300), (-3, -1, 300), (-2, -1, 300), (-1, -1, 300), (0, -1, 300), (1, -1, 300), (2, -1, 300), (3, -1, 300), (4, -1, 300). The dynamic moving focusing position obtains a set of phase diagrams according to the method of Example 2, such as Figure 5 as shown in b in, 27 processing points are obtained, and are respectively denoted as 1, 2,..., 27 in the order of the above coordinate points; the set of superimposed phase diagrams is denoted as .

[0136] S03: Each coordinate position requires 1 s of laser irradiation. This 1 s is static processing, and then static modulation and dynamic modulation are alternately switched to avoid material damage caused by stress and heat concentration. The switching order rule for processing at this time is as follows:

[0137] 1. If the number of elements in a certain row of the processed array is an odd number m', then the phase diagram is switched in the order of 1, 3, 5,..., m', 2, 4, 6,..., m' - 2. After the processing of the previous row is completed, the next row is processed in sequence.

[0138] 2. If the number of elements in a certain row of the processed array is an even number n', then the phase diagram is switched in the order of 1, 3, 5,..., n' - 1, 2, 4, 6,..., n'. After the processing of the previous row is completed, the next row is processed in sequence.

[0139] S04: According to the rules in step S03, perform dynamic switching of positions. The switching time for each phase diagram is 1 s, and the switching order of the phase diagrams is 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 20, 22, 24, 26. Perform static irradiation for 1 s at each coordinate position, and then perform dynamic switching in the above order. In this way, the processing combining dynamics and statics is completed, and the processed finished product as shown in Figure 5 is obtained as shown in c in
