Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of laser processing technology, and in particular to a modification processing method and processing system based on beam shaping. Background Art
[0002] Laser processing technology, due to its advantages such as high precision, non-contact operation, and wide range of applicable materials, is widely used in micro-nano manufacturing, optical device processing, semiconductors, and other fields. However, as industrial demands evolve towards complex three-dimensional structures, high efficiency, and high consistency, the limitations of traditional laser processing technology are becoming increasingly prominent.
[0003] Traditional laser processing often uses a Gaussian beam or fixed focal depth focusing method, with the focal position relying on mechanically moving optical elements (such as an objective lens or sample stage) for adjustment. This model suffers from low efficiency, limited precision, and insufficient flexibility. Existing focus control technologies primarily rely on solutions such as acousto-optic modulators (AOMs), galvanometer scanning, or adjustable lenses, but these have significant drawbacks. For example, while the AOM solution can achieve nanosecond focus switching, it has low modulation freedom and only supports one-dimensional or simple two-dimensional path adjustment, making it difficult to generate complex three-dimensional focus distributions. Galvanometer scanning systems rely on high-speed mirror deflection, and the focus movement range is limited by the optical design. High-speed motion is also prone to thermal drift and mechanical wear. Adjustable lenses (such as liquid crystal lenses) have slow response speeds (milliseconds), making it difficult to meet the requirements of high-repetition-rate processing, and the focus depth control range is limited.
[0004] To improve processing efficiency, some technologies attempt to generate static multifocal patterns using diffractive optical elements (DOEs) or lens arrays. However, these solutions suffer from poor uniformity, lack of flexibility, and difficulty in three-dimensional expansion. The processing of complex three-dimensional structures also presents numerous challenges, such as generating longitudinally modified surfaces, controlling curved cracks, and fabricating waveguides.
[0005] Although spatial light modulators (SLMs) have been used for phase modulation, their applications in laser processing are still limited to simple two-dimensional pattern generation or static holographic projection, failing to fully realize their flexible control potential.
[0006] In summary, existing laser processing technology has significant shortcomings in terms of control flexibility, three-dimensional structure processing efficiency and complex light field generation capabilities. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention provides a modification processing method and system based on beam shaping. This method uses light field manipulation technology to shape the laser focal plane into a predefined spatial light field (e.g., complex curves or surfaces). This light field is then used to perform a "one-step" spatial modification of the material. Alternatively, dynamic scanning-based spatial modification, based on curved surfaces, can be performed over time. This method overcomes the limitations of traditional point-by-point scanning processing, significantly improving the processing efficiency and flexibility of complex three-dimensional structures. It is suitable for applications such as internal waveguide inscription in transparent materials, separation of curved cracks, large-area peeling, functionalized surface preparation, and large-scale removal of opaque materials.

[0026] The light fields of K planes are obtained according to the forward propagation along the optical axis. Specifically, the forward propagation is as follows: the light field propagated from the k-1th plane to the kth plane is updated according to the following expression:

Polymer and thin film processing: The low-energy static multi-focus mode of this invention enables microstructuring of flexible materials such as PI films and PDMS, avoiding thermal damage.
[0047] 5. The beam shaping-based processing method described in this invention, through spatial curved surface light field control technology, expands the dimensionality of laser processing from two-dimensional planes to three-dimensional space. This achieves a quantum leap in efficiency, precision, flexibility, and applicability, providing a new solution for high-value-added precision manufacturing and possessing significant industrial application value.
