Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of lasers, in particular to a laser resonant cavity mirror adjusting device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the technical field of laser folded cavity, common three-mirror folded cavity (V-shaped cavity), four-mirror folded cavity (Z-shaped cavity) and other structures need to be composed of three or more cavity mirrors, but the existing devices cannot generally adjust the number of cavity mirrors inside the resonant cavity, which makes it difficult for the laser to adapt to different application scenarios and has poor adaptability. At the same time, the cavity mirror will absorb part of the laser energy during laser irradiation, causing the surface temperature to rise and thermal deformation to occur; this thermal deformation is influenced by factors such as axial linear expansion of the material, thermal stress deformation, and limited flexure of the mirror periphery, and presents non-uniformity, which is prone to local uneven heating under long-term action. A single cooling device cannot solve this non-uniform heat distribution, which is prone to cause overheating in some areas of the cavity mirror, and further cause lens deformation, beam quality degradation, and even cause permanent damage to the cavity mirror, which severely limits the stable operation and application range of the laser.
[0003] However, the existing technology not only fails to break through the adaptability bottleneck caused by the fixed number of cavity mirrors and the risk of thermal deformation caused by single cooling, but also ignores the differentiated cooling needs of the total reflection mirror and the output mirror due to functional differences. The back (non-reflective surface) of the total reflection mirror does not participate in the light path, so even if the area is shielded, it will not directly affect the light field distribution in the cavity. However, the output mirror needs to simultaneously realize partial laser transmission output and cavity light feedback function, and its two sides must be completely unshielded. If there is shielding, it will cause the transmitted laser to be absorbed or scattered, resulting in a decrease in output power and deterioration of beam quality. This essential difference in function makes it impossible for the total reflection mirror and the output mirror to share the same cooling structure, and the existing scheme has not designed an adaptive cooling method for this difference, further exacerbating the technical problems of performance optimization and long-term stable operation of the laser.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0036] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the application, rather than all the embodiments of the application.
[0037] Referring to Figures 1 to 11 A laser resonator cavity mirror assembly and adjustment device includes a fixed housing 1. Support bases 15 are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides inside the fixed housing 1. A first lead screw 4 is installed at the top of the support base 15. Several first sliding blocks 5 are slidably installed on the first lead screw 4. A sliding frame 13 is provided between two symmetrical first sliding blocks 5. A retractable protrusion is installed on the side of the first sliding block 5 near the sliding frame 13. A groove is provided on the sliding frame 13 to cooperate with the protrusion, so that both ends of the sliding frame 13 are detachably installed with the first sliding blocks 5. When the first sliding blocks 5 move, they can drive the sliding frame 13 to move synchronously. A connecting block 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding frame 13 near the first sliding block 5. A telescopic plate 16 is installed at the end of the connecting block 14 near the side wall of the first sliding block 5. The telescopic plate 16 is located above the top wall of the fixed housing 1. The left and right side walls of the fixed housing 1 are provided with first hydraulic rods 2. The telescopic ends of the two first hydraulic rods 2 on the same side are connected to a clamping plate 3. The lower end of the clamping plate 3 is provided with a notch that cooperates with the telescopic plate 16, so that when the sliding frame 13 moves to a suitable position, the first hydraulic rod 2 drives the clamping plate 3 to press down, and the fixed housing 1 and the clamping plate 3 complete the clamping of the telescopic plate 16, thereby fixing the position of the sliding frame 13.
[0038] A second lead screw 6 is mounted on the top of the sliding frame 13. A second sliding block 7 is slidably mounted on the second lead screw 6. Several second hydraulic rods 8 are fixedly mounted on the top of the second sliding block 7. The telescopic ends of the several second hydraulic rods 8 are connected to a rotating platform 9. A coolant storage tank 10 is fixedly mounted on the working end (i.e., the rotating end) of the rotating platform 9. The coolant storage tank 10 stores coolant such as water. A fixing frame 29 is fixedly mounted on the top of the coolant storage tank 10. A first mounting plate 30 or a second mounting plate 41 is movably mounted inside the fixing frame 29 at the bottom. A locking block 32 is movably mounted inside the frame 29 at the top. The position of the first mounting plate 30 or the second mounting plate 41 can be locked by the locking block 32. There is one first mounting plate 30 for mounting the output mirror 31. Several second mounting plates 41 are provided for mounting the total reflection mirror 44.
[0039] A first fixing plate 11 is fixedly installed on the top of the coolant storage tank 10 on one side of the output mirror 31. The first fixing plate 11 has a through hole, which corresponds to the position and size of the output mirror 31. Two symmetrically arranged arc-shaped connecting blocks 24 are fixedly installed on the side of the first fixing plate 11 near the output mirror 31. A first mounting housing 23 is fixedly installed between the two arc-shaped connecting blocks 24. A second mounting housing 25 is rotatably installed between the first mounting housing 23 and the first mounting plate 30. The second mounting housing 25 is in close contact with the first mounting housing 23, and an annular cavity is formed between them. A first gear tooth 26 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the second mounting housing 25. An arc-shaped rack 21 is rotatably connected to the side of the first mounting housing 23 away from the second mounting housing 25. Several air blowing pipes 22 are installed on the inner side of the arc-shaped rack 21. The air blowing pipes 22 are connected to an air blowing device (not shown in the figure) installed inside the arc-shaped rack 21.
[0040] The coolant storage tank 10 has an output end connected to an inlet pipe 27. The end of the inlet pipe 27 away from the coolant storage tank 10 is connected to the inside of the first mounting housing 23. The coolant storage tank 10 has an input end connected to an outlet pipe 28. The end of the outlet pipe 28 away from the coolant storage tank 10 is connected to the inside of the first mounting housing 23. This allows the coolant flowing out of the coolant storage tank 10 to enter the cavity between the first mounting housing 23 and the second mounting housing 25, and after cooling, it can return to the coolant storage tank 10, thus achieving cyclic cooling. A second motor 34 and a third motor 37 are mounted on the first fixed plate 11. The output end of the second motor 34 is keyed to a first gear 33, and the output end of the third motor 37 is keyed to a second gear 35 and a third gear 36 in sequence. The first gear 33 and the third gear 36 are both meshed with the arc-shaped rack 21, and the second gear 35 is meshed with the first gear tooth 26, so that the second motor 34 and the third motor 37 can drive the arc-shaped rack 21 and the second mounting housing 25 to rotate when they are running.
[0041] A second mounting plate 12 is fixedly installed on the coolant storage tank 10 on one side of the total reflection mirror 44. A third mounting housing 38 is fixedly installed on the side of the second mounting plate 12 closest to the total reflection mirror 44. A fourth mounting housing 39 is rotatably installed between the third mounting housing 38 and the second mounting plate 41. The fourth mounting housing 39 is in close contact with the third mounting housing 38, and an annular cavity is formed between them. A second gear 40 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the fourth mounting housing 39. A fourth motor 43 is fixedly installed on the second mounting plate 12. A fourth gear 42 is keyed to the output end of the fourth motor 43. The fourth gear 42 meshes with the second gear 40, so that the fourth motor 43 can drive the fourth mounting housing 39 to rotate synchronously when it runs. Similarly, the coolant storage tank 10 below the second mounting plate 12 is also connected to an inlet pipe 27 and an outlet pipe 28. The ends of the inlet pipe 27 and the outlet pipe 28 away from the coolant storage tank 10 are connected to the interior of the third mounting housing 38.
[0042] A first motor 17 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of either the left or right side of the fixed housing 1. A rotating block 18 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 17. A third hydraulic rod 46 is fixedly installed inside the lower part of the rotating block 18. The telescopic end of the third hydraulic rod 46 faces upward and is fixedly connected to a clamping device 45. A clamping groove that cooperates with the clamping device 45 is opened at the lower end of the sliding frame 13. A dustproof plate 19 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the fixed housing 1 below the rotating block 18. A baffle 20 is provided on the side of the dustproof plate 19 near the rotating block 18. An electric telescopic rod is installed below the baffle 20 for adjusting its height. The first motor 17, the rotating block 18, the dustproof plate 19 and the baffle 20 are located in the same vertical plane.
[0043] In use, the fixed housing 1 houses an output mirror 31 and a total reflection mirror 44. After the laser beam enters, its angle is changed by multiple total reflection mirrors 44, and it finally exits from the output mirror 31. Since the function of the output mirror 31 is to allow some laser light to pass through its surface while reflecting the remaining photons to maintain the optical amplification process within the resonant cavity, both sides of the output mirror 31 need to be unobstructed. In this device, the output mirror 31 is fixed by a first mounting plate 30 to ensure that both sides of the output mirror 31 are unobstructed. Then, the first mounting plate 30 is inserted into the fixed frame 29, and the final fixing is completed by inserting a locking block 32.
[0044] The coolant in the coolant storage tank 10 flows out through the inlet pipe 27 and then flows in through the outlet pipe 28 to cool the output mirror 31. When the output mirror 31 is in operation, the coolant is mainly delivered to the annular cavity between the first mounting housing 23 and the second mounting housing 25 through the inlet pipe 27. The coolant carries away the heat from the edge of the output mirror 31. During this process, the coolant is continuously replaced through the inlet pipe 27 and the outlet pipe 28 to ensure the cooling effect. At this time, only the coolant flows in the annular cavity between the first mounting housing 23 and the second mounting housing 25. This ensures the cooling effect while preventing mechanical vibration from being transmitted to the output mirror 31 through the cooling system, which could cause a slight displacement of the output mirror 31 and affect the laser effect.
[0045] When the laser stops working, the first mounting housing 23 is fixed to the first fixed plate 11 by the arc-shaped connecting block 24, the arc-shaped rack 21 is rotatably connected to the first mounting housing 23, and the first mounting housing 23 and the second mounting housing 25 are rotatably connected. After the second motor 34 and the third motor 37 start, the second gear 35 drives the second mounting housing 25 to rotate through the first gear 26, and the first gear 33 and the third gear 36 drive the air blowing pipe 22 to rotate through the arc-shaped rack 21. While the second mounting housing 25 on the outside of the output mirror 31 rotates, the coolant inside it also flows. At this time, the contact area between the second mounting housing 25 and the output mirror 31 changes periodically, so that heat can be more evenly diffused from the output mirror 31 to the second mounting housing 25, avoiding local overheating and accelerating heat dissipation efficiency. The rotation of the second mounting housing 25 also allows its various areas to bear the heat load in turn, ensuring that its overall temperature distribution tends to be uniform. Furthermore, when the second mounting housing 25 rotates, the air blowing pipe 22 also rotates synchronously. At this time, the gas flows along the surface of the output mirror 31 at a 0° angle (parallel to the mirror surface), carrying away heat and evenly covering the entire mirror surface. Forced convection cooling is achieved by blowing low-temperature gas parallel to the output mirror 31. This parallel airflow can quickly remove heat from the surface of the output mirror 31 while preventing dust adhesion. Simultaneously, the air blowing pipe 22 is unobstructed, and the arc-shaped connecting block 24 has ventilation holes, allowing the airflow to evenly and unobstructedly cover all areas of the mirror surface when the air blowing pipe 22 rotates, avoiding localized airflow attenuation.
[0046] The back surface (non-reflective surface) of the total reflection mirror 44 does not participate in the optical path, so blocking it will not directly affect the optical field distribution within the cavity. Therefore, the back surface of the total reflection mirror 44 can be fully covered. One end of the inlet pipe 27 and the outlet pipe 28 is connected to the third mounting housing 38, which is fixedly mounted on the second fixing plate 12. The fourth mounting housing 39 is rotatably connected to the third mounting housing 38. For cooling the total reflection mirror 44, when the laser is working, the coolant inside the coolant storage tank 10 flows into the space between the third mounting housing 38 and the fourth mounting housing 39 through the inlet pipe 27. The fourth mounting housing 39 covers both the back surface and the sides of the total reflection mirror 44. The center of the fourth mounting housing 39 directly contacts the area with the highest energy density of the light spot in the central region of the total reflection mirror 44, which can quickly dissipate the core heat. The sidewalls of the fourth mounting housing 39 directly contact the edges of the total reflection mirror 44, accelerating the lateral diffusion of heat. When the laser stops working, the fourth motor 43 is started to drive the fourth gear 42 to rotate. The fourth gear 42 then drives the fourth mounting housing 39 to rotate through the second gear 40. At this time, the coolant flows inside the fourth mounting housing 39. Meanwhile, the fourth mounting housing 39 rotates around the total reflection mirror 44. Through periodic contact and rotation, heat can be dissipated more effectively, avoiding local overheating.
[0047] When adjusting the output mirror 31 and the total reflection mirror 44, the first sliding block 5 has a retractable protrusion on its side, and the sliding frame 13 has a groove on its side that matches the protrusion. After the protrusion inside the first sliding block 5 is inserted into the sliding frame 13, the first lead screw 4 drives the first sliding block 5 to move, thereby driving the sliding frame 13 to move, thus adjusting the position of the output mirror 31 or the total reflection mirror 44 one by one. After the position is adjusted, the first hydraulic rod 2 is activated to drive the clamping plate 3 to press down, and the telescopic plate 16 is clamped by the fixed housing 1 and the clamping plate 3, thereby determining the relative position of the output mirror 31 and the total reflection mirror 44. Then, the output mirror 31 and the total reflection mirror 44 are adjusted in multiple dimensions one by one. The output mirror 31 and the total reflection mirror 44 are fixed to the coolant storage tank 10 by the fixing frame 29. The coolant storage tank 10 is rotatably mounted on the rotating platform 9, and the rotating platform 9 and the second sliding block 7 are connected by the second hydraulic rod 8. The left and right positions of the output mirror 31 and the total reflection mirror 44 can be adjusted by the second lead screw 6. The height of the output mirror 31 and the total reflection mirror 44 can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the second hydraulic rod 8. The output mirror 31 and the total reflection mirror 44 can be rotated by rotating the platform 9. Finally, the angle of the output mirror 31 and the total reflection mirror 44 can be finely adjusted by adjusting the rotation angle of the coolant storage tank 10, thus completing the multi-dimensional adjustment of the output mirror 31 and the total reflection mirror 44.
[0048] Furthermore, this device can adjust the number of internal mirrors in the resonant cavity, thereby enabling rapid conversion between a three-mirror folded cavity and a four-mirror folded cavity. The clamping device 45 is connected to the rotating block 18 via the third hydraulic rod 46. When switching is required, the output mirror 31 to be switched is moved above the rotating block 18 via the first lead screw 4, the first sliding block 5, and the sliding frame 13. Then, the third hydraulic rod 46 is activated to extend the clamping device 45. The sliding frame 13 has a clamping groove matching the clamping device 45. After the clamping device 45 extends into the sliding frame 13, it is activated to clamp the sliding frame 13. Then, the telescopic plate 16 is retracted, and the first motor 17 is activated to drive the rotating block 18 to rotate, thereby driving the output mirror 31 to rotate. After rotation, the output mirror 31 is located in the lower area inside the fixed housing 1. At this time, the dustproof plate 19 will cover the front of the output mirror 31 to protect it, reduce surface contamination of the output mirror 31, and extend its service life. Furthermore, the baffle 20 extends under the action of the electric telescopic rod to abut against the locking block 32, ensuring the stability of the output mirror 31. Additionally, when the output mirror 31 rotates to the lower position, the upper space is completely released, allowing the operator to independently adjust the position of the remaining output mirrors 31 without worrying about mechanical interference. This allows for flexible adjustment of the resonant cavity type by changing the number of output mirrors 31, improving the laser's adaptability. Moreover, for the three-mirror folding cavity, periodically rotating the output mirrors 31 can balance heat load and mechanical wear, extending the overall service life. If an output mirror 31 fails, the lower output mirror 31 can be replaced with the faulty one, quickly restoring operational capability.
