Description

Technical Field

[0002] At present, existing acousto-optic devices such as Figure 1 As shown, it is mainly composed of a heat sink 1a, a bracket 2a, an acousto-optic crystal medium 3a, a matching circuit 4a, an ultrasonic generating part 5a, etc.

[0003] The ultrasonic generating part 5a includes a bottom electrode, a piezoelectric transducer 51a, and a surface electrode 52a, and the bottom electrode and the surface electrode 52a are both made of gold, silver, etc. Usually, a metal wire 6a (for example, copper, iron, gold, etc.) is welded between the surface electrode 52a and the matching circuit 4a, so that the ultrasonic generating part 5a and the matching circuit 4a are electrically connected.

[0004] In the design of acousto-optic devices, diffraction efficiency is one of the important parameters. According to the diffraction efficiency formula:

[0005]

[0006] It can be seen that reducing the surface electrode width H can improve the diffraction efficiency, and the surface electrode width H is related to the spot size of the incident laser and is generally slightly larger than the diameter of the incident spot.

[0007] If the width of the solder joint of the metal wire 6a is greater than the width of the surface electrode 52a, as Figure 2 As shown, it is equivalent to increasing the actual width of the surface electrode, which leads to a decrease in the diffraction efficiency η. In addition, the solder joint will also contact the piezoelectric transducer 51a (material that can produce piezoelectric effect). Due to the different materials in contact, the solder joint has a low degree of firmness, and the solder joint of the metal wire is prone to problems such as cold soldering or desoldering.

[0041] The first elastic conductive sheet 2 and the second elastic conductive sheet 3 both have an elastic section 21 located between the positioning block 1 and the bottom electrode 41, and a contact portion 22 protruding toward the bottom electrode 41; the contact portion 22 of the first elastic conductive sheet 2 is elastically squeezed and matched with the surface electrode 43, and the contact portion 22 of the second elastic conductive sheet 3 is elastically squeezed and matched with the bottom electrode 41.

[0042] The acousto-optic device adopts a design form of a positioning block 1, a first elastic conductive sheet 2, a second elastic conductive sheet 3, a bottom electrode 41, a piezoelectric transducer 42 and a surface electrode 43. The first elastic conductive sheet 2 and the second elastic conductive sheet 3 are respectively fixed on the positioning block 1, the bottom electrode 41 is arranged at intervals from the positioning block 1, and the bottom electrode 41, the piezoelectric transducer 42 and the surface electrode 43 are sequentially stacked and arranged in a direction close to the positioning block 1. The first elastic conductive sheet 2 and the second elastic conductive sheet 3 are located between the positioning block 1 and the bottom electrode 41, and are used to achieve conductive connection with the surface electrode 43 and the bottom electrode 41 through the two elastic conductive sheets.

[0043] Among them, both elastic conductive sheets have an elastic segment 21 located between the positioning block 1 and the bottom electrode 41, and a contact portion 22 protruding toward the bottom electrode 41. The elastic segment 21 of the first elastic conductive sheet 2 is used to make the contact portion 22 produce an elastic squeezing effect on the surface electrode 43, which not only realizes the conductive connection between the first elastic conductive sheet 2 and the surface electrode 43, but also ensures the diffraction efficiency of the acousto-optic device.

As a further preferred embodiment, the extrusion force between the first elastic conductive sheet 2 and the surface electrode 43 is 80-120 gf.

[0049] The other embodiments of the present invention are different from the above embodiments of the present invention in that the U-shaped opening 20 of the first elastic conductive sheet 2 and the U-shaped opening 20 of the second elastic conductive sheet 3 are arranged opposite to each other.
