Furthermore, features designated as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0025] As the instruction manual Figure 1As shown, the utility model provides an oblique through-hole processing system, comprising a laser 1 for outputting laser light, a beam expander 2, and a shaper 5 for shaping the laser beam into a Bessel beam, wherein the beam expander 2 is located on the laser emission path of the laser 1, and the shaper 5 is connected to an angle adjustment unit 4 for adjusting its installation tilt angle, and an optical path transmission mirror group 3 is provided between the beam expander 2 and the shaper 5, wherein an angle is formed between the incident light axis of the optical path transmission mirror group 3 and the output light axis of the optical path transmission mirror group 3, and the output light axis of the optical path transmission mirror group 3 is perpendicular to the shaper 5, and the optical path transmission mirror group 3 is perpendicular to the shaper 5. There is an angle between the optical axis of the output light from the shaper 5 and the surface of the workbench 6. In this embodiment, the laser beam adjusts the optical path transmission path through the optical path transmission mirror group. The intersection angle between the optical axis of the incident light from the optical path transmission mirror group and the optical axis of the output light from the optical path transmission mirror group is an acute angle. The laser light after passing through the optical path transmission mirror group is vertically incident on the shaper and is shaped into a Bessel beam by the shaper. The intersection angle between the optical axis of the output light from the shaper and the surface of the workbench is an acute angle. The Bessel beam is incident on the sample on the workbench at a certain angle, wherein the inclination angle of the Bessel beam is adapted to the inclination angle of the oblique through hole to be processed in the sample.

[0026] Specifically, the processing system in this embodiment is suitable for processing oblique through-holes, and is particularly suitable for processing through-holes of transparent brittle materials. The sample can be transparent glass, quartz, etc. The processing of the oblique through-hole on sample 8 is achieved by adjusting the laser path. The optical transmission mirror group 3 can adjust the transmission path of the laser beam. In this embodiment, the optical axis of the incident light of the optical transmission mirror group 3 is horizontal. After passing through the optical transmission mirror group 3, there is a certain angle between the optical axis of the outgoing light of the optical transmission mirror group and the vertical direction. The shaper 5 is located above the sample. The shaper installation tilt angle is adjusted so that the laser beam is perpendicular to the shaper 5. After the beam is shaped into a Bessel beam by the shaper 5, it acts on the sample at a certain angle, which can complete the processing of the oblique through-hole on the sample 8. As shown in the attached manual Figure 3 shown.

[0027] Preferably, the laser 1 is an ultrafast laser, which can be an infrared band laser or a green band laser, and the laser pulse width is 50fs-5ps. The laser beam emitted by the laser 1 passes through the shaper 5, and the shaper 5 can transform the Gaussian spot into a ring-shaped Bessel beam. The Bessel beam acts on the transparent sample, and cracks are not easily generated inside the sample, and the thermal impact is small. The micropores obtained after subsequent chemical etching have higher roundness, and the micropores processed by the Bessel beam have good consistency and high production efficiency, which is easy to achieve mass production.

[0028] In an optimized implementation method, the focal depth of the Bessel beam obtained by the shaper 5 is greater than the thickness of the sample 8. The Bessel beam has a certain focal depth, which is greater than the thickness of the sample. During the processing, the distance between the sample 8 and the shaper 5 is adjusted to ensure that the entire sample thickness is within the Bessel focal depth range. The Bessel beam can pass through the sample. The processing method is a pulse impact method, from top to bottom, and the processing of a single oblique through hole is completed instantly. There is no need for layered processing, and the micro-hole processing consistency is high.

[0029] Of course, this embodiment can also process samples whose thickness is greater than the focal depth of the Bessel beam, such as blind hole processing, or adjusting the distance between the sample and the shaper during processing. Multiple layered processing can complete through-hole processing of thicker samples.

[0030] In an optimized implementation method, the beam expander 2 is arranged at the laser output end of the laser 1, and can amplify the laser spot emitted by the laser. The beam expansion factor is determined according to the incident spot size required by the shaper 5, ensuring that the laser beam can enter the shaper 5 after being expanded by the beam expander 2.

[0031] Optimize the implementation method, as shown in the attached instructions Figure 2 As shown, the shaper 5 includes an axicon 51, a focusing lens 52 and an objective lens 53. The spacing between the focusing lens 52 and the objective lens 53 is adjustable. The axicon 51, the focusing lens 52 and the objective lens 53 are arranged in sequence along the transmission direction of the laser. The axicon 51, the focusing lens 52 and the objective lens 53 are integrated in the shell to form an integrated structure. The axicon 51, the focusing lens 52 and the objective lens 53 are coaxially arranged. During use, the tilt angle of the shell can be adjusted so that the laser beam after passing through the optical path transmission lens group 3 is vertically incident on the mirror surface of the axicon 51.

[0032] Preferably, one end of the axicon mirror 51 is conical, positioned toward the focusing lens 52. The axicon mirror 51 transforms the Gaussian spot into an annular Bessel beam. The focusing lens 52 and the objective lens 53 form a bi-telecentric structure, forming a Bessel beam with a specific depth of focus. The spacing between the focusing lens 52 and the objective lens 53 is adjustable, allowing fine-tuning of the Bessel beam's focal depth 55 to accommodate samples of varying thicknesses. In this embodiment, the Bessel beam has a focal depth of 0.5 mm to 3 mm. For samples up to 3 mm thick, the focal depth fully covers the sample thickness. The Bessel beam pulses the sample, creating a modified zone that completely penetrates the glass, completing the processing of the sample's oblique through-hole.

[0033] In an optimized implementation manner, the shaper 5 further includes a protective mirror 54, which is arranged on a side of the objective lens 53 away from the focusing lens 52. The protective mirror is arranged on the housing and is coaxially arranged with other lenses in the housing. The protective mirror 54 is preferably a quartz lens and is used to protect the objective lens 53.

[0034] In an optimized embodiment, the optical path transmission mirror assembly 3 includes multiple reflectors arranged sequentially along the transmission direction of the laser light. At least one of the reflectors has an adjustable pitch angle. The transmission path of the laser beam is adjusted via the reflectors. The mounting angle of the shaper 5 is adjusted according to the tilt angle of the oblique through-hole, allowing the beam to pass through the shaper 5 and act on the sample 8. The reflectors are adjusted so that the laser light emitted by the beam expander 2 is perpendicularly incident on the center of the shaper 5. The laser beam acts on the sample at a specific tilt angle, completing the processing of the oblique through-hole. In this embodiment, there are three reflectors. The number and placement of the reflectors can be adjusted based on actual conditions to ensure that the laser beam achieves the desired tilt angle after being reflected by each reflector in sequence.

[0035] Of course, the processing system in this embodiment can also complete the processing of vertical microholes. The shaper 5 is set vertically, and the laser beam is vertically incident on the shaper after passing through the optical path transmission mirror group 3. The Bessel beam obtained after being shaped by the shaper 5 acts vertically on the sample 8 to complete the processing of the vertical through hole of the sample 8.

[0036] Preferably, the pitch angle of at least one reflector in the optical path transmission mirror group 3 is adjustable. By adjusting the mirror tilt angle of the reflector, the transmission path of the optical path can be adjusted, and the angle between the laser beam and the sample 8 can be adjusted to realize the processing of oblique through holes with different tilt angles.

[0037] The installation angle of the shaper 5 can be achieved in the following two ways:

[0038] As one of the specific implementations, the angle adjustment unit 4 includes a rotary motor, and the shaper 5 is arranged at the output end of the rotary motor. The rotary motor can rotate, thereby driving the shaper 5 to rotate in a vertical plane to adjust its installation tilt angle.

[0039] As one of the specific embodiments, the angle adjustment unit 4 includes a mounting plate, on which two groups of mounting hole groups are provided in the longitudinal direction, each group of the mounting hole groups includes a number of mounting holes, and the mounting holes of the two groups of mounting hole groups are arranged one by one relative to each other. By selecting the upper and lower mounting holes, different installation inclination angles can be met, and the shaper is fixed on the mounting hole according to the set installation inclination angle.

[0040] The installation inclination angle of the shaper 5 can be adjusted by the above two methods to meet the needs of through-hole processing with different inclination angles.

[0041] In an optimized embodiment, the optical axis of the light emitted by the shaper 5 is tilted at a certain angle relative to the vertical, and the tilt angle is not greater than 20°. The angle between the laser beam used for sample processing and the vertical is determined according to the actual oblique through hole to be processed in the sample.

[0042] The optimized embodiment further includes a workbench 6 for placing a sample 8, connected to a motion platform 7 for adjusting its spatial position. The motion platform 7 is preferably a three-dimensional motion platform, capable of adjusting the spatial position of the workbench along the X, Y, and Z axes, thereby adjusting the spatial position of the sample 8. The motion platform drives the sample up and down to position the sample at the center of the focal depth of the Bessel beam, enabling the processing of different patterns through X, Y, and Z axis motion. The motion platform 7 is an existing motion platform, and therefore will not be described in detail here.

[0043] In an optimized embodiment, the workbench 6 is preferably a suction-type workbench. A cavity is defined within the workbench 6 , and a plurality of suction holes are formed on the workbench 6 , communicating with the cavity. The cavity is connected to a negative pressure vacuum device via a gas pipeline. When the negative pressure vacuum device is activated, the sample 8 is suctioned onto the workbench 6 , preventing sample 8 from shifting during processing and ensuring accurate micro-hole processing.

[0044] The optimized implementation method also includes a control unit 9. The laser 1, rotating motor, motion platform 7 and negative pressure vacuum equipment are electrically connected to the control unit respectively. The control unit can send action instructions to turn the laser on and off and stabilize the pulse output. The rotating motor can be rotated to a set position according to the inclination angle of the inclined through hole of the sample, and the motion platform can also be moved according to the control instructions to complete the inclined through hole processing.

[0045] The operating principle of the oblique through-hole machining system of the present invention is to adjust the mounting tilt angle of the shaper 5 according to the oblique through-hole angle of the sample to be machined, ensuring that the Bessel beam is at the desired angle relative to the vertical direction. The reflector is adjusted so that the laser beam is incident perpendicularly into the shaper 5. The motion platform 7 is adjusted so that the sample 8 is within the focal depth of the Bessel beam, and the sample 8 is adsorbed on the workbench 6. Laser 1 is turned on, and the Gaussian light emitted by laser 1 is amplified by the center of the beam expander 2. The amplified Gaussian light is then deflected by the optical transmission mirror assembly 3 and incident perpendicularly into the shaper. The Gaussian light is shaped by the shaper into a Bessel beam with a fixed focal depth. The Bessel beam acts on the sample, completing the oblique through-hole machining of the sample.

[0046] In this application, a Bessel beam shaped with ultra-high peak power density is used for processing, which instantly acts on the inside of the transparent material to form a tiny laser-modified channel. Based on the anisotropic corrosion rate characteristics of the modified and non-modified areas, a higher aspect ratio and a controllable morphology through-hole can be obtained through chemical etching in the subsequent corrosion treatment after laser processing.

[0047] Meanwhile, the contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0048] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention may be implemented in many other specific forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Although embodiments of the present invention have been described, it should be understood that the present invention should not be limited to these embodiments, and those skilled in the art may make changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
