摘要
在高能重复频率运转的激光系统中,用作激光隔离、多程放大控制的关键单元普克尔盒遇到了通光口径限制与热效应的双重挑战。采用等离子体电极技术将普克尔盒定标到大口径,通过选择吸收系数小且通光方向薄的KD*P作为电光晶体以减少对激光的吸收,并在此基础上数值分析了等离子体普克尔盒的热效应。提出了端面传导冷却电光晶体的热管理方法,并进行优化设计。数值模拟结果显示,采用单块白宝石传导冷却2块KD*P,普克尔盒的驱动电压可降低至27 kV。在平均功率密度35 W/cm2的激光持续辐照下,端面传导冷却的40 mm×40 mm口径等离子体普克尔盒全口径内最大退偏损耗为0.22%,波前峰谷(PV)值为0.60 λ。
Abstract
In high average power laser system, electro-optic switches encounter both limitation of aperture and thermo-effects. Plasma-electrodes technology is adopted to scale the switch to large aperture, and thin KD*P is used as electro-optic crystal to reduce absorption of the laser. Based on analyzing themo-effects, a mean of end-face conduction-cooling the KD*P is arised, and optimum design is done. Numerical simulation results show that, by adopting one piece of sapphire to cool two pieces of KD*P, the required switch-voltage could be reducd to 27 kV. For 35 W/cm2 average power density laser, the maximum depolarization in the end-face conduction-cooled switch, which has a 40 mm×40 mm aperture, is 0.22%, and the peak to valley(PV) value is 0.60 λ. These perturbations are acceptable to meet the design requirements.
