Description
技术领域technical field
本发明涉及脉冲测量领域,具体涉及一种多窗口脉冲测量装置及方法。The invention relates to the field of pulse measurement, in particular to a multi-window pulse measurement device and method.
背景技术Background technique
超短脉冲的脉宽远远小于现有光电探测器的响应时间,为了测量超短脉冲的时间波形,通常将激光脉冲的时间信息通过光学非线性作用,转换为空间信息,根据转换的空间信息间接获取脉冲的时间信息。常用的测量方法包括强度自相关法、光克尔快门、频率分辨光学门(FROG)、光谱相位干涉直接电场重建法(SPIDER)等。The pulse width of ultrashort pulses is much smaller than the response time of existing photodetectors. In order to measure the time waveform of ultrashort pulses, the time information of laser pulses is usually converted into spatial information through optical nonlinearity. Indirectly obtain the time information of the pulse. Commonly used measurement methods include intensity autocorrelation method, optical Kerr shutter, frequency resolved optical gate (FROG), spectral phase interference direct electric field reconstruction method (SPIDER) and so on.
对重复频率的激光脉冲,可以通过逐点扫描的方法来测量其对比度,这种测量技术已经相对成熟,测量的对比度可以达到109以上,测量时间窗口可到ns量级。随着激光能量的不断提高,大功率激光器的脉冲重复频率变得很低乃至为单脉冲状态,无法通过扫描方式来测量。单脉冲测量一般利用脉冲波前在非线性晶体中的交叉重叠来产生延时,将脉冲时间信息转换为一维空间信息。但两束光的交叉角度受到空间走离效应、相位匹配等条件的限制,使得测量时间窗口受到限制。For laser pulses with repetition rate, the contrast can be measured by point-by-point scanning. This measurement technology is relatively mature. The measured contrast can reach more than 10 9 , and the measurement time window can reach the order of ns. With the continuous increase of laser energy, the pulse repetition frequency of high-power lasers becomes very low or even in a single-pulse state, which cannot be measured by scanning. Single-pulse measurement generally utilizes the cross-overlap of pulse wavefronts in nonlinear crystals to generate time delays and convert pulse time information into one-dimensional spatial information. However, the cross angle of the two beams is limited by the spatial walk-off effect, phase matching and other conditions, so that the measurement time window is limited.
受时间窗口和分辨率限制,目前仅能获取200ps内的大动态超短脉冲时间波形信息,200ps外的噪声以及预脉冲信息尚不能得到有效评估;利用大动态光电管可以测量ns范围超短脉冲的动态范围,受探测器分辨率限制,光电管测量法将丢失波形信息;利用光栅、棱镜、标准具等,使脉冲波前倾斜,可以在不增加光束交叉角度的情况下增加脉冲波前的交叉角度,提供大的时间窗口,但同时会牺牲测量分辨率。当脉冲带宽很宽时,角色散如何在不牺牲测量分辨率的情况下,增加超短脉冲的测量窗口,解决测量分辨率与测量时间窗口不能兼顾的问题,具有重要的研究意义和实际应用价值。Limited by the time window and resolution, currently only the time waveform information of large dynamic ultra-short pulses within 200ps can be obtained, and the noise and pre-pulse information beyond 200ps cannot be effectively evaluated; using large dynamic photocells can measure ultra-short pulses in the ns range Due to the limitation of detector resolution, the photocell measurement method will lose waveform information; using gratings, prisms, etalons, etc. to incline the pulse wavefront, the pulse wavefront can be increased without increasing the beam crossing angle. Crossover angles, providing a large time window, but at the expense of measurement resolution. When the pulse bandwidth is very wide, how to increase the measurement window of the ultrashort pulse without sacrificing the measurement resolution, and to solve the problem that the measurement resolution and the measurement time window cannot be taken into account, has important research significance and practical application value .

步骤4:三次谐波脉冲经狭缝11滤波后,通过衰减片12按比例降低脉冲信噪比,再通过第二反射镜13入射至中继镜14、通过第三反射镜15入射至偏振分光棱镜16进行滤波。Step 4: After the third harmonic pulse is filtered by the
步骤5:通过偏振分光棱镜16的三次谐波脉冲经第二滤波片17滤波后,由CCD18接收并记录,得到多个窗口的脉冲数据;通过计算机19将多个窗口的脉冲数据中强度相关数据进行拼接合成及处理,得到所测量的脉冲波形。为了实现拼接,窗口大小Г需大于各窗口之间的时间间隔T,即相邻两个窗口之间部分重合。Step 5: After the third harmonic pulse passing through the polarization
图4所示为脉冲波前交叉重叠图,其中,基频脉冲I1与二次谐波脉冲I2以某一交叉角度入射在厚度为Lc的非线性晶体上。因两束光的波前与光束传播方向垂直,相应的脉冲波前于晶体内以与光束相同的交叉角度相互重叠。在x方向上,两脉冲的波前逐渐分离,产生时间延迟。在菱形中心位置,基频脉冲I1与二次谐波脉冲I2同时到达,没有延时。在中心位置上方,二次谐波脉冲I2比基频脉冲I1超前,产生负的延时,且越偏离中心位置,延时量越大。在中心位置下方,二次谐波脉冲I2比基频脉冲I1滞后,产生正的延时。FIG. 4 is a cross-overlapping diagram of the pulse wavefronts, wherein the fundamental frequency pulse I 1 and the second harmonic pulse I 2 are incident on a nonlinear crystal with a thickness of Lc at a certain cross angle. Since the wavefronts of the two beams are perpendicular to the beam propagation direction, the corresponding pulse wavefronts overlap each other at the same crossing angle as the beams in the crystal. In the x-direction, the wavefronts of the two pulses are gradually separated, resulting in a time delay. At the center of the rhombus, the fundamental frequency pulse I 1 arrives at the same time as the second harmonic pulse I 2 without delay. Above the center position, the second harmonic pulse I 2 is ahead of the fundamental frequency pulse I 1 , resulting in a negative delay, and the further away from the center position, the greater the delay. Below the center position, the second harmonic pulse I 2 lags the fundamental frequency pulse I 1 , resulting in a positive delay.
脉冲时间延迟量τ与x方向位移信息的对应关系为:The corresponding relationship between the pulse time delay τ and the displacement information in the x direction is:
τ=2nx sin(γ/2)/cτ=2nx sin(γ/2)/c
式中n为晶体折射率,γ为光束在晶体内的交叉角度,c为光速。where n is the refractive index of the crystal, γ is the cross angle of the beam in the crystal, and c is the speed of light.
由上式可以看出,时间分辨率Δτ,即能分辨的最小延时量,由探测器最小单元尺寸ds以及脉冲波前在晶体内的交叉角度γ决定,即It can be seen from the above formula that the time resolution Δτ, that is, the minimum delay amount that can be resolved, is determined by the minimum unit size ds of the detector and the crossing angle γ of the pulse wavefront in the crystal, that is,
Δτ=2nds sin(γ/2)/cΔτ=2nd s sin(γ/2)/c
通过上述方法即可实现将时间强度相关信号转换为空间强度相关信号,探测器上的强度相关信号为:Through the above method, the time intensity related signal can be converted into the spatial intensity related signal, and the intensity related signal on the detector is:
G(αx)=C∫I1(αx)[I1(t-αx)]2dtG(αx)=C∫I 1 (αx)[I 1 (t-αx)] 2 dt
其中,in,
α=2n sin(γ/2)/cα=2n sin(γ/2)/c
C为常数,I1(αx)为基频脉冲I1的表达式,t为时间,α为时间坐标和空间分布坐标的转换系数。C is a constant, I 1 (αx) is the expression of the fundamental frequency pulse I 1 , t is the time, and α is the conversion coefficient between the time coordinate and the spatial distribution coordinate.
时间窗口大小Г,即波前交叉产生的最大延时量,由光束直径D和晶体内交叉角度γ决定,有The time window size Г, that is, the maximum delay amount generated by the wavefront crossing, is determined by the beam diameter D and the cross angle γ in the crystal.
Γ=2nD tan(γ/2)/cΓ=2nD tan(γ/2)/c
可以看出,光束直径D和探测器尺寸固定后,若要提高测量分辨率,只有减小脉冲波前交叉角度,但另一方面,测量时间窗口会随之变小。It can be seen that if the beam diameter D and the detector size are fixed, the only way to improve the measurement resolution is to reduce the pulse wavefront crossing angle, but on the other hand, the measurement time window will be reduced accordingly.
图5所示为脉冲相对延时示意图,当调节其中一路光束如I1使之相对I2有一定延时T时,此时,探测器上强度相关信号产生相应的位移x。Figure 5 shows a schematic diagram of the relative delay of pulses. When one of the beams such as I1 is adjusted to have a certain delay T relative to I2 , at this time, the intensity-related signal on the detector produces a corresponding displacement x.
图6所示为本发明脉冲序列和频过程示意图,其中,三束基频脉冲序列和三束倍频脉冲序列以一定的交叉角度在和频晶体7上重叠,产生三束强度相关信号,分别对应待测窗口1至待测窗口3,通过延时调节,待测窗口1的基频信号相对于倍频信号滞后时间2T,待测窗口2的基频信号相对于倍频信号滞后时间T,待测窗口3的基频信号与倍频信号同步。Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of the sum-frequency process of the pulse sequence of the present invention, wherein, three beams of fundamental frequency pulse sequence and three beams of frequency-doubling pulse sequence are overlapped on the sum-
图7所示为本发明多个窗口拼接测量示意图,由阶梯反射组件4形成多个待测窗口,将CCD接收的各个窗口的强度相关数据进行合成及处理,进而获得大的时间测量范围;对各脉冲所在的待测窗口大幅衰减以降低相关信号的信噪比,从而实现低动态范围器件对高信噪比脉冲的测量;为了实现拼接,窗口大小Г需大于各窗口之间的时间间隔T。Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram showing the splicing measurement of multiple windows in the present invention. A plurality of windows to be measured are formed by the stepped reflection component 4, and the intensity-related data of each window received by the CCD is synthesized and processed to obtain a large time measurement range; The measurement window where each pulse is located is greatly attenuated to reduce the signal-to-noise ratio of related signals, so as to realize the measurement of high-signal-to-noise ratio pulses by low dynamic range devices; in order to achieve splicing, the window size Г needs to be larger than the time interval T between each window .
