摘要
本文基于宽频带激光在透镜中的衍射传输理论,针对国内多程放大结构的高能拍瓦激光系统设计,研究了大口径透镜导致的脉冲时间延迟(PTD)对宽频带激光焦斑时空特性的影响.研究发现,当宽带激光口径达到360 mm×360 mm时,透镜导致的最大PTD约为2.5 ps,当在3.2 nm的傅里叶变换极限带宽下脉冲宽度为0.5 ps和光束质量为1倍衍射极限(DL)时,聚焦过程时空耦合效应最强,时间波形发生畸变的同时,90%的能量集中度对应的焦斑尺寸也将增加一倍;但当压缩脉冲宽度在≥1 ps或远场光束质量不小于5倍 DL时,焦斑的时空耦合效应变弱,PTD带来的影响可以忽略.该研究结果将为国内高能拍瓦激光系统的透镜色差补偿和聚焦性能提升提供重要的理论依据.
Abstract
The influence of pulse time delay(PTD)caused by the large-diameter lens on the spatiotemporal characteristics of a broadband laser focal spot is studied to design a high-energy laser system.To this end,diffraction transmission theory of broadband lasers in lenses,which is used in high-energy petawatt laser system with multi-pass amplified structure,is employed.It is found that when the aperture of the broadband laser reaches 360 mm×360 mm,the maximum PTD caused by the lens is approximately 2.5 ps.The spatiotemporal coupling effect peaks when the pulse width is 0.5 ps under the Fourier-transform-limit bandwidth of 3.2 nm and the beam quality is 1 diffraction-limited(DL).The time waveform is distorted,and the focal spot size corresponding to 90%energy concentration is doubled.However,when the compressed pulse width is more than 1 ps or the far-field beam quality is≥5 DL,the spatiotemporal coupling effect weakens,and the influence of the PTD on focus can be neglected.The research results provide an important theoretical basis for the lens chromatic aberration compensation and fosus performance improvement of domestic high-energy petawatt laser systems.
