According to the special requirements of combination film in 10kW diode laser cladding source, the polarization combination film at 915nm was designed and grew. Film system is designed at different film materials based on the design theory. The non-QWOT film is optimized using the needle optimization and double sided coating by Optilayer software. The film was used in the 10kW diode laser source after high temperature aging testing. The film formed by Ta2O5 is very stable under IBAD, which can meet the reliability of 10kW diode laser cladding source in industry
In order to research the laser damage mechanism of high transmission single layer optical thin film for fused silica glass, finite element method was used to calculate laser induced damage threshold (LIDT) and an optical test system with a nanosecond solid-state lasers was set up to determine the LIDT according to standard of ISO 11254. Firstly, finite element model was created at COMSOL multi-physics software and the temperature of inclusion in the optical thin film was calculated with different physical parameter. It is found that temperature at center of the inclusion firstly decreases and then increase with the increasing of inclusion depth. It is also found that the temperature constantly increase with the radius increasing from 20nm to 100nm. Moreover, the inclusion temperature for MgF2 thin film is higher than that of CaF2 thin film. Lastly, LIDT were measured by the optical test system, and the average value of LIDT is 3.7J/cm2 for MgF2 thin film and 4.6J/cm2 for CaF2 thin film, which is well fit with the value calculated by COMSOL software. The study shows that finite element method is an effective method to calculate LIDT for optical thin film and impurity has significant impact on the LIDT of optical thin film and therefore decreasing the density of the impurity would increase the LIDT of the thin film.
Thermal effect of diode-pumped solid-state lasers (DPSSL) based on YAP/Tm:YAP composite crystal is studied by
using of finite element method (FEM). It is found that the peak temperature in a composite rod decreases to less than
80% of that in a non-composite crystal. Thermal stress of composite rod is obviously reduced to less than 70%
comparing with non-composite crystal. It is also demonstrated that length of thermal lens unchanged with increasing of
un-doped crystal length, which means that beam quality of composite laser wouldn’t be improved by non-composite
crystal. Therefore, it is concluded that using composite crystal would benefit for the properties of temperature and heat
stress while insignificance for beam quality of DPSSL.
