초록
상업용 회절 광학 소자를 통한 레이저 빔결합 연구를 위해 시드 공유형 3 채널 광섬유 레이저와 위상 제어 시스템을 제작하였다. 회절 광학 소자에 입사되는 빔의 각도를 조절하여 빔결합을 실시하고, 이 때 각 빔의 위상을 제어하여 결합된 빔의 세기가 최대가 되도록 하였다. 소자를 투과하기 전 3 채널 레이저의 출력은 약 65 mW이다. 결합된 빔의 세기는 각 채널의 위상 변화에 따라 2.9–48.3 mW로 변화하였으며, 45초 간의 위상제어를 통해 결합된 빔의 출력은 42 mW로 전체 시간의 91.8% 이상의 구간에서 출력을 유지할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 더 나아가 향후 회절 광학 소자의 효율을 높이고 위상 제어 시스템의 성능을 개선함으로써 빔결합 효율을 더 높일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
Abstract
We developed a 3-channel fiber laser with a common seed and a phase control system for laser beam combining through a diffractive optical element. Beam combining was performed by adjusting the angles of the beams incident on the diffractive optical elements, and the phase of each beam was controlled to maximize the intensity of the combined laser beam. The power of the 3-channel laser before passing through the diffractiveoptical elements is about 65 mW. The power of the combined beam varied between 2.9 mW to 48.3 mW depending on the phase change of each channel. Through phase control, the output of the combined beam can be maintained at 42 mW for more than 91.8% of the total time. It is expectedthat higher combining efficiency can be achieved by improving the transmittance of the diffractive optical elements and the performance of the phasecontrol system.
