空间高功率激光二极管泵浦源阵列的相变热控系统

为了实现空间高功率激光二极管泵浦源阵列的快速散热,建立了空间高功率激光二极管泵浦源阵列相变热控系统,对热控系统的热界面材料(TIM)、紫铜热沉、相变材料、相变增强材料、主动加热回路和太空辐射板进行了研究与设计。首先,介绍了激光二极管泵浦源阵列的热特性与热控指标,从而提出热控设计思路,详细设计了热控系统,并在有无泡沫铜填空的条件下制定了两种热控方案。然后,用NX软件分析了两种不同的方案。分析结果显示:不填充泡沫铜方案的整个相变过程在800 s完成,LD上的温度最高达到59.98℃,相变材料上表面温度最高达到47.12℃;填充泡沫铜方案在200 s内完成相变过程,LD最高温度为38.35℃,并且LD在360 s后和相变温度点温度一致。填充泡沫铜方案可以满足10~40℃的温度指标要求。最后,根据填充泡沫铜方案设计加工了激光二极管泵浦源阵列热控系统,通过实验验证,该系统可以满足空间高功率激光二极管泵浦源阵列快速散热要求。

Evolution of low-frequency noise passing through a spatial filter in a high power laser system

The theoretical model of spatial noise passing through a spatial filter is established in high power laser system under the small signal approximation. The transmission characteristic for a noise signal passing through spatial filters with different magnifications is analyzed by numerical simulation, according to the actual structure of the high power laser system. The results show that the spatial modulation period of low-frequency noise getting through the pinhole will be proportional to the magnification of the spatial filter. When the magnification is less than 1, the safe low-frequency noise will be extruded into the high-frequency region, which is the fast increasing part, and finally develops into the most dangerous part which can damage the optical devices. The conclusion of this research improves the relay imaging theory of a spatial filter and provides an important theoretical basis for a general design of high power laser systems.
