Measurement of thermal distortion in high power laser glass elements using ptychography

Abstract: The heat generated in the cavity of the high power slab laser amplifier makes it less stable and induces a thermal-lens effect which adds a spherical phase distribution to the wave-front of the laser beam. The commonly employed interferometry or Hartmann-Shack sensor based measurements are unable to provide an accurate measurement of the thermal distortion of the gain medium. It is demonstrated that this problem can be solved using a scheme based on ptychographical iterative engine. The complex transmittance o… Show more

“…The method of ptychography has already been used to measure the thermal distortion in high-power laser glass elements. 27 However, the data acquisition speed of conventional ptychography cannot meet the temporal precision requirements of the thermal recovery process. Thus, the proposed method with a much faster acquisition speed is definitely an advantage in such cases.…”

“…Like conventional photoelastisity method, the fast axis of Q2 and the polarization axis of L2 is set at various angles γ and β to record the birefringent sample information under different states. In each state, the data collection process is similar to that in extended PIE (ePIE) [12,14], where an extra diffractive object is scanned relative to the probe, and a sequence of diffraction patterns is recorded in the far field by a CCD camera.…”

“…As an increasingly popular phase retrieval technique, ptychography can reconstruct the amplitudes and phases of diffractive object simultaneously, which provides a promising stress measurement method with simple structure, high immunity to noise and high spatial resolution [10][11][12][13][14][15]. Recently, some measurement methods based on ptychography for stress birefringence have been proposed [16][17][18][19][20].…”
