  • 本文基于人工智能算法提出了一种宽稳区大模场激光振荡器的优化设计方法. 通过构建谐振腔的光场传播模型, 设计了多目标优化函数, 并利用人工智能算法对腔段长度、透镜焦距及高斯镜选型多个维度进行全局优化. 在设定的热焦距范围内, 本文对模拟退火、粒子群优化和遗传算法等多种算法进行比对, 最终实现了复杂多维参数空间中最优解的高效搜索. 经过实验验证, 优化后的谐振腔在长度为540 mm的腔长范围内实现了100 Hz和190 mJ, 光束质量为M_x^2 = 2.1, M_y^2 = 1.9的7 ns脉宽的激光输出. 优化后的谐振腔热稳定曲线在大模场运转区间的斜率显著变缓, 有效扩大了谐振腔的热稳区, 从而保障了高重复频率激光器的稳定运行. 该研究有望为宽稳区大模场纳秒激光振荡器的设计提供参考.

     

    This study presents an optimization method of generating a wide stable-zone, large mode field operation nanosecond laser oscillator based on artificial intelligence algorithms. The work is motivated by the need of the large mode field laser cavities in compact size with variable thermal focal length. A physics model of light field propagation inside the resonator is established by combining thermal lensing tolerance. A multi-objective optimization function is designed to simultaneously balance the beam quality, thermal stability, and cavity compactness. Several algorithms, such as simulated annealing, particle swarm optimization, and genetic algorithms are compared, and ultimately, efficient searching for optimal solutions in complex multi-dimensional parameter spaces is achieved. In the system design, the parameters of cavity segment length, intracavity lens, and Gaussian mirror (VRM) are optimized. Therefore, an optimized cavity structure is experimentally implemented and Q-switching operations are perform. The results demonstrate stable laser output at 100 Hz repetition rate with 190 mJ pulse energy and 7 ns pulse width, and beam quality factors M_x^2 = 2.1 and M_y^2 = 1.9 respectively, and the total length of the cavity is only 540 mm, which demonstrates the compactness of laser design. Furthermore, numerical simulations are conducted to compare a variety of resonator configurations and assess the influence of different parameters on the cavity’s thermal stability. After the optimization, the thermal stability curve of the laser resonator shows a significant decrease in slope near the large-mode-field region, indicating an improvement in thermal length adaptability. This enhancement is crucial for ensuring long-term stable operation of high-repetition-rate nanosecond laser oscillators. In summary, this study provides an efficient approach for designing compact, thermally stable, large-mode-area resonators, and valuable insights into designing compact laser with high power output.
