Thermal deformation phase measurement of Al2O3 ceramic substrate at the circumstance of thermal load was estimated based on the ESPI. In the experiment, four ESPI fringe patterns at different moment at the beginning of the experiment were captured. The RBF filtering method and the fringe skeleton method with RBF interpolating were used to estimating the thermal deformation phase measurement. The acquiring out-of-plane displacements by our method were in good agreement with the real deformation under the stepped-up thermal load gradually. This measurement can provide assistance for studying the performance of ceramic substrate in the process of laser processing.","PeriodicalId":197837,"journal":{"name":"SPIE/SIOM Pacific Rim Laser Damage","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134366944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As one of main parts of focusing mechanism, the flexible hinge is mounted in the focusing shaft and connected to the nuts of ball screw kinematic pair which has mechanical end stops. The focusing shaft is guided by two couples of thin film boards to ensure the precise displacement along optical axis direction. The secondary mirror frame is connected to the shaft to complete focusing. Firstly, the focusing mechanism is designed, and the design scheme is illustrated in this paper.

The theoretical analysis and computer simulation of the energy error, the focused spot size error and the beam quality on the film damage threshold influences. A method based on the Shack-Hartman wave-front detection method is proposed to measure the pulsed laser beam parameters. The working principle is described in detail, and the Shack-Hartman beam shape parameter measurement system is designed. The actual output energy of the laser and the size of the focused spot were measured experimentally, and the uncertainty of the film damage threshold was evaluated according to the statistical principle. The results shows that the energy error and the focused spot error are directly proportional to the damage threshold error, and M 2 is inversely related to the damage threshold. From the thin film sample analysis, the relative uncertainty of the damage threshold measurement is 18.78%.
