摘要: 针对紫外、可见、红外等激光器输出功率测试需求,提出一种由传热体、吸收层、绝缘层和热电偶构成的热电堆型激光功率计。结合热效应和塞贝克效应理论,采用Solidworks三维设计软件构建不同关键结构尺寸的模型,通过ANSYS Workbench仿真软件建立了热电耦合仿真分析模型,分析关键结构尺寸参数对输出电压以及温度分布的影响关系。采用机械加工、镀膜和喷砂工艺设计热电堆型激光功率计,设计封装结构和电路补偿对输出电压进行放大和校准,结果表明,传热体厚度、热偶条对数和长度都是影响激光功率计输出电压的关键性因素。Abstract: To address the need to test the output power of ultraviolet, visible, and infrared lasers, this study proposes a thermopile laser power meter composed of a heat transfer body, an absorption layer, an insulating layer, and a thermocouple. Combining the thermal effect and Seebeck effect theory, Solidworks 3D design software is used to build models of different key structure sizes, and a thermoelectric coupling simulation analysis model is established using ANSYS Workbench simulation software to analyze the influence of key structure size parameters on the output voltage and temperature distribution. The thermopile laser power meter is designed using mechanical processing, coating, and sandblasting, and the package structure and circuit compensation are designed to amplify and calibrate the output voltage. The results show that the key factors affecting the output voltage of the laser power meter are the thickness of the heat transfer body, the number of thermal couples, and the length of the thermal couple.
