Özet

Dynamic and precise control of laser energy is crucial for laboratory testing of advanced laser based electro-optical systems. We have developed and characterized a novel Laser Electro-Opto-Mechanical System (LEOMS) that addresses this need by providing pulse-to-pulse energy adjustment over a wide dynamic range (1 nJ to 2 mJ) at 1064 nm wavelength. LEOMS is a laser energy controller system which involves multi-polarizer optical architecture. This system utilizes an empirical calibration model for accurate attenuation results. The system also provides a dynamic energy stabilization or static energy calibration tool to enhance repeatability and accuracy in the long-term testing conditions. The real-time energy feedback tool of LEOMS allows more reliable and precise testing environment. The performance analysis has demonstrated that LEOMS offers a comprehensive solution for the cost-effective development and validation of next-generation advanced electro-optical systems.
