Abstract

Abstract : Large aperture planar optical elements are required in high power laser systems, and the mid-spatial frequency error of the surface of the high-power laser component will affect the normal operation of the high-power laser system. In recent years, there are many new MRF devices, but these devices only improve the removal efficiency of polishing materials and ignore the stability of MRF tools. As we all know, the fluctuation of the MRF polishing ribbon will affect the stability of the removal function, which will make the surface of the processed component produce the mid-spatial frequency error. Therefore, based on the array magnetorheological pole structure newly developed in our laboratory, this paper tests its magnetic field distribution and studies the influencing factors of array magnetorheological ribbon fluctuation. Based on the magnetic field force, the effects of magnetorheological fluid flow, polishing wheel speed, and magnetic pole structure on ribbon fluctuation are analyzed. Finally, by using the improved array magnetorheological device to obtain a stable removal function, the volume removal efficiency of fused silica reaches 0.022mm 3 /min, which verifies the feasibility of the improved device and doubles the removal efficiency of magnetorheological finishing of a single ribbon. Therefore, we use controlled magnetorheological processing flow and speed to control ribbon fluctuations and designing the magnetic pole structure, to control the stability of magnetorheological processing.
