In high-power laser systems (HPLSs), understanding debris-removal trajectories is important in eliminating debris from the surfaces of transport mirrors online and keeping other optical components free from contamination. NS equations, the RNG k–" model and the discrete phase model of the Euler–Lagrange method are used to conduct numerical simulations on the trajectories of contaminant particles of different sizes and types on the mirror surface using Fluent commercial software. A useful device is fabricated based on the simulation results. This device can capture and collect debris from the mirror surface online. Consequently, the effect of debris contamination on other optical components is avoided, cleaning time is shortened, and ultimately, the cleanliness of the mirrors in HPLSs is ensured.

高功率固体激光装置中正常光束的残余反射将形成能量较大的鬼点,它们极易对元器件造成损害,因此对一阶及多阶鬼点的位置作定量分析对高功率激光系统设计是非常必要的。采用将近轴分析与实际光线追迹相结合的分析方法,对神光Ⅲ原型装置进行了一套完整的杂散光分析。首先在近轴条件下对系统中可能产生的一阶至多阶鬼点进行了全面的计算和定位,列出其来源和鬼点较集中的区域,如普克尔盒一个窗口的前表面附近鬼点能量比较集中,然后通过大量的实际光线追迹对这些元件进行重点考察,模拟其表面的能量分布,为如何减小鬼点数目,从而避免鬼点能量造成的损伤提供了详尽的数据参考。
