Background
Laser (beam) pointing stability is defined in the national standard as the 2-fold standard deviation of the angular movement of the laser beam in the vertical propagation direction. Due to the influence of various small disturbances, the angle of the mirror in the actual optical path may change, so that the finally emitted laser light is unstable and shifts. This stability of the laser beam can also be approximated by counting the coordinate shift of the spot projection of the beam on the cross-section.
The effect of the pointing stability of the laser in the optical system is mainly reflected in the accuracy affecting the optical process or procedure, and higher stability often means higher processing accuracy or measurement results. With the development of industry, the pointing stability of laser becomes more and more important in practical applications in the fields of laser processing, laser communication, target indication, and the like.

The difficulty is further increased if the beam is also greatly displaced during the adjustment due to the long adjustment time. Meanwhile, the beam deviation in the machining process may also directly affect the quality of the machining result.
(2) The existing beam stability control device only comprises a single or two reflecting mirrors, and in order to reduce the influence of disturbance of the equipment, the existing beam stability control device is usually arranged at the tail end of an optical path of the equipment, and the reflecting mirrors in the front-end optical path are fixed. If the outgoing beam of the laser as a light source is shifted, it may be necessary to adjust a mirror included in the previous optical path.
For most processes, the offset of the laser is small, and the laser is often affected by accumulation over a long time, for example, adjustment is needed every few hours, so that the real-time requirement for adjustment is not very high. Aiming at the application requirements, a laser pointing stabilization control device based on spot analysis is provided.

The second reflector 3 of each module from the second to the last module, namely the first module and the last module, is a multi-dimensionally adjustable partial reflector, the adjusting center of the partial reflector is fixed and is positioned on the optical axis, and the partial reflector can select proper transmittance according to actual conditions; the second mirror 3 of last module is the beam splitter of fixed angle, and its angle is not adjustable, just the beam splitter is 45 degrees angles with the optical axis, and accessible fixed mounting mode realizes. Optionally, the transmission and reflection optical paths of the last module can be interchanged, i.e. the monitoring camera can be mounted on the reflection or transmission surface according to the actual application. Generally, the device at least comprises a first module and a last module, and the specific number of the modules can be changed according to the actual needs of the optical path length, the reflection times and the like of the equipment. The reflectors can be adjusted manually, electrically, piezoelectrically and the like, and are selected according to actual needs.
In one embodiment, the first module is not provided with a camera, and the first reflector is a multi-dimensional adjustable total reflector. In another embodiment, the first mirror is a multi-dimensionally adjustable partial mirror, and a camera is provided on the light transmitting side of the first mirror for monitoring the stability of the laser.
Preferably, an attenuator, which may be an electrically-adjusted attenuator or a manually-adjusted attenuator, is installed between the camera 4 and the second mirror 3 to control the intensity of the laser light entering the camera.
Further, the adjusting center of the partial reflector of the second to penultimate modules and the center of the light sensing surface of the corresponding camera 4 are coaxial, the camera 4 and the lens 5 are perpendicular to the optical axis, and the light sensing surface of the camera 4 is located on the focal plane of the lens 5.
When the device normally works, the laser generates laser, enters from the center of the light inlet hole 1 of the first module in parallel to the optical axis and strikes on the adjustable reflector of the first module, and then emits from the light outlet hole 2 of the first module in parallel to the optical axis into the second module and strikes on the adjustable reflector of the second module. The camera 4 in the second module will now see the spot in the very center of the image, so that the mirror does not have to be adjusted and the laser light will be reflected directly from the center of the mirror into the latter module. And so on, until the laser passes through all modules, as shown with reference to fig. 3.
In this embodiment, the light sensing surface of the camera is located on the focal plane of the lens, and as can be seen from geometric optics, only when the laser beam is incident parallel to the optical axis, the laser beam is converged at the focal point, and the light spot seen by the camera is located at the center of the image.

when a mirror is shifted, taking the example of the shift of the module n, the laser light between the mirrors of the modules n and n +1 will no longer be parallel to the optical axis, and the optical path in front of the module n will still be correct. The mirror adjustment is performed according to the following steps:
(1) and starting from the second module, sequentially checking the offset of the light spot position in the camera of each module relative to the image center, and skipping if the offset is smaller than an error range until a module with the offset exceeding the error range is found, wherein the error range is determined according to the requirements of the whole optical system. In this embodiment, the camera of module n can see that the light spot is located at the center of the image, and the camera of module n +1 can see that the light spot is not located at the center of the image.
(2) And adjusting the deflection angle of the reflector in the module n according to the offset of the position of the light spot observed by the camera of the module n +1 relative to the center of the image until the light spot is positioned at the right center of the image. The specific adjustment method is as follows:
assuming that the angle of the laser deviation relative to the optical axis is θ, the deviation of the focal spot seen by the camera is Δ, the focal length of the lens is f, and the laser is a parallel beam, it can be known according to the geometrical optics principle of the convex lens that:
Δ=f*tanθ;
through the relation, the offset of the laser angle is calculated according to the offset seen by the camera, and then the angle theta/2 of the reflector is reversely adjusted. The adjustment may be accomplished manually, by computer feedback control, or otherwise. As can be seen from the above-described principle, the laser should propagate along the original optical path before the deviation.
(3) The structure of the module n +2 is the same as that of the module n + 1. When step (2) is completed, the same operation as that in step (2) is taken in module n +2, the mirror of module n +1 is adjusted until the light spot in the camera of module n +2 is located at the center of the image, and so on until the penultimate module.
Since the last module is a beam splitter, which is fixedly mounted at a standard angle, no adjustment is necessary.
The adjustment process can be performed once every a period of time, and can also be continuously performed in real time without interruption according to requirements.
If the laser is misaligned when being incident, the incident light is not coincident with the optical axis, and as long as the light beam is parallel to the optical axis and is not shielded, the scheme is still effective.
