摘　　要：针对3kW大功率射频板条CO_2激光器的多组电极放电均匀性与阻抗匹配性问题,采用麦克斯韦时域差分法构建了多组电极下的放电模型,获得了最佳放电均压效果的均压电感值。以放电区等效阻抗值为基础结合均压电感值得到极板放电的总负载阻抗值。利用总负载阻抗值并通过Smith圆图获得与之对应的匹配网络阻抗参数,使总负载阻抗与匹配网络阻抗之和为纯电阻50Ω,实现射频输入功率的完全馈入。实际测得当放电均匀与阻抗匹配时驻波比为1.18。研究结果表明,在时域差分法模型中增加匹配的均压电感后,极板整体放电均匀性波动从之前的15%降低到2.8%,且每组电极的放电均匀性差异控制在0.3%以内。放电实验表明,在放电均匀且阻抗匹配情况下,对应激光器输出功率为3.1kW,且在2h内波动可稳定在±1%以内。As for the discharge uniformity and impedance matching problems during multi-group electrode discharge at 3kW high-power radio frequency（RF）slab CO2 lasers,the multi-group electrode discharge model is built with the Maxwell time domain difference method and the shunt inductor value is gained under the optimum discharge uniformity efficiency.The impedance of total load in the discharge electrode is calculated with the combination of the shunt inductor value and the equivalent impedance of discharge area.The impedance matching network parameters are given with the Smith circle and the impedance of total load,and the sum of impedance of total load and matched network impedance is 50Ω which makes the RF input power completely fed.The actual measured standing wave ratio（SWR）is 1.18 when the discharge uniformity and impedance matching are satisfied simultaneously.The results show that,with the matched shunt inductors added in the time domain difference method,the fluctuation of the overall discharge uniformity of electrode slab decreases from previous 15%to 2.8%and the discharge uniformity difference between each electrode group is within 0.3%.The discharge experiment shows that,under the discharge uniformity and impedance matching conditions,the laser output power of 3.1kW within 2hcan be stable with the fluctuation within ±1%.
