Embodiment
The present invention is further described for existing accompanying drawings.
Because conventional semiconductor pumped short cavity laser adopts end pumping or globe lens to assemble, more than the pumping point tens microns between the 200 μ m because crystal thermal effect, pump power is difficult in pumping under the high power.So the present invention adopts average chamber or flat-concave cavity short bore configurations, makes pump light with linear light spot form pumping laser gain media, thereby form short cavity laser or the micro-slice laser that high power is exported first-harmonic or frequency doubled light output.
Shown in Fig. 2 a and Fig. 2 b, 201 is a high power output semiconductor pump laser, and 202 is that collimating lens becomes approximate directional light with the LD optical alignment, and 203 is cylindrical lens, with the semiconductor pumped wire pumping point that is converged to again, 204 for there being the micro-slice laser of gain medium.Semiconductor pump short cavity high power laser of the present invention comprises semiconductor pump laser (201), coupling optical system (202,203), gain medium sheet.Wherein: described coupling optical system (202,203) adopts average chamber or flat-concave cavity short bore configurations, makes pump light be converged to wire pumping point, pumping laser gain media.The present invention enlarges short cavity gain medium excited volume and increases the laser generation volume by wire pumping point, thereby obtains high power output.
