The phase-locked loop circuit of two covers is opened simultaneously, receives the two-way laser pulse simultaneously with a photodetector (not shown), is observed the light signal that receives by the oscillograph (not shown).Earlier with first phase-locked loop circuit, 3 drive pressure electric actuators, after starting synchronously, waveform as shown in Figure 8 can appear on the oscillograph, the height wave sequence is represented two bundle laser pulses respectively, if two pulses do not overlap, then regulate the adjustable time delay 107 in this phase-locked loop circuit, till two row pulse waveforms on the oscillograph coincide together.Thereafter, switch driving voltage on the piezo-activator 6 rapidly to second phase-locked loop circuit 4, after starting once more synchronously, two row pulses on the oscillograph still can keep overlapping.
Femto-second laser 2 and picosecond laser 1 produce and each element frequently as shown in Figure 1, concrete parameter and installation requirement that element is selected are as follows:
Two plane total reflective mirrors are formed the device 400 of climbing, and are coated with the deielectric-coating that under 45 ° of incident angles 1064nm is all-trans, and after the laser of picosecond laser 1 output reflected via the device of climbing, the light height was increased to 6cm.The focal length of second condenser lens 401, the 3rd condenser lens 402 is 10cm, places on the adjusting bracket of scalable lifting and position, the left and right sides, and adjusting bracket is placed on the translation stage of 40 * 40mm.Second condenser lens 401 is coated with the anti-reflection film of 1064nm, and the 3rd condenser lens 402 is coated with the anti-reflection film of 750nm-850nm wave band.Siping City's face total reflective mirror 403, the 5th plane total reflective mirror 404, the 6th plane total reflective mirror 405, the 7th plane total reflective mirror 406 are positioned on the adjustable micropositioning stage of bidimensional, the 8th plane total reflective mirror 407, the 9th plane total reflective mirror 408 are positioned on the adjustable micropositioning stage of bidimensional, and micropositioning stage are placed on the translation stage.Wherein Siping City's face total reflective mirror 403 is coated with the deielectric-coating that under 45 ° of incident angles 1064nm is all-trans, and the 5th plane total reflective mirror 404, the 6th plane total reflective mirror 405, the 7th plane total reflective mirror 406, the 8th plane total reflective mirror 407, the 9th plane total reflective mirror 408 are coated with the deielectric-coating that under 45 ° of incident angles the 750nm-850nm wave band is all-trans.Nonlinear crystal 10 is BBO (β-barium borate, beta barium borate) crystal by 25.4 ° of cuttings of a class phase matching angle, is of a size of 4 * 4 * 2mm, nonlinear crystal 10 is positioned on the adjustable micropositioning stage of bidimensional, and micropositioning stage is placed on the horizontal rotating table.Regulate the 6th plane total reflective mirror 405, the 8th plane total reflective mirror 407, the 9th plane total reflective mirror 408 and make that the direction of titanium precious stone laser transmission is parallel with the direction of translation stage displacement, regulate Siping City's face total reflective mirror 403 and make the laser of picosecond laser 1 output incide the center of nonlinear crystal 10, regulate the 5th plane total reflective mirror 404, the 7th plane total reflective mirror 406 makes the laser of ti sapphire laser output incide the center of nonlinear crystal 10.The position of regulating second condenser lens 401 guarantees that picosecond laser just focuses on the center of nonlinear crystal 10, the position of regulating the 3rd condenser lens 402 guarantees that titanium precious stone laser just focuses on the center of nonlinear crystal 10, and makes the focus of two bundle laser overlap in nonlinear crystal 10.After synchronous control system realization two bundle laser high-precision active synchronization, displacement and the frequency laser of regulating translation stage will produce.Continue to regulate the pitching and the angle of nonlinear crystal 10 and rotate horizontal rotating table, make with frequency laser output the strongest.The spectral intensity curve that is collected by spectrometer as shown in Figure 9.
Adopt the phase-locked loop circuit of two covers, both play a different role in synchronizing process, complement each other.
If only adopt the phase-locked loop circuit of 68MHz to carry out synchronously, synchronization accuracy is lower, and tens psecs are arranged approximately.But this PLL has an advantage, exactly when drive with it PZT realize two laser instruments synchronously after, the adjustable time delay in the regulation loop can change the relative time position of femtosecond and picosecond laser pulse, range of adjustment can reach for tens nanoseconds; And after utilizing this PLL to start synchronously, the relative time position between the two bundle laser pulses is fixed basically, and this is for being very favorable with testing frequently, because need to regulate the relative time position of two bundle laser pulses in the experimentation.
If only adopt the phase-locked loop circuit of 816MHz to carry out synchronously, synchronization accuracy can reach a hundreds of femtosecond.But, though this PLL has the higher synchronous precision, but it but has a shortcoming, be exactly utilize at every turn it drive PZT start two laser instruments synchronously after, relative time position between two laser instrument output laser pulses is uncertain, will inevitably give like this and adjusting frequently bring certain difficulty.
Two cover PLL respectively have relative merits, in experiment, should be used in combination, we find, if drive PZT with 68MHz PLL earlier, after starting synchronously, rapidly the drive signal of switching PZT is to 816MHz PLL, after starting once more synchronously, and the drive signals of relative time position on PZT of two bundle laser pulses can change hardly before and after switching (is that the oscillograph of 5GHz does not observe variation with sample frequency).Therefore when carrying out and frequently test, just can determine that with 68MHz PLL two restraint the cardinal principle relative time position between the laser pulses earlier, keep high-precise synchronization between the pulse with 816MHz PLL again.
