End-face pump solid laser
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of laser, especially a kind of end-face pump solid laser of high stable.
Background technology
At present, end-face pump solid laser comprises pumping source, resonant cavity, gain media, wherein, resonant cavity is mainly by the plane total reflective mirror, plane output coupling mirror and fine adjustment lens bracket thereof are formed, because the end-face pump solid laser volume is little, compact conformation, therefore most of end-face pump solid laser generally adopts spring to add screw-rod structure on mirror holder to the adjusting of each eyeglass in the laser to finely tune, this adjustment mirror holder comprises " L " type inching frame, picture frame, about adjust screw, screw and some back-moving springs are adjusted in pitching, the corner and the picture frame of " L " type inching frame are hinged, about adjust screw and be threaded with horizontal adjusting support in " L " type inching frame, about adjust the screw tail end and withstand on the picture frame, pitching is adjusted screw and is threaded with vertical adjustment support in " L " type inching frame, pitching is adjusted the screw tail end and is also withstood on the picture frame, back-moving spring is located between " L " type inching frame and the picture frame, and eyeglass is installed in the picture frame.The mirror holder volume of this structure is little, easy to adjust, yet in industrial products, because environment for use is poor, the temperature difference is also bigger, and mirror holder can not directly be fixed in the light path again, and need be fixed on earlier on the fishplate bar, just can be fixed on the light path pedestal then, thereby the influence of being expanded with heat and contract with cold is more obvious, thereby can change the deformation quantity of back-moving spring, makes the laser resonance cavity mistuning.
In the end-face pump solid laser of folded form structure, its overall structure is comparatively compact, but its optical element is comparatively complicated, the imbalance less stable, when in the laser of this cavity resonator structure, using spring to add the inching frame of screw-rod structure, can make laser unstable more, influence the stability of laser output power, not even bright dipping when serious.
The end-face pump solid laser of the average cavity configuration of ordinary straight line style, structure is comparatively simple and practical, good beam quality, but because pump light can not be absorbed by working-laser material fully, therefore unabsorbed pump light will the directive output coupling mirror, thermal deformation takes place to output coupling mirror in the irradiation of absorptive pumping light owing to being subjected to not, makes the laser imbalance influence the stability of laser.Simultaneously, the generation deformation of also being heated of outgoing mirror mirror holder makes the laser resonance cavity mistuning.

Though the light light conversion efficiency is higher in the end-pumped laser, but have the unabsorbed pump light of part all the time and pass gain media 18, in the laser that does not add diaphragm 20, unabsorbed pump light will have part light directive output coupling mirror 19, when big and laser stream time is longer when the power of pumping, thermal deformation takes place owing to having absorbed pump light in output coupling mirror 19, thereby changes the power output of laser, influences the stability of laser; On the light path between gain media 18 and the output coupling mirror 19, add the diaphragm 20 of suitable clear aperature, because the laser beam of vibration is very little, diameter has only about 1mm, and pump light is after gain media 18 outgoing, hot spot is also serious than Vernonia parishii Hook, regulate diaphragm 20 and don't influence laser generation for convenient, we adopt the diaphragm of 1.5mm clear aperature, this can stop effectively that unabsorbed pump light directive outgoing mirror 19 is unlikely to influence the vibration of laser again, thereby can reach the stability that improves laser.
As shown in Figure 2, described fine adjustment lens bracket comprises picture frame, microscope base 1 and adjusts screw 4, as shown in Figure 4, described picture frame is that the lens mounting stand 3 of sphere constitutes by flange 6 and profile, again as shown in Figure 2, described picture frame also comprises eyeglass installing hole 14, gasket ring 8 and binding ring 7, binding ring 7 is connected with flange 6 thread in inner cavity, eyeglass installing hole 14 is used to settle eyeglass 2, eyeglass 2 one sides abut against on the seam of eyeglass installing hole 14, and eyeglass 2 opposite sides are fixed eyeglass 2 by gasket ring 8 by binding ring 7.
As shown in Figure 3, microscope base 1 is provided with the picture frame installing hole that matches with picture frame, described picture frame installing hole comprises first installing hole 9 that matches with flange and second installing hole 10 that matches with lens mounting stand 3, first installing hole 9 and flange 6 matched in clearance, second installing hole 10 is a taper hole, second installing hole 10 is connected with the profile sphere formation line face of lens mounting stand 3, make the fine-tuning rotation of coupling mirror picture frame, adjust the through hole 11 that screw 4 passes in the microscope base and be threaded with screwed hole 15 on the flange, through hole 11 front ends of adjusting in screw 4 and the microscope base are hinged.

As shown in Figure 4, described adjustment screw 4 is located on four the adjustment points 13 in flange upper and lower, left and right.
Present embodiment is adjusted mirror holder and is regulated when using, and is divided into coarse adjustment and fine tuning two parts.
Coarse adjustment is that the eyeglass picture frame of packing into is fixed by gasket ring and binding ring, picture frame is adjusted screw 4 by four of upper and lower, left and right and is connected on the microscope base 1, when slowly screwing four adjustment screws, keep the picture frame plane to parallel, so that in the fine tuning process, reduce regulated quantity with the microscope base front-back as far as possible.After coarse adjustment mixes up, microscope base is fixed in the light path, the microscope base fixing hole is an oblong, can slide so that satisfy the needs of front and back inching front and back, after microscope base fixes, carefully regulate four of upper and lower, left and right and adjust screw, can reach the purpose of regulating the eyeglass pitching and the left and right sides amplitude of oscillation.
When screwing the adjustment screw, the angle of depression that can increase eyeglass; Screw down when adjusting screw the elevation angle that can increase eyeglass; When screwing a left side and adjusting screw, make the eyeglass pendulum of turning left; Screw rightly when adjusting screw, make the eyeglass pendulum of turning right; Adjust the demand that screw can satisfy adjusting by regulating four, screw in the process of adjusting at the adjustment screw simultaneously, picture frame also progressively firmly is fixed on the microscope base, therefore, also is the process of fixing in the time of adjustment process.
In sum, the present invention compared with prior art has the following advantages:
1, the eyeglass adjusting angle is big. Because picture frame and adjustment screw all are that the line face cooperates connection with the mirror seat respectively, can reach the adjusting of wide-angle.
2, eyeglass is easy to adjust. Adjusting screw is uniformly distributed in around the picture frame, unaffected to the another one direction when regulating the screw of one of them direction, adjustment process is fixation procedure, after mixing up, also needed to transfer in addition the locking screw and adjust mirror holder in the past, when screwing the locking screw, be easy to destroy the structure that originally mixed up, thereby adjustment is brought inconvenience.
3, mirror holder good heat dissipation effect. Because picture frame cooperates connection with mirror seat line face, contact-making surface is big, has improved the heat radiation effect.
4, eyeglass is installed good stability. Owing to adopt screw to regulate fixing mode, ensured the stable of mirror holder.
5, laser power stability is high. Because the eyeglass installation site is stable, is expanded with heat and contract with cold and that deformation takes place is very little, thereby can effectively be improved the stability of laser output power. In resonator, increase simultaneously diaphragm, it can not only allow oscillation light fully by and also can stop effectively that the pump light that absorbs do not penetrate to output coupling mirror, avoided output coupling mirror to be subjected to not absorbing the irradiation of pump light and hot deformation has taken place, thereby made laser instrument more stable.
