Description

Graphene optical Q-switch and application
Technical field
The present invention relates to laser device field, particularly the graphene optical Q-switch device.
Background technology
Graphene has the two-dimensional structure that the stratiform atom is arranged, and is a class zero bandgap semiconductor material.When low-power illumination is mapped on the Graphene, can be on valence band and conduction band form electronics and the hole right, electronics and hole redistribute on conduction band and the valence band respectively afterwards, after distributing, electronics and hole can reconfigure, form the distribution when not shining, the linear absorption process of Here it is Graphene.When shining again, light can repeat above process.Yet when high light shone, the electronics in its valence band can all transit to conduction band, form to distribute at conduction band, thereby can not absorb this light again, just this light was kept higher transmittance, the saturable absorption characteristic of Here it is this material.This saturable absorption characteristic makes this material can be used as modulation element laser is modulated, and produces pulse laser.Semiconductor saturable absorber commonly used mainly contains saturable absorbing mirror (SESAM) and two kinds of devices of GaAs (GaAs), these two kinds of devices are except manufacture craft very the complexity, also very responsive to wavelength, its absorption differs greatly for different wavelength, does not even absorb; When using, need design according to different wavelength, this has just brought very big inconvenience to its making and application.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is directed to the deficiencies in the prior art, a kind of graphene optical Q-switch is provided, utilize saturable absorption characteristic that grapheme material has and, make the Q-switch device with grapheme material to the insensitive characteristics of wavelength.

In order to suppress the generation of mode-locked laser, described resonant cavity is short more good more; For the stable Q-switch laser of easier acquisition, the hot spot ratio on described gain medium and the Graphene is the bigger the better, wherein the preferred 10-100 of hot spot ratio on gain medium and the Graphene (can obtain by the cavity modes computing formula).
Described gain medium be semiconductor, laser crystal, laser ceramics or laser glass etc. all can produce the medium of laser gain, be processed into cylindrical or cuboid, its end face plates with the absorption that helps pump light and the deielectric-coating of laser generation, also can be not plated film of finishing polish.Preferably, described gain medium is the Nd:YAG crystal, Nd 3+Ion concentration is 0.01-0.10at..
Described pumping source is the light source that semiconductor laser diode (LD) or xenon lamp etc. can provide pump energy.
The deielectric-coating of the input mirror of described front cavity mirror can directly be plated on gain medium apart from the Graphene face far away, and another face can plate to help the deielectric-coating that laser generation and pump light absorb, also plated film not.
Described front cavity mirror is that a radius is the plano-concave mirror of 10-1000mm, and the concave surface plating is with the deielectric-coating to the high reflection of 1.05-1.1 μ m, and the distance between front cavity mirror and the Q switched element is 0.05-10cm, is preferably 0.05-1cm.
A kind of pulse laser comprises the Graphene Q-switch that the present invention is above-mentioned.
Graphene Q-switch provided by the invention, have make simple, cost is low, can realize wavelength in a big way inner laser adjusting, help characteristics such as industrialization production.
Graphene Q-switch provided by the invention can be used for generation visible light, laser infrared or ultraviolet are carried out the adjusting of loss, has comprised the laser that semiconductor, laser crystal, laser ceramics and laser glass produce.Can realize modulation to LD or xenon flash lamp pumping laser.
The SiC crystal has big thermal conductivity (490W/mK) and refractive index (being about 2.6), its reflectivity is about 40% during normal incidence, can be used as the output cavity mirror of laser, the output of realization laser, and have the saturable absorption characteristic at its epontic Graphene, the combination of two aspects makes it when using, and has realized the integrated of outgoing mirror and saturable absorber.During the Q-switch device application of making based on the grapheme material of growing on the SiC substrate, have following advantage:
1. insensitive to wavelength.Graphene has planar structure, is zero bandgap semiconductor, and these characteristics have determined such material to have the insensitive characteristic of wavelength, can realize being a class " general " switch to the modulation of ultraviolet to infrared band laser.
