Line chamber high-power all-solid-state laser
Technical field
The present invention relates to the laser technique field, refer in particular to a kind of line chamber high-power all-solid-state laser.
Background technology
The rise of laser diode (LD) pump technology makes to occur the earliest and the solid state laser of existing nearly 40 years development histories shines vitality again.
Efficiently, powerful all solid state laser (DPL) is one of most important advanced subject of laser field, it has had both the two-fold advantage of semiconductor laser and lamp pump solid state laser, performance such as have that volume is little, efficient is high, good stability and life-span are long, what become laser subject in recent years gives priority to one of direction, wide application prospect is arranged and very big market potential is arranged in fields such as scientific research, medical treatment, communication and large-sized solor demonstration, industrial processes, military affairs.
The high power all-solid state laser has important application aspect national economy, the front line science researchs such as physics, chemistry, material science, life science, environmental science, energy science; In national security fields such as laser radar, electrooptical countermeasuress great application potential is arranged more.For breaking through the development bottleneck of all solid state laser high powerization, solve core problem in science-" three height " (being high power, high light beam quality and high conversion efficiency) of all solid state high power laser light, press in conjunction with tungstate laser experimental systems such as high-average power, peak power, carry out the basic research of aspects such as laser material, principle scheme, key technology, further develop the control technology of light beam time, space, frequency spectrum.
Country's " laser high-tech and industrialization " great special plan is encouraged domesticly in the research institution that has advantage aspect high power laser light design theory, monotechnics and the system development, carries out the innovation research of high power solid-state laser technology and application.
At present, high-power all-solid-state laser laser crystal mainly contains ktp crystal and lbo crystal, owing to use the difficult debugging laser of ktp crystal, the high-power all-solid-state laser mainly uses lbo crystal on the market.Attribute by lbo crystal has determined laser cavity can only be the refrative cavity structure.Because the cavity body structure of refrative cavity is longer, the optical mirror slip that laser sees through is more, and the power of loss is bigger, and light conversion efficiency is low.
Department of electronic engineering, tsinghua university beam Zhe etc. has been delivered article " the two control drive circuits in all solid state green (light) laser of acousto-optic Q modulation ", develop novel acousto-optic driver, can the Synchronization Control acoustooptic Q-switching and operating time of LD pumping source, and have the above power output of 10W and 15ns(1 acousto-optic drives rf period) the interior Q-switch time.The energy consumption of using all solid state modulation Q green laser of this driver reduces more than 50%, and temperature rise reduces more than 10 ℃, and heat-stable time reduces to 22%, with the LD pumping of 1W, has obtained the green laser output of no spurious pulse of pulsewidth 14.5ns, peak power 1kW.
Physics system of Northwest University separates intelligent bright grade and has delivered article " the two Nd:YVO4 continuous green lasers of both-end pumping ", for the power output and the light-light conversion efficiency of all solid state laser that improves diode pumped, design and used the two Nd:YVO4 green (light) lasers of both-end pumping.The influence of two laser crystal thermal lensing effects for resonant cavity stability analyzed in research by the laser crystal temperature field characteristics and according to the transmission matrix of light beam, designed the two laser crystal refrative cavities of both-end pumping.In the two Nd:YVO4 green (light) laser systems of both-end pumping, lbo crystal has adopted I class noncritical phase matching intracavity frequency doubling mode, when the pumping luminous power is 26.56W, obtained the steady and continuous green glow output of 5.5W, its light-light conversion efficiency is 20.7%.The result shows simultaneously, inserts two gain mediums in resonant cavity, not only can improve the light-light conversion efficiency of laser, and two laser crystal thermal lensing effect results of interaction can strengthen the stability of resonant cavity.
Yet, thereby the thermal effect of ktp crystal and acousto-optic Q switch close and do not live the output that door has limited high power green light greatly, particularly in the resonant cavity of intracavity frequency doubling, power density is high especially, though this can improve shg efficiency, but too high power density causes the more significant thermal effect of frequency-doubling crystal, causes the frequency-doubling crystal phase mismatch, greatly reduces shg efficiency; On the other hand, acousto-optic Q switch closes and constantly causes light to leak, and lowers efficiency.Therefore, the power output of existing laser is accomplished in the 30W, is difficult to satisfy the demand that production and processing is used.
