Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to macro-energy double-frequency laser system, particularly the control method of a kind of II class KDP crystal to infrared light frequency multiplication optimum matching state.
Background technology
Ultrashort ultra-intense laser will provide new research means for the development in the fields such as the ultrafast science of high field, Relativistic Nonlinear physics, astrophysics, this technology has obtained development by leaps and bounds since middle 1980s, and the each scientific and technological power of the world including China has set up large-scale high power ultra-short pulse laser facility in succession.In femtosecond magnitude ultrafast laser system, it is main technology path that the chirped pulse based on titanium jewel (Ti:Sapphire) crystal amplifies (CPA); And large-aperture KDP crystal is the main frequency-doubling crystal of 1053nm fundamental frequency light, so the output efficiency that improves as much as possible KDP crystal is to improve pump energy, realize one of gordian technique of high energy laser output.
Be afraid of watt at high energy PW() in laser system, the method for optimizing KDP crystal double frequency efficiency is mainly to regulate phase matching angle and the position angle of KDP crystal to make frequency doubled light output efficiency maximum; The party's ratio juris can be summarized as follows:
The expression formula of II class KDP crystal double frequency is o+e → e, and the shg efficiency of KDP crystal is relevant with light transmition direction (θ, φ), deff=(d
14+ d
36) sin θ cos θ cos2 φ, optimum phase matching problem is exactly in the situation that phase matching angle θ is satisfied, selects the position angle φ of light transmition, makes the shg efficiency of KDP crystal reach maximum.Figure (1) has provided the frequency multiplication process of fundamental frequency light in KDP crystal; θ in figure is phase matching angle, and for fundamental frequency optical propagation direction is with respect to the angle of optical axis of crystal Z direction, φ angle is that light is at the projection of xy plane and the angle of optical axis.Regulate in order to reduce reflection loss and to be convenient to, in experiment, general total hope allows fundamental frequency light positive incident plane of crystal.So when processing frequency-doubling crystal, must press certain orientation sliced crystal, so that crystal normal direction becomes θ with optical axis direction, see figure (2).Therefore, in the time regulating the phase matching angle of KDP crystal, as long as make fundamental frequency light vertical incidence to plane of crystal.But owing to there being mismachining tolerance, be incident to after plane of crystal at definite fundamental frequency light positive, still need to finely tune phase matching angle and make KDP crystal reach optimum matching state; The fundamental frequency polarisation of light state of incident in II class frequency multiplication is 45
0line polarisation, when output light is horizontal polarization light or vertical polarization light time, now corresponding position angle φ is 0 ° or 90 °, known according to the expression formula of effective nonlinear coefficient, effective nonlinear coefficient maximum now, conversion efficiency is the highest.When the polarization state of frequency doubled light is not during at this two states, crystal is not in best frequency multiplication state, and output efficiency is on the low side.By rotating crystal, can change azimuthal size, and output polarisation of light state changes with the change at phasing degree.
At present, in high energy PW laser system, the key step of the control method of heavy caliber KDP frequency-doubling crystal can be summarized as follows: KDP frequency-doubling crystal is placed on after amplifier, makes light be incident to germ nucleus; Adjust phase matching angle and the position angle of KDP crystal, the power of simultaneously observing green glow with blank sheet of paper after KDP, until green glow stops the rotation when the strongest, fixes KDP crystal frame; Mainly there is following shortcoming in the method: due to only invisible light of fundamental frequency, and general KDP plane of crystal is all coated with 1053nm anti-reflection film, directly observe fundamental frequency only no vertical incidence plane of crystal be very difficult; Utilize the power of eye-observation green glow to be easy to cause eye fatigue, and then cause and judge inaccurately, affected frequency multiplication output; Even in the time that the green glow of exporting is the strongest, corresponding not necessarily horizontal polarization light of output polarisation of light state, is likely also orthogonal polarized light; The method need to be carried out the experiment of single-shot repeatedly just can obtain higher shg efficiency, consuming time very long, and shg efficiency can not get maximizing, and can not guarantee to export polarisation of light state.
