Base 110 plays a supportive role.Base 110 can be made of metal, and is preferably platy structure.Because platy structure has larger lifting surface area, thus effectively dispersive pressure, thus make laser 100 more stable.
Pumping source 120 is for generation of pump light.The general laser diode that adopts of pumping source 120.The pump light that light output precision 130 produces for exporting pumping source 120.Specifically in the present embodiment, the pump light that pumping source 120 produces carries out coupling fiber by conduction optical fiber 121 and exports light output precision 130 to.It is pointed out that in other embodiments, the pump light that pumping source 120 produces also can pump-coupling.Pump light is exported from light output precision 130, through pump light focusing unit (figure is mark not), focuses on.Pump light focusing unit is arranged in pump light focusing unit erector (figure is mark not), and pump light focusing unit erector is fixed on the eyeglass installing rack of eyeglass fixing device for installing.
Laser mirror 140 is dichroscope, to the high transmission of pump light, and to the high reflection of laser.Laser output mirror 150 is to the high reflection of pump light, to laser part transmission.Laser mirror 140 and laser output mirror 150 are installed on base 110.Laser mirror 140 is positioned at the front end of light output precision 130, and the pump light that light output precision 130 is exported is through laser mirror 140.Specifically in the present embodiment, base 110 is provided with eyeglass fixed head 111, which is provided with eyeglass installing rack 1112.Laser mirror 140 and laser output mirror 150 are installed on respectively in eyeglass installing rack 1112.
Cooling device 160 is fixed on base 110.Cooling device 160 comprises cooling cavity 161, bonnet 163, inlet 165 and liquid outlet 167.The hollow columnar structures that cooling cavity 161 is both ends open, bonnet 163 seals the opening of cooling cavity 161 one end.Concrete, bonnet 163 can be one-body molded with cooling cavity 161, also can separate moulding with cooling cavity 161, then be tightly connected by the modes such as screw threads for fastening and cooling cavity 161 one end.Inlet 165 and liquid outlet 167 are for cooling fluid turnover, and cooling fluid enters cooling cavity 161 inside through inlet 165, then flows out by liquid outlet 167, thereby takes away heat.Specifically in the present embodiment, inlet 165 and liquid outlet 167 are located on bonnet 163.Wherein, cooling fluid can be water, liquid nitrogen etc. other is commonly used for the liquid of cooling agent.Be appreciated that inlet 165 and liquid outlet 167 also can be arranged at the sidewall of cooling cavity 161.
Thin slice gain media 170 consists of the transparent dielectric material doped with active ions.Concrete, transparent dielectric material can be: the one in yttrium-aluminium-garnet (YAG), Gd-Ga garnet (GGG), glass, vanadate, tungstates, pottery.Active ions can be: Yb 3+, Nd 3+, Tm 3+, Ho 3+in one or more.After pump light directive thin slice gain media 170, the energy of part pump light is absorbed by the active ions in thin slice gain media 170, active ions generation energy level transition, thus produce laser.
See also Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, thin slice gain media 170 is platy structure.Thin slice gain media 170 is installed on cooling cavity 161 one end of bonnet 163 dorsad, and by one end sealing of bonnet 163 dorsad of cooling cavity 161, to be formed for accommodating the closed cavity (not shown) of cooling fluid with bonnet 163 and described cooling cavity 161.Thin slice gain media 170 is rear surface 171 towards the one side of bonnet 163, and rear surface 171 is positioned at closed cavity.Therefore.When being full of cooling fluid in closed cavity, thin slice gain media 170 directly contacts with cooling fluid.When laser 100 is worked, when thin slice gain media 170 produces heat, thin slice gain media 170 can by rear surface 171 directly and cooling fluid carry out exchange heat.The type of cooling of the back side microchannel cooling heat sink adopting than conventional laser, thin slice gain media 170 directly and cooling fluid carry out heat exchange and can increase substantially cooling effectiveness, thereby while reducing high power operation, the thermal lensing effect of thin slice gain media 170.
Transparent medium 180 is made by above-mentioned same transparent dielectric material with thin slice gain media 170.Wherein, the active ions that do not adulterate in transparent medium 180.Because the lazy weight of active ions is to exert an influence to the optical characteristics of thin slice gain media 170.Therefore, transparent medium 180 has identical refractive index with thin slice gain media 170.
Transparent medium 180 comprises optical surface 181 and circular bottom plate 183.Optical surface 181 is one-body molded with circular bottom plate 183.Optical surface 181 is pyramid, and optical surface 181 comprises that bottom surface 1814 and 2N the edge along bottom surface 1814 extend, and the plane of incidence 1812 triangular in shape.Wherein, N is more than or equal to 2 integer.Wherein, pump light is from the plane of incidence 1812 vertical incidence.The overwhelming majority of pump light can enter into thin slice gain media 170 by transparent medium 180.Therefore, without the front surface plating at thin slice gain media 170, establish high transmission rete and can realize the maximum utilization to pump light.Specifically in the present embodiment, on the plane of incidence 1812, plating is provided with pump light and laser high transmittance film layer.Therefore, can improve the further utilance to pump light.
In the present embodiment, bottom surface 1814 fits tightly with circular bottom plate 183, and thin slice gain media 170 fits tightly away from a side of bottom surface 1814 with circular bottom plate 183.Concrete, thin slice gain media 170 adopts the glue-free direct adhering technique of chemistry (CADB) to be bonded on transparent medium 180.Due to the thickness of junction minimum (100 μ m~1500 μ m), thus light do not reflect during through both junctions.In addition, thin slice gain media 170 also can be realized and being fitted tightly by other modes such as intermolecular force and circular bottom plate 183.Be appreciated that in other embodiments, circular bottom plate 183 can be omitted, and bottom surface 1814 and thin slice gain media 170 dorsad a side of rear surface 171 directly fit tightly, and also can realize its function.
Wherein, pumping source 120 is N, and the pump light that N pumping source 120 produces is respectively from the individual adjacent plane of incidence 1812 vertical incidence of N.Laser output border 150 is oppositely arranged with one of them plane of incidence 1812.The pump light that N pumping source 120 produces enters thin slice gain media 170 through N the plane of incidence 1812 of transparent medium 180 respectively, and makes thin slice gain media 170 excite to produce laser.The laser producing after the reflection of rear surface 171, directive laser output mirror 150.Part Laser output, another part laser in laser output mirror 150 is reflected back thin slice gain media 170, and through rear surface 171 again after secondary reflection, directive laser mirror 140.Laser output mirror 150 forms resonant cavity with laser mirror 140, and laser carrys out back reflective between laser output mirror 150 and laser mirror 140, thereby further vibration is amplified.
Because can adopting at most N pumping source 120, laser 100 thin slice gain media 170 is carried out to pumping simultaneously.Compare single pumping source 120 pumpings, can reduce the requirement to pumping source 120 power and brightness on the one hand.Secondly, the pumping from different directions of multiple pumping sources 120, can improve the utilance to pump light.And the gross power of pump light equals each pumping source 120 power sums.Therefore,, without adopting complicated reflex circuit to improve the absorptivity of pump light, can reach the demand to power.
Concrete, one of them of the plane of incidence 1812 that laser mirror 140 is adjacent with N be arranged in parallel, and laser output mirror 150 is oppositely arranged with another exit facet 1812 that this exit facet 1812 is oppositely arranged.Therefore, the pump light of one of them generation of N pumping source 120 is through laser mirror 140 directive rear surfaces 171, and directive laser output mirror 150 after reflecting by rear surface 171.Get back in thin slice gain media 170 after laser output mirror 150 reflections with the pump light that laser beam is coaxial, thereby improved the utilance to this pump light.
In addition, the active ions in thin slice gain media 170 are after the energy of absorptive pumping light is activated, and wherein few a part of ion is chaotic ion.Chaotic ion can not be contributed to the generation of laser, but pure consumed energy, thereby cause energy loss.Because thin slice gain media 170 is directly bonded on transparent medium 180, chaotic ion wherein can be derived via transparent medium 180.Therefore, transparent medium 180 can play inhibition amplified spont-aneous emission, i.e. the effect of ASE effect, thereby the stability of raising laser 100.
Wherein, thin slice gain media 170 is n1 to the refractive index of pump light.And the cooling fluid adopting is liquid, it is n1 to the refractive index of pump light that cooling fluid is generally less than thin slice gain media 170 to the refractive index n 2 of pump light.When pump light enters thin slice gain media 170, and be more than or equal at the incidence angle a of rear surface 171
Figure BDA0000441978220000081
time, in rear surface 171, there is total reflection in pump light.
Concrete is analyzed as follows, for meeting the condition that total reflection occurs, incidence angle should meet:
sin ∂ ≥ n 2 n 1
Therefore obtain:
Pump light directive thin slice gain media 170, and there is total reflection in rear surface 171.Unabsorbed pump light is directive laser output mirror 150 after reflection, at laser output mirror 150, reflect, and be reflected back in thin slice gain media 170, thin slice gain media 170 carries out absorption again to the energy of pump light, thereby improves the utilance to pump light.Because produced laser and pump light are coaxial, therefore full transmitting also can occur laser on rear surface 171.Therefore, the common resonant cavity (figure is mark not) that forms between laser mirror 140, laser output mirror 150 and rear surface 171, laser is in resonant cavity internal reflection, thus vibration is amplified.In resonant cavity, laser is between laser mirror 140 and laser output mirror 150 after multiple reflections, and the active ions quantity that makes thin slice gain media 170 that transition occur increases, thereby plays the effect of amplifying laser.
In the present embodiment, the plane of incidence 1812 is more than or equal to the angle of bottom surface 1814
Figure BDA0000441978220000085
pump light vertical sand shooting during to the plane of incidence 1812, can make pump light enter in transparent medium 180 to greatest extent, thereby improves the utilance to pump light.And the light of vertical incidence can not reflect, but the rear surface 171 of direct directive thin slice gain media 170.According to geometrical principle, pump light equals the angle of the plane of incidence 1812 and bottom surface 1814 in the incidence angle on surface 171.Therefore, when the plane of incidence 1812 and the angle of bottom surface 1814 are more than or equal to
Figure BDA0000441978220000091
time, can make pump light be greater than critical angle in the incidence angle of rear surface 171, therefore can there is total reflection from the pump light of the plane of incidence 1812 vertical incidence and the laser of generation on rear surface 171.
Owing to being more than or equal in the incidence angle of rear surface when pump light time, there is total reflection in rear surface 171 in pump light and laser, therefore establish highly reflecting films without rear surface 171 platings at thin slice gain media 170, just can realize a laser pumping reflection of light.Therefore, can eliminate the thermal lensing effect causing because of highly reflecting films and thin slice gain media 170 deformation difference.If be appreciated that, pump light and laser do not hologony, and also can adopt the mode of plating reflectance coating in rear surface 171 to realize pump light and sharp reflection of light.
Specifically in the present embodiment, laser mirror 140 and laser output mirror 150 be arranged in parallel with respect to two planes of incidence that are oppositely arranged 1812 respectively.Therefore, pump light can carry out repeatedly reciprocal reflection at laser mirror 140 and laser output mirror 150, thereby further improves the utilance to pump light.

Further, specifically in the present embodiment, pump light speculum 102 is N-1, and N-1 pump light speculum 102 is parallel with N-1 plane of incidence 1812 and be oppositely arranged respectively.N-1 pump light speculum 102 is corresponding one by one with N-1 pumping source 120.N-1 the pump light directive rear surface 171 that pumping source 120 produces, and occur after total reflection in rear surface 171, the pump light speculum 102 that unabsorbed pump light directive is corresponding, and being reflected back in thin slice gain media 170 by corresponding pump light speculum 102.The pump light that another one pumping source 120 produces and laser coaxial, can be left the country and 150 be reflected back in thin slice gain media 170 by laser beam.Therefore, except the pump light of one of them pumping source 120 can be reflected by laser output mirror 150 can thin slice gain media 170 so that outside pump light absorbed again by thin slice gain media.The pump light that all the other N-1 pumping source 120 sends, after 171 total reflections of rear surface, is reflected back thin slice gain media 170 by pump light speculum 102, so that pump light is absorbed again by thin slice gain media.Therefore, pump light speculum 102 can further improve the absorptivity of thin slice gain media 170 to pump light.
In the present embodiment, base 110 is provided with line slideway 113, and cooling device 160 and thin slice gain media 170 are slidably mounted on line slideway 113, and thin slice gain media 170 is fixing with respect to cooling device 160.Therefore, by the just position of adjustable cooling device 160 and thin slice gain media 170 of sliding.
Further, laser 100 also comprises mounting structure 190, and mounting structure 190 comprises fixed mount 191, pressing plate 193, mounting panel 195 and threaded fastener 197.
Fixed mount 191 is located on line slideway 113 slidably, and fixed mount 191 is platy structure, and its upper end is provided with semicircular the first groove (figure not mark), and cooling cavity 161 is contained in the first groove.Pressing plate 193 lower ends are provided with semicircular the second groove (figure is mark not), and pressing plate 193 is fixed on fixed mount 191, so that cooling cavity 161 is held between the first groove and the bottom of the second groove.
Mounting panel 195 is provided with circular mounting hole 1952, the diameter of installing hole 1952 is less than the diameter of circular bottom plate 183, transparent medium 180 is arranged in installing hole 1952, mounting panel 195 by circular bottom plate 183 pressure holdings in the edge of the opening of cooling cavity 161, so that seal chamber sealing.

The rear surface 171 of thin slice gain media 170 is positioned at closed cavity.When being full of cooling fluid in closed cavity, thin slice gain media 170 directly contacts with cooling fluid.The type of cooling of back side microchannel cooling heat sink adopting than conventional laser, thin slice gain media 170 can be directly and cooling fluid carry out heat exchange.Therefore, increased substantially cooling effectiveness, the thermal lensing effect of thin slice gain media 170 while reducing high power operation;
In addition, when pump light is more than or equal in the incidence angle of rear surface
Figure BDA0000441978220000111
time, in rear surface 171, there is total reflection in pump light.And, the laser that thin slice gain media produces is coaxial with pump light, therefore establish highly reflecting films without the rear surface plating at thin slice gain media 170, just can realize pump light and sharp reflection of light, thereby eliminate the thermal lensing effect causing because of highly reflecting films and thin slice gain media deformation difference.Therefore, laser 100 can effectively suppress thermal lensing effect, thereby improves quality and the stability of Laser output.
The above embodiment has only expressed several execution mode of the present invention, and it describes comparatively concrete and detailed, but can not therefore be interpreted as the restriction to the scope of the claims of the present invention.It should be pointed out that for the person of ordinary skill of the art, without departing from the inventive concept of the premise, can also make some distortion and improvement, these all belong to protection scope of the present invention.Therefore, the protection range of patent of the present invention should be as the criterion with claims.
