However, under the condition of high-power laser operation, 1064nm stray fluorescence generated by Self-excitation radiation in the Nd: YAG crystal generates Self-excitation radiation oscillation to form a Self-excitation radiation Amplification (ASE) effect, and the ASE effect of the fluorescence not only seriously reduces the laser conversion efficiency, but also destroys the beam quality of laser output by the solid laser. Therefore, it is necessary to suppress the ASE effect of the Nd: YAG solid laser.
At present, samarium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Sm: YAG) single crystal or transparent ceramic capable of absorbing 1064nm light is generally compounded on the periphery or side edge of an Nd: YAG working medium, and because the lattice structures of the Sm: YAG single crystal and the Sm: YAG transparent ceramic are high in matching performance with the lattice structure of the Nd: YAG, the Sm: YAG single crystal and the Sm: YAG transparent ceramic can be organically combined into a whole through a thermal diffusion bonding technology. When the Nd and YAG are in a laser operation state, the Sm and YAG single crystal or Sm and YAG transparent ceramic material compounded around or on the side of the Nd and YAG working medium can absorb 1064nm stray fluorescence generated by self-excitation radiation in the Nd and YAG working medium, so that the self-excitation radiation oscillation amplification can not be generated, and the purpose of inhibiting the ASE effect is achieved.

The absorption peak-to-valley value of Sm: YLAG at about 1068nm was bluish to about 1065.8nm, as compared with Sm: YAG.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Example 1
The embodiment of the invention provides a self-excitation radiation absorbing material, which has a chemical formula as follows: y is3-x-y-zSmxScyLuzAl5O12Wherein x is more than 0 and less than or equal to 0.215, y is more than or equal to 0.03 and less than or equal to 0.3, and z is more than or equal to 0.03 and less than or equal to 0.9.
The self-excited radiation absorbing material provided by the embodiment of the invention is prepared by the ion radius ratio Y3+Sc having a small ionic radius3+Ions and Lu3+Ionic substitution of part Y in Sm: YAG lattice3+Ions to form a new samarium-doped crystal with a lattice constant smaller than that of Sm: YAGYttrium lutetium scandium aluminum garnet (Sm: YLAG) material. The absorption peak at about 1068nm of Sm: YLAG blueshifted to about 1065.8nm compared to Sm: YAG. Therefore, the absorption peak of Sm: YLSG is better matched with the stray fluorescence peak of Nd: YAG (Neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum Garnet) working medium, so that the absorption coefficient of Sm: YLSG at the wavelength of 1064nm is larger. In addition, the self-excitation radiation absorbing material provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises: the lattice structure of Sm: YLAG is well matched with that of Nd: YAG, and Sm: YLAG can be organically combined with Nd: YAG crystal into a whole by thermal diffusion bonding technology.
The self-excitation radiation absorbing material expected by the embodiment of the invention not only needs to perform edge covering on the periphery or the side edge of the Nd: YAG crystal and can perform good thermal diffusion bonding with the Nd: YAG crystal, but also has the function of absorbing 1064nm stray fluorescence generated by the Nd: YAG crystal, so as to achieve the purpose of inhibiting Nd: YAG self-excitation radiation.
In the design and manufacturing process of practical high-power Nd: YAG solid laser, the allowable Nd: YAG crystal size is limited, and the thinner the 1064nm fluorescent self-excitation radiation absorbing material thermally bonded at the side edge or around the Nd: YAG crystal is, the better the material is, and the material is generally expected to be not more than 2 mm. So as not to increase the size of the Nd: YAG crystal. If the thickness of the self-excitation radiation absorbing material compounded on the working medium of Nd: YAG at a wavelength of 1064nm is too thick, the area or volume of the composite crystal (i.e., Nd: YAG with the self-excitation radiation absorbing material wrapped) is increased, which causes great difficulty in packaging and welding of the composite crystal element in the back-end application process. Meanwhile, in order to absorb 1064nm stray fluorescence generated in the Nd-YAG working medium in the working process and completely inhibit the ASE effect, the self-excitation radiation absorbing material at least needs to be compounded on the side edge and can absorb at least 90% of the stray self-excitation radiation fluorescence in the Nd-YAG working medium.
For example, in the case of Sm/YAG crystal, although absorption occurs at a wavelength of 1064nm, the absorption peak-to-valley value of Sm/YAG crystal around 1064nm is shifted from 1064nm to about 1068nm, resulting in a smaller absorption coefficient at a wavelength of 1064nm, which is based on the Langler's indexFrom the Bo-beer's law (the linear relationship between the concentration of doped ions in the crystal and the absorption coefficient), it is known that in order to achieve complete absorption of the spontaneous emission fluorescence of a Nd: YAG crystal in as thin a thickness as possible, the crystal must have an ultrahigh doping concentration. The absorption coefficient of the YAG crystal at a wavelength of 1064nm and the minimum thickness required to achieve 90% absorption at 1064nm are listed in Table 1 for the different doping concentrations Sm. As can be seen from the data in the table, in order to achieve a fluorescence absorption of 90% by self-excitation radiation of the Nd: YAG crystal within a thickness of 2mm, at least an Sm: YAG single crystal or an Sm: YAG ceramic having a concentration of 11.7at% needs to be prepared. However, Sm is responsible for3+Ionic radius and Y3+Sm with large ionic radius difference and high concentration3+Ion incorporation into YAG crystals causes severe lattice distortion, generates severe stress, causes crystal cracking or generates impurity phases, and thus it is difficult to obtain the desired Sm: YAG material at such a high concentration, whether by single crystal growth techniques or transparent ceramic preparation techniques.
TABLE 1 absorption coefficient at 1064nm wavelength for different concentrations of Sm: YAG and the minimum thickness of Sm: YAG required to achieve 90% absorption at 1064nm light
Wherein,*the numerical value is calculated according to the Labby beer's law.
Based on the above principle, the self-excitation radiation absorbing material provided by the embodiment of the invention replaces Y ions on part of the host lattice by introducing ions with smaller ionic radius and without destroying the optical and spectral properties of the raw material into Sm: YAG crystal (or ceramic), so that the lattice constant of the host material is properly reduced. After the lattice constant is reduced, the influence of the crystal coordination field on the energy level structure of the rare earth ions is strengthened, so that the energy level is further split or the energy level spacing is enlarged. Thus, the absorption spectrum of the Sm: YAG crystal (or ceramic) can be suitably blue-shifted to bring the Sm: YAG crystal (or ceramic) to an absorption peak at a wavelength of 1068nm and blue-shifted to a wavelength closer to 1064nm, so that the Sm: YAG crystal (or ceramic) can have a larger absorption coefficient at a wavelength of 1064nm even at a lower doping concentration.
YAG (yttrium aluminum garnet) crystals are typically of the garnet structure and belong to the cubic system, where Y is3+The ions are in a dodecahedral lattice, in the Sm: YAG crystal, Sm3+Ion substitution of a portion of Y in the host lattice3+Ions, also in the dodecahedral lattice site. The inventor finds in the research process that for YAG crystal matrix, a proper amount of trivalent rare earth ions are adopted to substitute part of Y in dodecahedral lattice3+Ions, which do not cause structural damage, maintain the complete garnet structure, and the smaller the radius of the trivalent rare earth ions, the larger the allowable substitution amount. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention uses the ion radius ratio Y3+Substituting part of Y on Sm-YAG crystal lattice by trivalent rare earth ions with small ionic radius3+Ions are added to reduce the lattice constant of Sm to YAG and to blue shift the absorption spectrum. The inventor researches and discovers that the ion radius ratio Y is3+Lu is used for doping a YAG matrix, and does not cause spectral characteristic change3+Ions and Sc3+Ions. Therefore, the embodiment of the invention introduces Lu with proper content into the Sm: YAG matrix3+Ions and Sc3+And ions are used for preparing Sm: YLAG crystal (or ceramic), so that the lattice constant of YAG is reduced, the absorption peak valley value of the original Sm: YAG matrix at 1068nm is blue-shifted to about 1065.8nm, the absorption peak valley value is more matched with the spontaneous emission fluorescence peak (1064 nm) of Nd: YAG crystal, and the Sm: YLAG has larger absorption coefficient at the wavelength of 1064 nm.
In summary, the self-excited radiation absorbing material provided by the invention has the following advantages: (1) the material has a large absorption coefficient at the wavelength of 1064nm, and can completely absorb stray fluorescence generated in Nd: YAG working medium in the thinnest possible thickness; (2) the lattice structure is similar to that of Nd, YAG working medium, and is more beneficial to the thermal diffusion bonding between the Nd and the YAG working medium, so that the Nd and the YAG working medium are organically combined into a whole; (3) the Nd-YAG working medium has good heat-conducting property and is beneficial to heat dissipation of the Nd-YAG working medium; (4) the material has no absorption to 808nm pump light in Nd-YAG working medium, has no loss when passing the pump light, and is suitable for being used as a wrapping self-excitation radiation absorption material of Nd-YAG crystal in Nd-YAG lasers of various pumping modes (side pump, end pump and the like). Therefore, the self-excitation radiation absorbing material with the wavelength of 1064nm provided by the embodiment of the invention has important significance for preparing the Nd-YAG composite working medium with the self-excitation radiation absorbing material wrapped outside, inhibiting the ASE effect of the high-power Nd-YAG solid laser and improving the beam quality and the conversion efficiency of the high-power Nd-YAG solid laser.
Preferably, the self-exciting radiation absorbing material is a transparent ceramic.
The self-excitation radiation absorbing material provided by the embodiment of the invention is preferably a transparent ceramic material, and compared with a single crystal, the transparent ceramic material retains all excellent characteristics of the single crystal material. Meanwhile, the transparent ceramic material is prepared by solid-phase reaction sintering, the whole crystal is composed of tiny crystal grains, and the crystal grain boundary buffering effect exists between the crystal grains, so that higher Sm is allowed3+Ion doping concentration, therefore, Lu is used in the examples of the present invention3+Ions and Sc3+Ionically substituted moiety Y3+The ionic Sm: YLAG is prepared into a transparent ceramic form, and can realize higher Sm3+The ion doping concentration can obtain larger 1064nm absorption coefficient. In addition, in the embodiment of the invention, the preparation period of the Sm: YLAG transparent ceramic is short, and the preparation process does not need to use expensive noble metal Ir, so that the production cost is obviously reduced.
