As shown in Figure 7, present embodiment discloses a kind of passive Q-regulaitng laser adopting high temperature angle automatching nonlinear crystal, comprise pumping system 1, with collimating mirror 6, focus lamp 7, the resonant cavity 8 of pumping system 1 successively optical coupling, described resonant cavity 8, from focus lamp 7 side, comprises the speculum 81 of optical coupling, gain component 82, passive Q-adjusted crystal 83 and outgoing mirror 84 successively; Described outgoing mirror 84 exiting surface is coupled with nonlinear crystal 9 and beam expanding lens 5 successively, and the temperature that nonlinear crystal 9 mates is greater than room temperature.Preferably, the temperature that nonlinear crystal 9 mates is more than or equal to 40 DEG C, is less than or equal to 60 DEG C.Such as 45 DEG C, 48 DEG C, 52 DEG C, 55 DEG C, 57 DEG C etc.More excellent selection, the temperature that nonlinear crystal 9 mates equals 50 degree.
Nonlinear crystal is generally adopted and is mated in two ways.One is Temperature Matching, general refractive index has the nonlinear crystal of significant change to be suitable for Temperature Matching with temperature, Temperature Matching is very strict to the requirement of the control of temperature, general precision is less than +/-0.1 degree Celsius, and very multicrystal coupling temperature is higher, more than 150 degrees Celsius, need the temperature controlling stove that precision is higher, add cost.Another kind of nonlinear crystal matching way by contrast, namely angle automatching more for convenience, this matching way is the serviceability temperature first setting nonlinear crystal, then matching angle calculating is carried out according to this temperature, finally according to this matching angle, crystal is cut, the crystal cut out only uses at that temperature arranged before, efficiency could be the highest, the crystal that this mode is mated operationally uses more convenient, require also so not high to the control precision of temperature, therefore system is comparatively simple.
But angle automatching mode conventional in prior art, the phase matching angle of general crystal all adopts coupling room temperature, and (alleged by the application, room temperature refers to indoor temperature, there are differences according to territorial environment difference and generally refer to 25 DEG C) cutting mode, this mode has weak point:
First, the angle automatching nonlinear crystal that coupling room temperature cutting mode obtains operationally can need two-way temperature to control, and namely needs refrigeration when summer uses, needs heating, greatly add the complexity of system when winter uses.
Secondly, because laser is by during nonlinear crystal and when not having laser by nonlinear crystal, the temperature of this crystal has a greater change, and needs longer temperature equilibrium time, causes the energy shortage of first pulse train, makes processing effect unstable.When supposing that coupling temperature is 25 DEG C, it accepts temperature is +/-1 DEG C, only in this temperature range, the efficiency of its frequency multiplication is just higher, as temperature not this scope then shg efficiency can decline, when going out laser, laser can sharply rise through the temperature of nonlinear crystal part, such as rise to 40 DEG C, when not going out laser, its temperature can be reduced to rapidly 25 DEG C again, when at this moment going out laser and do not go out laser, temperature difference is larger, therefore laser is not being gone out to the temperature equilibrium time needing in a flash a section going out laser, first pulse train energy shortage can be caused during this period of time, response speed is slow, make processing effect unstable, and the temperature difference to be balanced at short notice, cause control circuit complicated, raise cost.The present invention adopts high temperature angle automatching mode then to solve the problems referred to above, such as, suppose the nonlinear crystal adopting high temperature angle automatching (for 50 DEG C of couplings), the cutting angle of this nonlinear crystal is (° Φ=10.9 °, θ=90), it accepts temperature is +/-1 DEG C, it is 51 DEG C when then going out laser, it is 49 DEG C when not going out laser, under avoiding room temperature match condition, temperature equilibrium time required for working temperature 50 DEG C is risen to and close to the optimum working temperature of nonlinear crystal from room temperature 25 DEG C, therefore adopt high temperature coupling time its go out laser and do not go out laser state differ less, nonlinear crystal can be allowed to enter optimum working temperature sooner, response speed is obviously accelerated, and thermoregulation range is little, also simplified control circuit is conducive to, reduce costs.Finally, to be improved the temperature of nonlinear crystal by the energy produced during nonlinear crystal due to laser can be taken full advantage of, therefore, adopt the mode of high temperature angle automatching can also reduce energy consumption further.
Embodiment seven
As shown in Figure 2, the open a kind of two passive Q-adjusted ultraviolet laser of first gain crystal compact of present embodiment, comprise pumping system 1, described pumping system 1 is also coupled with the collimating mirror 6 of optical coupling successively, focus lamp 7, resonant cavity 8, two frequency-doubling crystal 91 and frequency tripling crystal 92; Described pumping system 1 comprises pumping source 12, powers and provide refrigeration, provide temperature controlled drive source 11 for two frequency-doubling crystals 91 and frequency tripling crystal 92 to pumping source 12; Described resonant cavity 8, from focus lamp 7 side, comprises the speculum 81 of optical coupling successively, adopts the first gain crystal 821 of isotropic, high upper level lifetime and high energy storage material, adopts the second gain crystal 822, passive Q-adjusted crystal 83 and the outgoing mirror 84 that possess polarization characteristic material; The resonant cavity 8 be made up of speculum 81 and outgoing mirror 84 is stable cavity; The exiting surface of described outgoing mirror 84 is coupled with described two frequency-doubling crystals 91.
Technical schemes all at present all adopts one piece of crystal as the first gain crystal 821, as otherwise adopt the first gain crystal 821 (below for the analysis of Nd:YAG crystal) of isotropic, high upper level lifetime and high energy storage material, adopt the first gain crystal 821 (below for the analysis of Nd:YVO4 crystal) possessing polarization characteristic material, because Nd:YAG crystal is isotropic crystal, its fundamental frequency light exported does not have polarizability, thus make the efficiency of follow-up nonlinear frequency transformation lower, but Nd:YAG crystal upper level lifetime is long, energy storage is large, very high peak power can be obtained when passive Q-adjusted, although and adopt Nd:YVO4 crystal to have good polarization characteristic as the fundamental frequency light that the first gain crystal 821 is launched, but due to Nd:YVO4 crystal to be excited cross section large, upper level lifetime is shorter, energy storage is little, therefore under passive Q-adjusted situation, the peak power of the fundamental frequency light of launching is not high, this also have impact on the efficiency of its follow-up nonlinear frequency transformation, in order to make up the deficiency of two kinds of situations, the present invention adopts two first gain crystal 821 schemes being similar to Nd:YAG+Nd:YVO4, and both crystal have the absworption peak (808.5nm and 810nm) substantially identical to pump light, therefore single pumping source 12 is adopted can to meet pumping to two kind of first gain crystal 821, identical emission peak (1064nm), therefore adopt two first gain crystal 821 of the present invention that the fundamental frequency light of transmitting can be made on the polarizing emission direction of Nd:YVO4 crystal to have obvious mode competition advantage, thus make the fundamental frequency light of output have good polarizability, because nonlinear crystal requires to be input as polarised light, therefore, this programme is more conducive to the operating efficiency improving nonlinear crystal.
