Description

Constitute 2 μm of tunable laser of annular chamber optical parametric oscillator based on body grating
Technical field
The present invention relates to laser technology field, more particularly, to one kind constitute annular chamber optical parametric oscillator based on body grating 2 μm of tunable laser.
Background technology
2 μm of lasing light emitters militarily have important using value, and it be pumping phosphorus germanium zinc optical parametric oscillator (opo, Optical parametric oscillator) produce mid-infrared laser (3-5 μm of laser) perfect light source.Further, in doctor The fields such as treatment, remote sensing and material science, 2 μm of lasing light emitters also have huge potentiality.Therefore, 2 μm of lasing light emitters are always domestic and international The focus of research.
At present, the method producing 2 μm of laser mainly has three kinds: 1) uses 2 μm of the solid state laser generation mixed tm or mix ho Laser;2) use and mix tm optical fiber laser 2 μm of laser of generation;3) using mixing 1 μm of solid state laser of rubidium, pumping ktpopo or Ppln opo etc., 1 μm of laser is converted into 2 μm of laser.First two laser instrument is directly produced to the technology not yet ten of 2 μm of laser It is divided into ripe, its apparatus expensive, relatively costly.And the third utilizes 1 μm of solid state laser pumping opo to produce the structure of 2 μm of laser Simply, technology maturation, lower cost, and higher power output can be produced, therefore its application is relatively broad.
Optical parametric oscillator (opo) technology is a kind of technology that can produce broadband continuously adjustable laser, its utilization There are three couple waves in the second order nonlinear effect of nonlinear crystal, the pump light propagated in nonlinear crystal and two parameteric lights Interact, thus realizing light energy to be converted into two low frequency parameteric lights from high frequency pump light, it is highly suitable for producing red Outer and in, the laser of far infrared band.Usage cycles polarized crystal meets e → e+e as nonlinear crystal, matching way, The 2 μm of flashlights producing can obtain extreme efficiency all for pumping phosphorus germanium zinc optical parametric oscillator with ideler frequency light.In order to Using maximum nonlinear factor, overcome walk-off effect, improve conversion efficiency, obtain high-power output, typically adopt periodicity pole Change Lithium metaniobate (ppln), periodic polarized phosphoric acid fluorine titanium potassium (ppktp) and periodic polarized lithium tantalate (pplt) as periodically Polarized crystal.But, 2 of the ordinary optical parametric oscillator output based on ppln, ppktp and pplt quasi-periodic polarized crystal The all non-constant width of live width of μm laser, generally more than 60nm, beyond the reception line less than 7nm of phosphorus germanium zinc optical parametric oscillator Wide.Therefore, in order to improve the conversion efficiency of mid-infrared laser, needs carry out live width to 2 μm of lasing light emitters further and narrow.
The structure producing the laser instrument of 2 μm of laser using optical parametric oscillator can adopt external cavity type or intracavity, outward Cavity structure refers to that optical parametric oscillator is arranged on the outside of 1 μm of laser instrument, and intracavity structure refers to optical parametric oscillator It is arranged on the inside of 1 μm of laser instrument.In intracavity structure, in order to reduce threshold value, improve the conversion efficiency of pump light, make pumping Laser comes and goes and passes through nonlinear crystal, and outgoing mirror generally reflects to pumping laser, and light echo is got to can affect pump on pump laser The service life of Pu laser instrument.
In addition, beam quality factor is assessment and the Elementary Theory of Control of laser beam quality, it is defined as
m 2 = r × θ r 0 × θ 0
Wherein, r is the waist radius of actual light beam, r0For the waist radius of basement membrane Gaussian beam, θ is the remote of actual light beam The field angle of divergence, θ0Far-field divergence angle for basement membrane Gaussian beam.When beam quality is 1, there is best beam quality.At present by Optical parametric oscillator produces the beam quality of 2 μm of laser and ideal situation also has larger gap, still fails to fully meet at present The needs of application.
