Specific embodiment
The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
As shown in figure 1, a kind of lightweight high stability compact optical parametric oscillator, including four hysteroscopes L1-L4, LI- Straight line between L4 represents light path;Temperature controlling stove 5, optical fiber collimator 3, channel control system 7.The material of the device is carbon fiber material Material, structure is that 13 pieces of carbon fiber plate high intensity is gluing to be formed.Hysteroscope in OPO is directly glued on device, compact conformation, optics Stable performance, OPO sizes be both device size.
Apparatus of the present invention directly by annular chamber 6 from equal big gadget, and with the equal size of the size of shell;Four chambers Mirror eyeglass is small eyeglass (4 represent i.e. in figure) adhesion clamping;Change commercial electronic facility 2 and apply to apparatus of the present invention;Using light The pump-coupling of fine collimater 3, the control frequency-changer crystal temperature of temperature controlling stove 5.
Optical parametric oscillator integral structure component is formed for the mutual high intensity of carbon fiber plate 1 is gluing.Single unit system is tied for double-deck Structure, by carbon fibre tube glue stays between two-layer, makes structural stability higher.
Optical fiber collimator, the eyeglass of four hysteroscope devices are half inch of eyeglass, eyeglass direct high intensity after debugging is suitable Mucilage binding is in carbon fiber plate.
Temperature controlling stove 5 is arranged on the slide rail on the ground floor floor of device, one-dimensional can be slided;Control system has temperature feedback to fill Put, furnace can be made invariable.To be electronic facility 2 be commercial cheap steering wheel, suitably modified steering wheel, and by axle Hold, connecting rod carries out one-dimensional regulation to temperature controlling stove.Avoid the increase that the complicated control system of stepper motor is brought to device volume.
New design optical plan of the invention, abandons the optical mode using commercial collimater plus lens.Using independent development Optical fiber collimator 3 directly collimate the light into and inject in annular chamber.Greatly reduce single unit system size.
Temperature control drop-bottom, the lower floor upper plate of device have water channel, and water cooling is carried out to whole system by hose, Make internal thermal field stabilization, improve environment anti-interference.
As shown in figure 1, the New Ring-like Type device optical parametric oscillator uses annular chamber, the oscillator is by homemade fiber optic collimator Device is directly squeezed into OPO the collimated light that commercial laser is collimated into certain size with a tight waist, controls the position of light collimator Make with a tight waist positioned at germ nucleus.L1, L2 are plano-concave lens, and concave surface can be sent out towards the pump light of crystal 1. when crystal 1 is once passed through Raw nonlinear optical process produces ideler frequency light and flashlight.To make to obtain signal light amplification output, L1, L2, L3, L4 are to ideler frequency light High anti-, L2, L3, L4 are high to flashlight anti-, and L1 flashlights are high.With this ideler frequency light can in annular chamber multiple oscillation, and signal Light can then be exported at L1, so as to the amplification for realizing flashlight is exported.
As shown in Fig. 2 be the perspective view of optical fiber collimator, by ceramic insertion core 3.1, inner sleeve 3.2, outer tube 3.3, aspheric Face mirror 3.4 is constituted.OPO has certain requirement to the size of center spot, so general laser is frequently with preceding focus Lens are converged, and this considerably increases light path, that is, increase integrally-built length.Hot spot needed for by calculating OPO of the invention is big Small is 100 μm or so, selects the aspherical mirror 3.4 of small focal length, by the optical fiber insertion lock pin 3.1 of pump laser among, then will Laser alignment is exported among lock pin insertion inner sleeve 3.2 with the distance of lock pin by controlling aspherical mirror.Internal and external casing can revolve Turn, it is therefore an objective to the polarization of laser can be adjusted, when being adjusted to polarize vertically, mucilage binding is fixed.
The laser wavelength that OPO is produced can be adjusted by controlling nonlinear crystal temperature small range, and control laser to squeeze into crystalline substance The different passages of body can be realized adjusting on a large scale, and when laser occurs non-linear process by crystal, part energy can be with heat Form come out.And the ideler frequency optical wavelength that non-linear process is exported at different temperature is also different.Therefore as schemed 1, crystal is arranged on temperature controlling stove 5, makes the temperature timing constant of crystal.In wide range of wavelengths regulation problem, must be requested that temperature Control stove can one-dimensional smooth movement, the present invention is controlled from small-sized and cheap steering wheel to temperature controlling stove.
As shown in figure 3, being the perspective view of the channel control system 7 in Fig. 1.Temperature controlling stove 5 is placed on slide rail 8, temperature controlling stove And bearing and connecting rod are connected with steering wheel respectively, the translation for being converted into temperature controlling stove of steering wheel can be completed the choosing of passage with this Select.
Those of ordinary skill in the art should be understood:Specific embodiment of the invention is the foregoing is only, and The limitation present invention, all any modification, equivalent substitution and improvements within the spirit and principles in the present invention, done etc. are not used in, Should be included within protection scope of the present invention.
