Description

一种基于声光效应的激光再生放大器A laser regenerative amplifier based on acousto-optic effect

技术领域technical field

本发明属于激光再生放大领域,更具体地,涉及一种基于声光效应的激光再生放大器。The invention belongs to the field of laser regeneration and amplification, and more particularly, relates to a laser regeneration amplifier based on acousto-optic effect.

背景技术Background technique

1985年出现的啁啾脉冲放大技术,提高了激光脉冲峰值功率,激光进入高强度发展阶段,超短脉冲,高能量激光是现在强物理场的重要光源,再生放大技术是实现超短脉冲高能量输出的必要手段。The chirped pulse amplification technology that appeared in 1985 has improved the peak power of laser pulses, and the laser has entered a stage of high-intensity development. Ultra-short pulses, high-energy lasers are now an important light source for strong physical fields, and regenerative amplification technology is to achieve ultra-short pulses with high energy. necessary means of output.

再生放大技术可以采用电光效应或者声光效应控制光脉冲的入腔与出腔,电光效应速度更快,但施加电压很高,目前低电压电光效应阈值较低,仍然处于研究阶段;声光效应相比于电光效应速度较慢,但所加电压不必太高。The regenerative amplification technology can use electro-optic effect or acousto-optic effect to control the entry and exit of optical pulses. The electro-optic effect is faster, but the applied voltage is very high. At present, the threshold of low-voltage electro-optic effect is low, and it is still in the research stage; acousto-optic effect Compared with the electro-optic effect, the speed is slower, but the applied voltage does not have to be too high.

在再生放大领域,光脉冲入腔后往返多次,实现多次能量放大,脉冲放大到一定程度时,通过电光效应或声光效应控制,脉冲出腔完成再生放大过程。但在一定条件下,光脉冲放大存在饱和情况,且重复频率越高时,饱和越快,单脉冲能量无法达到很高。In the field of regenerative amplification, the optical pulse goes back and forth several times after entering the cavity to achieve multiple energy amplification. When the pulse is amplified to a certain level, the pulse is controlled by the electro-optic effect or the acousto-optic effect, and the pulse exits the cavity to complete the regeneration and amplification process. However, under certain conditions, there is saturation in optical pulse amplification, and the higher the repetition frequency, the faster the saturation, and the single-pulse energy cannot reach very high.

同时,在再生放大领域,为了防止光脉冲出腔时原路返回对元器件造成损伤,解决该问题的方法目前主要有两个,方法一,在进入离开腔体的光路上添加必要偏振隔离元件以及偏振控制元件,使得脉冲出腔时,控制偏振态与入腔时不同,通过偏振隔离元件时无法原路返回;方法二,在激光再生放大腔体中加入两个电光效应或声光效应装置,光脉冲从装置一中入腔,从装置二中出腔,入腔与出腔的光路不同防止光路原路返回。两种方式都增加了器件的复杂度,方法二同时增加了脉冲入腔/出腔控制难度。At the same time, in the field of regenerative amplification, in order to prevent damage to components caused by the return of the optical pulse out of the cavity, there are currently two main methods to solve this problem. The first method is to add necessary polarization isolation elements on the optical path entering and leaving the cavity. and a polarization control element, so that when the pulse leaves the cavity, the control polarization state is different from that when it enters the cavity, and it cannot return to the original path when passing through the polarization isolation element; method 2, adding two electro-optic effect or acousto-optic effect devices in the laser regeneration and amplification cavity , the light pulse enters the cavity from the device 1 and exits the cavity from the device 2, and the optical paths entering the cavity and exiting the cavity are different to prevent the optical path from returning to the original path. Both methods increase the complexity of the device, and the second method also increases the difficulty of controlling the pulse entering/exiting the cavity.
