Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a novel double-crystal RTP Pockels cell assembly, belongs to the field of laser technology and application thereof, and particularly belongs to the field of manufacturing of photoelectric switching devices.
Background
The RTP crystal is a good quality electro-optical crystal, and when the RTP crystal is used as an electro-optical switch, a single RTP crystal has static birefringence and must be matched for use. Typically the crystals are cut at an angle of either the X or Y refractive index axes, and thus when used in pairs, the Z axes of the two crystals are typically placed orthogonally. Fig. 2 shows the main assembling method of the current double-crystal RTP pockels cell. The assembly method has the characteristics of complex structure, high machining precision requirement, high assembly difficulty and the like, improves the production cost of products, and reduces the yield of the products; and because there is no depolarization compensation structure, when high-power laser is injected, the RTP crystal can produce more serious thermal depolarization effect, so that the device is sensitive to working temperature, and important performance parameter indexes such as extinction ratio of the Pockels cell are reduced.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the problems of complex structure, high assembly difficulty and incapability of depolarization compensation of the conventional bicrystal RTP Pockel box, the invention provides a novel bicrystal RTP Pockel box assembly, which comprises two RTP (rubidium titanyl phosphate) crystals, a half-wave plate and two electrodes as shown in figure 1.
The cutting directions of the two RTP crystals are both X cutting or Y cutting; and the Z axes of the two RTP crystals are not required to be orthogonally arranged.
The half-wave plate is inserted between the two RTP crystals, and linearly polarized light passing through the first RTP crystal is incident to the second RTP crystal after rotating for 90 degrees, so that the aim of avoiding the orthogonal arrangement of the Z axes of the two crystals is fulfilled.
The half-wave plate can also compensate the thermal depolarization effect caused by the temperature rise of the electro-optic crystal when the electro-optic crystal works in a high-power laser.
The two electrodes (101) may be conductive rubber, or other conductive metal.
The two electro-optical crystals can be not only RTP crystals, but also other electro-optical crystals sensitive to temperature, such as KTP and other electro-optical crystals.
Other structures such as the insulating housing and the window sheet are all in the prior art and are not described in detail herein.
The invention has the following advantages: after the half-wave plate is inserted between the two RTP crystals, the two RTP crystals do not need to be orthogonally placed, so that the assembly difficulty is greatly reduced, and the electrode structure is simplified; and the half-wave plate can compensate the thermal depolarization effect of the RTP crystal, so that the sensitivity of the device to temperature is reduced, and important performance parameter indexes such as the extinction ratio of the Pockels cell are improved.
