Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of optical parametric oscillators, in particular to a crystal switching device suitable for the optical parametric oscillator.
Background
An optical parametric oscillator mainly comprises two key parts: an optical resonator and a nonlinear optical crystal. The optical cavity is primarily intended to resonate with at least one of the two output lights. In the nonlinear optical crystal, the pump light, the signal light, and the idler light coincide with each other. The interaction of the three different frequency lights results in amplitude gain (parametric amplification) of the signal and idler waves and corresponding pump amplitude attenuation. The gain causes the resonant light wave (signal light or idler light or both) to oscillate in the cavity, compensating for the loss of the resonant light wave in oscillating back and forth. The losses include losses associated with the output coupling mirror extracting the desired output light wave. Because the loss is independent of the pump intensity, but the gain is dependent on the pump intensity, insufficient gain is not sufficient to support oscillation at low pump powers. Oscillation only occurs when the pump power reaches a certain threshold. Above the threshold power, the gain also depends on the amplitude of the resonant light wave. Therefore, in steady state operation, the amplitude of the resonant light wave depends on the state where the gain and the loss (a constant) are equal. The amplitude of the resonant wave and the intensity of the output light wave both increase with increasing pump light intensity. Common second-order nonlinear optical crystals include potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP), Ammonium Dihydrogen Phosphate (ADP), potassium dideuterium phosphate (KD x P), barium sodium niobate, etc. In order to change the frequency of the output light wave, the pump frequency or the nonlinear optical crystal with phase matching characteristic can be changed. The latter is achieved by changing the temperature or orientation of the nonlinear crystal or the period of quasi-phase matching.
During the use of nonlinear crystals, excessively high light intensities can momentarily damage the crystals, and unfortunately, to achieve sufficiently high conversion efficiencies, nonlinear crystals often need to be operated near their optical loss threshold. Even if the crystal is operated well below the threshold to prevent transient losses, some crystal materials exhibit sustained degradation, for example in the form of "grey tracking", in some parts of use. This phenomenon is particularly common when the crystal is operated in the ultraviolet band. Gradual degradation accumulates heat, and the generation of excessive heat can cause catastrophic damage instantaneously. In addition, hygroscopic crystal materials need to be kept in sufficiently dry air (or dry inert gas), and it is advantageous to keep such crystals operating at a higher temperature. Crystal operating temperatures below room temperature are often problematic, and in the event that the air is not dry enough, moisture in the air can condense on the crystal surface, focusing the laser more, and damaging the crystal.
In order to generate high power uv light, the nonlinear crystals become consumables, which need to be replaced frequently during the lifetime of the laser system, but temporary replacement of the crystals in the laser system is cumbersome and time-consuming.

The designation of the design orientation merely indicates the relative positional relationship between the respective members, not the absolute positional relationship.
The embodiment of the invention provides a crystal switching device suitable for an optical parametric oscillator, which can quickly complete crystal switching in the oscillator and ensure the endurance of the oscillator. Referring to fig. 1 to 24, the crystal switching device in the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes a switching plate 1, a driving plate 2, a connecting member 3, and a positioning device 4, wherein the switching plate 1 is provided with a rotating ring, the driving plate 2 is provided with a shaft hole 21, the switching plate 1 and the driving plate 2 are coaxially disposed on a fixing shaft 9, and the fixing shaft 9 is fixed on a substrate 8. The base of the driving device 6 is fixed on the base plate 8, and the driving shaft 61 of the driving device 6 is engaged with the outer side wall of the transmission disc 2, so that the driving device 6 can drive the transmission disc 2 to rotate through the driving shaft 61. The driving device 6 can adopt a stepping motor, so that the angle of the driving shaft 61 for driving the transmission disc 2 to rotate can be controlled. The switching disc 1 is positioned on the transmission disc 2, the switching disc 1 is composed of a plurality of sub-discs, three sub-discs are taken as an example in the embodiment of the invention for explanation, the lower surface of each sub-disc of the switching disc 1 except the rotating ring of the shaft center part is contacted with the upper surface of the transmission disc 2, so that the transmission disc 2 can drive the switching disc 1 to synchronously rotate when rotating. The friction coefficient between the lower surface of the sub-disc of the switching disc 1 and the upper surface of the transmission disc 2 can be designed according to actual conditions, so that the transmission disc 2 can smoothly drive the switching disc 1 to synchronously rotate without sliding when rotating; when the branch plate of the switching plate 1 receives the stopping piece and can not rotate, the transmission plate 2 can continue to rotate, and meanwhile, other branch plates which are not stopped can be driven to continue to rotate.
Referring to fig. 1, 3 and 22, an initial position of the switching plate 1 may be determined, so that the driving device 6 can obtain a relative position of the switching plate 1 when driving the driving plate 2, thereby determining a rotation amount of the driving device 6, and rotating the sub-plates of the switching plate 1 to a proper position, that is, a position of the positioning device 4, so that the positioning device 4 can fix the position of the sub-plate and does not rotate with the driving plate 2, and other sub-plates can still rotate with the driving plate 2. The transmission disc 2 can now restore the other part discs to their initial position.
In the embodiment of the invention, the three subdivisions are respectively a first subdistrict 11, a second subdistrict 12 and a third subdistrict 13. Referring to fig. 3-11, the first plate 11 includes a first rotating ring 111, a first connecting plate 112, and a first retaining ring 113; the second sub disc 12 comprises a second rotating ring 121, a second connecting sub disc 122 and a third snap ring 123; the third minute disc 13 includes a third rotary ring 131, a third connecting minute disc 132, and a third snap ring 133. The thickness of three rotating rings is the same as that of one connecting sub-disc, the first rotating ring 111 is located below the connecting end face of the first connecting sub-disc 112, the second rotating ring 121 is located in the middle of the connecting end face of the second connecting sub-disc 123, and the third rotating ring 131 is located above the connecting end face of the third connecting sub-disc 132, so that when the rotating rings are coaxially connected, each sub-disc is sequentially sequenced, each connecting sub-disc can be flatly installed on the transmission disc 2 without overlapping, and each sub-disc can independently rotate but is limited by the occupied space of other sub-discs.
Taking the first snap ring 113 of the first sub-disc 11 as an example in the embodiment of the present invention, the first snap ring 113 is sleeved in the positioning ring 91 of the fixed shaft 9. The holding ring 91 can be split into two symmetrical upper and lower structures, a lower structure is firstly sleeved on the fixing shaft 9, then the first clamping ring 113 is installed in the lower structure, the upper structure is installed on the fixing shaft 9, the upper and lower structures form the holding ring 91, so that the holding ring 91 can clamp the first clamping ring 113 of the first sub-tray 11 and form independent rotation connection with the fixing shaft 9, and the rotation connection with other sub-trays does not have influence. It is understood that the second and third subdivisions 12 and 13 are connected to the first subdistrict 11 in the same manner, and only the positional relationship is different, and will not be described in detail.
Taking the first sub-disc 11 in the embodiment of the present invention as an example, starting from an initial position, the driving device 6 drives the transmission disc 2 to rotate, and drives the switching disc 1 to rotate by a certain angle, so that the first sub-disc 11 reaches a fixed position and can be positioned and combined with the positioning device 4; at this time, the first subdistrict 11, the second subdistrict 12 and the third subdistrict 13 are tightly attached together and are not separated; the driving device 6 can be turned over to rotate the second subdisc 12 and the second subdisc 13 which are not fixed to the initial position (at this time, the rotating angle can be excessive), so as to avoid the influence between crystal light wires. When the crystal needs to be switched, the positioning device 4 is opened to be combined with the first sub-plate 11 in a positioning mode, and the second sub-plate 12 is located at the initial position, so that the transmission plate 2 can be directly driven to rotate the second sub-plate 12 to the position of the positioning device 4 to be combined in a positioning mode, and the crystal switching is completed.
It can be understood that, after the second minute disc 12 is positioned and combined with the positioning device 4, the first minute disc 11 and the third minute disc 13 are both in contact with the second minute disc 12, at this time, the first minute disc 11 can be rotated to the left end point (the rotation angle can be excessive) by continuously rotating the transmission disc 2, at this time, the third minute disc 13 is still in contact with the second minute disc, and then the transmission disc 2 is rotated reversely, the third minute disc 13 is separated from the second minute disc 12, so that the first minute disc 11 and the third minute disc 13 are both kept at a certain distance from the second minute disc 12.
