Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of lasers, and particularly relates to a 1.6-micrometer injection locking solid laser based on a double-pyramid resonant cavity and a generation method.
Background
Because the 1.6 μm laser is located in the atmospheric transmission window, and the receiver device thereof is developed more mature, the safety threshold of human eyes is 10 times higher than that of the 2 μm laser. Therefore, the single-frequency and large-energy 1.6-micron pulse laser has extremely important application in the fields of coherent Doppler wind-finding radar, differential absorption laser radar, laser imaging radar and the like.
At present, injection locking technology is mainly adopted for realizing single-frequency and large-energy pulse laser output. The working principle of the injection locking technology is that single-frequency narrow-linewidth seed laser is injected into a slave laser with higher output power, so that narrow-linewidth high-power laser output is realized, and the injection locking technology is suitable for coherent laser radar application.
However, the secondary laser is easily detuned due to the influence of factors such as vibration, ambient temperature change, air interference, etc., and the detuning can significantly affect the stable operation of the secondary laser, and the primary reason for the detuning of the secondary laser is that the intracavity oscillation light deviates out of the cavity due to the modulation influence of the inclination angle of the normal line of the cavity mirror, and the detuning angle of the cavity mirror reaches the order of angular seconds, which can cause the unstable output mode of the laser and the reduction of the output energy, so that the 1.6 μm single-frequency pulse laser cannot stably work in various applications for a long time. Therefore, how to improve the anti-detuning capability of the 1.6 μm single-frequency solid-state laser becomes a research focus for realizing the engineering application of the single-frequency 1.6 μm laser.

The generation method of the 1.6 mu m injection locking solid laser based on the double-pyramid resonant cavity comprises the steps of providing seed laser by a non-planar annular cavity (NPRO), forming the resonant cavity by two pyramid prisms, compensating the stability of the double-pyramid laser by using a compensating lens, using an acousto-optic Q switch as a Q-switching element, adjusting the output power of the double-pyramid laser by using a half wave plate, adjusting the cavity length of the double-pyramid laser by using a double-wedge mirror adhered with piezoelectric ceramics, matching the resonant frequency of 1.6 mu m single-frequency continuous seed laser, feeding a resonant signal back to a control circuit by an InGaAs detector, and controlling the acousto-optic Q switch to complete seed light injection by the control circuit, thereby realizing single-frequency high-energy 1.6 mu m pulse laser output.

The double-pyramid laser can effectively avoid the detuning of the resonant cavity caused by factors such as vibration, environmental interference and the like, thereby influencing the stable operation of the resonant cavity. Because the laser which is incident into the pyramid prism at any angle in space can be reversely output by parallel incident light, no matter what detuning occurs to the pyramid prism, an oscillation light path in the resonant cavity is always kept unchanged, the volume of a laser mode can not be changed, and the output laser cannot be influenced.
