Description

Multi-wavelength Raman laser
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of laser, and particularly relates to a multi-wavelength Raman laser which realizes output of multi-wavelength first-order stimulated Raman scattering laser by utilizing broken line type transmission of laser in a strip-shaped stimulated Raman scattering crystal.
Background
The laser technology has been widely applied in many fields such as basic scientific research, clinical medicine, information communication, industrial technology and the like, and is a powerful tool for exploring and developing the advanced fields. With the development of the fields of laser differential detection, laser communication, spectral analysis, laser ranging and the like, the laser with a single wavelength cannot meet the application requirements, and thus a laser capable of generating multiple wavelengths is required. The laser is limited by the energy level structure of the laser gain material, and can only output laser of certain specific wave bands, so that the multi-wavelength laser generation technology with simple structure and reliable performance has important scientific significance.
At present, multiple means for obtaining multi-wavelength laser are available, mainly including: nonlinear sum frequency, nonlinear frequency doubling, optical parametric oscillation, stimulated Raman scattering, laser direct modulation and the like. The Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) is a third-order nonlinear effect, and is an effective means for realizing laser frequency conversion. When the photons of the fundamental frequency excitation laser interact with the nonlinear Raman crystal, the excited Raman scattering laser photons are generated and simultaneously emit or absorb a phonon. The frequency of the stimulated raman scattering laser differs from the frequency of the fundamental excitation laser by a frequency difference, which is called nonlinear frequency shift. The frequency of the stimulated Raman scattering laser is determined by the incident fundamental frequency laser frequency and the Raman medium, and the frequency shift amount of each nonlinear frequency conversion depends on the Raman characteristic spectral line of the nonlinear Raman crystal. Through one or more times of stimulated Raman scattering frequency conversion, a series of new laser wavelengths can be obtained. Compared with the technical means such as nonlinear frequency doubling, optical parametric oscillation and the like, the stimulated Raman scattering phase matching condition is not strict, and laser wavelength which cannot be obtained due to the fact that the parametric oscillation is limited by phase matching can be obtained.
At present, the commonly used raman laser implements multi-wavelength output, mainly including: a scheme of obtaining multi-wavelength output by using multi-order stimulated Raman scattering process or cascade stimulated Raman scattering process [ r.p. mildry, et al. Efficiency, all-solid-state, raman laser in the yellow, orange and red. Optics.express,2004,12,785-790]. However, the scheme has the disadvantages that the nonlinear conversion efficiency of the higher-order stimulated raman scattering is low, the nonlinear conversion processes of all orders are mutually influenced, the stability of the output stimulated raman scattering laser is poor, and the determination of practical application is not facilitated.
A scheme of multi-wavelength output is obtained by utilizing first-order frequency conversion of a plurality of Raman characteristic spectral lines [ Duan, Y., equivalent. RbTiOPO4 captured Raman operation with multiple Raman frequency shifted by Q-switched Nd: YAlO3 laser Sci Rep,2016,6,33852]. The polarization direction of the incident laser of the scheme is along one main axis direction of the Raman crystal, and a plurality of Raman frequency shift characteristic spectral lines exist in the main axis direction. The disadvantages of the scheme are that: the stimulated Raman scattering lasers with various wavelengths corresponding to different Raman frequency shift characteristic spectral lines compete with each other, and the stimulated Raman scattering lasers with various wavelengths are poor in power stability and practicability.
A scheme for obtaining multi-wavelength output by using various laser nonlinear crystals [ Hongbin Shen, et al, simultaneous minor-wavelength operation of Nd: YVO4 self-Raman laser at 1524nm and unadopped GdVO4 Raman laser at 1522nm, optics. Letters,2012,37,4113-4115]. The disadvantages of the scheme are that: increasing the number of nonlinear stimulated raman scattering crystals increases the complexity and cost of the system.
The scheme of multi-wavelength output is obtained by using the different stimulated Raman scattering characteristic spectral lines in different polarization directions of anisotropic crystal [ Shuanghong Ding, et al. Thermal and experimental research on the multi-frequency Raman converter with KGd (WO 4) 2crystal, optics. Express,2005,13,10120-10128]. The electric field polarization direction of incident fundamental laser is arranged between two mutually perpendicular main axis directions of the nonlinear Raman crystal, the incident laser forms two independent polarization components in the two main axis directions of the Raman crystal, stimulated Raman scattering is respectively generated in the two main axis directions of polarization, and the wavelength of the scattered laser is determined by Raman frequency shift characteristic spectral lines in the two main axis directions of polarization of the crystal. Because the Raman frequency shift characteristic spectral lines in different polarization directions are different, the stimulated Raman scattering lasers with two different wavelengths are generated, and therefore multi-wavelength operation is formed. The disadvantages of the scheme are that: the incident laser forms two independent polarization components in the two main axis directions of the nonlinear Raman crystal to respectively generate stimulated Raman scattering, so that the laser intensity in a single polarization direction is weakened, and the nonlinear frequency conversion efficiency is reduced; meanwhile, the polarization directions of the lasers with the new wavelengths are different, so that the lasers are inconvenient to use in applications related to polarization of the lasers.

The reflector 4 is plated with a fundamental laser high-reflection film, and can vertically irradiate fundamental laser to the strip-shaped stimulated Raman scattering crystal 5.
And the strip-shaped stimulated Raman scattering crystal 5 is used for enabling the vertically incident fundamental frequency laser to generate a first-order stimulated Raman scattering effect and perform broken line type transmission to obtain multi-wavelength stimulated Raman scattering laser.
Fig. 2 shows a schematic structural diagram of a strip-shaped stimulated raman scattering crystal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
In one example, the nonlinear material that the strip-shaped stimulated raman scattering crystal 5 can adopt is tungstenPotassium gadolinium acid (KGd (WO) 4 ) 2 KGW). As shown in fig. 2, the strip-shaped stimulated raman scattering crystal 5 is an anisotropic biaxial crystal, and raman characteristic lines in the respective principal axis directions are different from each other.
As shown in fig. 2, the strip-shaped stimulated raman scattering crystal 5 is shaped as a hexahedron, two side surfaces of which may be parallelograms or isosceles trapezoids, and the other 4 surfaces S1, S2, S3, S4 are optical surfaces. The four optical surfaces S1, S2, S3, S4 are perpendicular to the two sides. When the two side surfaces of the strip-shaped stimulated raman scattering crystal 5 are parallelograms, the acute angle of the parallelogram is 45 °. When two side surfaces of the strip-shaped stimulated raman scattering crystal 5 are isosceles trapezoids, the base angle of the isosceles trapezoids is 45 °.
In one example, two opposite optical surfaces of the four optical surfaces of the strip-shaped stimulated raman scattering crystal 5 are fundamental laser transmission surfaces and are plated with fundamental laser and first-order stimulated raman scattering laser antireflection films; the other two opposite optical surfaces are base frequency laser reflecting surfaces, and are plated with base frequency laser and a first-order stimulated Raman scattering laser high reflecting film.
For example, as shown in FIG. 2, if the optical surfaces S1 and S4 are fundamental laser transmission surfaces, the optical surfaces S1 and S4 are coated with fundamental laser and first-order stimulated Raman scattering laser antireflection coating systems. Then the optical surfaces S2 and S3 are reflection surfaces of fundamental frequency laser, and the optical surfaces S2 and S3 are plated with a high reflection film system of fundamental frequency laser and first-order stimulated Raman scattering laser.
In one example, three mutually perpendicular optical refractive index principal axes of the strip-shaped stimulated raman scattering crystal 5 are a first principal axis, a second principal axis and a third principal axis respectively; the first main shaft is perpendicular to the two side surfaces and parallel to the four optical surfaces, the second main shaft is parallel to the fundamental frequency laser transmission surface and forms a 45-degree angle with the fundamental frequency laser reflection surface, and the third main shaft is perpendicular to the fundamental frequency laser transmission surface and forms a 45-degree angle with the fundamental frequency laser reflection surface.
The fundamental laser vertically enters a fundamental laser transmission surface of the strip-shaped stimulated Raman scattering crystal 5, the fundamental laser is reflected for multiple times between two fundamental laser reflection surfaces along the second main shaft or the third main shaft and the polarization direction of the third main shaft or the second main shaft, thereby realizing fold line type transmission, and the transmission and the output are realized through the other fundamental laser transmission surface of the strip-shaped stimulated Raman scattering crystal 5.
The following description will be given taking the first principal axis as the principal axis Np of optical refractive index, the second principal axis Ng as the principal axis Ng of optical refractive index, and the third principal axis Nm as the principal axis Nm of optical refractive index, but the first principal axis, the second principal axis, and the third principal axis are not limited thereto.
As shown in FIG. 2, three mutually perpendicular optical refractive index principal axes of the strip-shaped stimulated Raman scattering crystal 5 are respectively Np, nm and Ng axes, and the corresponding refractive indexes are respectively n p 、n m 、n g (n p <n m <n g ).

When fundamental laser light is perpendicularly incident on the optical surface S1, its propagation direction is along the principal optical refractive index axis Ng, and its polarization direction is along the principal optical refractive index axis Nm. After the fundamental laser is reflected by the optical surface S3, the propagation direction of the fundamental laser is along the principal axis Nm of the optical refractive index, and the polarization direction is along the principal axis Ng of the optical refractive index. The next reflecting surface of the fundamental laser light is the optical surface S2. The fundamental laser light undergoes multiple reflections between the optical surfaces S2 and S3, and undergoes zigzag transmission in the strip-shaped stimulated raman scattering crystal 5.
When the fundamental laser passes through the strip-shaped stimulated Raman scattering crystal 5, nonlinear frequency shift occurs due to the first-order stimulated Raman scattering effect, and laser with a new wavelength is generated. In the process of transmitting the fundamental laser by the fold line, the optical axes of the propagation direction and the polarization direction are alternately changed between the optical refractive index principal axis Ng and the optical refractive index principal axis Nm, the characteristic spectral lines of the stimulated Raman scattering are also alternately changed, namely the Raman frequency shift quantity is also at 901cm corresponding to the optical refractive index principal axis Nm -1 And 767cm corresponding to the principal axis Ng of the optical refractive index -1 Alternate between them, therefore, the corresponding two Raman frequency shift quantities (901 cm) can be obtained -1 And 767cm -1 ) Stimulated pulling of two wavelengths ofThe raman scattering laser can obtain a plurality of wavelengths of stimulated raman scattering laser in the same way.
According to the multi-wavelength Raman laser, the fundamental frequency laser is transmitted along a single polarization direction in the Raman crystal all the time, two polarization components are not formed, and the polarization direction of each generated new wavelength laser is the same as that of the fundamental frequency laser; the optical length of the fundamental laser passing through the stimulated Raman scattering medium is increased through fold line type transmission, the nonlinear gain and the conversion efficiency of the stimulated Raman scattering are increased, and the method has the advantage of strong practicability.
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the above descriptions are only for the convenience of understanding the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
