Description

Multi-focus end pumping device applied to DPAL
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of lasers, in particular to a multi-focus end face pumping device applied to DPAL.
Background
The pumping source of a semiconductor Pumped Alkali metal Vapor Laser (DPAL) is a semiconductor Laser (LD), and the gain medium is Alkali metal (rubidium Rb, cesium Cs, potassium K) Vapor and buffer gas (helium, hydrocarbon small molecule gas, etc.). DPAL is expected to realize high-power and high-beam-quality laser output, and has wide application prospect in the fields of industrial processing, national defense and the like.
At present, the existing DPAL end-pumped optical path structure is shown in fig. 1, and mainly comprises a semiconductor laser, a fast-slow axis collimating mirror, a line width narrowing module, a beam shaping module, and a beam focusing mirror. The pumping light emitted by the LD passes through the fast-slow axis collimating lens, the line width narrowing module and the beam shaping module and is focused to a single focus by the focusing lens, and the focus is generally positioned at the center of the air chamber. In the vicinity of the focal point, the power density of the focused pump light exceeds the threshold power density, and effective pumping can be achieved, and this region is referred to as an effective pumping region. Outside the effective pumping area, the pump light gradually diverges, and its power density decreases and is below the threshold power, which does not effectively pump the gain medium.
In implementing the concept of the present invention, the inventors found that at least the following problems exist in the related art: the pump light energy focused by the single focus is concentrated near the focus, and even if the pump light with high power is injected, the axial length of the effective gain area is not increased obviously. Therefore, the gain region of the alkali metal gas cell is not effectively utilized, the absorption efficiency of the pump light and the utilization rate of the gain medium are low, and the pumping efficiency is correspondingly limited. In addition, most of the pump light energy is focused at a single focus, which causes uneven transverse distribution of energy in the effective gain region, and is not easy to realize mode matching, thereby being difficult to output alkali metal laser with higher beam quality.
In addition, in the alkali metal vapor chamber, after the gain medium is pumped by the high-power pump light in the effective gain region, some pump light which cannot be effectively absorbed is easy to form heat accumulation, which causes serious thermal effect. The thermal effect may cause the refractive index of the gas in the alkali metal vapor chamber to change, resulting in thermal lens effect, which may adversely affect the beam quality of the alkali metal laser. The heat effect enables the temperature at the single focus to be relatively high, the temperature of the air chamber area far away from the focus to be relatively low, the temperature gradient of the air chamber is large, and the difficulty of heat management is improved. Therefore, the heat management cannot be effectively performed, so that the operating temperature in the alkali metal vapor chamber cannot be stabilized at the optimum operating temperature, and the output power and the beam quality of the alkali metal cannot be stabilized.

The specific meaning of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art as appropriate.
Figure 2 schematically illustrates an optical path diagram of a multi-focus end-pumping arrangement applied to a DPAL according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 2, the multi-focus end-face pumping device applied to DPAL in the embodiment of the present invention includes a semiconductor laser 1, a fast axis collimator 2, a slow axis collimator 3, a line width narrowing module 4, a beam shaping module 5, a multi-focus lens 6, and an alkali vapor chamber 7, which are sequentially disposed.
The semiconductor laser 1 is suitable for the absorption wavelength of DPAL, pump light emitted by the semiconductor laser 1 enters the line width narrowing module 4 after being collimated by the fast axis collimating mirror 2 and the slow axis collimating mirror 3, and beam shaping is carried out in the beam shaping module 5 after the collimated pump light is narrowed to a preset line width;
the pump light after beam shaping enters a multi-focus lens 6, the multi-focus lens 6 is used for focusing the pump light into a plurality of focuses which are positioned on the same axis, the pump light focused by the multi-focus lens enters a resonant cavity, and the alkali metal laser is emitted from the resonant cavity.
With the embodiment of the present invention, the exit surface of the semiconductor laser 1 is equipped with a Fast Axis Collimator (FAC) for collimating the LD Fast Axis. A Slow Axis Collimator (SAC) is installed behind the fast Axis Collimator 2 to collimate the Slow Axis.
Since the absorption linewidth of D2 of alkali metal atoms is very narrow, the typical high-power LD linewidth is much wider than the absorption linewidth of alkali metal atoms. In order to improve the absorption of the pump light by the alkali metal vapor, the laser line width of the LD needs to be narrowed. Therefore, the LD can enter the line width narrowing module to narrow the line width after being collimated.
Because the difference of the beam parameter products of the fast and slow axes of the laser can reach hundreds of times, a common focusing system can not obtain a nearly circular light spot, and the light beam needs to be shaped to reduce the difference of the beam parameter products of the fast and slow axes. The pump light after passing through the beam shaping module can be better matched with the mode of the resonant tank, and the absorption efficiency of the gain medium on the pump light is improved.
Therefore, after the pump light collimated by the fast and slow axes is narrowed to a proper line width by the line width narrowing module 4, the beam shaping module 5 shapes the beam to match the mode of the alkali metal laser. The multi-focal lens 6 then focuses the beam-shaped pump light into multiple focal points, which may be located on the same axis, for example, see f0, f1, and f2 in fig. 2.
By adopting the embodiment of the invention, the multi-focus pumping mode is adopted, so that the pumping light energy is axially distributed along the optical axis. The axial distribution mode ensures that the high-power pump light cannot be gathered at a single focus, thereby avoiding the transverse widening of a gain region and ensuring that the transverse distribution of the pump light energy is more uniform. The mode matching can be better realized, and the alkali metal laser with higher beam quality can be obtained.
In some embodiments, the multifocal lens 6 is a single multifocal lens or a plurality of constituent multifocal lens groups.
In some embodiments, the multifocal lens 6 comprises a fresnel lens or a diffractive multifocal lens. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the multifocal lens 6 may be other desirable lenses.
Preferably, the plurality of focuses of the multifocal lens 6 are uniformly distributed on the same axis. That is, for example, f0, f1, and f2 in fig. 2 are equally spaced on the same axis.
In order to improve the quality of the outgoing beam of the alkali metal vapor chamber 7, in some embodiments, the axes of the multiple focal points of the multifocal lens 6 coincide with the optical axis of the alkali metal laser.
In some embodiments, a laser beam expander 8 is further disposed between the beam shaping module 5 and the multi-focal lens 6, and the laser beam expander 8 is used for compressing the divergence angle of the laser beam.
Further, the laser beam expander 8 is a single beam expander or a plurality of beam expander sets.
Wherein the beam expander set comprises a transmission type beam expander telescope, a Galileo type or a Kepler type.
According to the embodiment of the invention, the pump light after beam shaping can be incident to the laser beam expander 8, the laser beam expander 8 can compress the divergence angle of the laser beam, and the expanded pump light can be approximately regarded as a parallel beam, so that the pump light can be focused into a light spot with a smaller size, and the mode of the alkali metal laser can be matched more easily. The expanded pump light is then incident on the multifocal lens 6.
In the embodiment of the invention, the resonant cavity comprises an alkali metal vapor chamber 7 and a resonant cavity mirror 9 arranged on the incident and emergent light paths of the alkali metal vapor chamber 7. Therefore, the alkali metal vapor chamber 7 and the resonant cavity mirror 9 jointly form a resonant cavity, and the pumping light enters the resonant cavity to emit alkali metal laser.
Further, the number or the pitch of the plurality of focal points of the multifocal lens 6 may also be determined according to at least one condition of the alkali metal vapor chamber 7 length, the alkali metal vapor density, the buffer gas pressure, and the pump light intensity.
With continued reference to fig. 2, the multi-focus end pumping apparatus of the present invention operates according to the following principle: the pump light focused by the multi-focus focusing lens 6 is incident from the end surface to the alkali metal vapor chamber 7, and a plurality of focuses of the pump light fall within the alkali metal vapor chamber 7. Therefore, in a plurality of focus adjacent areas with the pumping power density exceeding the threshold power density, the pumping light can be effectively absorbed by the gain medium, the gain medium in the air chamber is effectively utilized, and the pumping efficiency is effectively improved; after the high-power pump light is distributed along the axial direction, the effective gain area is not widened transversely any more, the transverse distribution of energy is more uniform, and the mode matching is easier to realize so as to obtain the alkali metal laser with better beam quality; and the temperature distribution in the air chamber is more uniform, the influence of the heat effect is reduced, the heat management is more convenient, and the beam quality of the alkali metal laser is more stable.
In summary, embodiments of the present invention provide a multi-focus end pumping apparatus applied to a DPAL, where a multi-focus pumping manner is adopted, pump light energy is distributed along an optical axis in an axial direction, so that high-power pump light is not concentrated at a single focus, thereby avoiding lateral widening of a gain region, and lateral distribution of pump light energy is more uniform. The invention can better realize mode matching, thereby obtaining the alkali metal laser with higher beam quality.
