Description

Continuous wave 330nm sodium star-guiding laser system and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of crystal Raman lasers, and particularly relates to a continuous wave 330nm sodium star-guiding laser system and application thereof.
Background
In the self-adaptive optical system, the laser is utilized to excite sodium layer atoms to obtain high-brightness beacon light, so that wavefront distortion caused by atmospheric disturbance is compensated, the resolution of the foundation optical telescope can be greatly improved, and the technology is always a research hot spot in the astronomical observation field. At present, a monochromatic 589nm laser source is a main technical scheme of sodium star-guiding laser and is widely used, namely, 589nm monochromatic laser is utilized to excite sodium layer atoms to generate monochromatic fluorescence with the same frequency, backward fluorescence is transmitted to a telescope through the atmosphere, a self-adaptive optical system detects and compensates wavefront distortion caused by atmospheric disturbance, and finally, the near-diffraction limit observation resolution is realized. However, the sodium beacon star based on monochromatic laser has irremovable atmospheric tilt aberration, which affects the performance of the sodium guide star adaptive optics system. The research shows that the 330nm laser can also resonate with sodium atoms, and compared with 589nm monochromatic laser excitation, the 330nm laser excitation of sodium atoms can generate multi-band fluorescence of 2207nm, 1104nm, 589nm, 330nm and the like, and the multicolor sodium beacon can effectively eliminate atmospheric oblique aberration. Therefore, the polychromatic sodium star-guiding laser light source based on 330nm laser has important application and scientific research value. Compared with 330nm laser with high peak power pulse, 330nm laser with continuous wave operation has higher average power, and the excited fluorescent photons in unit time have high number density, thereby being beneficial to telescope acquisition and avoiding nonlinear attenuation effect of atmosphere to the high peak power pulse laser.
The Chinese patent application CN 106299997A discloses a solid laser source suitable for generating multi-color sodium guide star, and a related patent of a 330nm laser, which discloses that a semiconductor pumping light source is utilized to generate laser into pulse laser, and the laser with a first wavelength and the laser with a second wavelength are respectively doubled by a double frequency module and a quadruple frequency module, and the final output is converted into 330nm pulse laser.
However, the output beam of the existing 330nm laser disclosed in the patent publication is pulse laser, which is limited by severe thermal effect of a semiconductor laser gain medium, high-power continuous wave output cannot be realized, a pumping source is a semiconductor pumping light source, and a semiconductor is used as a pumping, so that the quality of the laser beam is poor.
Several methods for obtaining 330nm lasers are described in "polychromatic laser star using a single laser at 330 nm" published in adaptive optics progression II ", 6.28.2006: 1. the Nd-doped YAG or YLF gain media has a very strong laser emission spectrum at 1.3 μm. With frequency quadrupling, a 330.3nm laser can be obtained, but is limited by the severe thermal effects of the gain medium, which is also the pulsed laser output. 2. YAG laser at 532nm and 870nm Ti: the saphire laser sum frequency produces 330.3nm laser light, which is very complex, expensive, and also a pulsed laser output. ( See in detail: jean-Paul Pique, ioana c.molcovan, vincent fesque, hugues Guillet de Chatellus, fabien Marc, "Polychromatic laser guide star using a single laser at nm," proc.spie 6272,Advances in Adaptive Optics II,62723D (28June 2006); https:// doi.org/10.1117/12.692350 )
Wherein, the gain medium of YAG or YLF doped with Nd has strong laser emission spectrum at 1.3 mu m, and the laser with 330.3nm can be obtained by frequency doubling, but is limited by serious thermal effect of the gain medium, and the laser is also pulsed laser output.
Wherein, using a 532nm Nd: YAG laser and 870nm Ti: the saphire laser sum frequency produces 330.3nm laser light, which is very complex, expensive, and also a pulsed laser output.
