Description

Method for simultaneously transmitting visible and near infrared integrated multi-wavelength laser under single pump
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field, in particular to a visible and near infrared integrated laser emission method under single pumping.
Background
The transmission level of the optical network is continuously expanded, namely the transmission road width of the optical network is continuously and deeply analyzed, and the low-loss bandwidth resource of the full-wave quartz optical fiber is fully utilized. There is an urgent need to develop novel broadband optical amplification materials. Meanwhile, with the development trend of miniaturization and integration of optoelectronic components in recent years, the micro laser integrates a laser gain medium and a resonant cavity, has the outstanding advantages of small size, compact structure, low cost, low power consumption and the like, and is widely interested in scientific research and industry. The ultra-wideband and low-threshold micro laser with the working wave band positioned in the near infrared low-loss optical wave band (1260-1625 nm) has important application prospect in the fields of on-chip communication light source, high-density information storage, ultrasensitive sensing, optical precision measurement and the like, and the related research becomes the front edge of the photonics field. Especially, the light source on the silicon substrate in the later molar age, which is widely paid attention to in the present stage, provides a great challenge for the micro laser capable of simultaneously realizing the emission of the laser covering the O+E+S+C+L wave bands. The choice of the appropriate high gain medium and the high quality factor of the cavity is critical to achieving a micro laser as described above.
The rare earth ion doped light emitting device can increase the gain spectrum range to a certain extent by changing the matrix or rare earth ion co-doping, but the expected ultra-wideband light emitting device is difficult to obtain due to the limitation of the narrow-line light emitting characteristic of rare earth. Transition metal ions are in a specific coordination field environment in a crystal medium, and broadband luminescence with longer service life is shown in a near infrared band, but the application of the transition metal ions is limited by the preparation method and the processing requirement of the crystal. The glass medium has the advantage of easy processing, but transition metal ions are directly doped in the glass, so that the probability of non-radiative transition is increased due to the distorted coordination field environment in the glass medium. The glass composition is reasonably designed, a bulk glass precursor is prepared by adopting a traditional melting quenching method, and then the glass is subjected to heat treatment, so that crystals can be separated out in the glass, and the nanocrystalline composite glass is obtained. The size of crystal grains precipitated in the glass is generally tens of nanometers, which is far smaller than the wavelength of visible light so as to avoid scattering, so that the nanocrystalline composite glass can still keep good light transmittance and lower loss. Therefore, the transition metal ion doped nanocrystalline composite glass combines the advantages of the crystal and the glass, simultaneously eliminates the defects of the crystal and the glass, and can be used as a gain matrix material of a near infrared ultra-wideband light source.
It is assumed that if rare earth ions and transition metal ions can be doped in a glass system at the same time, luminescence of the rare earth ions and the transition metal ions can be obtained at the same time under a single pump, and the optical bandwidth is definitely greatly widened. The university of south China science and technology Zhou Shifeng in 2010 teaches open work in journal Journal of American Chemical Society of the American society of chemistry, designed SiO 2 /Na 2 O/Ga 2 O 3 /LaF 3 Specific glass system = 51/15/20/14 (mol%) capable of ordered precipitation of LaF 3 And Ga 2 O 3 Two nanocrystals such that Er is co-doped 3+ And Ni 2+ Can enter two kinds of nanocrystals respectively, benefit from the isolation of the distance between two kinds of active ions in physical sense and the change of local crystal field, effectively inhibit the energy transfer of the active ions with two different properties, and realize integrated multicolor visible and near infrared ultra-wideband fluorescence luminescence. Numerous researchers at home and abroad report more rare earth ions and transition metal ions co-doped double-phase nanocrystalline composite glass, but unfortunately, the glass is nanoThe nanocrystalline composite bulk glass is of an open structure, the light field binding capability of the nanocrystalline composite bulk glass is still limited, and laser emission in the double-phase nanocrystalline composite glass co-doped with rare earth ions and transition metal ions is not realized until now. Therefore, there is a need to develop a dual-phase nanocrystalline composite glass microsphere laser that can achieve laser emission with rare earth ions and transition metals co-doped, and can achieve visible and near infrared integrated laser emission with a single pump.

Detailed Description
It should be noted that the following detailed description is illustrative and is intended to provide further explanation of the application. Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs.
As described in the background section, the size of the crystal grains which can be precipitated in the nanocrystalline composite glass is generally tens of nanometers and is far smaller than the wavelength of visible light so as to avoid scattering, so that the nanocrystalline composite glass can still keep good light transmittance and lower loss. Therefore, the transition metal ion doped nanocrystalline composite glass combines the advantages of the crystal and the glass, simultaneously eliminates the defects of the crystal and the glass, and can be used as a gain matrix material of a near infrared ultra-wideband light source. There are reports (e.g. research progress of doped diphase nanocrystalline composite photon glass, gao Zhigang, et al, month 8 of 2021, laser)With optoelectronics development, volume 58, phase 15) mentions that co-doping of rare earth and transition metal ions in a dual-phase nanocrystalline composite glass, which is Au/gamma-Ga, is capable of retaining the respective luminescence characteristics 2 O 3 The biphase nanocrystalline composite glass realizes optical amplification in 1310nm wave band of optical fiber communication after rare earth and transition metal ions are co-doped. The nanocrystalline composite bulk glass is of an open structure, the light field binding capability of the nanocrystalline composite bulk glass is still limited, and laser emission in the double-phase nanocrystalline composite glass co-doped with rare earth ions and transition metal ions is not realized until now.
Based on the above, the application aims to provide a dual-phase nanocrystalline composite glass microsphere laser integrating visible light and near infrared light under a single pump. By preparing the double-phase nanocrystalline composite glass microsphere co-doped with the transition metal ions and the rare earth ions, two kinds of nanocrystals are simultaneously separated out from the nanocrystalline composite glass microsphere cavity, excellent crystal field coordination environments are respectively provided for the rare earth ions and the transition metal ions, and the laser simultaneous emission of the visible light 450-700nm and the near infrared band 750-2000nm can be realized under a single pumping light source. Compared with the existing nano-crystal composite glass microsphere cavity doped with more rare earth ions, the dual-phase nano-crystal composite glass microsphere laser co-doped with rare earth ions and transition metal prepared by the application has wider laser emission peak and lower threshold. As in Er 3+ : the threshold of the laser with the wavelength of about 1.53 mu m is 282 mu W, which is higher than E reported earlier r3+ Doped NaYF-containing 4 The laser threshold of the single-phase nanocrystalline composite glass microsphere is reduced by 1.24 times when the wavelength of the single-phase nanocrystalline composite glass microsphere is approximately 1.557 mu m and is 350 mu W. Glass microsphere based on whispering gallery mode (Whispering Gallery Mode, WGM) can utilize total reflection principle to restrict light in micrometer-level cavity for a long time, so that it has extremely high quality factor (not less than 10) 5 ) And extremely small mode volumes (. Ltoreq.10) 3 μm 3 ) The interaction between light and substances can be enhanced by fully utilizing the Peltier effect. The luminescent ions are introduced into the microsphere to have gain and feedback, so that the WGM microsphere laser is formed, and the laser threshold is far lower than that of the traditional semiconductor and fiber lasers, and reaches the micro-watt or hundred-nano-watt level.
