Description

Dual-mode superposition regulation laser
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of laser modulation, and particularly relates to the technical field of dual-mode superposition laser modulation.
Background
At present, a great deal of experimental research is carried out on vortex laser at home and abroad, and a great deal of results are obtained. Overall, compared with the optical fiber generation method, the space generation method has the advantages of compact overall system, wider topological charge number tuning range and easy realization. The space generation method has a certain problem in generating multiple singular point vortex beams, most of passive technical means can only generate vortex beams with fixed topological charge numbers, and it is difficult to realize tunable output of the topological charge numbers and multiple singular point OAM (Optical Angular Momentum optical orbital angular momentum), such as SPP (Surface Plasmon Polariton surface plasmon wavelet) can only be used for generating vortex beams with specific wave bands, and high-quality SPP, especially SPP for generating vortex beams with wave bands more than 2 μm in middle infrared, is very difficult to prepare; implementation of astigmatic mode transformation requires injection based on a specific HG (Hermite-Gaussian) mode, and cannot directly convert the fundamental mode beam; the SLM modulation and the nano optical super surface can realize the control of a large scale OAM, but the problems of low damage threshold, difficult tuning, high manufacturing cost, poor power expansibility and the like exist.
An OAM beam refers to a beam having optical orbital angular momentum, wherein HG mode describes the amplitude distribution of the beam in the vertical and horizontal directions, LG (Laguerre-Gaussian) mode describes the spiral nature of the beam, with a vortex-like phase structure.
Compared with the method, the solid laser system-based multi-singular point vortex beam generation in the active technical means in the space generation method is the simplest and most effective technical means for realizing OAM topology charge number tuning and can realize power expansion, and although the current common research is focused on Shan Jidian vortex beam tuning research, and the research on middle infrared 2 mu m and above wave band vortex beam tuning is almost blank, the potential of the method in multi-singular point OAM vortex beam tuning can be seen. Therefore, the solid laser system based on the active resonant cavity oscillation direct generation technology is hopeful to break through the technical bottleneck of multi-singular point OAM tunable 2 mu m vortex beam output.
In summary, with the development of the front-end fields such as the large-capacity communication wavelength division multiplexing and spatial multiplexing fusion technology, the multi-particle micro-nano-scale control, and even the multi-body military photoelectric countermeasure technology, the requirements of the multi-singular point OAM tunable vortex beam are urgent. Although researchers in various countries in the world have conducted intensive researches in theory and experiments, the analysis of the generalized general superposition evolution mechanism of the multi-singular point vortex light beam in the polymorphic group is not thorough, and the realization of the tunable vortex light beam output of the multi-singular point OAM in the wave band of 2 μm and above is difficult.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention provides a dual-mode superposition-regulated laser, which aims to solve the problem that the output of an infrared 2-mu m-band multi-singular point OAM tunable vortex beam is difficult to realize.
The laser comprises a pump light input module, a 45-degree reflecting mirror, a laser crystal, a half-reflecting half-lens, a high-order LG mode light generating module, a high-order HG mode light generating module and an output mirror;
the light emitted by the pumping light input module is transmitted into the laser crystal after entering the 45-degree reflecting mirror, and is emitted from the laser crystal and then enters the half-reflecting half-lens, the half-reflecting half-lens divides a light path into two paths, one path of the light is reflected into the high-order LG mode light generating module to generate high-order LG mode light, and the other path of the light is transmitted into the high-order HG mode light generating module to generate high-order HG mode light;
and after being emitted from the high-order LG mode light generating module, the high-order HG mode light returns to the 45-degree reflecting mirror along the original light path, and after being emitted from the high-order HG mode light generating module, the high-order LG mode light returns to the 45-degree reflecting mirror along the original light path, and the 45-degree reflecting mirror polymerizes the high-order LG mode light and the high-order HG mode light to form superimposed light and outputs the superimposed light through the output mirror.
The 45-degree reflecting mirror is coated with a high-transmittance film on the corresponding surface for receiving the light emitted by the pumping light input module, and is coated with a high-reflection film on the other surface.
Further, the high-order LG mode light generating module comprises a No. 1 Dove prism, a convex lens and a No. 1 high-reflection mirror, wherein the No. 1 Dove prism, the convex lens and the No. 1 high-reflection mirror are sequentially arranged along the incident light direction.
Further, the high-order HG mode light generating module comprises a No. 2 Dove prism and a No. 2 high-reflection mirror, and the No. 2 Dove prism and the No. 2 high-reflection mirror are sequentially arranged along the incident light direction.
Further, the pump light input module comprises an LD pump source, a No. 1 coupling mirror and a No. 2 coupling mirror; the No. 1 coupling mirror and the No. 2 coupling mirror are sequentially arranged along the direction of the emitted light of the LD pumping source.
Further, the LD pumping source, the No. 1 coupling mirror, the No. 2 coupling mirror, the 45-degree reflecting mirror, the laser crystal and the half-reflecting half-lens share the optical axis.
Further, the output mirror is co-axial with a 45 degree mirror.
Further, the half-reflecting half-lens, the convex lens and the No. 1 high-reflecting mirror share the optical axis.
The beneficial effects of the laser device of the invention are as follows:
(1) When the space method generates the multi-singular point vortex beam, the passive technical means can only generate the vortex beam in a fixed form, so that the tuning output of various OAM vortex beams is difficult to realize, the current common research of the active technical means is focused on the research of Shan Jidian vortex beam tuning, and the research of tuning the vortex beam in the wave band of 2 μm and above in the middle infrared is almost blank;
the laser fills the blank of middle-infrared 2 mu m wave band vortex beam tuning research, adopts the technical means that two vortex light modulation structures are overlapped together, finally generates the middle-infrared 2 mu m wave band multi-singular point OAM tunable vortex beam, and fills the technical blank.
(2) The laser adopts the principles of light path superposition and light path multiplexing, such as half-reflection and half-lens, so that the laser can split light and combine light paths, multiplexing of light path elements can be realized as much as possible, components can be saved, and the reduction of the volume of the laser can be realized.
(3) When vortex light generated by different devices is overlapped, the light path is not simply overlapped, stable vortex light overlapped output can be realized by coaxially processing the light generated by different devices, the most common technical means for coaxially processing is focusing, but for the coaxialization of a complex optical system or large-size vortex light, relatively longer optical path is required for focusing, so that the system is huge and loses compactness.
The laser can be applied to the technical field of tunable vortex beam output, the technical field of multi-singular point OAM beam output and other fields requiring tunable laser output.
