Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of lasers, in particular to a light spot superposition homogenizing anhydrous air-cooled laser based on a right-angle prism cavity and an output method.
Background
The laser is an important light source widely applied to the fields of medical treatment, communication, material processing and the like, and in the application, the symmetry of light spots has great influence on the quality of laser beams. However, the anhydrous and air-cooled laser can only adopt the mode of cooling, the heat dissipation capacity is poor, and serious thermal effects lead to the output laser spots to be in a long strip shape or a crescent shape, and the beam quality and the symmetry are poor. In addition, imperfections in the optical elements and scattering of the laser medium can also negatively impact the symmetry of the output laser spot, further resulting in poor output laser beam quality.
At present, methods for improving the symmetry of laser output light spots mainly comprise a method for limiting a laser mode, a method for improving the symmetry of a pumping light field and the like. The limited laser mode approach requires the introduction of additional optical components in the laser system, increasing the complexity and cost of the system and also resulting in reduced output power. Improving the symmetry of the pump light field requires that the pump light enters the gain medium with good symmetry. This is difficult to achieve for miniaturized laser systems without active heat dissipation. Therefore, a technical means for improving the spot symmetry suitable for the anhydrous and air-cooled laser is needed.

the right-angle prism, the gain medium, the saturable absorber and the output mirror are sequentially arranged from left to right along the light path direction;

the stepping motor is a three-degree-of-freedom stepping motor, and can realize pitch angle, roll angle and translation adjustment of the right-angle prism.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for homogenizing a superposition of laser light and a spot using the above laser, the method comprising the steps of:
s1: the pumping module emits pumping light and laterally pumps the gain medium;
s2: the gain medium absorbs the pumping light to generate energy level transition to realize particle number inversion;
s3: the initial transmittance of the saturable absorber is low, the loss in the laser resonant cavity is large, and laser oscillation cannot be formed.
S4: under the action of pumping light, the upper energy level particle number in the gain medium is continuously increased, the laser light intensity is increased, the transmittance of the saturable absorber is increased, the loss in the cavity is reduced, and the laser oscillates back and forth in the resonant cavity.
S5: laser in the resonant cavity is reflected by the right-angle prism, and the light spot rotates by 90 degrees.
S6: the laser output by the output mirror is emitted into the CCD camera through the 45-degree spectroscope, the CCD camera monitors the shape of the emergent laser spot and transmits information to the information processing device in real time, and the information processing device evaluates the symmetry of the output laser spot.
S7: when the information processing device judges that the output laser light spots are asymmetric, the information processing device transmits signals to a stepping motor driver, and the stepping motor driver controls the stepping motor to rotate by a corresponding angle and/or translate by a corresponding distance.
S8: when the information processing device judges that the output laser spots are symmetrical, the right-angle prism is adjusted to a final state, and the output laser spots are optimized.

The invention replaces the total reflection mirror in the optical resonant cavity with the right-angle prism, and the right-angle side of the right-angle prism forms 45 degrees with the vertical direction. After laser in the resonant cavity is reflected by the right-angle prism, the light spot rotates by 90 degrees, and the symmetry of the light spot is improved. Furthermore, the invention also adds a CCD camera and a stepping motor, and adjusts the rotation angle of the right-angle prism in real time according to the symmetry of the output light spots. The invention provides a technical scheme for improving the light spot symmetry, which has a simple structure and low cost.
