The self mode locking of realizing solid state laser then requires gain medium to have big non linear coefficient (n 2), so that enough strong self-focusing effect to be provided, and reduce the starting power of self mode locking.As: Ti:Sapphire, Cr:LiSAF, Nd; Gain medium such as YAG, Nd:YLF all has big non linear coefficient, can satisfy the requirement of self mode locking.But the Cr:LiSAF medium can not be exported the laser pulse of 1054nm, and Nd; YAG, Nd:YLF, Ti; Though the laser pulse about the exportable 1054nm of gain medias such as Sapphire, but Nd:YAG and Nd:YLF can not produce femtosecond pulse because of spectral half-width is narrow, wherein Ti:Sapphire gains lowlyer on the 1054nm wavelength, and can not use the laser diode pump-coupling; Nd:LMA (La 1-xMgNd xAl 11O 19Though) centre wavelength of laser medium on 1054nm because the non linear coefficient of itself is less, can not directly carry out kerr lens mode locking.So do not see so far the fully solid self mode-locked femto second laser that can produce the 1054nm laser pulse arranged.
Purpose of the present invention overcomes above-mentioned existing problems exactly, designs a kind of fully solid self mode-locked femto second laser that can produce the 1054nm laser pulse.
The designed fully solid self mode-locked femto second laser that can export the 1054nm wavelength of the present invention is to be made of pump optical system and laserresonator coupling, adopting the Nd:LMA of high-dopant concentration is gain media, do kerr medium with SF57, with laser diode-pumped realization; Its concrete technical scheme is, is pumping source with the laser diode, and pump light enters laserresonator by the pump optical system, is provided with optical lens group and half-wave plate in optical system; The structure of laserresonator is followed successively by, the Nd:LMA gain media, its input face is a planar ends, be coated with Double-color film, promptly to the high transmission of pump light, to the reflection of growing tall of the laser wave of 1054nm, the other end is the Brewster angle cutting, concave mirror before the gain media output beam reflects to height through slit, be provided with high reflection back concave surface mirror with preceding concave mirror relative position, the SF57 kerr medium that two ends are the Brewster angle cutting is set between two concave mirrors, and the outgoing beam of back concave surface mirror arrives the output plane mirror through a pair of compensating prism and slit, and the output plane mirror is fixed on the micrometric displacement vibrator.Feature of the present invention also is, the optical path length of whole laserresonator is adjusted near 1154mm, optical path length from the planar ends of gain media to preceding concave mirror is 400mm, concave mirror is 74mm to the optical path length of back concave surface mirror in the past, wherein preceding concave mirror to kerr medium front end is 24.7mm, optical path length from the back concave surface mirror to the output plane mirror is 680mm, wherein prism between apart from being 620mm.
The fully solid self mode-locked femto second laser that the present invention is designed, have big non linear coefficient and the SF57 of very fast response time as kerr medium owing to adopted, strengthened self-focusing effect, reduced self mode locking self-starting threshold power, make the Nd:LMA laser realize stable kerr lens mode locking, solved the Nd:LMA gain media because of the little directly problem of self mode locking of non linear coefficient, its laser pulse width can reach 610fs, wavelength 1054nm; Make the Nd:LMA laser realize total solidsization in laser diode-pumped mode, it is little to become volume, export stable femtosecond laser light source, it has important use and is worth in fields such as extensive and ultra-large laser system, field intensity physics, laser fusion, X-ray laser and ultrafast process researchs.
Accompanying drawing 1 is that gain media, SF57 are the structural representation of the fully solid self mode-locked femto second laser of kerr medium with Nd:LMA for the present invention is designed, and 1 is laser diode among the figure, and 2 is the pump optical system, 3 is half-wave plate, 4 is gain media, and 5 is slit, and 6 is preceding concave mirror, 7 is kerr medium, 8 is the back concave surface mirror, and 9 is compensating prism, and 10 is compensating prism, 11 is slit, and 12 is the output plane mirror.
