Embodiment
To transfer Q electric light switch in the chamber is that operating state 1 is an example, and other state class seemingly.
Referring to Fig. 1,2, wherein 1, front cavity mirror, 2, tunable laser crystal, 3, transfer Q electric light switch in the chamber, 4,5 tuned cells, 6,7 Effect of Back-Cavity Mirror, 8, xenon lamp, 9, play device partially, 10 adjusting Q crystals, 11, polarizing beam splitter, 12, the electric-control system of adjusting Q crystal, A to the beam Propagation direction of B after being respectively the mutually perpendicular beam split in polarization direction.
The present invention uses in light beam double wavelength and double pulse laser device a kind of.This system is made up of the electric-control system 12 and the photoflash lamp 8 of front cavity mirror 1, laser crystal 2, the polarizer 9, adjusting Q crystal 10, polarizing beam splitter 11, two cover tuned cells 4,5 and Effect of Back-Cavity Mirror 6,7 and adjusting Q crystal successively from left to right.The laser crystal 2 that is suitable for doing photoflash lamp 8 pumpings is tunable laser crystal 2, itself has a polarization characteristic if laser crystal is luminous, and the polarizer 9 can omit (as mix chromium strontium fluoride aluminium Cr:LiSAF, mix chromium calcirm-fluoride aluminium Cr:LiCAF crystal).Utilize the polarizer 9, have the crystal 10 of transferring the Q function and polarizing beam splitter 11 accent Q electric light switch in the chamber that (as the film polarizer etc.) form, in the time of a pumping pulse, successively vibrate in the two way chambeies that make laser in front cavity mirror 1, laser crystal 2, chamber, transfer Q electric light switch 3, two cover tuned cells 4,5 and Effect of Back-Cavity Mirror 6,7 to form, its two-way wavelength difference has the dipulse of two different wave lengths to export from front cavity mirror in same light beam thereby reach.
The electric-control system 12 of adjusting Q crystal offers adjusting Q crystal 10 different voltage and wave voltage timing variations, the starting of oscillation, failure of oscillation and the multipulse generation that come the control chamber inner light beam by the change in voltage on the adjusting Q crystal 10 during work.
The electric-control system 12 of adjusting Q crystal adds on adjusting Q crystal 10 and moves back the following plurality of processes of being changed to of voltage:
1, before photoflash lamp 8 work, on adjusting Q crystal 10, add quarter-wave voltage (or being the positive and negative odd-multiple voltage of quarter-wave voltage), at this moment, light is by behind 9,10,11 elements, along A, B to each half transmission, because the oscillation wavelength difference of two-way, so two-way all is in the low reactance-resistance ratio state, by adjusting the gain (can pass through the photoflash lamp 8 pumping voltages of control tunable laser crystal 2) in the resonant cavity, two-way all can not starting of oscillation, does not have laser output;
2, after photoflash lamp 8 flashes of light, the time-delay certain hour (can determine according to actual needs by this time, be generally near the pumping peak value of the photoflash lamp of delaying time), utilize thyratron or other power technology to change the voltage on the adjusting Q crystal 10 into no-voltage or positive and negative all-wave voltage, at this moment the road system that is made up of element 1,2,3,5,7 is in high Q value, and be in low reactance-resistance ratio by 1,2,3,4,6 another road systems that form, the adjustable Q laser pulse of a road the resonance wavelength that nonoscillatory, output are made up of element 1,2,3,5,7;
3, the 100ns that delays time again is above, and (its greatest length is based on laser crystal 2 and pumping characteristic and experimental result to the number microsecond, with in the interbody spacer at this moment by element 1,2,3,5, a road of 7 compositions can only be exported a Q impulse and exceed), utilize 12 with voltage on 10 change into fast quarter-wave voltage (or for quarter-wave voltage just, negative odd-multiple voltage), this time is by 9,10, behind 11 elements, along A, B is to each half transmission, because two way oscillation wavelength differences, so two-way all is in the low reactance-resistance ratio state, by adjusting the gain (can pass through the photoflash lamp 8 pumping voltages of control tunable laser crystal 2) in the resonant cavity, two-way all can not starting of oscillation, does not have laser output.
4, delaying time a period of time, (this delay time starting point at interval is that the place as a result of process 2 is calculated again, if the half width of photoflash lamp 8 pumping pulses is greater than the upper level lifetime of laser crystal 2, then Yan Shi time is about the upper level lifetime of laser crystal, otherwise be limited to the upper level lifetime of laser crystal in the time-delay), utilize thyratron or other power technology to change the voltage on the adjusting Q crystal 10 into 1/2nd wave voltages or negative 1/2nd wave voltages, at this moment by element 1,2,3,4,6 road systems that form are in high Q value, and by 1,2,3,4, the adjustable Q laser pulse of 6 road the resonance wavelengths of forming;
5, finish the back before photoflash lamp 8 next pumpings in vibration then, the voltage on the adjusting Q crystal 10 returns to quarter-wave voltage, prepares to carry out next cycle.
