Description

LD pumping cogain double cavity very-large frequency difference double frequency Nd:YAG laser
Technical field
The invention belongs to the Solid State Laser technical field, relate to a kind of double frequency Nd:YAG laser, be specifically related to the double frequency Nd:YAG laser of a kind of laser diode (LD) pumping gain altogether two-chamber very-large frequency difference.
Background technology
People such as the France Rennes M.Brunel of university adopt the horizontal vertical pumping Nd:YAG of the orhtogonal linear polarizaiton titanium precious stone laser crystal at a distance of about 1mm of two bundles, a 1064nm quarter-wave plate is respectively placed to eliminate the effects of spatial of gain in the crystal both sides, fast by changing two wave plates, angle between the slow axis, and be aided with vitreous silica F-P etalon angle tuning, realized that frequency difference is the 1064nm double-frequency laser of the 0~26GHz output [M.Brunel that vibrates simultaneously, F.Bretenaker.Tunable optical microwave sourceusing spatially resolved laser eigenstates.Opt.Lett., 1997,22 (5): 384-386].The shortcoming of this two-frequency laser is: element is many in the chamber, complex structure, the frequency difference tuning process is loaded down with trivial details, be unfavorable for that frequency and frequency difference are stable, also be unfavorable for device miniaturization, and adopt ti sapphire laser to make pumping source, and increased the cost of laser system greatly, limited its range of application to a certain extent.
People such as the V.G.Gudelev of Byelorussia national academy of sciences design and have made a kind of tunable double frequency Nd:YAG of coupling cavity laser [V.G.Gudelev of LD end-pumping, V.V.Mashko, and N.K.Neekenko et al., Diode-pumped cw tunable two-frequency YAG:Nd 3+Laser withcoupled resonators.Appl.Phys.B 76,249-252 (2003)].Nd:YAG crystal both ends of the surface and sphere output coupling mirror have constituted three resonant cavitys (wherein two active cavities and a passive cavity), utilize mutual coupling between these three chambeies to close characteristic and carry out laser longitudinal module and select; By the output coupling mirror material that is within the laserresonator is applied applied external force to produce photoelastic effect, laser longitudinal module is divided, thereby output pairwise orthogonal linear polarization 1064nm continuous wave tunable double-frequency laser, the frequency difference tuning range is 50MHz~8.4GHz, has obtained the double-frequency laser output of 12mW under the 240mW draw power.The frequency difference of this two-frequency laser is also still smaller.
MITI of Japan has developed the post and telecommunications research laboratory the two longitudinal mode Nd:YVO of a kind of LD pumping frequency multiplication of outer-cavity 4Microplate green laser [the M.Tani of system, P.Gu, M.Hyodo, K.Sakai, and T.Hidaka, Generation of coherent terahertz radiation by photomixing of dual-modelasers.Optical and Quantum Electronis 32,503-520 (2000)].Used microplate thickness is 0.5mm, the about 3mm of cavity length, and by the long thermal drift of frequency stabilization system control chamber, obtaining frequency difference is the two longitudinal mode double-frequency laser outputs of 1064nm (the about 100kHz of live width) of 50.5GHz, having obtained frequency difference after exocoel LiNbO3 frequency multiplication is the double frequency 532nm green glow output of 101GHz, when the fundamental frequency luminous power was 220mW, 532nm green glow power output can reach 65mW.This couple of longitudinal mode double frequency Nd:YVO 4The shortcoming of micro-slice laser is that its frequency difference is difficult to further enlarge, and frequency difference can not be tuning.
Tsing-Hua University's precision measurement technology and instrument National Key Laboratory have carried out the LD pumping double frequency Nd:YAG laser technology research work [Huang Chunning based on the stress birfringence effect, Li Yan, Guo Hui etc., the tunable two-frequency laser of novel large frequency-difference, photoelectron laser, 2002,13 (3): 229~231].At monolithic Nd:YAG crystal two sides evaporated dielectric film, directly form the flat-matrix resonant cavity of sealing, when the LD draw power is not too big, can export the 1064nm single longitudinal mode laser; Fluid pressure is affacted on the diametric(al) of Nd:YAG crystal by pressue device, because the cause of stress birfringence effect, laser longitudinal mode splitting is the o mould and the e mould of two orhtogonal linear polarizaitons, thereby produce the output of 1064nm double frequency Nd:YAG laser, its frequency difference can be tuning with the change of impressed pressure, and the maximum frequency difference that experiment obtains is 3.4GHz.The shortcoming of this LD pumping stress birefringence double-frequency Nd:YAG laser is that the frequency difference tuning range is little, and because thoroughly do not eliminate the gain effects of spatial technically, so the LD draw power can not be too high, the result makes the power output of double-frequency laser smaller.
Beijing Institute of Technology photoelectric project system has designed that [Lu is verdant and thick based on the tunable double frequency Nd:YAG of the LD pumping laser that reverses the die cavity technology, Zhao Changming, Wu Keying, utilize little imbalance to reverse die cavity and produce double-frequency laser, Beijing Institute of Technology's journal, 1999,19 (3): 343-347], promptly place two orthogonal 1064nm quarter-wave plates of crystalline axis direction,, obtain single longitudinal mode vibration output to eliminate the gain effects of spatial in Nd:YAG crystal both sides; When these two quarter-wave plates are in little imbalance state, can realize double-frequency laser output, its frequency difference size depends on the misalignment rate of two wave plates, the frequency difference tuning range from tens MHz to 1GHz.The shortcoming of this two-frequency laser is that the frequency difference tuning range is little, and can't obtain the bigger double-frequency laser output of frequency difference.
At " Chinese laser " (2001,28 (2): the article 100-102) " large frequency-difference birefringence double-frequency Nd:YAG laser " (author: burnt star, Zhang Shulian, Liang Jinwen) a kind of LD pumping birefringence double-frequency Nd:YAG laser is disclosed, a birefringence F-P etalon of making of crystalline quartz is inserted in the resonant cavity of LD pumping Nd:YAG laser, because of there being birefringence effect in the chamber, each laser longitudinal mode splitting is the linearly polarized mode (being o mould and e mould) of two mutually orthogonals; Equally, the unique very big transmission peaks of F-P etalon also be divided into two (promptly being split into o peak and e peak) in the Nd:YAG laser gain bandwidth range.If make an o mould be positioned at the centre frequency place at o peak, and make an e mould be positioned at the centre frequency place at e peak, running when can realize o mould and e mould is exported thereby obtain the 1064nm double-frequency laser.Experiment is 0.645mm with the geometric thickness of crystalline quartz F-P etalon, cutting angle (angle between the optical axis of crystal and the plane of crystal normal) is 10 °, the Nd:YAG laser chamber is long to be 40mm, adjust the inclination angle of crystalline quartz F-P etalon in the chamber, vibration output when having obtained frequency difference and be about the two longitudinal mode double-frequency laser of the 1064nm orhtogonal linear polarizaiton of 2GHz.The shortcoming of this two-frequency laser be adjustment required precision to quartz crystal birefringence F-P etalon in the chamber than higher, frequency difference is smaller and can not be tuning.
At present, the frequency difference of the double frequency Nd:YAG laser of home and overseas colleague expert research and development is respectively less than 3.4GHz and 26GHz, and the frequency difference of the two longitudinal mode double frequency Nd:YVO4 microplate green (light) lasers of LD pumping is 101GHz.
