Abstract
The utility model discloses a laser resonator with high efficiency, which comprises a total reflective mirror, an output mirror, and a laser working medium. The total reflective mirror is composed of an inner side of a first right-angle circle plate and a lateral side of a reversed right-angle cone. The first right-angle circle plate and the right-angle cone share the same rotating symmetrical axis, and the inner and the lateral sides of the circle plate and the cone are both high reflecting surfaces. The output mirror is composed of a pellicle mirror on the circle plate and the total reflective mirror which is on the edge and shape in concentric ring. Similarly, the pellicle mirror and the total reflective mirror share the same rotating symmetrical axis. The total reflective mirror shaped in concentric ring is composed of an inner side of the second right-angle circle plate and a lateral side of the reversed third right-angle circle plate. Both the right-angle circle plates share the same rotating symmetrical axis and the inner and the lateral sides of the two plates are high reflecting surfaces. The laser resonator can eliminate the negative result caused by the non-uniform distribution between the center and the edge of the gain medium, has small divergent angle and high quality beam. Besides, the spot area of the output laser can be compressed so the power density of the output laser spot will be increased. Thus, the utility model can be used in the air or solid state laser with middle and high power.
Description
Technical field
The utility model relates to laserresonator.
Background technology
In many occasions that laser is used, in little Precision Machining such as for example laser drilling, welding, cutting and laser medicine, wish that all laser preferably can be operated in the basic mode state of angle of divergence minimum.In order to improve laser beam quality, traditional mode selection technique (as using aperture diaphragm) can make the beam quality of laser output improve, but uses aperture diaphragm to limit mode volume to a great extent, has increased mode loss.
The subject matter that occurs in the design of high power laser light device is, how to obtain the transverse mode distinguishing ability that big as far as possible mode volume is become reconciled, with the running of realization high power single mode, thereby can from activated material, extract energy expeditiously, can keep high beam quality again.
Laserresonator commonly used has three kinds of stable cavity, unsteady cavity and critical resonators.
The loss of stable cavity is very low, and how much deviation losses of paraxial ray are zero, and as long as the Fresnel number in chamber is not too little, and diffraction loss is also little of usually can ignoring, thus in the overwhelming majority, low-power device all adopts stable cavity.When we require the operation of laser high power basic mode, because the basic mode mode volume of stable cavity is too little, and irrelevant with resonant cavity minute surface size.This just means the lateral dimension that increases active medium or increases the raising that resonant cavity minute surface size is helpless to basic mode laser beam power output, causes many transverse mode runnings of laser on the contrary easily, reduces the quality of output beam.
With generally stablize the sphere chamber and compare, the waveform limitation capability of unsteady cavity significantly improves; In addition, more insensitive because waveform is a spherical wave to influences such as the dynamic refractive index distortion of operation material, therefore be used for the high-gain laser system, can obtain the quite little high brightness output beam of the angle of divergence.The loss of unsteady cavity mainly is the divergence loss of paraxial ray, and the loss of one way is very big, can reach tens percent.For obtaining high power output, the lateral dimension of operation material is often bigger, so diffraction loss can be ignored.Because the loss in chamber is bigger, need to adopt side effusion output coupling usually, so be output as the annular beam of center sky.This intonation is whole to require height, and can not be used for all kinds of Optical Maser Systems low gain or thin bore.
Plane-parallel resonator is a kind of chamber type of extensive use in the critical resonator, and it is made up of a plane total reflective mirror and a plane semi-transparent semi-reflecting lens.The major advantage of plane-parallel resonator is: beam directionality's fabulous (angle of divergence is little), mode volume is bigger, than being easier to obtain single-mode oscillation.The major defect of plane-parallel resonator is: adjust the high and easy imbalance of required precision, compare with stable cavity, loss is also bigger, and is not quite suitable to little gain device.
Application number 99816848.3 discloses a kind of " resonant cavity contains the laser of top in shape circular cone prism "; Application number 200420017131.2 discloses a kind of " right angle internal conical surface reflector laser resonance cavity ".The resonant cavity that these two patents propose is to use right angle circular cone prism and right angle internal conical surface total reflective mirror to replace the total reflective mirror of plane-parallel resonator, utilize the right angle circular cone prism resonant cavity and the right angle internal conical surface total reflective mirror resonant cavity of the retrodirective reflection characteristic composition of right angle circular cone prism and right angle internal conical surface total reflective mirror, can reduce the adjustment requirement in chamber greatly.Simultaneously, these resonant cavitys outside the characteristics of small divergence angle, also have high stability except having the big mode volume of plane-parallel resonator.But the shortcoming of this two classes resonant cavity is: can not eliminate the influence of gain media center and edge uneven distribution; Can not compress the area of output laser facula, thereby improve the power density of output facula, can not realize the laser output of belt hollow hot spot; Circular cone prism chamber, right angle thermal stability is low, and the prism of some laser wavelength needs special optical crystal manufacturing, costs an arm and a leg.
