Abstract
The utility model relates to a low-noise total solid-state blue light laser resonator suitable for the frequency multiplication in an I-type phase matching multiple frequency crystal cavity, comprising a semiconductor laser, and a coupled lens, a laser crystal, an I-type phase matching multiple frequency crystal and an output cavity mirror which are arranged in turn on the same optical axis in the direction of pumping lights emitted by the semiconductor laser. The utility model is characterized in that: an etalon and a quartz crystal full-wave plate are arranged betwen the laser crystal and the I-type phase matching multiple frequency crystal. Because the utility model simultaneously adopts two frequency selectors which are respectively the etalon and a birefringent filter, so the output stability is improved and the multiple frequency laser noise is effectively lowered.
Description
Technical field
The utility model relates to all solid laser, particularly a kind of low noise all solid-state blue laser resonant cavity.
Background technology
The small-sized blue laser of semiconductor laser pumping intracavity frequency doubling is a kind of technology that fine prospect is arranged, and its scheme is to utilize diode-end-pumped Nd:YAG, suppresses 1064nm and 1319nm starting of oscillation by the plated film means, thereby obtains Nd
3+The 946nm transition (
4F
3/2-
4I
9/2) laser line, carry out intracavity frequency doubling with frequency-doubling crystal again, thereby obtain the blue laser output that wavelength is 473nm.A subject matter that influences this laser application is that the momentary fluctuation of output is big, and promptly noise is big.Studies show that, this noise mainly because of the many longitudinal modes of fundamental frequency light in frequency-doubling crystal with frequency effect, and the intercoupling of two polarized components of non-polarized Raman laser.Based on this theory, a direct method of elimination or minimizing laser noise forces the laser single-frequency operation exactly.The frequency-selecting method of having reported at present comprises:

Short cavity method menu longitudinal mode method needs restricted room long, and this has just limited endovenous laser crystal, frequency-doubling crystal and other various size of component, thereby makes power output very little and operational mode is single, only is fit to be applied in the microchip laser; F-P etalon menu longitudinal mode method generally need be inserted two etalons simultaneously just can reach desirable frequency-selecting effect, and this just makes that loss is excessive, thereby has limited the laser transformation efficiency; The ability of orthogonal polarization modes menu longitudinal mode method elimination Mode Coupling is not good enough, and long-term working stability is not enough; Birefringence filter plate method suppresses the limited in one's ability of many longitudinal modes running, single-frequency operation stable not good enough; Travelling-wave cavity method structure is too complicated, adjusts the difficulty height, is not suitable for producing in batches.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this utility model is to provide a kind of low noise all solid-state blue laser resonant cavity that is applicable to the semiconductor laser pumping intracavity frequency doubling, so that better solve its noise problem.
Technical solution of the present utility model is as follows:

This resonant cavity course of work is as follows:
Send pump light by coupling mirror incident laser crystal by semiconductor laser, the fluorescence that is ejected vibration in the resonant cavity of laser crystal left side and output cavity mirror composition produces many longitudinal modes fundamental frequency light; I class phase matched frequency-doubling crystal and the quartz crystal full-wave plate optically active to fundamental frequency light have constituted the birefringence filter plate, I class phase matched frequency-doubling crystal, quartz crystal full-wave plate and etalon acting in conjunction curb the unnecessary longitudinal mode composition outside the center die of this fundamental frequency light, only keep center die, make fundamental frequency light be the vibration of single longitudinal mode form; Single longitudinal mode fundamental frequency light is through forming the output of single longitudinal mode multiple frequency light after the non-linear frequency multiplication effect of frequency-doubling crystal 6.
Principle of the present utility model is as follows:
Use the frequency-selecting of F-P etalon, the transmissivity of F-P etalon changes with wavelength, and the transmissivity of F-P etalon is:
In the formula: R is the surface reflectivity of F-P etalon;
λ is the wavelength in the incident laser vacuum;
D is a F-P etalon thickness;
N is a F-P etalon d refractive index;
θ is ray refraction angle in the F-P etalon.
F-P etalon free spectral range scope is:
Wherein: α is the etalon angle of inclination.
By selecting suitable R, d and α make free spectral range and incident laser gain live width basically identical, and make in the gain live width and only contain two transmitance maximums, and then this etalon has played the effect of restriction incident laser bandwidth.Simultaneously, I class phase matched frequency-doubling crystal has had effect partially to incident laser, can regard an optical polarizer as, and it and quartz crystal full-wave plate have constituted birefringent filter.Incident laser becomes linearly polarized light through behind this frequency-doubling crystal, and this linearly polarized light is broken down into o light and e light through behind the quartz crystal, and the phase difference of this o light and e light round trip in quartz crystal is: δ=4 π l (n
o-n
r)/λ,
In the formula: l is a quartz crystal thickness, n
oAnd n
eBe o light under the different longitudinal mode correspondences and the refractive index of e light in quartz crystal, λ is the wavelength in the incident laser vacuum.Have only the longitudinal mode that satisfies δ=m π (m is a positive integer), turn back to the polarisation of light direction longitudinal mode identical with former polarization direction of polarizer, this polarizer just is zero to its loss.Polarizer has also just suppressed these longitudinal modes to other longitudinal modes existence losses in various degree, has reached the frequency-selecting effect.
The utility model has considered that simultaneously structure is comparatively simple, and cavity loss can not be excessive and low noise laserresonator design requirement such as single longitudinal mode steady operation, and the utility model advantage is:
(1) with respect to the travelling-wave cavity method, structure is comparatively simple, only inserts two additional optical elements altogether, and can satisfactorily finish low noise output steady in a long-term requirement equally, and this makes the batch process of laser become possibility;
(2) with respect to the short cavity method, owing to do not require the chamber is long, so can place more optical elements, and longer laser crystal and frequency-doubling crystal etc., thus power output can be improved;
(3) with respect to cross-polarization method and birefringence filter method, how much not complicated on the structure, but the utility model combines the frequency-selecting effect of etalon and birefringence filter plate, makes that single longitudinal mode output is more stable, can satisfy actual needs;
(4) with respect to F-P etalon method, owing to only adopt 1 etalon, under the similar situation of frequency-selecting effect, effectively reduce loss, and reduced laser and adjusted difficulty, this just embodies the better synthesis effect.
