Summary of the invention
For realizing a kind of undersized and stable laser of exporting in long chamber, the utility model adopts following technical scheme:
A kind of undersized long cavity laser of the present utility model comprises pump light source, optical coupling system, ante-chamber eyeglass, gain medium, back cavity eyeglass, and described each parts are arranged in order.Main, also comprise beam expanding telescope, light path folding reflection cavity.After described beam expanding telescope is arranged at gain medium, expansion of laser light gain media emitting laser mode field diameter; After described light path folding reflection cavity was arranged at beam expanding telescope, folding reflection lasering beam prolonged laser optical path.
Further, described beam expanding telescope is the transmission-type beam expanding telescope.
Further, described light path folding reflection cavity is two plane-parallel mirror groups.Perhaps described light path folding reflection cavity is some right-angle prism groups.
Further, between described gain medium and described beam expanding telescope, the passive mode locking optical element is set, constitutes the long cavate laser of small size of locked mode output.
Further, described passive mode locking optical element is coordinated Q crystal or semiconductor absorber SSAM.
Further, perhaps between described gain medium and described beam expanding telescope, frequency-doubling crystal is set, constitutes the long cavate laser of small size of low noise output.
Above-described each optical element can discretely be arranged and be constituted or described each optical element is combined on the identical platform, constitutes single whole small size device.
Because the employing technique scheme the utlity model has size little and long chamber output and stablizes cancellation green glow noise.Then can constitute the small size mode-locked laser if in the chamber, add the passive mode locking optical element.

Embodiment
Now in conjunction with the accompanying drawings the utility model is further specified.
As Fig. 1, shown in Figure 5, a kind of undersized long cavity laser of the present utility model, comprise pump light source (108), optical coupling system (107), ante-chamber eyeglass (101), gain medium (102), back cavity eyeglass (105), described each parts are arranged in order.Main, also comprise beam expanding telescope (104), light path folding reflection cavity (304).After described beam expanding telescope (104) is arranged at gain medium (102), expansion of laser light gain media (102) emitting laser mode field diameter; After described light path folding reflection cavity (304) was arranged at beam expanding telescope (104), folding reflection lasering beam prolonged laser optical path.
Operation principle of the present utility model places laser cavity with beam expanding telescope (104) exactly, to expand bundle to satisfy long chamber Len req from gain medium (102) emitting laser mode field diameter by beam expanding telescope (104), the endovenous laser behind the expansion bundle repeatedly reflects by small size or full injection folded optical path constitutes the long cavity laser of small size.
Further, described beam expanding telescope (104) is the transmission-type beam expanding telescope.Usually beam expanding telescope is reflective beam expanding telescope, and folded optical path is difficult for regulating, and the utility model adopts the transmission-type beam-expanding system more easy to operate.
As Fig. 2, shown in Figure 3, described light path folding reflection cavity is two plane-parallel mirror groups.Two plane-parallel mirrors (106A, 106B) realize that laser repeatedly reflects to reduce the laser size significantly in the laser cavity, because through beam expanding telescope (104), its laser beam is similar to directional light, then can be in parallel plane reflection repeatedly reflecting surface do not influence beam quality.
Further, between described gain medium (102) and described beam expanding telescope (104), passive mode locking optical element (103) is set, constitutes the long cavate laser of small size of locked mode output.
Further, described passive mode locking optical element (103) is coordinated Q crystal or semiconductor absorber SSAM.
As shown in Figure 3, introduce rhombic prism or other form total internal reflection prisms (1031), is one with passive mode locking optical element (103) by optical cement or in-depth optical cement with rhombic prism or other form total internal reflection prisms (1031), adopts prism can avoid aberration.The locked mode material of facing semiconductor absorber formula adopts with total internal reflection prism and can further reduce the complex structure that common low-angle reflection brings by in-depth optical cement mode.
Gain medium (102), passive mode locking optical element (103) can be less near front cavity mirror (101) fundamental mode volume, thereby can make gain medium (102) obtain higher oblique efficient, in passive mode locking optical element (103), obtain enough power densities simultaneously, optical mirror slip group (104A, 104B) constitutes beam expanding telescope (104) can make basic mode enlarged-diameter in the laser cavity, and long reach still keeps laser cavity to be in stable state thereby make beam expanding telescope (104) have very to back cavity eyeglass (105).
As shown in Figure 4, described light path folding reflection cavity (304) also can constitute for some right-angle prism groups.Two vertical planes of right-angle prism (305) are coated with complete reflectance coating, and laser optical path reflects between each right-angle prism (305), thereby obtain long light path.
Further, perhaps between described gain medium and described beam expanding telescope, frequency-doubling crystal is set, then can constitutes the long cavate laser of small size of low noise output.
As shown in Figure 5, be the schematic diagram of most preferred embodiment of the present utility model.102 are gain medium and be coated with the ante-chamber film, replace ante-chamber eyeglass (101), 103 is the passive mode locking optical element, gain medium (102) can be combined as a whole with passive mode locking optical element (103), 104 is beam expanding telescope, 304 is that one group of right-angle prism constitutes the light path folding reflection cavity, 305 are band reflectance coating right-angle prism, 306 is substrate, passive mode locking optical element (103), beam expanding telescope (104), right-angle prism constitutes light path folding reflection cavity (304), substrate (306) can be combined into single integral body, and 108 is the semiconductor pumping sources laser, 107 is coupled lens, and then its integral body can constitute single whole small size laser.
Above-described each optical element can discretely be arranged and be constituted or described each optical element is combined on the identical platform, constitutes single whole small size device.
The utility model to improve this regional power density, down obtains better locked mode effect thereby realize hanging down pump power owing to adopt transmission-type telescope chamber can make gain medium and locked mode optical element in the less basic mode size work of very short length.
