Embodiment
Now with embodiment the utility model is further specified in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
The utility model adopts the optics processing method that micro-slice laser is processed into the thickness superthin structure; plate in the side or glue together the lower protective layer of refractive index; and adopt highly heat-conductive material that thin-sheet laser is surrounded or place mobile cooling liquid or gas fast and effeciently the heat heat conduction that is produced being walked thin-sheet laser, thereby it can be worked under high pumping power.
Embodiment 1:
Consult Fig. 1 (a) and Fig. 1 ' (a) shown in, wherein 101 is ultra-thin gain medium microplate, 102A is identical with gain medium microplate 101 materials but the optical substrate of the active ions that do not mix with 102B, micro-slice laser 10 is exactly to be formed by optical substrate 102A, gain medium microplate 101, optical substrate 102B gummed, S1, S2 are the chamber rete of the logical light face of laser, 103 is fiber optic collimator rod or other optical coupling system, 104 is the pumping source of high power LD or LD array, and 105A, 105B are for having the high thermal conductivity coefficient material bodies.Wherein, d represents the microplate thickness of the utility model micro-slice laser.Two sides or four sides of micro-slice laser 10 non-logical light are the optical polish face.This moment as with two of micro-slice laser 10 or four non-logical light side polishings and plate refractive index than its low protective film; plate refractive index than its low protective film as levels S3, S4; then will form similar waveguiding structure at micro-slice laser 10; the LD light of pumping source 104 and oscillation light will be limited in the ultra-thin gain medium microplate 101, thereby obtain high intracavity power density.As not plating the low-refraction protective layer, then be ordinary construction.
Principle of the present utility model is: the quick shaft direction of the pump light in high power LD or LD array pumping source 104 adopts optical fibre rod or other optical systems collimation for rectangular 103, and pumping ultra-thin gain medium microplate 101 of the present utility model; Micro-slice laser 10 makes its thickness d reach designed waveguide sheet thickness or the required minimum thickness of common resonant cavity by the side polishing; The material of optical substrate 102A, 102B is identical with gain medium microplate 101, helps gain medium microplate 101 end-face heat sinkings.High thermal conductivity coefficient material bodies 105A, 105B closely contact with micro-slice laser 10, thereby can will produce heat in the micro-slice laser 10 in time, effectively lead away; Because the d value is very little, as about 100 μ m, the approximate waveguide state that is, pump light wire pumping simultaneously makes micro-slice laser 10 that very big heat radiation cross section be arranged, thereby can realize high power pump and laser generation.
As micro-slice laser 10 is not the waveguide cavity structure, can adopt both sides polishing mode cancellation because the affected layer that the optics cutting produces, and can make crystal thickness be reduced to theoretical permissible value, and be delivered to heat-conducting layer thereby make crystal pumping center produce heat with the shortest vertical range, thus but efficiently radiates heat.As adopt laser crystal Nd:YVO4 commonly used, and its conductive coefficient is 5W/m/K, then more little helping more of thickness d dispels the heat.

Embodiment 3:
Consult shown in Fig. 1 (c), plate the lower protective film of refractive index around the micro-slice laser 10 and form the microchip waveguiding structure, pump light and oscillation light form high power density and obtain higher gain in the vibration chamber.Link to each other with highly heat-conductive material around the microplate simultaneously, so that its quick heat radiating.Other and described embodiment 1 structural similarity of Fig. 1 (a) repeat no more.
Micro-slice laser of the present utility model can produce fundamental wave output, also can produce various ways laser outputs such as pulse, frequency multiplication, OPO, and various materials constitute THIN COMPOSITE chip structure by the in-depth optical cement.For example:
Consult shown in Fig. 2 (a), wherein, 201 is frequency-doubling crystal, as ktp crystal; 202 is gain medium, and as the Nd:YVO4 crystal, to be material identical with gain medium 202 but the optical substrate of the active ions that do not mix for 202A, 202B, as YVO4 crystal etc.Each optical element is become one by optical cement or in-depth optical cement mode.At the rear end face S2 of frequency-doubling crystal 201 front end face S1 and optical substrate 202B plating laser cavity film, at the side of micro-slice laser 10 S3, S4 plating low-index film or gummed highly heat-conductive material, as silicon chip etc.
