Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the utility model is described further.
(1) ps pulsed laser and ns pulsed laser converter plant (flat-concave cavity system)
A kind of ps pulsed laser and ns pulsed laser converter plant as shown in Figure 1, 2,1 place is mirror holder, and the inside fills the eyeglass of half inch, and front cavity mirror is flat mirror, material is calcium fluoride, filming parameter is HT@1064nm, HR@1450 ~ 1750nm, HT@2700 ~ 4000nm, Effect of Back-Cavity Mirror is concave mirror, curvature R is-100mm, and material is also calcium fluoride, and filming parameter is consistent with front cavity mirror; 2 places are PPMgO:LN (the periodic polarized lithium niobate of magnesium oxide doping), and polarization cycle is 29.4um, long 50mm, wide 4mm, high 2mm, logical light end face is 4mm*2mm, end face coating, parameter is HT@1064nm, HT@1450 ~ 1550nm, HT@3600 ~ 3900nm; 3 places are temperature-controlling system, wherein 5 is copper billet, there are PDE plate and heating rod below, for detection and control temperature, temperature-controlled precision is 0.01 degree Celsius, and little ceramic gasket is arranged at copper billet bottom, 6 is a circle pottery parcel, like this except bottom, copper billet and ceramic integument do not contact, can better temperature control; 4 places are the control line of PDE plate and heating rod, are connected with controller in outside, realize temperature and control.
Conllinear is wanted at the center of Effect of Back-Cavity Mirror concave surface and the center of nonlinear crystal two end faces, and the plane of Effect of Back-Cavity Mirror is parallel with the end face of crystal, also parallel with the plane of front cavity mirror.
The 1064nm fiber laser of selection and comparison maturation is as pumping source, and it has industrially had very ripe application---and laser marking machine, maximum power output is 50W.Because the hot spot of marking machine is all comparatively large, focus on more difficult, so first carry out contracting bundle, then select with polaroid the laser light making vertical polarization, refocusing, place with a tight waist is the subcircular hot spot that diameter is about 120um.Laser throws ps pulsed laser and ns pulsed laser frequency-variable module again into after small holes, and focal position is distance front end face about 1/3 place in nonlinear crystal, then sees that reflection spot beats the where place at aperture.Because chamber mirror and nonlinear crystal have all plated high transmittance film, intensity of reflected light is very weak, so do not worry that reflected light can damage pumping source laser instrument.Regulate the attitude such as pitching, inclination of ps pulsed laser and ns pulsed laser frequency-variable module, make reflection spot revert all through small hole center, pumping laser is described through the center of nonlinear crystal two end faces and the center of Effect of Back-Cavity Mirror concave surface, and vertical with crystal end-face, describe in detail and see that (when (a) adjusts, reflected light revert all passes through aperture to Fig. 3; B, when () pumping laser and crystal end-face out of plumb, reflected light can not back through aperture; When () pumping laser is without the center of Effect of Back-Cavity Mirror concave surface c, there is the obstructed small holes of reflection spot).And then increase pump power, when gain is greater than loss, the Laser output after frequency inverted just can be obtained.
Conveniently regulate, go out to devise a cross in the entrance port of this device and exit portal, the bore of entrance port and exit portal is 5mm, the center of entrance port and exit portal and the center conllinear of nonlinear crystal end face.First regulate the attitude of this device, allow pumping laser inject from the center of entrance port cross, penetrate from the center of exit portal cross, complete coarse adjustment; And then the reflection spot observed on aperture, regulate the attitude of this module, make all reflection spots all pass back through aperture, complete fine tuning.
The experiment proved that, power can be obtained with this device to export more than the frequency conversion laser of the 3.8um wave band of 1W, and achieve the Laser output of tunable wave length by changing temperature, export frequency conversion laser wavelength (Wavelength) with temperature (Temp) variation relation (signal) as shown in Figure 4.Use PPMgO:LN and the cavity mirror system in other cycles instead, at 1500 ~ 5000nm wave band, the frequency conversion laser that can both obtain the tunable wave length of higher-wattage exports (idler).Except this, use all solid state nanosecoud pulse laser instead as pumping source, also can obtain similar experimental result.
(2) ps pulsed laser and ns pulsed laser converter plant (crystal end-face plated film)
Another kind of ps pulsed laser and ns pulsed laser converter plant, comprise nonlinear crystal, material is PPMgO:LN, and polarization cycle is 29.4um, long 50mm, wide 4mm, high 2mm, logical light end face is 4mm*2mm, end face coating, parameter is HT@1064nm, HR@1450 ~ 1550nm, HT@3600 ~ 3900nm; Crystal end-face has plated the high-reflecting film to flashlight---and HR@1450 ~ 1550nm, constitutes resonator cavity with this; Also temperature control system will be had.Such nanosecond pulse frequency-variable module, shorten because chamber is long, loss reduces, and pumping threshold is lower than the module in (), and corresponding conversion efficiency can be high.But such device carries out multiple reflections by the end face coating of nonlinear crystal to flashlight, its damage threshold also can be relatively once low.Other aspects, the ps pulsed laser and ns pulsed laser frequency-variable module of this type also has other features of device in (), as can by control temperature wavelength tuning realizing frequency conversion laser etc.

As shown in Figure 5, ps pulsed laser and ns pulsed laser converter plant and laser shaping and focusing system are combined, form a large module in dotted line frame, then extract with optical fiber.User when in use, only need pumping laser to be well coupled into optical fiber and (note the numerical aperture of optical fiber, ensure that pumping laser is less at optical fiber internal loss), do not need to carry out other operations again and just complete adjustment, using can be convenient.
And when design, laser shaping and focusing system needs do a coupling according to the diameter of optical fiber and the optical fiber Output of laser angle of divergence, make focal beam spot in the position of the forward end face of crystal about 1/3, spot size is 100 ~ 200 microns, and it is vertical with the end face of nonlinear crystal from the laser direction of optical fiber output, laser, through the center of nonlinear crystal two end faces, also passes the center of Effect of Back-Cavity Mirror concave surface.The governing loop being equivalent to mention before in (one) has been placed on design and assembling link, and user need not regulate again, and using can be more convenient.
Especially, if the optical fiber of conduction pump light is not only by this root optical fiber, but also be the gain fibre of doping gain media, laser is obtained like this in gain fibre, directly enter into laser shaping and focusing system, then pumping ps pulsed laser and ns pulsed laser frequency-variable module, obtains the frequency conversion laser required for us.It is the equal of so just the continuously adjustable nanosecond laser of wavelength of an optical-fiber laser pumping.
