Description

324-powered 500nm continuous laser triple frequency laser
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a 324-doped 500nm continuous laser, in particular to a triple frequency laser of a 324-doped 500nm continuous laser.
Background
The high-power continuous ultraviolet laser is widely applied to the fields of high-resolution laser spectrum analysis, single-photon rydberg state excitation of neutral atoms, quantum physics, optical data storage, optical disk control, photochemical reaction, atmospheric detection, coherent laser detection, biomedicine, advanced manufacturing, semiconductor industry and the like. Ultraviolet laser has the characteristics of short wavelength and high single photon energy, and is commonly used for ultraviolet-induced photochemical reaction and cold treatment. In the field of micromachining, ultraviolet lasers have the following advantages: first, the diffraction limit is small, the beam diffraction limit is an important factor limiting the minimum size to be processed, and the shorter the corresponding wavelength is, the smaller the minimum focal point diameter can be reached; secondly, the high-energy single photon can directly break the chemical bond of the material molecule, namely, the cold treatment process, and compared with the method that the frequency doubling light and the fundamental laser melt the material of the processing part by utilizing the collected heat, the heat influence of the ultraviolet laser is very small; thirdly, most materials can absorb ultraviolet light in nature, and the characteristic of the ultraviolet laser enables the ultraviolet laser to process a plurality of materials which can not be processed by frequency doubling laser and fundamental frequency laser.
At present, the technical scheme for obtaining the high-power continuously tunable all-solid-state ultraviolet laser mainly comprises the following steps:
firstly, a femtosecond laser is obtained by doping titanium sapphire in a green light pump, and then frequency multiplication is carried out on the femtosecond laser to obtain ultraviolet laser output (high-power green light is difficult to obtain and high in cost);
secondly, the frequency of the near-fundamental laser output by the laser diode is directly doubled (the efficiency is very low);
and thirdly, triple frequency or quadruple frequency of the fundamental frequency all-solid-state laser.
Among them, the triple frequency technique by fundamental laser can be generally used to obtain ultraviolet and double frequency band laser. Taking 355nm laser as an example, the high-power 355nm laser mainly comprises pulse or quasi-continuous laser which is currently put out in the laser market. For example, a 355nm UV laser with 30kHz repetition rate and 12w maximum power, as proposed by the United states Spectroscopy physical company; the United states coherent company provides a birefringence compensation technology for series connection of LD pump double rods, and realizes a 355nm ultraviolet laser with a repetition rate of 8kHz and power of 160W. No 355nm continuous laser with a compact structure and above the watt level is reported at present, the maximum output power of continuous 355nm frequency tripling which can be found in the literature is 410 milliwatts [ see Conference on laser and Electro-Optics 1996, ISBN: 1-55752-. Another frequency tripling technical scheme for generating continuous 355nm laser is frequency tripling by adopting a single-pass two cascaded PPSLT crystals (see Advanced Solid-State Photonics 2012,29 January-1 February2012, ISBN: 978-1-55752-933-6), and the scheme has the advantages of simple and compact structure and good output power stability, but is limited by the damage threshold of the second-stage sum frequency crystal, and only about 50mW of stable output of 355nm laser can be obtained at present.

The generated 355nm triple frequency ultraviolet light 12 is output through the cavity mirror 804, and 1064nm and 532nm laser light is finally filtered by the harmonic separator 9.
The technical effects of the utility model:
the utility model discloses can only realize the continuous ultraviolet output of powerful 355nm with the triple frequency of one set of 1064nm, wherein change the resonance doubling of frequency of first order into the one-way doubling of frequency 4 back, can realize the stable output of powerful 532nm doubling of frequency light, its line width is narrower, and the beam quality is better than the doubling of frequency light that the resonance doubling of frequency produced. The resonance and frequency cavity 8 of the second stage only needs to be locked to 532nm laser, the locking loop is simpler, and the stability of the continuous operation of the laser can be better.
Compared with the scheme of singly passing through two cascade period polarized crystals, the utility model greatly improves the ultraviolet output power; compared with the common technical scheme of resonance and frequency cavity dual-wavelength locking, the method has the advantages of no need of multiple sets of resonance and lasers, simpler light path structure, more stable output power and lower cost.
