Description
The utility model relates to a kind of Optical devices, particularly a kind of two directional pump pulsed light parametric oscillation amplifying device.
Utilize the optical parametric effect in the nonlinear optical crystal, develop efficient broad tuning Laser Devices is that one of approach of application prospect is enlivened, has most in the tunable laser field the most always.For realizing broad tuning, must use wideband resonance chamber mirror.In order to press narrow output linewidth, must in resonant cavity, add various dispersing optics elements.The method for pumping of tradition optical parametric oscillation and amplification is that chamber, pump light transmission broadband mirror removes the pumping nonlinear optical crystal.Because pump light power density height, only special dura mater chamber mirror just can bear, and is not destroyed.But special dura mater chamber mirror limited bandwidth can not be realized all band (for example visible waveband) continuous tuning.Thereby in use must change chamber mirror (promptly broad tuning) continuously, very inconvenient.In addition, high-intensity pump light also often destroys the dispersing optics element.For this reason, the someone designed two separate pump light light paths as: document 1, B.C.Johnson et.al.J.Opt.Soc.Am.B/Vol.12 (1995) 2122.Their index path is shown in Fig. 2, pump light is all-trans for the dichroic mirror at 45 to optical axis (4) and (5), see through parameteric light, make pump light only shine nonlinear optical crystal (2), and can not exposure cavity mirror (1), (13) and tuned cell grating (11) and chamber, broadband mirror (12), avoid high-strength light to destroy tuned cell like this and can use general chamber, broadband mirror.But this design brings a critical defect, promptly only there is gain in the parameteric light of propagating on the direction, and dichroic mirror (4) and (5) are big to the loss of parameteric light, cause the threshold value of parametric oscillator to raise, efficient reduces (parametric amplifier has also obviously been reduced amplification coefficient), and has to a certain degree influenced the width of continuous tuning.
The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcoming and defect of above-mentioned prior art, overcome original technology and only nonlinear crystal is carried out unidirectional pumping, just there is gain in the parameteric light to single-phase propagation, parameteric light to reverse propagation (vibration is for propagating back and forth in the chamber) is the present situation of loss on the contrary, thereby provide a kind of two directional pump light path, so that reverse propagation parameteric light also obtains gain, thereby reduce the parameter threshold value and improve the parameter conversion efficiency.The purpose of this utility model is achieved in that

Owing to adopted such scheme, realized two-phase pumping nonlinear optical crystal, make reverse propagation parameteric light also obtain gain, thereby reduced the parameter threshold value and improved the parameter conversion efficiency.And the utility model only increases by a face-pumping light total reflective mirror on the basis of original technology, the angle of setting precision is identical with resonant cavity, and installation position only requires cardinal principle and resonant cavity equivalent optical path, equipment is simple, make very easily, and raising parametric oscillation or amplification effect is obvious, both kept the two isolation technologies of original pump light can not change the advantage that the chamber mirror is realized continuous broad tuning, remedied again and inserted loss in the chamber that original technology causes and increase, threshold value has been raise, the shortcoming that conversion efficiency reduces.Combine with the two isolation technologies of original pump light, can realize practicability efficient (raising the efficiency 30%), continuous broad tuning optical parametric oscillator and amplifier, to reducing narrow linewidth optical parametric oscillator threshold value (40%) obvious effects is arranged especially. is elaborated to the utility model below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and example: Fig. 1. two separate pump light index path Fig. 3 of Double-way pumping nanosecond pulse optical parameter oscillating amplifier principle index path Fig. 2 .B.C.Johnson et al. design. and two directional pump nanosecond pulse principle of device index path Fig. 4. a kind of enforcement illustration Fig. 5 of Double-way pumping nanosecond pulse optical parameter oscillating amplifier. a kind of enforcement illustration Fig. 6 of Double-way pumping nanosecond pulse optical parameter oscillating amplifier. a kind of enforcement illustration Fig. 7 of Double-way pumping nanosecond pulse optical parameter oscillating amplifier. a kind of enforcement illustration Fig. 8 of Double-way pumping nanosecond pulse optical parameter oscillating amplifier. a kind of enforcement illustration drawing of Double-way pumping nanosecond pulse optical parameter oscillating amplifier is described as follows: (1) output coupling mirror (wideband resonance chamber mirror), flashlight or idle light are all-trans; (2) nonlinear optical crystal; (3) the bandwidth chamber mirror that is all-trans is with (1); (4) dichroic mirror, the pump light that is all-trans sees through parameteric light; (5) dichroic mirror is with (4); (6) the pump optical plane mirror that is all-trans; (7) pump light; (8) output parameter light; (9) beam splitter (Compound Cavity is used); (10) dispersion element (or its combination) and the broadband chamber mirror that is all-trans presses narrow parameteric light live width to use; (11) grating; (12) broadband total reflective mirror is with (1); (13) broadband partially reflecting mirror, the output coupling is used; (14) broadband partially reflecting mirror, the input coupling is used;
