Abstract

The utility model discloses a new-type optical diode, which is mainly used in an annular chamber laser. The new-type optical diode is a key device to realize one-way travelling wave oscillation. The thin quartz plate with difficult technique of the utility model is replaced by a structure with small angle of rotation obtained by the subtraction of new-type optical diodea left hand quartz plate and a right hand quartz plate. The optically active form is an adhesive structure of composite layers (left hand quartz | faraday glass | right hand quartz). The adhesive structure of composite layers enhances the optical and mechanical property of the new-type optical device evidently. A permanent-magnetic clamp made of NdFeB material replacing SmCo material reduces cost and decreases the volume of the device. The new-type optical diode is favorable for the performance improvement of the annular chamber laser. The cost of the new-type optical diode is equal to 1/10-1/15 of the cost of device with same function made in US.

Description

New-type optical diode
This utility model belongs to laser new unit technical field.
Optical diode is the optical-unidirectional device again.Its key property is to present unequal optical impedance for forward and the reverse light wave that passes through.Being mainly used in the ring laser resonant cavity, is to make ring laser realize the Primary Component of stable unidirectional traveling wave running.
The operation principle of the optical diode of existing type be utilize the magnetic rotation of material (faraday) effect nonreciprocity with natural-optical rotation effect (optical activity) but reciprocity superposition mutually.Requirement disappears mutually along two kinds of rotation effects of forward (magnetic field coordinate) of device, thereby does not change the polarization direction of direct wave.And it is very low to insert loss; Along device oppositely then is that two kinds of rotation effects are long mutually.When light beam oppositely passed device at every turn, plane of polarization was turned over a suitable angle.With respect to the intrinsic polarization direction of loop laser resonance cavity, the angle of rotation of this addition can cause the loss that is enough to suppress the returning wave vibration.Thereby make laser energy (because mode competition) stably concentrate on single capable ripple direction.
The visible light wave range optical diode has United States Patent (USP) two kinds of (1), (2) and China's reports (3) at present:
(1)United States Patent 4,194,168 Mar,18,1980 Unidirectional Ring Laser Apparatus and Method
(2)Design and Performance of a Broad-Band Optical Diod to Enforce One-Direction Traveling-Wave Operation of a Ring Laser
IEEE J.Q.E,Vol.QE-16,No.4,Apr.1980,9483-
(3) 801D type active frequency stabilization continuous wave tunable dye laser development report
Changchun Inst. of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in September, 1986
The optical diode that is used for the annular chamber dye laser at present is above-mentioned United States Patent (USP) (1), (2).Their major defect be because device contain free only 0.1mm thickness the high optics quality directed quartzy thin slice and technology difficulty is very big.Rate of finished products is very low, and cost is very high.Wherein a kind of, light beam normal incidence, (Fig. 1-a) is so that forward inserts loss is bigger to experience four optical surfaces; Another kind of light beam is with a Brewster's angle process farad mat woven of fine bamboo strips optically-active medium.It is less that forward inserts loss, but device volume is huge, and device is inserted or shifted out light path and causes the traversing (Fig. 1-b) of light beam.The adjusting of laser cavity is very inconvenient.
The purpose of this utility model provides a kind of construction and device of new optical diode.Overcome the above-mentioned shortcoming of existing device.Further improve the performance of optical-unidirectional device.Simplify technology difficulty significantly, reduce manufacturing cost.
Structure of the present utility model as shown in Figure 2, the main points of invention are as follows:
(1) gives up the free element (referring to Fig. 1) of the thick directed quartzy thin slice of the great 0.1mm of technology difficulty.The desired about 3 ° natural-optical rotation angle of optical diode changes by two suitable same Z of the simple thickness of technology and realizes to the thickness difference of the left-handed of orientation and right-handed quartz sheet.Select manufacturing process routinely easily to realize the wafer thickness t of high optical quality, only control left-handed in the grinding and the thickness difference dextrorotation wafer, make t Right-t A left side=0.1mm.
(2) farad terbium borate glass that mat woven of fine bamboo strips optically-active medium is produced with Japanese Hoya FR-5 rotation glass or Tianjin silicate.Thick about 2mm, normal incidence work.But be not free the placement, but the left-handed right-handed quartz sheet described in (1) is bonding, forms a kind of (dextrorotation of left-handed farad mat woven of fine bamboo strips glass) type lamination layer structure (2-1 among Fig. 2).Matching optics glue glued adhesion with special development.All optical element is bonded into one and has not only improved the mechanical property of device, and because free optical surface reduces half than existing device, because optical match, residual reflection loss on the glue interface and passband width are far superior to present device and rely on the plating level that anti-reflection film reached.
(3) with new cheap and have more the nd-fe-b permanent magnetic alloy of high energy product and replace the expensive samarium cobalt permanent magnet alloy that uses in the United States Patent (USP) and make the desired permanent magnetic field of farad mat woven of fine bamboo strips optically-active.Utilize a kind of reversed polarity cascaded structure (2-2 among Fig. 2) further to improve the magnetic field intensity (H of working region 2≈ 0.35T) and radially uniformity.And retaining shaft is to the inhomogeneities of field intensity.
(4) a kind of axial micro-adjusting mechanism (2-3 among Fig. 2) makes as (2) described composite stratotype optically active form and can finely tune as the axial location in (3) described magnetic field.Promptly by a fine setting farad mat woven of fine bamboo strips angle of rotation, with fine compensation because foozle or because the farad mat woven of fine bamboo strips angle of rotation Q that the difference of two media rotatory dispersive causes FWith natural-optical rotation angle Q NBetween deviation.Thereby guarantee to reach Q at whole service band N-Q F=0 °, make device have minimum forward to insert loss.
The utility model has the advantages that: the manufacturing technology difficulty of optical diode is reduced significantly.With the United States Patent (USP) ratio, the technology difficulty coefficient is about 1:10.Thereby domestic general optical instrument factory or laboratory can both be made.
In the lamination layer structure optically active form of compactness, replace anti-reflection deielectric-coating with the optics gummed, make residual reflection dwindle 5 times.A nearly step has been improved the forward transmitance of device.
In the lamination layer structure optically active form of compactness, be wrapped in the poor slightly Faraday rotation glass of chemical stability with physical property and the fabulous quartz plate of chemical stability, do not contain tender and musical parts in the entire device.Thereby the mechanical stability and the chemical stability of optical diode have been improved.Durable, easy care.
Because the design and the manufacture method of the optical diode of this novel proposition.Make optical diode further microminiaturized.Outside dimension of the present utility model is φ 28 * L28 millimeter.Volume than United States Patent (USP) device is little 2-4 times.Be used in the loop laser resonance cavity of 8 fonts, help further compressing the folding angle of resonant cavity.Reduce astigmatism, reduce threshold value.Improve the laser output mode.
Scheme that the utility model provides and method have improved the rate of finished products that optical diode is produced greatly, have reduced cost.Small lot is made, and cost is no more than
