Abstract

To provide an device for producing a laser beam harmonic wave with high efficiency and high stability. a round-trip optical path is formed in a periodically polarized non-linear photonic crystal, in which the non-linear photonic crystal is a PPLT (periodically polarized lithium tantalite), PPSLT (stoichiometric PPLT), PPLN (periodically polarized lithium niobate), or PPSLN (stoichiometric PPLN) etc. , into which MgO or ZnO was doped. A laser beam emitted from a optical fiber laser device is input to one end face of the crystal and a harmonic wave after performing wavelength-transformation is output form the same end face. The generated heat is uniformized due to passing the round-trip optical path to uniformize the distribution of temperature in the non-linear photonic crystal, and hence the integral condition of wavelength-transformation is kept by the same condition in the direction of length. Therefore, the harmonic wave can be produced with high efficiency and high stability.

Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention provides a high-efficiency 'high-stability harmonic generation device and conversion device that enables a laser beam output from a laser resonator or its amplifier' The periodic polarization structure of the nonlinear crystal for wavelength conversion having a stoichiometric composition forming a periodic polarization structure is incident in a periodic direction, and laser light having a wavelength different from the fundamental wave is generated in the propagation direction. [Prior Art] In the electronics industry, as the miniaturization process of DRAM, SRAM, etc. continues to develop every year, the integration of internal circuits is expected. In addition, it is expected to have a high-density record in the field of information recording. In order to achieve high integration, high density, and miniaturization, it is desirable to be able to perform continuous output and short wavelength of laser beams in laser applications such as laser processing and surface inspection. Maintain stability. The M2 parameter indicating the condensing quality of the beam is also required to approach 1 (which is the 横 of a single transverse mode). In addition, it is reported that there is a harmonic generating device which is based on the oscillation of a short-wavelength laser, uses non-linear optical crystallization, and provides a nonlinear single crystal on the laser beam to obtain harmonic components, and is forced by nonlinear optical crystallization. The electric field is applied to set the polarization of the periodic structure of the space, and the periodically polarized non-linear crystal is formed, and the waveguide of the light is formed in the periodic direction of the periodic structure, and the laser beam is externally guided into the waveguide. The laser beam propagates through the waveguide to convert the incident beam into a harmonic. The wavelength conversion efficiency of these devices is prone to non-linear phenomena in pulsed lasers due to their high peak power of 200917600, which enables high conversion efficiency. However, the wavelength conversion efficiency from the continuous oscillation output is still low. Therefore, 'in the second harmonic generating device or the optical parametric oscillator proposed in the past, a resonator is formed on the continuous laser output optical path, and the piezoelectric wave is resonated with the incident light beam of the fundamental wave.

Miniaturized effect. [Embodiment] The younger brother 10 does not show an embodiment of the present invention. It is advisable to use a laser source 1 to continuously oscillate a laser. Laser light having a fundamental wavelength converted to harmonics is output from the laser light source 1. In the case where the laser light source 1 is continuously oscillated, the configuration as shown in Fig. 2 can be used. In Fig. 2a, the oscillating output from the distribution reductive (DFB) laser 30 controlling the oscillation wavelength is incident on the amplifying fiber 32. The excitation power from the excitation laser diode 31 is coupled to the amplification fiber 32. The amplified output power 33 of the amplifying fiber is thus used as a basic wave laser source that accepts wavelength conversion. In order to polarize the output of the continuously oscillating fiber laser in a clear direction, the optical fiber itself that emits the laser output has the functions of polarized output and polarization preservation, and the second b b can be used in the construction of the member. The structure shown in the figure. A Bragg grating serving as a wavelength selective reflection element is formed at least one position near the both ends 35, 36 of the amplifying fiber 38, and the excitation power from the excitation laser diode 37 is coupled to Amplify the fiber 3 8 . The output power 39 is continuously oscillated by the oscillation wavelength determined by the Bragg grating. Amplifying fiber (not shown) can also be used as needed to enlarge the power. These amplifying fibers 32 and 38 prefer to use Yb-added fibers. The wavelength can be selected from the range of up to 1 1 0 0 n m. The generation of the fundamental wave beam can use a laser light source and a discharge device using a titanium-doped sapphire crystal having a wavelength-variable characteristic as a gain medium. In order to achieve high-efficiency wavelength conversion by non-linear optical crystallization by -11-200917600, it is known that the highest beam quality is preferable. In the case of having a single-frequency spectrum, the maximum conversion efficiency can be obtained. The oscillation wavelength can vary from 700 nm to 10 nm. Of course, in the case where the light sources are operated in the pulse mode, the nonlinear crystallization can be reversed by periodic polarization to obtain high wavelength conversion efficiency. The output beam 9 from the laser source 1 is incident on the optical isolator 2. Although the optical isolator 2 may not be provided, in order to prevent the oscillating light beam from being reflected by the optical system disposed behind and returning to the laser light source 1 to interfere with the oscillating light beam, or to provide an optical isolator 2 is preferred. The oscillating beam 10 passing through the optical isolator 2 is controlled by the one-half of the wavelength plate 3 to control the linearly polarized direction of the oscillating beam 1 而 to become the beam Π. One-half of the long-wavelength plate 3 is provided in order to align the round-trip optical path formed on the periodically-polarized nonlinear optical crystal 6 disposed in the predetermined polarization direction. In the case where the nonlinear optical crystal 6 which is periodically polarized is formed with a polarization direction in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the paper, in order to generate a nonlinear optical effect with maximum efficiency, a polarization direction such as a double circle is required. The regulation is that the direction perpendicular to the paper surface, that is, the polarization direction and the polarization direction are defined to be parallel. This relationship is shown in Figure 3. The traveling direction 5 1 ' of the light beam of the nonlinear optical crystal 6 is parallel to the periodic direction 5 2 of the polarization. The polarizing direction 6 1 is parallel to the polarization direction 62. The fundamental wave beam is condensed by the condensing lens 5 through a beam splitter 4' which is inclined at 45 degrees with respect to the optical path and in order to form a fine condensed spot. When a waveguide is formed in the nonlinear optical crystal 6, the light-converging point is formed on the substantially first end face 6-1 of the nonlinear optical crystal 6, and the fundamental wave enclosed in the waveguide by -1 2 - 200917600 The beam 'transmits in the nonlinear optical crystal 6 while maintaining high intensity. While the fundamental wave propagates in the waveguide, one of the fundamental wave components is converted into the second harmonic, and faces the second end face 6-2 of the nonlinear optical crystal 6. The fundamental wave component and the second harmonic component which are the emitted light beams are emitted from the second end face 6-2 toward the space. The diffused light beam is reflected by the reflective optical system 8 such as a concave mirror to return to the second end face 6-2 of the nonlinear optical crystal 6. The reflection characteristic of the reflection optical system 8 is a high reflection characteristic with respect to two wavelengths of the fundamental wave and the second harmonic. In the case where a waveguide is formed, 'when a concave mirror is used as the reflection optical system 8', a radiation beam having a radius of curvature of the second end face 6-2 of the nonlinear optical crystal 6 is formed and the concave mirror is formed. The distance of the reflecting surface is selected so that the reflection of the waveguide in the nonlinear optical crystal 6 is efficiently returned. In the case of using a nonlinear optical crystal having no waveguide, the condensing lens 5 and the reflection optical system 8 are disposed in such a manner that the fundamental wave has a condensed spot near the center of the crystal. The non-linear optical crystal is PPLT (periodically poled LiTa03: periodically poled lithium niobate) doped with a periodic polarization structure, and PPSLT (periodic ally poled stoichiometric LiTa03: periodic pole Stoichiometric ratio lithium niobate), PPLN (peri 〇dica 11 y ρ ο 1 ed L i N b Ο 3 : periodically poled lithium niobate), or PPSLNiperiodically poled stoichiometric LiNb03 : periodically polarized The stoichiometric ratio of lithium niobate is preferred. In the case where the nonlinear optical crystal is MgO : PPSLT or MgO : PPSLN, most of the cases where the wavelength of the second harmonic is shorter than the wavelength of 5 3 2 nm (green light) and the like is shorter than 200917600 'displays the light as a medium. The effect of absorbing the power of the fundamental wave. Therefore, in the case where the optical arrangement is constituted by a single light path as in the prior art, the absorption power in the beam on the side of the incident end face of the non-linear crystal and the side of the exit end face is different, and a temperature distribution occurs in the direction of the optical axis of the crystal. This situation is excluded from the temperature phase integration conditions, resulting in a decrease in wavelength conversion efficiency. The temperature in the non-linear crystals is controlled by an electronic cooling (ETC) technique or a heater of the prior art, and the temperature range can be controlled to the extent of ±0.1. f The light beam 16 including the second harmonic component and the fundamental wave not subjected to wavelength conversion output from the first end face output end 6-1 via the round-trip optical path is again passed through the condensing mirror 5 to form the parallel beam 17 and is made high by The reflectance reflecting spectroscope 4 selectively separates and reflects at least the second harmonic component from the fundamental wave component, and extracts it to the outside as a harmonic beam 18. The beam is supplied for the purpose. The fundamental wave component passes through the spectroscope 4, and in the case where the optical isolator 2 is provided, the laser light source 1 does not return by the optical isolator 2, and the different components inside the polarization direction are excluded. ^ ' With the round-trip beam passing method improved here, the amount of heat generated by light absorption along each of the longitudinal directions of the nonlinear optical crystal 6 is averaged by the round-trip optical path, so that a uniform temperature is formed. distributed. That is, in the vicinity of the first end face 6-1, the fundamental wave beam incident is strong, and the converted beam is weak, fR. In the return beam, the fundamental wave beam is weak, and the converted beam becomes strong, on the other hand, the second The amount of heat generated in the vicinity of the end face 6-2 decreases in the incident direction with the increase of the second harmonic component, and is also the same in the returning light. The radiation caused by the absorption of each wavelength component depending on the location is uniform in the entire region of the waveguide. Thereby, the temperature distribution in the periodic nonlinear optical crystal is uniformized. Therefore, the integration condition can be maintained under the same conditions in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, the full length of the nonlinear optical crystal which is periodically polarized is highly efficiently exchanged. Compared with the conventional method of only one direction, the uniformity of the temperature distribution is extremely stable, and it is easy to realize, the efficiency is improved, the output is stabilized, and the economic effect obtained by the ease of the device configuration is Knowing the structure of a single light path shows great results. By setting the round-trip path to the coaxial position, the temperature distribution also becomes a circular distribution, and the effect is shown by the stability of the beam. Further, in the example of Fig. 1, the second end face 6-2 of the non-linear optical crystal 6 is returned by the concave mirror system 8, but instead of the convex lens or the flat. In this case, a convex lens in which the light beams are parallel is arranged such that the focus position thereof and the second end surface of the (guide path) are arranged, and a mirror in which the light beams are collimated in parallel by the convex lenses is disposed. In addition, source 1 is not a continuous oscillating laser, but a pulsed laser or a wave is applied, and a good effect can be obtained. [Examples] MgO: PPST.T was used as the nonlinear optical crystal, and the degree (the length between the first end face and the second end face) was 4 mm. Using the configuration of the second harmonic generating device, a single-frequency, single-mode 532 nm laser output of 3.7 W is obtained, wherein the table wave generates wavelength conversion of the mounted polarization, which can be clearly converted by the wavelength. The cost aspect is compared, and the aspect is also reflected by the reflection of the reflected mirror. 6-2 is used to reflect the laser light and the variable length is set to be long. The wavelength of the invention is set. 200917600 Laser light from a single-mode fiber laser and a single-frequency laser source with an output power of 9.4W and a fundamental wave wavelength of 1064 nm, is injected into the round-trip optical path. The conversion efficiency of the second harmonic is 39% in terms of optical power conversion efficiency. Therefore, a high defect can be obtained in the wavelength conversion efficiency of the continuous oscillation output. When the M2 measuring instrument is actually used and the beam quality of the second harmonic of the above configuration is measured by M2, the Μ2 = 1·12 in the X direction and M2 = 1.13 in the y direction can be obtained. In the case where the conversion power is low only in the case of a single optical path, it is 値 in the X direction of M2 = 1.23 and the y direction of M2 = 1.19. Therefore, in the present invention using the round-trip optical path, M2 in the x and y directions can obtain a high-quality second harmonic and can achieve high conversion efficiency. According to the present invention, there is provided a laser wavelength conversion device which emits a laser beam radiated from a fiber laser by periodically polarizing a PPLT, PPSLT, PPLN or PPSLN doped with MgO or ZnO. The non-linear optical crystal forms a round-trip optical path, and a basic wave laser beam is introduced from the incident end surface, and the wavelength-converted harmonics are configured to have the same end surface as an output end surface to optimize the conversion efficiency of the laser beam. The stability and the miniaturization of the device enable a continuous oscillating beam of practical harmonics. In the wavelength conversion device of the present invention, the round-trip optical path is formed in the waveguide of the nonlinear optical crystal which is periodically polarized, so that the continuously oscillating laser beam ′ can obtain the wavelength-converted continuous oscillation output with high efficiency. In order to obtain a short-wavelength continuous laser, it is necessary to use a large-power-driven short-wavelength laser oscillator using a krypton or argon ion gas laser to greatly improve the power efficiency, and the device can be miniaturized. It is used in laser applications such as laser micromachining, fine pattern exposure, high-precision micro-inspection, and high-density information recording using continuous oscillation output of short wavelength-16-200917600. Hereinabove, several embodiments of the present invention have been described. It is apparent that the present invention can be modified as long as it does not depart from the technical idea of the invention described in the scope of the patent application. (Industrial Applicability) As an application example of the present invention, since the short-wavelength of the second harmonic is used and high efficiency is obtained to obtain a fundamental wave output of continuous oscillation, it can be applied to a laser micro-machining device and a semiconductor chip. Cutting of electronic components of the conductive line of the wafer redundancy circuit, and removal of the inside of the layer of the other multilayer electronic component, correction of the liquid crystal display panel or the plasma display device, formation on the substrate Trimming of capacitors, resistors, inductors, etc. on the surface, functional trimming of circuit boards, laser precision machining of other semiconductor substrates, DVD mastering, wafer inspection, and cross-cut inspection of photolithography. It is possible to achieve high-efficiency wavelength conversion by continuous oscillation, and it is known that the action by the pulse output can be implemented by continuous output. Therefore, it is possible to effectively utilize the work efficiency improvement, and it is possible to easily perform a small defect inspection. The contribution that can be achieved by the need for improvement is enormous.
