Definitions

  • the invention relates to a solid-state laser system and a method for operating the solid state lasersy stems.
  • Solid state laser systems can be divided into systems having a transverse or a longitudinal pumping configuration.
  • energy in the form of light is coupled into the laser-active material. This is usually done by means of continuous discharge lamps and flashlamps or by means of continuous (cw) laser diodes.
  • Commercially available lamp-pumped laser systems deliver average output powers up to the kW range and pulse energies of over 100 mJ with total efficiencies of 2 to 5%.
  • the power or energy of the pump / excitation laser radiation is converted to more than 30% in solid state laser radiation.
  • the achievable pulse energies are usually only in the range of .mu.J to a few mJ, since the pump sources in the range of the life of the upper laser level of the laser-active material can provide little pumping energy.
  • Transversely pumped bar lasers are known. This concept was adopted by older lamp-pumped laser systems. In the transverse construction, the pump energy is coupled from the side into a rod made of the laser-active material. This allows the coupling of high average power, but leads to relatively low efficiencies. The diode pump light is converted to about 20% in laser radiation. The efficiency is even lower in the known bar lasers, if by means of mode apertures a good beam quality is enforced. Compared to the lamp-pumped systems, there is the advantage that the tuning between the wavelength of the pump source and the absorption of the laser-active material can be improved with the laser diode as the pump source. It must therefore be dissipated less heat, whereby thermal problems are reduced. In addition, a significantly better beam quality is achieved.
  • Solid state laser systems are also known in which a longitudinal pump configuration is formed so that the excitation beams are coupled along the optical axis of the laser beams.
  • the pump excitation beam volume can be adapted to the mode volume of the laser beam, whereby, for example, in a Nd: YAG laser system, a high efficiency of up to about 50% with good beam quality can be achieved.
  • a continuous excitation radiation (cw radiation) of the laser diodes is used.
  • a pulse operation is achieved by means of additional Q-switching.
  • the pulse output energies thus achieved are at most about 1 mJ.
  • a pulsed Nd: YAG solid-state laser system can achieve a maximum output energy of approximately 10 mJ and pulse durations of less than 200 ⁇ s.
  • the so-called slab laser is still known.
  • the laser-active material is provided in the form of a slab, for example, having the dimensions 16 mm ⁇ 8 mm ⁇ 3 mm
  • a particular advantage of the slab laser is that good power scalability is maintained at a high level
  • heat can be dissipated well and the adaptability to pump sources is advantageous, for example to a laser diode array
  • a continuously diode-pumped slab laser system with Q-switching a maximum output energy of 1.8 mJ was achieved (cf.
  • KJ Snell et al Highly Efficient, Transversely-Pumped, 25W, TEM00 Nd: YLF Slab Laser, in: Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics, OSA Technical Digest (Optical Society of America, Washington, DC, 2000), pp. 200-201).
  • disk lasers are furthermore known.
  • a thin disc for example, having a diameter of 10 mm and a thickness of 0.1 mm, applied directly to a heat sink.
  • heat can be removed very quickly, and thermal lens effects that cause deterioration of the beam quality of the generated laser radiation can be almost avoided.
  • the pumping light can pass through the crystal several times.
  • a high efficiency is achieved.
  • Disk lasers with a power output of 4 kW in a multimode beam are commercially available. In mode-locked laser systems, an average output power of 80 W was achieved (see Brunner et al., Opt. Lett., 29 (16), 1921 (2004)).
  • Fiber-lasers are furthermore known as diode-pumped solid-state laser systems.
  • Laser glasses can be pulled out to thin glass fibers.
  • the end faces of the glass fiber are mirrored on one side highly reflective for light of the emission wavelength of the laser active material and highly transmissive for light of the wavelength of the excitation beams.
  • On the other side of the glass fiber a multilayer system with the desired degree of decoupling is applied. Due to their large length, for example 10 m, the glass fibers have a large surface area, which allows very good heat dissipation.
  • single-mode fibers diffraction-limited fundamental mode radiation can be achieved. In continuous operation, output powers in the kilowatt range are achieved with high beam quality.
  • the diameter and thus the surface of the fiber core is limited to about 50 microns. Compared to bar fibers, the surface is therefore smaller by two to three orders of magnitude.
  • the energy density is therefore already at an impulse energy of 1 mJ at 80 J / cm 2 , which already reaches the range of the destruction threshold of the active laser material. Even with fiber end caps, only pulse energies of a few mJ can be achieved.
  • the document DE 102 35 713 A1 discloses a device for pump excitation of a laser medium via laser diode stacks.
  • a plurality of laser diode stacks which individually comprise a plurality of laser diode bars, are arranged around the optical axis at a distance from the optical axis of a resonator with the laser medium to be pumped.
  • the pump light emitted by the laser diode stacks is coupled into the laser medium via mirror arrangements at a small angle to the optical axis.
  • Document US 2003/0138005 A1 describes a solid-state laser system which is excited on an ion-longitudinal basis by means of a pulsed laser diode source.
  • a longitudinal pump excitation by means of laser diode arrangements is also known from document US 2004/0052284 A1.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a solid-state laser system and a method for operating the solid-state laser system, with which high pulse energies can be generated and at the same time a high efficiency and good beam quality of the laser radiation generated can be achieved.

  • a method of operating a solid state laser system having a longitudinal excitation configuration comprising a lasing medium disposed in a laser resonator and formed of a solid state laser active material, the method comprising:
  • pulsed excitation beams are generated by an excitation source with a laser diode array, and the pulsed excitation beams from the excitation source are coupled into the laser medium along the optical axis of the laser cavity by means of fiber launching means emitting the pulsed excitation beams from the laser diode array with a peak pulse power of at least 400W become
  • the invention has the particular advantage over the prior art that a solid-state laser system is provided which can be produced by means of conventional, commercially available components. It has surprisingly been found that, in spite of the simple construction, very high pulse energies can be achieved.
  • the laser diode array By using the laser diode array, good match of the wavelength of the excitation beams with the absorption of the laser active material can be achieved.
  • the longitudinal pump configuration ensures good superposition of the excitation beams and the generated laser radiation, resulting in good beam profile and high efficiency. Due to the pulsed excitation, the one or more diodes (s) of the laser diode array can be operated with higher currents and higher output powers since the average thermal stress is greatly reduced.
  • the proposed solid-state laser system similarly high output energies are achieved in this way as with lamp-pumped laser systems, but with a much smaller energy requirement and with less effort for the cooling.
  • the generated laser radiation has a beam quality as can not be achieved with lamp-pumped laser systems of the same output energy.
  • the proposed pulsed longitudinal excitation also allows, especially in a rod-shaped design of the laser medium, that due to a completely coolable outer sheath of the rod-shaped laser medium, a uniform temperature distribution can be generated in the laser medium.

  • the cross-sectional area of the laser medium used can be varied in relation to the pumped surface in order to vary and adjust thermal lens effects and depolarization.

  • the solid-state laser is mechanically decoupled from the excitation source and can be easily moved as a compact unit.
  • the laser diode arrangement comprises one or more broad area multimode laser diode chips, which has the advantage of a high emitted power with a relatively low cost and a high lifetime of about 100,000 This results in a solid-state laser system with a relatively low cost and a long service life, which is a great advantage in the area of material processing where the processing systems are often used 24 hours a day known lamp-pumped laser systems must be replaced after a few hundred hours and lead to expensive interruptions in production.
  • the laser diode arrangement comprises a laser diode array with a plurality of wide-band laser diodes, whereby a high power can be achieved, which can be further increased by means of parallel connection of several broad-band emitters.
  • the beam quality is higher than that of the wide-range multimode laser diode chips. As a result, even higher efficiencies can be achieved than with the wide-range multimode laser diode chips.

  • an advantageous development of the invention provides that pulsed excitation beams having a pulse peak power of at least 1 kW, preferably of at least 2 kW, can be generated with the laser diode arrangement. This serves to achieve even higher output energies and powers.
