Problems solved by technology

However, the luminescent center particles in the solid laser medium have rich energy levels and complex structures; after being excited by the pumping source, in addition to the excitation of the lower energy level particles and the radiative transition of the upper energy level particles, there are other transition processes, which occur as usual Nonradiative relaxation and upconversion luminescence in rare earth ion-doped laser media
Under the pumping conditions of LD high pumping power density, these transition processes bring additional loss, which significantly affects the operation of the laser and the laser output
Considering only the laser generation process of solid-state lasers and including the influence of other transition processes into the cavity loss, the reliability of the measurement and calculation results will be difficult to guarantee

Abstract

Method for measuring the come-and-go loss in the cavity of LD pumping solid laser. The procedures are: first determining the relationship between the laser power and the pumping power measured from the experiment; which experiment result is then substituted in the rate equation to proceed numerical equating to determine the loss in the cavity; in the rate equation, considered are the laser oscillation and other transition steps which affecting the running of a laser, and considering the pumping light and laser being all Gaussian distribution. This invention method is particularly suitable for measuring the come-and-go loss in low gain microchip solid laser cavity.

Description

【Technical field】: [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of lasers; in particular, it relates to measuring the intracavity loss of an LD-pumped solid-state laser; especially measuring the intra-cavity loss of an LD-pumped solid-state laser under the condition that the laser cavity length is short and the gain is low. 【Background technique】: [0002] LD pumped solid-state lasers are small in size and low in cost, and can be widely used in many fields such as laser ranging and optical communication. In the production, development and maintenance of this laser, the round-trip loss in the cavity is an important indicator. Its relationship with the net gain of the laser is the main factor that determines the operation of the laser. In addition, accurately determining the intracavity round-trip loss is also a necessary condition for applying various laser technologies such as Q-switching, frequency stabilization, and mode selection to LD pumped solid-state lasers. ...
