Abstract

The invention discloses a laser resonant cavity with an annular and a concave output mirror, which comprises a reflecting mirror, a laser medium and an output mirror; the output mirror is an annular concave mirror of which the working surface comprises one or a plurality of homocentric, annular and circular arc shaped concave cambers; the central part of the working surface of the output mirror can also be a circular working surface or the central part of the out mirror can be non-working surface or hollowness; an annular and concave reflecting mirror can also be adopted by the laser resonant cavity of the invention. The laser resonant cavity provided by the invention has the advantages of simple processing, convenient adjustment, steady operation, large available mode volume, very small divergence angle and good beam quality, thus being able to be applicable to gas lasesr or solid lasers with medium and high power, in particular to large volume gain medium and cylindrical and toroidal gain medium.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a laser resonant cavity, in particular to a laser resonant cavity with an annular concave output mirror. Background technique [0002] In many occasions of laser application, such as laser drilling, welding, cutting and laser medical treatment, etc., it is hoped that the laser can work in the fundamental mode state with the smallest divergence angle and the best beam quality. Traditional mode selection techniques (such as using an aperture stop) can improve the quality of the laser output beam, but the use of an aperture stop limits the mode volume to a large extent and increases the mode loss. [0003] The key to the design of high-power laser devices is how to achieve high-power single-mode operation while obtaining the largest possible mode volume and good transverse mode discrimination ability, so as to extract energy efficiently from the active material while maintaining high beam quality. [0004] There are three types ...
