Problems solved by technology

The main disadvantages of the parallel plane cavity are: the adjustment accuracy is extremely high and it is easy to misalign. Compared with the stable cavity, the loss is also large, and it is not suitable for small gain devices.

Abstract

The invention discloses a toroidal concave reflector laser cavity resonator which comprises a reflector, a laser medium and an output mirror and the toroidal concave reflector laser cavity resonator is characterized in that: the reflector is toroidal and concave and comprises one or more homocentric and toroidal arc concave faces. The invention can make the center of the reflecting surface into around surface or the center of the reflector surface into a non reflecting surface or an air core. The invention can also adopt a toroidal concave output mirror. The laser cavity resonator of the invention has simple processing, convenient adjustment, stable working, large available mode volume, very small divergence angle and good beam quality, thus being applicable to middle, high power gas lasers or solid lasers and especially being applicable to gain medium of large volume and toroidal and columnar gain medium.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to laser resonant cavity technology, in particular to a laser resonant cavity with an annular concave reflector. 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 t...
