Abstract

The invention relates to a method for increasing the signal to noise ratio of a femtosecond laser through an F-P (Fabry-Perol) etalon internally installed with an electro-optic crystal and a device thereof, which belong to the technical field of ultrashort pulses. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, stretching a femtosecond laser pulse to be increased in the signal to noise ratio, which is output from a femtosecond laser light source, into chirp signal light; enabling an instaneous spectral filtering function output by the F-P etalon to be consistent with the chirp size of the chirp signal light by modulating the voltages of both ends of the electro-optic crystal internally installed in the F-P etalon, and thereby, a chirp signal pulse efficiently pass, whereas noise is filtered off to achieve the goal of increasing the signal to noise ratio of the chirp pulse; finally, compressing the chirp signal light into the femtosecond laser with higher signal to noise ratio. The device for realizing the method comprises the femtosecond laser light source, a laser pulse stretcher, the F-P etalon, the electro-optic crystal, a high-voltage pulse power supply, a laser pulse compressor and the like. The signal to noise ratio of the femtosecond laser can be effectively increased by adopting the method and the device. Moreover, the device has simple structure and convenient adjustment.

The method for noise ratio and the device for realizing the method belong to the field of ultrashort pulse technology. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the emergence of chirped pulse amplification (CPA) technology, high-power ultrashort pulse laser systems have made great progress. Using a neodymium glass laser device of the kJ level, the peak power of the output laser pulse can reach the PW level, and the focused light intensity can reach 10 21～22 W / cm 2 order of magnitude. When the laser interacts with the solid target, when the laser intensity reaches 10 13 W / cm 2 When , plasma can be generated even if the laser intensity is less than 10 13 W...
