Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a laser, in particular to a semiconductor-pumped full-cavity microchip laser with stable output wavelength. Background technique [0002] All-cavity diode-pumped microchip lasers have the advantages of high pumping efficiency and less residual heat, so they are widely used in interferometry. For example, semiconductor pumps are used in the feedback interferometer of quasi-common path microchip lasers A Nd:YAG microchip laser was used as the light source. The principle of interferometry ultimately traces the measured value to the light wavelength of the light source, which means that the basis for the interferometry system to achieve accurate measurement depends on the accuracy and stability of the output wavelength of the light source. A large part of the heat of the semiconductor end-pumped Nd:YAG microchip laser is generated by the power emitted by the LD to the microchip. Because it is end-pumped, this laser has its own un...
