Abstract

The present invention relates to a self frequency conversion solid state laser based on neodymium doped gadolinium calcium oxborate crystal, compromising a self frequency conversion crystal composed of NdxGd1-xCa4O(BO3)3 wherein x is from 0.001 to 0.2, a pumping source, and a laser resonator. The self frequency conversion crystal is cut along a direction perpendicular to the frequency conversion phase match direction of the crystal, and two light-through end surfaces of the self frequency conversion crystal are polished; the pumping source is a laser with wave length from 802 to 815 nm, 830nm, or from 868 to 887 nm, and the laser resonator realizes a unity feedback of the fundamental frequency light and a unity output of the frequency conversion light; wherein the laser resonator is set in front of a pumping source output optical path, the self frequency conversion crystal is arranged in the laser resonator, and the pumping mode is an end surface pumping mode or a side surface pumping mode. The self multiplication frequency, self sum frequency, self slip frequency or self parameter oscillation laser output of different fundamental frequency light can be obtained through determining the optimal frequency conversion phase match direction of the crystal in different fundamental frequency wave lengths and designing the corresponding laser cavity mirror membrane transmittance. The solid state laser is small in size, compact in structure, and stable in performance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a self-variable frequency solid laser, in particular to a self-variable frequency solid laser based on neodymium-doped calcium gadolinium borate (Nd:GdCOB) crystal. Background technique [0002] With the development of laser technology and its wide application in information storage, biomedicine, laser display, optical research and other fields, the demand for solid-state lasers with different output wavelengths is becoming more and more urgent. Visible wavelength lasers are widely used in full-color display, medical treatment, printing, entertainment and scientific research. At present, the main way to obtain green light output is to use frequency doubling crystals KTP, PPLN or LBO to treat Nd 3+ The 1.06μm laser generated by the ion is frequency-doubled to obtain a 0.53μm green light output. For low and medium power green light output, Nd:YVO is usually used 4 +KTP way to get. Nd:YVO 4 It is glued together with the KTP c...
