Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage of this method is that many optical devices are used, and the system has strict requirements on the relative position between the wave plate and the optical axis of the birefringent element, and these devices are not suitable for high power
However, due to the insertion of the Brewster axicon mirror into the cavity, the loss of the resonator is increased
Moreover, the manufacturi

example 1

[0044] Such as Figure 16 In the specific structure of the dielectric grating mirror shown, gallium arsenide is used in both the substrate and the grating region. φ 1 27.94 mm, φ 2 22.00 mm, φ 3 is 0.20 mm. The high refractive index material of the multilayer dielectric film is zinc selenide, the low refractive index material is thorium tetrafluoride, and the number of layers of the multilayer dielectric film is 5 layers. The period Λ of the grating is 6 microns, the ridge width b of the grating is 3 microns, and the reflectance curves of two kinds of polarized light are calculated by changing the depth h of the grating, such as Figure 17 shown. When the grating depth h is in the interval A near 1.50 microns (h is greater than 1.40 microns and less than 1.75 microns), the reflectivity of the normal incident P polarization component exceeds 99.0%, while the normal incident S polarization component reflectance is less than 53.54 %. Similarly, when the grating depth h is ...

[0046] Such as Figure 13 In the inner axicon metal grating mirror structure shown, both the base and the grating area are made of red copper. φ a 24.0 mm, φ b is 2.0 mm and b is 11.0 mm. The period Λ of the grating is 10 microns, the ridge width b of the grating is 5 microns, and the reflectance curves of two kinds of polarized light are calculated by changing the depth h of the grating, such as Figure 18 shown. When the grating depth h is in the interval C near 5.20 microns (h is greater than 5.1 microns and less than 5.3 microns), the reflectivity of the metal grating to the P polarization component incident at 45° exceeds 97.4%, so the inner axicon metal grating mirror is The reflectivity of the normal incident P polarization component exceeds 94.9%, while the reflectivity of the metal grating to the incident S polarization component at 45° is less than 65.0%, so the reflectivity of the inner axicon metal grating mirror to the normal incident S polarization component ...
