Embodiment 1

[0019] refer to figure 1 , the 1.9 μm laser pump source 1 of this embodiment adopts a fiber laser doped with thulium ions, the maximum output power is 50 W, the numerical aperture of the fiber is 0.22, and the core diameter is 200 μm. The spot diameter is 360 μm, and the beam waist is located in the middle of the laser crystal. The holmium ion-doped laser crystal 3 is a Ho:YAG laser crystal with a holmium ion doping concentration of 0.7%, with a size of 3mm×3mm×50mm and a size of 3mm×3mm. The two end faces are optically polished and coated with 1.9-2.1μm anti-reflection film. The four sides are roughened and then wrapped with indium foil and fixed with a heat sink to take away the heat generated in the crystal by conduction cooling. Q switch 4 adopts Gucci's acousto-optic Q switch, the size of the sound hole is 6mm, the center frequency is 41MHz, the RF power is 50W, and the diffraction efficiency is >85% (for 2.1μm).

Abstract

The invention discloses a narrow-linewidth 2-micron laser device. The narrow-linewidth 2-micron laser device includes a 1.9-micron laser pumping source, an optical coupling system, a holmium ion doped laser crystal, a Q switch, a first cavity mirror, a second cavity mirror, a third cavity mirror and a feedback mirror; 1.9-micron-wavelength laser outputted by the 1.9-micron laser pumping source is shaped through the optical coupling system and then is used for the holmium ion doped laser crystal; and the holmium ion doped laser crystal, the first cavity mirror, the second cavity mirror, the third cavity mirror and the feedback mirror jointly form an active laser resonant cavity. With the narrow-linewidth 2-micron laser device adopted, a special etalon or grating is not needed to be used for narrowing linewidth, and therefore, intracavity loss of the laser can be reduced, and the stability of the laser can be improved. The narrow-linewidth 2-micron laser device of the invention can realize high-power, high-beam quality and narrow-linewidth 2-micron laser output, and has the advantages of simple and compact structure and high stability, and has a bright application prospect in the fields of military, spectroscopy, remote sensing etc..

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of all solid-state lasers, in particular to an efficient and compact laser device with a narrow line width of 2 μm. Background technique [0002] Mid-infrared lasers in the 3-5 μm band of the atmospheric window have important applications in military, spectroscopy, remote sensing and other fields, among which 2 μm lasers are one of the main ways to obtain mid-infrared lasers through nonlinear optical frequency conversion. However, in this kind of nonlinear optical frequency conversion, there are strict requirements on the line width of 2 μm laser, and only a sufficiently narrow line width can achieve high conversion efficiency. [0003] At present, the two main methods for narrowing the laser linewidth in 2μm lasers are inserting etalons in the cavity and using Bragg gratings as cavity mirrors, but the former has the disadvantage of large insertion loss, while the latter is severely affected by vibration and expensive...
