Problems solved by technology

However, for such crystals, the doped Cr 4+ The radius of the ion is larger than that of Al on the alternate tetrahedral site 3+ ion( and ) is large, resulting in Re, Cr 4+ : Cr in YAG crystal 4+ The segregation coefficient of ions is relatively small
Thus increasing the application length of the crystal and hindering the miniaturization of self-Q-switching devices
In addition Cr 4+ The small ground state absorption cross section and large excited state absorption cross section of ions in YAG increase the unsaturated absorption loss in the cavity and affect its saturable absorption modulation performance

Abstract

The invention relates to a self Q-adjusting garnet crystal, a self Q-adjusting device made of the self Q-adjusting garnet crystal and a self Q-adjusting pulsed laser made of the self Q-adjusting garnet crystal. The molecular general formula of the self Q-adjusting garnet crystal Re3+, Cr4+: A3(ScxGa1-x)2Ga3O12 is (ReyCazA1-y-z)3(ScxGa1-x)2(CrzGa1-z)3O12, wherein Re is equal to Nd or Yb, A is equal to Y, Gd or Lu,x is greater than or equal to 0 and smaller than or equal to 1,y is greater than or equal to 0 and smaller than or equal to 1, and z is greater than or equal to 0.00001 and smaller than or equal to 0.1; gain active ions (Nd3+ or Yb3+) and saturable absorbed ions Cr4+ are combined to realize the output of the self Q-adjusting pulsed laser with corresponding wave length. Co-doping Nd3+ and Cr4+ionic crystal Nd3+,Cr4+:A3(ScxGa1-x)2Ga3O12 can realize self Q-adjusting pulsed laser of which the output wavelength is 0.9 micron (4F3 / 2-4I9 / 2) and 1.06 microns (4F3 / 2-4I11 / 2); co-doping Yb3+ and Cr4+ionic crystal Yb3+,Cr4+:A3(ScxGa1-x)2Ga3O12 can realize self Q-adjusting pulsed laser of which the output wavelength is about 1 micron (2F5 / 2-2F7 / 2).

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a self-Q-adjusted garnet crystal and a growth method thereof, and a self-Q-adjusted device and a self-Q-adjusted pulse laser manufactured by using the crystal, belonging to the technical field of crystal growth and laser devices. Background technique [0002] Due to its advantages of high peak power, large pulse energy, and relatively short pulse time, Q-switched pulsed lasers have important potential applications in the fields of industrial processing, remote sensing measurement, and military countermeasures. Q-switched pulse lasers are divided into active Q-switched lasers and passively Q-switched lasers. Compared with active Q-switched lasers, passively Q-switched lasers have a simple, compact and low-cost configuration, which has attracted more research and attention. For passively Q-switched lasers, the saturable absorber is an important part of it. By using the saturable absorption characteristics of the saturable absorber i...
