Abstract

A high-power long-wave infrared 8 micron-12 micron laser device based on a polarization beam combination technology relates to the laser application technology field. A problem that output power of a 8 micron-12 micron laser acquired through an existing optical parametric oscillator (OPO) or optical parametric amplification (OPA) mode is limited by a crystal film damage threshold so that a single resonant cavity is difficult to acquire high output power is solved. Beam splitting is performed on a 2.1 micron pulse laser and then two ZnGeP2 optical parametric oscillators are pumped respectively so as to generate two beams of orthogonal polarization-state far-infrared lasers of 8 micron-12 micron so that pump light intensity borne by an upper end surface of a single ZnGeP2 crystal is greatly reduced. An optical parametric amplification technology is used to further amplify the 8 micron-12 micron laser and finally two beams of 8 micron-12 micron lasers which do not need polarization are combined into one beam of the 8 micron-12 micron laser with high power. The laser device of the invention is suitable for an occasion of laser acquisition.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of laser application. Background technique [0002] The long-wave infrared 8μm-12μm band laser is the wavelength response range of infrared focal plane detectors such as HgCdTe or GaAs / AlGaAs quantum wells. Most toxic hydrocarbon gases such as ethane, butane, dichlorobenzene, etc. Has a strong absorption line. Therefore, these characteristics make 8μm~12μm lasers play an important role in the fields of environmental detection, laser infrared directional jamming, differential absorption radar and so on. [0003] The most common and effective way to obtain 8 μm ~ 12 μm laser output is the method of optical parametric oscillation (OPO) or optical parametric amplification (OPA), but its output power is limited by the damage threshold of the crystal film layer, and a single resonator is very difficult. Difficult to obtain higher output power. Contents of the invention [0004] The present invention aims to s...
