Problems solved by technology

However, due to the inherent relaxation oscillation characteristics of the solid-state laser gain medium, the output long-pulse laser has an irreversible relaxation peak, which is easy to damage the optical components in the application, or saturate the high-speed photodetector and affect the measurement
At the same time, the existence of relaxation oscillation peaks makes it more difficult to control the longitudinal mode, which is prone to mode hopping, and it is difficult to obtain a stable single-frequency narrow-linewidth laser output.
In addition, since the emission bandwidth of solid gain media around 1 μm is usually only tens of GHz, it is difficult for resonant cavity technology to obtain a wide tuning range

The high-energy long pulse laser obtaining device sequentially comprises a continuous laser source, an isolator, an electro-optic modulator, a polarizing plate and a laser amplifier in a laser transmission direction.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of all-solid-state lasers, in particular to a high-energy long-pulse laser acquisition device, method and application. Background technique [0002] In systems such as laser sodium guide stars, gravitational wave detection, and lidar, tunable 1064nm lasers with long pulses of 100 microseconds are required, and the laser linewidth and longitudinal mode are controlled. At the same time, in order to facilitate the application, the laser pulse waveform should be as smooth as possible, and the spectral lines should be as stable as possible. [0003] The existing high-energy 100-microsecond all-solid-state long-pulse laser is mainly obtained by pumping the resonant cavity of the solid gain medium with a quasi-continuous diode laser, that is, the pulsed laser is directly obtained from the oscillator cavity, and then the energy of the pulsed laser is expanded. However, due to the inherent relaxation oscillation characteristi...
