Problems solved by technology

Although this method does not need to replace output coupling mirrors with different transmittances, it is also suitable for measuring the linear loss in the laser cavity after debugging and packaging. However, for high-gain single-frequency lasers, the serious thermal effect in the cavity will change the relaxation oscillation frequency, which limits the application of this method in the measurement of intracavity linear loss of all-solid-state high-gain single-frequency lasers

Abstract

The invention relates to a measuring method for linear losses inside a cavity of an all-solid-state laser. A pumping source (1), a gain crystal (2), ring resonant cavity, an isolator, a beam splitter (6), a first power meter (7),and a second power meter (8) are arranged, wherein the isolator is formed by a magneto-optical media (3) and a half-wave plate (4) that are arranged in a permanent magnet. The measuring method is characterized in that a frequency multiplication crystal (5) having a non-linear effect is introduced into the resonant cavity, wherein a phase matching way of the frequency multiplication crystal (5) is an I type or II type non-critical phase matching way; output values of corresponding fundamental waves and second harmonics of any two working temperature points of the frequency multiplication crystal (5) are measured in a single frequency area; and then the two groups of numerical values are substituted into a linear loss expression inside a cavity to carry out calculation, so that a linear loss value inside the cavity of the laser as well as a numerical value of a pumping factor is obtained. The linear loss expression includes a non-linear transformation factor of the frequency multiplication crystal (5), a fundamental wave output power, a second harmonic output power, and a pumping factor.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of laser technology, in particular to a method for measuring the linear loss in the cavity of an all-solid-state laser, and is especially suitable for measuring the linear loss in the cavity of a stable-running all-solid-state single-frequency laser. Background technique [0002] All-solid-state single-frequency lasers are widely used in quantum information, quantum communication, gravitational wave detection and other fields due to their compact structure, small size, good beam quality, high long-term power stability, and low noise. In the production, development and maintenance of all-solid-state lasers, intracavity linear loss is also an important indicator. In order to obtain an efficient and stable all-solid-state laser, the intracavity linear loss of the laser must be known, because the intracavity linear loss and net gain of the laser The relationship between is an important factor in determining the operating ...
