Abstract

The invention provides a solid quality improving method based on in-cavity phase conjugate, and aims at solving problems that light beams of a solid state laser are severe in heat distortion and present active optical means are complex and expensive. The solid state laser with an optical phase conjugate cavity is provided, and solid laser of high light beam quality can be obtained. An output coupling mirror 1, a pumping source 2, a solid gain medium 3, a Brillouin medium 4 and a back cavity mirror 5 are included; and a linewidth narrowing device can be included. The back cavity mirror and the output coupling mirror form a homocentric or confocal cavity, so that the waist part of a basic-mode light beam is just positioned in the Brillouin scattering medium; and the solid gain media is located near to the output coupling mirror as possible. When work is started, the back cavity mirror starts oscillation; and after that the power density reaches a stimulated Brillouin scattering threshold, the Brillouin medium and the output coupling mirror form the cavity; and high-quality light beams are output.

Description

technical field [0001] A method for improving the quality of solid-state lasers based on intracavity phase conjugation. Compared with traditional solid-state laser devices, it uses optical phase conjugation based on backward stimulated Brillouin scattering, and through the design of the resonant cavity, the beam quality is improved and the light extraction efficiency is maintained at a high level. Background technique [0002] A solid-state laser refers to a laser whose laser gain medium is a solid rather than a liquid or gas. Since the appearance of lasers, solid-state lasers have been widely used in production and life due to their compact structure and no need for complex fluid machinery. The mainstream high peak power MOPA systems at home and abroad also use solid-state laser media. In the development of solid-state lasers, various thermal effects such as thermal distortion are one of the biggest factors affecting beam quality. Since the solid-state laser gain medium ...
