Problems solved by technology

Due to the limitations of the crystal growth principle, crystal materials are easy to be made into rods with relatively small lateral dimensions. Laser ceramics are a development direction, but the performance of laser ceramics still needs to be improved.
[0009] In summary, the current high-power, high-energy thin-sheet lasers and laser amplifiers still cannot get around the limitations of thermal effects, lateral parasitic oscillations, and pump uniformity, and cannot obtain high-quality laser output.

Abstract

The invention provides a composite structure type laser amplifier. The composite structure type laser amplifier comprises a wedge-shaped laser slice coupler 3 and a wedge-shaped laser slice 1 used as a gain medium, wherein the wedge-shaped laser slice 1 and the wedge-shaped laser slice coupler 3 are both thin-long slices, and the longitudinal sections thereof are of isosceles trapezoid; the thick-end end planes of the wedge-shaped laser slice 1 and the wedge-shaped laser slice coupler 3 are coaxially spliced; and meanwhile, the thin-end end plane of the wedge-shaped laser slice coupler 3 receives an incident pumping laser beam, and the wedge-shaped laser slice coupler 3 couples the pumping laser beam to the wedge-shaped laser slice 1. According to the composite structure type laser amplifier, pumping light is incident from the thin-end end plane of the wedge-shaped laser slice coupler, so that pumping light absorption can be more uniform and coupling efficiency of the pumping light can be improved; the light is internally and totally reflected on boundary of the wedge-shaped laser slice, so that the absorption length of the absorbed light is prolonged and the wedge-shaped laser slice is uniformly pumped.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of laser amplifiers, in particular to a composite structure laser amplifier. Background technique [0002] At present, the thin-film laser amplifier mainly uses the fast heat dissipation of the thin-sheet and the large aperture, which can obtain stronger laser output by enlarging the aperture. However, the lateral gain length of a thin-sheet laser amplifier is always much larger than its thickness, and the lateral parasitic oscillation greatly limits the output power output. The method of increasing the output power by increasing the transverse cross-sectional area cannot be realized. The result is that the light emitting area is still very small, generally about 10 mm in diameter. [0003] Usually the diameter of the laser rod output single mode, only a few millimeters in diameter. With thin-film laser ceramics, it is hoped that the diameter of the thin film will be 10 to 20 cm. As a result, the lateral...
