Abstract

The invention discloses a Laguerre-Gaussian beam solid-state laser based on conical refraction annular light pumping, which comprises a pumping source, and is characterized in that a focusing lens, a biaxial crystal, a laser gain medium and a laser output mirror are successively arranged along the light output direction of the pumping source in a manner of sharing the same optical axis; and the biaxial crystal is located within twice focal length of the focusing lens. According to the invention, pumping light is converted into annular pumping light, and the conversion efficiency is close to 100%, so that the light-light efficiency of the pumping light to Laguerre-Gaussian laser light is enabled to be high. In addition, the conversion device has no special requirements for the temperature environment, and arrangement of a cooling device is not required. The Laguerre-Gaussian beam solid-state laser is high in adaptability, and has the characteristics of simple structure and easy implementation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technology of solid-state lasers, in particular to a high-efficiency first-order or higher-order Laguerre-Gaussian beam solid-state laser pumped based on biaxial crystal conical refraction ring light. Background technique [0002] In recent years, cylindrical vector beams and vortex beams have attracted more and more attention. Their common feature is that the central intensity of the spot is zero and its amplitude can be characterized by a first-order or higher-order Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) function. Typical representatives of cylindrical vector beams include radially polarized lasers and angularly polarized lasers. The electric field vector points to the radius or tangential direction of the cross-section of the spot, and there is a polarization singularity in the center of the spot so that the central amplitude is zero. A vortex beam refers to a beam with a spiral wavefront phase along the direction of light propagation,...
