Embodiment 1

[0060] Please refer to Figure 4 , in this embodiment, both the first amplifying unit and the second amplifying unit are multi-pass amplifying units. Among them, the first amplification unit of the inner cavity adopts figure 2 As shown in the structure, the second amplification unit of the external cavity adopts figure 1 structure shown. The concave mirror E2 and the convex lens E3 form a collimating beam expansion unit, and the plane mirrors A1, A6 and A7 are auxiliary reflection units.

[0061] In this embodiment, the seed light is reflected by A1, enters the inner cavity and is transmitted to A2, then reflected to the disc crystal D, reflected to A3 through the disc crystal, then to the convex mirror E1, reflected to A4 and then to E1 , the seed light is transmitted to A5, then transmitted to the disc crystal again, reflected to A6 and then reflected by A6 into the collimator beam expander unit, then passed through the concave mirror E2 and convex lens E3 in turn to be ...

Embodiment 2

[0064] Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of a solid-state laser amplifier with a parabolic mirror-right-angle prism assembly inside and outside the cavity; the inner cavity and the outer cavity both use a parabolic mirror-right-angle prism combination, and both are multi-pass amplification units. Similarly, E2 and E3 form a collimating beam expansion unit, and A8, A9 and A10 are auxiliary reflection units.

[0065] The seed propagation path is similar to the path of the outer cavity in Example 1. The incident light is first reflected into the inner cavity through A8, transmitted to C3, then focused to D, reflected by D and transmitted to C4 in parallel (in the case of the disc crystal method line) out. Next, similar to the outer cavity of Example 1, the light is transmitted to C4 again through B4, and then focused to D, the light is reflected to C3, and then transmitted to C3 again through B3, and then focused to D, transmitted to C4 and transmitted by C4 Reflected out of ...

Embodiment 3

[0068] Image 6 It is a schematic diagram of a laser amplifier where the inner cavity is a regenerative amplification unit and the outer cavity is a parabolic mirror-right-angle prism assembly; in this embodiment, the inner cavity uses a regenerative amplification unit, and the outer cavity uses a parabolic mirror-right-angle prism assembly, which is actually multi-pass amplification and regenerative amplification The same combination of E2 and E3 constitutes a collimating beam expander unit, and A15 is an auxiliary reflection unit.

[0069] The polarization state of the incident light includes p light (arrow) and s light (center point). After passing through TFP1, only p light passes through. After passing through FR from right to left, the polarization state changes and becomes s light, and then passes through the half-wave plate. The s light turns into p light, and then passes through TFP2 again, and then passes through F2; F3 does not work at this time, the light passes th...

Abstract

The invention discloses a laser amplification method based on a disc crystal and a solid laser amplifier, which belong to the technical field of laser. The solid laser amplifier comprises optical components arranged in the optical path as follows: incidence, a plane mirror A2, a disc crystal D, a plane mirror A3,a spherical mirror E1,A4,a spherical mirror E1,a plane mirror A5,the disc crystal D and emergence. According to the method, two solid laser amplifiers share a disc crystal D; low-energy-grade seed light is amplified in one solid laser amplifier, is collimated and expanded, and then isfurther amplified in the other solid laser amplifier; on one hand, instruments and components are prevented from being damaged by high spike power caused by direct one-time amplification; on the otherhand, an output beam tends to be flat to achieve shaping; and light spots of different sizes are transmitted to the same disc crystal D to acquire gain, which greatly improves the utilization of theD-gain region of the disc crystal D.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention is a patent application CN201710396015.8 filed on May 31, 2017, a laser amplification method based on a disk crystal and a division of a solid-state laser amplifier, which belongs to the field of laser technology, and more specifically relates to a disk crystal-based laser amplifier. Laser amplification methods and solid-state laser amplifiers. Background technique [0002] Disc crystal solid-state laser amplifier is a new type of solid-state laser amplifier. This device can pass a beam of high-quality seed light through the disc crystal in the state of particle number inversion for many times, so that the output beam has both seed light and High quality, high power and energy can be obtained, every time the seed light passes through the disc crystal, it will be amplified twice. The essential difference between a disc crystal solid-state laser amplifier and other laser amplifiers is that its laser working material is a disc cryst...
