Abstract

The invention discloses an excimer broadband pumping alkali metal laser by adopting a negative-branch confocal unstable-cavity structure. The excimer broadband pumping alkali metal laser comprises a pumping source, a concave reflector a, a concave reflector b, an alkali metal steam pool, a heating furnace and a planar high-reflectivity mirror. The alkali metal laser is suitable for taking alkali metals such as sodium, potassium, rubidium and cesium as gain media; a negative-branch biconcave confocal unstable cavity formed by the concave reflector a and the concave reflector b is adopted, so that the pump light of an annular light spot is subjected to multiple times of beam shrinkage and reflection in the unstable cavity according to the amplification factor of the unstable cavity, the pumplight is uniformly distributed in the alkali metal steam pool, repeated pumping is realized, the interaction length between excimers and the pump light is increased, the absorption and utilization ofthe excimers on the pump light can be greatly increased, and the conversion efficiency is improved. According to the invention, the pump light can be fully utilized under the condition that the cavity length of the laser is fixed, and implementation is easy; and through adoption of the method, the excimer broadband pumping alkali metal laser can be applied to the field of a high-energy laser.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of alkali metal lasers, in particular to a new method for designing a negative branch confocal unstable cavity structure to improve the conversion efficiency of alkali metal lasers. Background technique [0002] Excimer pumped alkali laser (Excimer pumped alkali laser, XPAL) uses the excimer formed by alkali metal and inert gas (or alkane gas) to achieve broadband absorption of pump light, which solves the problem of semiconductor pumping alkali There is a serious mismatch between the absorption linewidth of the metal laser (Diode pumped alkali laser, DPAL) and the emission linewidth of the pump light. In addition, XPAL adopts 2 P 3 / 2 With n 2 P 1 / 2 Relaxation control of energy level can realize alkali metal D 1 Line laser output, or realize alkali metal D 2 Line laser output, therefore, has received extensive attention in the field of high-energy lasers. [0003] Because the van der Waals clusters formed by alkal...
