Abstract

The invention discloses a direct liquid-cooled laser gain device with high overlapping efficiency and a laser resonant cavity. The laser resonant cavity is added with a double pumping system on the basis of the laser gain device. The gain device includes a special-shaped light-transmitting window, a gain medium, and a laser cooling liquid. Aiming at the drawbacks of conventional array direct liquid-cooled lasers that adopt Brewster’s angle incidence to cause pupil shift and make the overlapping efficiency of laser and gain medium low, the invention innovatively proposes to realize laser gain in gain by designing crystal cutting angle and placement method. The pupil in the medium and the cooling liquid is self-compensated, and at the same time, a special-shaped light-passing window with a specific cutting angle is used to realize the laser vertical incidence gain device and meet the Brewster angle incidence of the gain medium. The laser gain device of the invention not only effectively improves the effective utilization rate of the gain medium, but also reduces the complexity of the laser system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of high-energy lasers, in particular to a high-overlapping-efficiency direct liquid-cooled laser gain device and a corresponding laser resonator that can realize polarized laser output. Background technique [0002] Thermal management is a key factor affecting laser power, efficiency, and volumetric weight. With the increase of laser output power, the requirements for thermal management are further improved. The conventional heat sink heat dissipation method of solid-state lasers has gradually failed to meet the requirements of efficient and rapid heat dissipation for high-power lasers. In order to meet the heat dissipation requirements, the volume and weight of the heat dissipation structure will inevitably be increased, and the complexity of the system will also be increased. Therefore, it is necessary to design a new heat dissipation method for solid-state lasers and develop new compact solid-state lase...
