Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, the commercialized femtosecond lasers are mainly mode-locked Ti:sapphire lasers, but because the absorption peak of Ti:sapphire crystals is in the visible band, it cannot be directly pumped by LD, and generally only argon ion lasers (wavelength 515nm) or Nd 3+ The green light (532nm) obtained by doping solid-state laser frequency doubling is used as the pump source, resulting in complex structure, bulky volume and high maintenance cost of the laser, which limits its development and application

Embodiment 1

[0038] A kind of laser output method that is used for Kerr mode-locking ytterbium-doped gadolinium lanthanum silicate crystal of this embodiment, such as Figure 1-2 shown, including the following steps:

[0039] Step 1. Pump 1 emits pump light source 11: pump 1 outputs pump light source 11 horizontally. According to Yb:GLSO crystal 5, it has strong absorption bands at 940nm and 970nm, so it is possible to use mature 940nm or 970nm semiconductors. The laser emits a pumping light source 11 as a pumping 1, and the Yb: GLSO crystal 5 effectively absorbs the energy of the pumping light source and transmits it to the focusing lens 3 through a fiber coupler 2;

[0040] Step 2. Focusing by focusing lens 3: focus the pumping light source 11 into a focused light source 31 through several groups of focusing lenses 3 arranged continuously, and focus on the end face 51 of the Yb:GLSO crystal 5, and the focused light source 31 starts from the Yb : The right end face of GLSO crystal 5 pene...

Abstract

The invention discloses a laser output method for a Kerr mode-locked ytterbium-doped lanthanum gadolinium silicate crystal, and belongs to the technical field of functional crystal material preparation. The laser output method for a Kerr mode-locked ytterbium-doped lanthanum gadolinium silicate crystal comprises the steps of taking the Yb: GLSO crystal as a femtosecond laser medium, adopting a pump to emit a pump light source with a central wavelength in a corresponding interval range, focusing the pump light source to the end surface of the Yb: GLSO crystal through an optical fiber coupler and a focusing lens, and then transmitting through the Yb: GLSO crystal to be emitted to a concave mirror II; enabling the laser input to the surface of the Yb: GLSO crystal to be combined with a concave mirror I and the concave mirror II to form an X-shaped optical resonant cavity, and when oscillating laser in the resonant cavity meets laser implementation conditions such as particle beam inversion, outputting the oscillating laser from a laser output coupling mirror. Compared with the traditional Yb: YAG crystal, the Yb: GLSO crystal adopted by the invention is easier to realize femtosecond laser output by means of pumping.
