Problems solved by technology

However, since the linewidth of the single-frequency or narrow-linewidth laser needs to be broadened in the phase modulation process before being amplified, the narrow linewidth characteristics of the laser are destroyed to a certain extent, and the laser linewidth will continue to widen after frequency doubling. This method generally cannot obtain single-frequency frequency-doubled lasers, and many high-end applications require single-frequency frequency-doubled lasers

Abstract

A high-power frequency-doubled single-frequency laser generator for phase modulation and demodulation, comprising: a single-frequency laser (1), a first phase modulator (2), an optical fiber amplifier (4), and a space isolator (5) connected in sequence , a frequency multiplying device (6) and a second phase modulator (7), and also includes a signal generator (3). It is characterized in that: the signal generator (3) generates two periodic signals with the same shape and frequency, which drive the first phase modulator (2) and the second phase modulator (7) respectively, two periods The phase difference of the sex signal is nπ-Δφ, n is an odd number, and Δφ is the phase delay generated by laser transmission amplification between the second phase modulator (7) and the first phase modulator (2), and the second phase modulator (7) The modulation depth of is twice that of the first phase modulator (2). Phase modulation of single-frequency fundamental-frequency light produces multi-single-frequency fundamental-frequency light, which improves the laser SBS threshold. After amplification and frequency doubling, high-power multi-single-frequency doubled light is obtained, and the phase of frequency-doubled light is demodulated to obtain high-power single-frequency doubled light. frequency light. This scheme enables the single-frequency laser to have the double-frequency linewidth characteristic before phase modulation, and also has the characteristics of simple and flexible structure and good beam quality. It provides a new scheme for high-power single-frequency laser frequency doubling, and has important practical value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of optoelectronic technology, in particular to a high-power frequency-multiplied single-frequency laser generating device for phase modulation and demodulation. Background technique [0002] Visible light lasers have important applications in detection, communication, medical detection and treatment, industrial processing, and cold atoms. Fiber laser frequency doubling technology mainly obtains high-power visible and ultraviolet lasers through single-pass frequency doubling and resonance frequency doubling. In laser frequency doubling, to achieve high nonlinear conversion efficiency, the fundamental frequency light is required to be a single-frequency or narrow-linewidth laser. As the power of single-frequency, narrow-linewidth fiber laser increases, due to the small cross-sectional area of ​​the fiber core and the long interaction distance, it is easy to cause various nonlinear effects, especially stimulated Brillou...
