Problems solved by technology

However, the output wavelength of the fundamental frequency pump source used in nonlinear frequency conversion technology is usually around 1 μm or 2 μm. In order to convert the wavelength to the range of medium and long-wave infrared bands, it is often necessary to use more than two stages of frequency conversion devices. It will inevitably make the structure of the laser system more complex and costly, and further reduce the reliability and stability of the laser due to the increase in the number of optical devices

The left side of the coupling-in mirror described in this embodiment is coated with 2.09 μm antireflection film, and the right side is coated with 2.09 μm antireflection film and 2.8 μm and 4.3 μm high reflection films . The transmittance of the anti-reflection coating is greater than 99%, and the reflectivity of the high-reflection coating is greater than 99%. The rest of the contents are the same as those in Example 1.

Embodiment 3

[0057] This embodiment will further describe Example 2. The nonlinear crystal ZnGeP2 crystal described in this embodiment has both the first clear surface and the second clear surface plated with 2.09 μm, 2.8 μm, 4.3 μm and 8 μm wavelength bands. The cutting angle of the first clear surface is θ1=51.3°, and the cutting angle of the second clear surface is θ2=46.7°, so the first and second optical parametric oscillators are both type I phase matching , that is, o→e+e. The rest of the contents are the same as those in Example 2.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of laser technology, in particular to a composite optical parametric oscillator based on a single nonlinear crystal. Background technique [0002] The mid- and long-wave infrared bands of 3-5μm and 8-12μm are two extremely important atmospheric windows. The atmospheric absorption and scattering losses of infrared radiation in this band are extremely small, and can be used in turbid air, smoke, fog, haze, rain, snow, etc. Effective transmission in harsh atmospheric environments, and these two bands cover the absorption peaks of many molecular gases, toxic agents, air, water and soil pollutants, human respiratory components, and many explosive agents, and this wavelength range is also mid- and long-wave infrared. The wavelength response range of the focal plane detector makes the mid- and long-wave infrared coherent radiation sources of these two bands have great application value in the fields of atmospheric monitoring...
