Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of laser technology, and more particularly to an ultraviolet laser with adjustable cavity length and high stability. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the growing demand of the new energy industry, higher requirements have been placed on front-end laser processing technology. The stability of the laser has a huge impact on the laser, especially when the laser is used in precision processing. The influence of the cavity length on the stability of the laser is particularly critical. We know that the stability conditions of the resonant cavity are: The curvatures R1 and R2 of the laser cavity mirror are generally specific in actual use. The controllable cavity length L can greatly improve the actual use effect of the laser. The influence of thermal lens in the actual operation of high-power solid-state lasers cannot be ignored. Traditional solid-state lasers can achieve relatively stable laser output under a certain state. When the application end requires the use of high and low power overlapping light output operations, one laser can no longer meet the needs, or when the application end requires lasers of different powers to operate, it cannot be compatible. Ultraviolet lasers have a shorter wavelength than infrared and have greater photon energy. As a result, they can perform precision processing in more delicate fields and are very popular in society. Their stability directly determines the yield rate of precision processing.

[0003] Based on this, it is necessary to invent an ultraviolet laser that can obtain ultraviolet laser output with adjustable cavity length, high stability and compact structure. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an ultraviolet laser to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] The present application provides an ultraviolet laser that can achieve the technical effects of ultraviolet laser output with adjustable cavity length, high stability, and compact structure. The ultraviolet laser comprises, in order in the first direction, a pump source, a first collimating lens, a first focusing lens, a first cavity mirror, a gain medium, a Q-switching element, and a second cavity mirror; in order in the second direction, a third cavity mirror and a displacement motor; in order in the third direction, a first spectrometer, a first frequency-doubling crystal, and a fourth cavity mirror; the third cavity mirror is located behind the second cavity mirror in the second direction, and the first spectrometer is located behind the first cavity mirror in the third direction. In the fourth direction, a fifth cavity mirror is also included, which is located behind the first spectrometer in the fourth direction, at a 45° angle to the optical path in the fourth direction, and is located on the side close to the third cavity mirror. In the fifth direction, the ultraviolet laser comprises, in order, a second focusing lens, a second frequency-doubling crystal, a second collimating lens, a sixth cavity mirror, and a second spectrometer; the second focusing lens is located behind the fifth cavity mirror in the fifth direction.

[0007] The pump source is typically a semiconductor laser that emits an infrared beam of approximately 808nm / 880nm. After being output via a fiber optic patch cord and collimated by a first collimating lens, the infrared beam is converged by the first focusing lens as it passes through the first cavity mirror and is focused within the gain medium. The pump source, fiber optic patch cord, first collimating lens, and first focusing lens together constitute the pump coupling module of the ultraviolet laser of this application.

[0008] The Q-switching element can control the power pulses required for operation.

[0009] The first cavity mirror, the second cavity mirror, the third cavity mirror, the fourth cavity mirror, the first optical splitter, the fifth cavity mirror and the sixth cavity mirror together constitute the resonant module of the ultraviolet laser of the present application, that is, the resonant cavity.

[0010] The resonance principle of the ultraviolet laser of this application is as follows: pump light passing through the first cavity mirror undergoes stimulated radiation in the gain medium, generating a 1000-1100nm infrared beam. The corresponding side surfaces of the first, second, third, and fourth cavity mirrors are coated with a reflective film. The 1000-1100nm infrared beam passes through the second, third, and fourth cavity mirrors, then returns to the first cavity mirror, continuously reflecting to form a first loop. When the pump source continuously provides excitation, the 1000-1100nm infrared photons continuously resonate in this loop.

[0011] The 1000-1100nm beam in the first loop undergoes a nonlinear effect when passing through the first frequency-doubling crystal, generating a 500-550nm beam. This beam is then retraced through the fourth cavity mirror, reflected by the first beam splitter to the fifth cavity mirror, and then reflected by the fifth cavity mirror to the second frequency-doubling crystal for transformation. The remaining 500-550nm beam is then retraced through the sixth cavity mirror, passing through the second frequency-doubling crystal again, and then through the fifth cavity mirror. After reflection from the first beam splitter, it reaches the fourth cavity mirror, completing the second loop.

[0012] The 500-550nm green light beam reflected and output by the first beam splitter is reflected by the fifth cavity mirror and then converged by the second focusing lens. This beam is then focused within the second frequency-doubling crystal. The beam is then collimated by the second collimating lens and reflected by the sixth cavity mirror. Finally, the 250-275nm high-reflection coating of the second beam splitter is used to efficiently and stably output the 250-275nm ultraviolet laser in the sixth direction.

[0013] To match the high and low powers generated by the UV laser, eliminate the adverse effects of thermal lensing on the stability of the resonant cavity at different powers, and achieve highly stable UV laser output, the third cavity mirror is fixed to a displacement motor. By moving the displacement motor, the third cavity mirror moves in a second direction, thereby achieving adjustable cavity length. Simultaneously, the movement of the third cavity mirror in the second direction does not alter the optical path of the entire UV laser when adjusting the cavity length, thus ensuring the stability of the UV laser output.

[0014] The present application designs a resonant cavity with two loops and a compact structure, and then uses a movable displacement motor to drive the third cavity mirror to move in the second direction, thereby achieving adjustable cavity length. The ultraviolet laser can adjust the cavity length to obtain a cavity length suitable for the corresponding power output under different output powers, so that the output power can be stable and continuous. Furthermore, a ultraviolet laser with precisely adjustable cavity length, compatible with multiple high and low power overlapping stable outputs, high integration, and compact structure is obtained.

[0022] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of the rights of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0023] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the first structure of the ultraviolet laser provided in the present application. The ultraviolet laser includes, in the first direction, a pump source 1, a first collimating lens 2, a first focusing lens 3, a first cavity mirror 4, a gain medium 5, a Q-switched element 7, and a second cavity mirror 9; in the second direction, it includes, in sequence, a third cavity mirror 10 and a displacement motor 12, and the third cavity mirror 10 is located behind the second cavity mirror 9 in the second direction. In the third direction, it includes, in sequence, a first spectrometer 14, a first frequency-doubling crystal 16, and a fourth cavity mirror 17, and the first spectrometer 14 is located behind the first cavity mirror 4 in the third direction. In the fourth direction, it also includes a fifth cavity mirror 20, which is located behind the first spectrometer 14 in the fourth direction, is placed at 45 degrees to the optical path in the fourth direction, and is located on the side close to the third cavity mirror 10. In the fifth direction, the second focusing lens 23, the second frequency-doubling crystal 25, the second collimating lens 26, the sixth cavity mirror 27, and the second beam splitter 28 are sequentially included. The second focusing lens 23 is located behind the fifth cavity mirror 20 in the fifth direction. The above structural arrangement can make the ultraviolet laser of the present application a highly integrated and compact laser.

[0024] The pump source 1 is generally a semiconductor laser that emits an infrared beam of approximately 808nm / 880nm. After being output via a fiber optic patch cord (not shown), the infrared beam is collimated by a first collimating lens 2 and then converged by a first focusing lens 3. After passing through a first cavity mirror 4, the beam is focused within a gain medium 5. In other words, the pump source 1, fiber optic patch cord, first collimating lens 2, and first focusing lens 3 together constitute the pump coupling module of the ultraviolet laser of this application.

[0025] The first cavity mirror 4, the second cavity mirror 9, the third cavity mirror 10, the fourth cavity mirror 17, the first optical splitter 14, the fifth cavity mirror 20 and the sixth cavity mirror 27 together constitute the resonant module of the ultraviolet laser of the present application, that is, the resonant cavity.

[0026] The resonance principle of the ultraviolet laser of the present application is as follows: the pump light passing through the first cavity mirror 4 undergoes stimulated radiation in the gain medium 5, generating a 1000-1100nm infrared beam. This beam is reflected by the second cavity mirror 9 to the third cavity mirror 10, after which it is retraced along its original path by the third cavity mirror 10. It is then reflected by the second cavity mirror 9 and the first cavity mirror 4 before being retraced along its original path by the fourth cavity mirror 17. The beam retraced by the fourth cavity mirror 17 is then reflected by the first cavity mirror 4, thus completing the first loop. When the pump source 1 continuously provides excitation, the 1000-1100nm infrared photons continuously resonate in this loop.

[0027] The 1000-1100nm beam in the first loop undergoes a nonlinear effect when passing through the first frequency-doubling crystal 16, generating a 500-550nm beam. This beam is then retraced by the fourth cavity mirror 17, reflected by the first beam splitter 14 to the fifth cavity mirror 20, and then reflected by the fifth cavity mirror 20 to the second frequency-doubling crystal 25 for transformation. The remaining 500-550nm beam is then retraced by the sixth cavity mirror 27, passing through the second frequency-doubling crystal 25 again, and then passing through the fifth cavity mirror 20 and the first beam splitter 14 before arriving at the fourth cavity mirror 17, thus completing the second loop. The first cavity mirror 4, second cavity mirror 9, third cavity mirror 10, fourth cavity mirror 17, first beam splitter 14, fifth cavity mirror 20, and sixth cavity mirror 27 together form the resonant cavity of two resonant circuits, with the first beam splitter 14 acting as both a dichroic mirror and a cavity mirror within the resonant cavity.

[0028] The 500-550nm green light beam reflected and output by the first spectrometer 14 is reflected by the fifth cavity mirror 20 and then converged by the second focusing lens 23 when passing through the second focusing lens 23, so that it is focused in the second frequency doubling crystal 25. The light beam is then collimated by the second collimating lens 26 and reflected by the sixth cavity mirror 27.

[0029] In order to ensure that the resonant cavity can operate efficiently, stably and normally, the side of the first cavity mirror 4 close to the first optical splitter 14 or the gain medium 5 is coated with a 1000-1100nm high reflection film, the side of the second cavity mirror 9 close to the Q-switched element 7 or the third cavity mirror 10 is coated with a 1000-1100nm high reflection film, the side of the third cavity mirror 10 close to the second cavity mirror 9 is coated with a 1000-1100nm high reflection film, and the side of the fourth cavity mirror 17 close to the first optical splitter 14 is coated with a 1000- The first beam splitter 14 is coated with a 500-550nm high-reflection film on the side close to the fourth cavity mirror 17. The fifth cavity mirror 20 is coated with a 500-550nm high-reflection film on the side close to the second focusing lens 23. The sixth cavity mirror 27 is coated with a 500-550nm high-reflection film on the side close to the second collimating lens 26. The second beam splitter 28 is coated with a 250-275nm high-reflection film on the side close to the sixth cavity mirror 27. The 250-275nm high-reflection film on the second beam splitter 28 is used to efficiently and stably output the 250-275nm ultraviolet laser light in the sixth direction.

[0031] To match the high and low powers generated by the UV laser and achieve highly stable UV laser output, the third cavity mirror 10 is fixed to a displacement motor 12. By moving the displacement motor 12, the third cavity mirror 10 is driven to move in the second direction, thereby achieving adjustable cavity length. Simultaneously, the movement of the third cavity mirror 10 in the second direction does not alter the optical path of the entire UV laser when adjusting the cavity length, thus ensuring the stability of the UV laser output. The displacement motor 12 is a precision displacement motor, and its movement can be controlled by software.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the first cavity mirror 4 is placed at a 60° angle to the optical paths in the first and third directions, the second cavity mirror 9 is placed at a 45° angle to the optical paths in the first and second directions, and the second spectrometer 28 is placed at a 45° angle to the optical paths in the fifth and sixth directions. The components in the second and third directions are all arranged on the same side of the first direction, and the component in the fifth direction is arranged on the side of the fifth cavity mirror 20 away from the first direction. The above structural arrangement can make the ultraviolet laser of the present application a highly integrated and compact laser. At the same time, when the cavity length is adjusted, the optical path direction of the entire ultraviolet laser will not be changed, thereby ensuring the stability of the ultraviolet laser output.

[0034] Furthermore, in order to fully and effectively utilize the light beam, the front and rear end faces of the gain medium 5, the Q-switching element 7 and the first spectrometer 14 are all coated with a 1000-1100nm anti-reflection film, the first frequency-doubling crystal 16 is coated with a 1000-1100nm and 500-550nm anti-reflection film on both sides, and the second frequency-doubling crystal 25 is coated with a 250-275nm and 500-550nm anti-reflection film on both sides.

The third beam splitter 30 is located behind the second beam splitter 28 in the sixth direction. The third beam splitter 30 is coated with a 500-550nm high-reflection coating on the side closest to the second beam splitter 28, and a 250-275nm anti-reflection coating on both sides.

[0037] Furthermore, in order to reduce the interference of idle frequency light on resonance, both sides of the first cavity mirror 4 are coated with 500-550nm anti-reflection film, both sides of the second cavity mirror 9 and the third cavity mirror 10 are coated with 808 / 880nm and 500-550nm anti-reflection films, respectively, both sides of the fifth cavity mirror 20 are coated with 1000-1100nm anti-reflection film, and both sides of the second spectrometer 28 are coated with 500-550nm anti-reflection film.
