Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of lasers, and mainly relates to a method for developing an all-solid-state ultraviolet laser capable of simultaneously generating 310nm and 355nm high-energy lasers. Background Art
[0002] Ozone is a light blue gas with a special odor. It was discovered by German scientist CF Schonbein in the 1840s. It has active chemical properties and can participate in a variety of atmospheric photochemical reactions. Atmospheric ozone usually exists in the stratosphere and troposphere. About 90% of ozone is distributed in the stratosphere at an altitude of 10-50km, and 10% is distributed in the troposphere below 10km. Ozone plays an important role in human health, plant growth, climate regulation, and maintaining the radiation balance of the earth. As a trace gas in the atmosphere, ozone can absorb most of the short-wave ultraviolet rays in the sun's rays, protecting the creatures on the earth from damage by ultraviolet radiation. It plays an important role in the regional and global atmosphere and climate system.
[0003] Differential absorption lidar (DIAL) is an effective active remote sensing method for detecting the vertical distribution of atmospheric ozone. Its advantages are mainly high spatial resolution and temporal resolution, real-time vertical observation and continuous long-term observation. Based on what kind of emission light source technology, obtaining lasers of different wavelengths to detect different or the same polluted gases is one of the core issues in the research of differential absorption lidar technology. In order to detect stratospheric ozone, it is important to develop ultraviolet band light sources in combination with ozone absorption spectra. The present invention designs and develops an all-solid-state ultraviolet laser that simultaneously generates 310nm and 355nm high-energy lasers in response to the needs of lidar ozone detection.
[0004] There are mainly the following light source technologies for the development of ultraviolet differential absorption lidar emission light sources. XeCl excimer lasers emit 308nm lasers, but excimer lasers are inefficient, expensive, and contain toxic gases. Titanium sapphire lasers are tunable lasers with a wide tuning range. They can be tuned in the range of 700-1050nm. Combined with nonlinear frequency conversion technology, the band can be extended to the ultraviolet. Raman lasers use stimulated Raman scattering technology to convert the wavelength of lasers, which can extend the wavelength of lasers. These include gas Raman technology, liquid Raman technology, and solid Raman technology. Gas and liquid Raman technologies have the disadvantages of large equipment size, low conversion efficiency, and poor beam quality. Therefore, solid Raman technology has great development potential in wavelength conversion. Patent CN219715757U introduces a method of frequency up-conversion based on stimulated Raman scattering, and then realizing 280nm and 295nm ultraviolet dual-wavelength laser output through frequency doubling technology. However, stimulated Raman scattering is an inelastic scattering. During the scattering process, part of the energy will be stored in the Raman crystal in the form of heat, and the absorption of pump light by the Raman crystal will also generate heat. The generation of this heat will cause the self-focusing effect and thermally induced birefringence effect of the Raman crystal, and ultimately cause the power of the output Raman laser to be unstable and inefficient. Optical parametric oscillation technology is a mature nonlinear frequency conversion technology. Combined with frequency doubling and sum frequency technology, it can flexibly extend the laser wavelength to the ultraviolet to meet various detection needs. Patent CN 111725695A introduces a method of pumping an optical parametric oscillator based on a Nd:YAG Q-switched laser with a wavelength of 1064nm as a pump source, and generating a 355nm laser based on frequency doubling and tripling technology, and achieving a 289nm / 299nm laser output by summing the 355nm with the output signal light of the optical parametric oscillator. However, due to the excessive nonlinear frequency conversion involved in the process, the overall conversion efficiency is not high, and the laser wavelengths generated are at 289nm and 299nm, which cannot solve the problem of large ozone absorption cross-sections. Patent CN 116565681A introduces a method of generating 193nm vacuum ultraviolet laser output, which uses a 355nm laser pumped by tripling the fundamental frequency light of a 1064nm pulse to obtain a 472nm signal light, and then summing the frequency-doubled light obtained by frequency doubling with the fundamental frequency light of 1064nm to obtain a vacuum ultraviolet output. This method is used to generate vacuum ultraviolet light output between 100-200nm and is not suitable for ozone detection.
[0005] At present, there is no report of a solid gain medium that can directly radiate and generate ultraviolet lasers. Therefore, the current means of generating ultraviolet lasers is mainly through nonlinear harmonic conversion technology. In the development of ultraviolet light sources using nonlinear harmonic conversion technology, there is no report on the development of laser light sources at 310nm. In response to satellite-borne needs, the present invention uses optical parametric oscillation technology and combines frequency doubling and frequency summing technology to perform frequency conversion on the 1064nm fundamental frequency light, and finally achieves 310nm and 355nm high-power pulsed laser output, solving the need for laser radar ozone detection for emitting light sources.
