Abstract

A reshaping method includes fixing prism/waveguide coupling unit formed by prism and four deposited film layers at centre of rotation disc, having its attenuation total reflection curve width match to specrum width of incoming laser pulse, selecting attenuation total reflection curve to match laser spectrum width by varying incoming angle, making fine regulation to incoming angle for obtaining ideal shaped spectrum. A device for realizing the method is also disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for realizing spectrum shaping by using a prism / waveguide coupling unit and a method for shaping ultrashort laser pulse spectrum by using the attenuated total reflection property of the prism / waveguide coupling unit, which belongs to the field of laser application technology. Background technique [0002] In the ultra-short and ultra-intense laser technology, many factors limit the further improvement of the output power of the laser system. Among them, the gain-narrowing effect of solid-state laser amplifying medium is a difficult problem. Due to the limited bandwidth of the solid-state laser amplifying medium, the center gain of the laser pulse is high and the edge gain is low. As the laser pulse is amplified step by step, the spectrum of the laser pulse will become narrower and narrower, which is the so-called gain-narrowing effect. The gain-narrowing effect prevents the laser pulse from making full use of the gai...
