Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a 45° oblique-axis pumping method and a pumping module for a slab-shaped laser crystal, belonging to the technical field of lasers. Background technique
[0002] At present, there are two main pump coupling methods for laser diode-pumped solid-state lasers—parallel optical axis pumping and vertical optical axis pumping. The parallel optical axis pumping refers to the pump coupling method in which the pump optical axis is parallel to the laser exit optical axis; the vertical optical axis pump refers to the pump coupling method in which the pump optical axis is perpendicular to the laser exit optical axis. These two pump coupling methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. In the parallel optical axis pumping, the mode matching between the pump light and the laser is better, and the light output efficiency and beam quality are relatively high, but the power expansion is limited by the light power density of the incident...
