[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] The photoelectric efficiency of carbon dioxide laser is low, the output energy is low, and the working material is unstable, resulting in a short life and poor stability. Therefore, this method has obvious disadvantages. For this reason, this embodiment proposes a mid-infrared solid laser for medical cosmetology. The overall structural diagram is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, it includes a laser cavity, a laser resonant cavity, an indicator light source 8, a 45° reflector 3, a coupling mirror 2 and an output optical fiber 1. The laser cavity is a double xenon lamp single crystal rod; the laser resonant cavity includes an output mirror 4 and a total reflector 7, which are coaxially fixedly mounted at both ends of the laser cavity; one of the output mirror 4 and the total reflector 7 is a concave mirror; one end of the output mirror 4 is coaxially fixedly mounted with a 45° reflector 3, a coupling mirror 2 and an output optical fiber 1 in sequence; the indicator light source 8 is mounted on one side of the 45° reflector 3, emits an indicator light, which is reflected by the 45° reflector 3 and enters the coupling mirror 2; the laser cavity light beam and the indicator light pass through the 45° reflector 3 and the coupling mirror 2, and are output from the output optical fiber 1. The indicator light is visible light, and generally green light or red light is used.

[0023] Specifically, the schematic diagram of the laser cavity structure is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the laser cavity includes a ceramic cavity 9, a crystal rod 5 and two xenon lamps 6; the crystal rod 5 and the two xenon lamps 6 are embedded in the cavity of the ceramic cavity 9 and isolated by a quartz glass sleeve 10; the crystal rod 5 is located between the two xenon lamps 6. The inner wall of the ceramic cavity 9 is a mirror reflection wall, and the inner curved surface of the cavity is designed through optical simulation. The pump light in the ceramic cavity 9 can be evenly distributed, which can improve the conversion efficiency of the laser cavity. The cavity wall of the ceramic cavity 9 is hollow, and water flows inside for heat dissipation. The water inlet and outlet are located at the positive and negative poles of the xenon lamp 6, and the water is isolated by a sealing ring, which ensures that the xenon lamp and the crystal rod have a good heat dissipation effect when working, and improves the stability and reliability of the system.

[0024] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the laser resonant cavity adopts a plano-concave cavity, and the curvature lens can be the output mirror 4 or on the reflector 7, which can be selected according to the debugging requirements. The output mirror 4 and the reflector 7 form a laser resonant cavity, and the generated photons oscillate in the resonant cavity and form stimulated radiation, and finally generate laser output from the output mirror 4.

[0025] Furthermore, after optical simulation design, the laser enters the coupling mirror 2 after passing through the 45° reflector 3. The size and position of the laser spot on the fiber end face can be controlled by adjusting the front and rear positions of the coupling mirror 2. The position of the indicator light cooperates with the reflector 3 to adjust the size and position of the indicator light entering the fiber. Through debugging, the indicator light and the laser can be coaxially output, which is convenient for judgment and observation during use. The output fiber 1 uses a suspended fiber to avoid the deviation caused by the vibration of the laser, and the laser acts on the metal surface to contaminate the fiber end face.

[0026] The operation of the laser of this embodiment includes the following steps: the xenon lamp 6 generates strong pulsed light through high voltage discharge of the power supply, and the spectrum range generated by it is very wide and can completely cover the absorption peak of the gain medium in the crystal rod. At the same time, the ultraviolet light generated by the light source will heat the crystal rod 5, resulting in adverse effects such as reduced conversion efficiency, spot deformation, thermal lens effect, thermal depolarization effect, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to use a special substance doped in the quartz glass sleeve 10 to filter out or absorb all the ultraviolet light, and take it away by cooling water in the form of heat. Generally, a cerium-doped quartz glass sleeve or a samarium-doped quartz glass sleeve is used to ensure the effective absorption of the crystal gain material while reducing the impact of ultraviolet light on the crystal.

[0027] The gain medium in the crystal rod 5 absorbs light of a specific wavelength and generates an energy level transition from a low energy state to a high energy state. Subsequently, due to the instability of the high energy state, an energy level transition occurs again, from a high energy state to a low energy state, and energy is released outward in the form of light and heat. The generated photons will oscillate along the direction of the laser resonant cavity. During the continuous oscillation process, the light energy is continuously amplified, and part of the light is output through the output mirror 4 to form a laser. After the laser cavity outputs the laser, the laser will pass through the 45° reflector 3 and enter the coupling mirror 2. The coupling mirror 2 focuses the laser and couples it into the output optical fiber 1 for output.

[0028] This embodiment adopts a mid-infrared solid laser as a light source. Since the mid-infrared wavelength is at the absorption peak of K, it can be better absorbed by K, and is more targeted during treatment. It can achieve the treatment effect with very small energy, and the recovery period is short and the user experience is good. The laser cavity adopts the form of a xenon lamp single crystal rod, which can extend the laser life, and has high energy efficiency and resource utilization. The double resonant cavity adopts a flat concave cavity design, which has high output efficiency, good stability, and anti-disturbance capability. The fiber coupling part adopts a suspended fiber, which can effectively reduce the damage of the laser to the fiber and extend the service life of the fiber.

[0029] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
