[0003] At present, the generation methods of solid-state continuous-wave mid-infrared 2-4 μm band laser mainly include linear method based on population inversion and nonlinear method based on nonlinear effect, wherein the nonlinear method includes optical parametric oscillation, optical parametric amplification, sum frequency and difference frequency, etc., and the linear method includes semiconductor quantum cascade laser and infrared-pumped transition metal iron ion doped crystal material, etc. The nonlinear method can generate 1.5 μm and 4 μm idler and signal light outputs, but in the continuous operation system, the laser output power stability is poor, and the efficiency is low. In the linear method, the semiconductor laser also has the problems of poor beam quality, limited power, etc., and can only realize single wavelength output. While using thulium-doped fiber laser to pump holmium-doped crystal can obtain all-solid-state high-power 2 μm laser output, and using infrared-pumped transition metal iron ion doped crystal material to generate 4 μm band continuous laser output, such technology has the advantages of good beam quality, high efficiency, wavelength tunable, good power stability, scalable amplification, compact structure and easy integration, etc. At present, there are many literatures reporting that 2 μm band solid-state continuous-wave laser output is obtained by pumping holmium-doped crystal with 1.15 μm laser, and 4 μm band solid-state continuous-wave laser output is obtained by pumping iron-doped zinc selenide crystal with 3 μm band continuous-wave laser. In 2013, Wang et al. reported that 1.4 W of 2.07 μm laser output was obtained by pumping Ho:LuLiF4 crystal with 1.15 μm laser, and the slope efficiency was 29% (2013, Vol. 21, Optics Express, “Efficient Ho:LuLiF4 laser diode-pumped at 1.15 μm”). In 2018, Pushkin et al. pumped iron-doped zinc selenide crystal with a 2.8 μm fiber laser, and obtained 2.1 W of 4 μm band continuous-wave laser output at low temperature of 77 K, and the optical-to-optical conversion efficiency was as high as 32% (2018, Vol. 43, Optics Letters, “Compact, highly efficient, 2.1-W continuous-wave mid-infrared Fe:ZnSe coherent source, pumped by an Er:ZBLAN fiber laser”).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] The application will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and exemplary embodiments.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 A high-efficiency all-solid-state mid-infrared 2μm and 4μm dual-wavelength continuous laser includes a resonant cavity, a cryostat 6, and a pump laser 1, a collimating focusing system 2, and a laser gain medium 5 arranged in sequence along an optical path.
[0030] The pump laser 1 is a laser with a wavelength of 1150nm.
[0031] The collimating focusing system 2 includes two flat-convex lenses with a focal length of 50mm.
[0032] The laser gain medium 5 is a holmium-iron co-doped zinc selenide crystal (Ho / Fe:ZnSe), wherein the holmium ion doping concentration is 1.5mol%, the iron ion doping concentration is 0.1mol%, the laser gain medium 5 is loaded on a red copper heat sink and installed in the cryostat 6.
[0033] The cryostat 6 is used to control the temperature of the laser gain medium 5 through liquid nitrogen refrigeration, and the refrigeration of the cryostat 6 is 78K; the cryostat 6 is located in the resonant cavity, and two light transmission windows 4 are arranged on the cryostat 6 at a position coinciding with the optical path, the light transmission windows 4 are coated with a dielectric film A, and the dielectric film A has a transmittance ≥95% for a wavelength of 1100-1160nm, a 2μm wavelength band and a 4μm wavelength band.
[0034] The resonant cavity is a linear resonant cavity, and the resonant cavity comprises a plano-concave total reflection cavity mirror 3 and a plano-plano output cavity mirror 7 arranged in sequence along an optical path; the laser gain medium 5 is located between the plano-concave total reflection cavity mirror 3 and the plano-plano output cavity mirror 7; the laser incidence surface of the plano-concave total reflection cavity mirror 3 is a plane, and the laser emission surface is a concave surface; the plano-concave total reflection cavity mirror 3 is coated with a dielectric film B, the transmittance of the dielectric film B for 1100-1160 nm is greater than or equal to 95%, and the reflectivity for 2 μm and 4 μm bands is greater than or equal to 99%; the plano-plano output cavity mirror 7 is coated with a dielectric film C, the reflectivity of the dielectric film C for 1100-1160 nm is greater than or equal to 95%, the reflectivity for the 2 μm band is 4-90%, and the reflectivity for the 4 μm band is 10-90%.
[0035] The temperature control of the cryostat 6 is set to 78 K, and after the temperature of the laser gain medium 5 reaches the set temperature, the pump laser 1 is turned on. The 1150 nm pump light output by the pump laser 1 enters the laser gain medium 5 in the resonant cavity after passing through the collimating and focusing system 2.
[0036] The 2 μm and 4 μm dual-wavelength laser generation process is as shown in Figure 5 The holmium ions in the holmium ion 5 I8 energy level 11 are pumped by 1150 nm ground state absorption pump light process 14 to jump to the upper holmium ion 5 I6 energy level 13, the holmium ions in the energy level jump downward to the holmium ion 5 I7 energy level 12, and generate 3 μm stimulated radiation 15.

The holmium ions in the holmium ion 5 I7 energy level 12 further jump downward to the holmium ion 5 I8 energy level 11, and generate 2 μm stimulated radiation 16. This process of generating 2 μm stimulated radiation 16 has two effects: one is to consume the holmium ions 5 I7 energy level 12, which is beneficial to obtain the holmium ions 5 I6 energy level 13→ holmium ion 5 I7 energy level 12 jump particle inversion, and the other is to generate 2 μm stimulated radiation 16, realizing 2 μm wavelength laser output.
