Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention generally relates to the field of laser technology, and in particular to a back-to-back heat absorption laser device and an output method. Background Art

[0002] Laser diode (LD) array pumped solid-state laser (DPSSL) has become one of the main development directions in the field of solid-state lasers due to its advantages such as high efficiency, compact structure, stability and reliability, long life and full solidification.

[0003] The present invention adopts a pumping structure of a single-side pumped Nd YAG crystal, uses a stacked LD array as a pumping source to improve the light focusing efficiency, reasonably designs the light focusing cavity structure and related parameters, improves the gain uniformity in the crystal rod, and obtains high-efficiency, high-beam quality laser output.

[0004] Thermal effect is one of the unavoidable problems when all-solid-state lasers are working normally. The LD stack will release a large amount of heat after being powered on. When a large amount of heat accumulates inside the laser, high-temperature loss is very likely to occur, causing optical catastrophe of the laser and even irreversible damage.

[0005] The conduction cooling system is one of the commonly used heat dissipation methods for all-solid-state lasers. This method does not require a complex temperature control system, does not increase the size and power consumption of the laser, and is conducive to miniaturization and field operation. However, due to material limitations and space waste, traditional laser conduction cooling radiators can no longer meet the needs of increasingly complex use environments. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a new structural design for intermittent all-solid-state lasers, and there is an urgent need for a technical means suitable for handling internal heat deposition in such non-water-cooled all-solid-state lasers.
