Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of lasers, and in particular relates to a dual-wavelength slab laser. Background Art
[0002] The first dual-wavelength laser was developed by CG Betha et al. of Bell Labs in 1973, who used Nd:YAG crystal in a three-mirror colinear cavity with a Q switch to achieve dual-wavelength pulse operation of 1064nm and 1319nm (CG Betha, IEEEJournal Quantum Electronics, QE-9, 254 (1973)). Since then, reports have been made on the use of other laser crystals to achieve dual-wavelength pulse operation (W. Vollmer, MG Knights et al., Conferences on Laser and Electro-optics, Digest of Technical Papers, 188, 1983, May, 17-21, J.Machan, R. Kurtz et al., Applied Physics Letters, Vol.51, No.17, 1313 (1987), VE Nadtoncheev, OE Nanii, Soviet Journal of Quantum Electronics, Vol.19, No.4, 444 (1991)).
[0003] At this stage, people have reached a general consensus on the wide application value of dual-wavelength lasers. For example, in the civilian field, dual-wavelength lasers can be applied to laser medicine, high-brightness laser color display, laser color printing and other directions; in the military field, dual-wavelength lasers can be applied to differential absorption lidar; at the laboratory level, dual-wavelength lasers can be applied to nonlinear frequency conversion, fine laser spectroscopy, multi-photon distribution ionization of atoms and molecules and other directions. It should be pointed out that compared with gas dual-wavelength lasers, solid dual-wavelength lasers are more valuable for research. In order to obtain stable and more energetic dual-wavelength laser output in solid dual-wavelength lasers, researchers have focused their research directions on the following three aspects: ① Simultaneously output the fundamental frequency light of the laser operating at a fixed wavelength and its frequency conversion light; ② The light emitted by the laser based on the broadband emission spectrum of the laser medium is used to achieve dual-wavelength operation through a frequency-selective device; ③ Dual-wavelength laser output is achieved based on the two emission peaks of the emission spectrum of the laser medium. Among the above three methods of obtaining dual-wavelength laser output, the first two are more mature, but the disadvantage is that other wavelengths are also doped while obtaining dual-wavelength laser output, and the obtained dual-wavelength laser output energy is low. As for the third method of dual-wavelength laser output, because its device structure is relatively simple, the implementation cost is low, and the wavelength band is rich, it has the potential for further exploration; however, for Nd:YAG crystals, there are also some difficulties in the simultaneous output of 1064nm and 1319nm: ① The oscillation effect of suppressing redundant spectral lines such as 1338nm is not good; ② It is difficult to adjust the output power ratio of 1064nm / 1319nm dual-wavelength laser; ③ It is difficult to control the threshold of 1064nm / 1319nm laser to be equal and the laser structure devices are complicated.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a dual-wavelength slab laser to solve the existing technical problems of suppressing the oscillation of redundant spectral lines such as 1338nm, adjusting the output power ratio of the 1064nm / 1319nm dual-wavelength laser, controlling the thresholds of the 1064nm / 1319nm laser to be equal, and the complexity of the laser structure devices when realizing the 1064nm / 1319nm dual-wavelength laser output based on the two emission peaks of the emission spectrum of the laser medium.

[0061] Example 1
[0062] See attached Figure 1The present invention provides a dual-wavelength slab laser, wherein the slab crystal 2 is a Nd:YAG crystal with a doping concentration of 1% and a trapezoidal shape, the lower base of the Nd:YAG crystal is 61.2 mm, the upper base of the Nd:YAG crystal is 59 mm, the width of the Nd:YAG crystal is 10 mm, the thickness of the Nd:YAG crystal is 2 mm, and the bottom angle of the Nd:YAG crystal is 29.2°. The second electro-optical Q switch 6 is selected from LiNbO3 crystal, which has a much smaller absorption coefficient in the 1319 nm band than that of KD2PO4 crystal. After coating, its transmittance in the 1319 nm band is higher than 98%, and its insertion loss does not exceed 1%, which is more conducive to the oscillation of the 1319 nm laser. The first electro-optical Q switch 3 is selected from KD2PO4 crystal, which has a high electro-optical coefficient and is used for electro-optical Q switching of the 1064 nm laser optical path in this embodiment. A semiconductor laser array 9 is used for single-sided large-surface pumping. After being shaped by the waveguide 8, the spot size is 55mm×9mm, which is evenly irradiated on the large surface of the Nd:YAG crystal. A water-cooling unit is welded to the large surface on the other side opposite to the pump unit. In the optical path of this embodiment, the 1064nm wavelength adopts a straight-through cavity structure along the first optical path, and is oscillated and transmitted through the resonant cavity optical path composed of the first total reflection mirror 1, the slab crystal 2, the first electro-optical Q switch 3, and the first output mirror 4. Since the emission cross-section of the Nd:YAG crystal in the 1064nm band is the largest, the output power of the 1064nm laser is also relatively high. In this embodiment, the 1064nm wavelength light has 4 complete oscillation cycles in the slab crystal 2; the 1319nm laser propagates along the second optical path, through the second total reflection mirror 5, the slab crystal 2, the second electro-optical Q switch 6, and the second output mirror 7. The 1319nm laser is incident on the Nd:YAG crystal at an angle of 46.6° to the slab incident surface, oscillates along the Y axis in the Nd:YAG crystal, and propagates along the Z axis, with 8 complete oscillation cycles.
[0063] Among them, in the Nd:YAG crystal, the oscillation period of the 1319nm wavelength is twice the period of the 1064nm wavelength, and the output power is also improved, further reducing the power difference of the dual-wavelength output power, achieving the purpose of controlling and adjusting the output power ratio of the 1064nm / 1319nm dual-wavelength laser and controlling and adjusting the thresholds of the 1064nm / 1319nm laser to be equal.
[0064] Example 2
[0065] See attached Figure 2The present invention provides a dual-wavelength slab laser. The slab crystal 2 is pumped on both sides by two semiconductor laser arrays 9. After being shaped by the waveguide 8, the spot size is 9mm×1.5mm, which is evenly irradiated on the side of the slab crystal 2. This method has high pumping power density and long absorption distance of double-sided side pumping light, effectively reducing the influence of temperature gradient on the slab crystal, and the output laser beam quality is better. This solution welds water-cooling heat dissipation units on the two major surfaces of the slab crystal for heat dissipation, and the rest is referred to Example 1.
[0066] Example 3
[0067] See attached Figure 3-4 The present invention provides a dual-wavelength slab laser, wherein the slab crystal 2 is a Nd:YAG trapezoidal crystal with a doping concentration of 1% and a bottom angle of 29.2°. The length of the slab crystal 2 satisfies that the dual-wavelength light propagates in the crystal in an integer multiple period, and the heat dissipation of the slab crystal 2 is performed by water cooling. The first electro-optical Q switch 3 and the second electro-optical Q switch 6 are combined into one electro-optical Q switch, and the electro-optical Q switch uses a LiNbO3 crystal, whose transmission wavelengths include 1064nm and 1319nm. Its absorption coefficient for the 1319nm band is much smaller than that of the KD2PO4 crystal. After coating, its transmittance in the 1319nm band is higher than 98%, and its insertion loss does not exceed 1%, which is more conducive to the oscillation of the 1319nm laser and compatible with the 1064nm output. The full reflection mirror and the output mirror can be subjected to dual-wavelength coating to make 1064 and 1319nm oscillate in the same path and output simultaneously. For other parts, refer to Example 1.
[0068] Example 4
[0069] See attached Figure 5 The present invention provides a dual-wavelength slab laser. The slab crystal 2 is a Nd:YAG trapezoidal crystal with a doping concentration of 1% and a bottom angle of 29.2°. The length of the slab crystal 2 satisfies that the dual-wavelength light propagates in the crystal in an integer multiple period. The slab crystal heat dissipation adopts a water cooling method. The first electro-optical Q switch 3 and the second electro-optical Q switch 6 are combined into one electro-optical Q switch. The electro-optical Q switch adopts LiNbO3 crystal, whose transmission wavelength includes 1064nm and 1319nm. The absorption coefficient of the 1319nm band is much smaller than that of the KD2PO4 crystal. After coating, its transmittance in the 1319nm band is higher than 98%, and its insertion loss does not exceed 1%, which is more conducive to the oscillation of the 1319nm laser and compatible with the 1064nm output. The first total reflection mirror 1 is coated with 0°HR@1064nm, the first output mirror 4 is coated with a wavelength of T=55%@1064nm, the second total reflection mirror 5 is coated with 0°HR@1319nm, and the second output mirror 7 is coated with a wavelength of T=15%@1319nm&AR@1064nm. The 1064nm and 1319nm laser wavelengths of this solution are different, which is conducive to adjusting the power of the two wavelength output lasers separately.
