Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of lasers, and mainly relates to a method for developing an all-solid-state ultraviolet laser that can simultaneously generate 310nm and 355nm high-energy lasers. Background Art
[0002] Ozone, a pale blue gas with a distinctive odor, was discovered by German scientist C.F. Schonbein in the 1840s. Its active chemical properties allow it to participate in a variety of atmospheric photochemical reactions. Atmospheric ozone is typically found in the stratosphere and troposphere, with approximately 90% of ozone distributed in the stratosphere at an altitude of 10-50 km and 10% in the troposphere below 10 km. Ozone plays a vital role in human health, plant growth, climate regulation, and maintaining Earth's radiation balance. As a trace gas in the atmosphere, ozone absorbs the vast majority of short-wavelength ultraviolet rays in sunlight, protecting life on Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. It plays a vital role in the regional and global atmosphere and climate systems.
[0003] Differential absorption lidar (DIAL) is an effective active remote sensing method for detecting the vertical distribution of atmospheric ozone. Its advantages are mainly high spatial resolution and temporal resolution, and the ability to conduct real-time vertical observation and continuous long-term observation. One of the core issues in the research of differential absorption lidar technology is the use of different emission light source technology to obtain lasers of different wavelengths to detect different or the same pollutants. In order to detect stratospheric ozone, it is important to develop ultraviolet band light sources in combination with ozone absorption spectra. The present invention designs and develops an all-solid-state ultraviolet laser that can simultaneously generate 310nm and 355nm high-energy lasers in response to the needs of lidar ozone detection.
[0004] There are several main light source technologies for the development of ultraviolet differential absorption lidar light sources. The XeCl excimer laser emits 308nm laser light, but the excimer laser is inefficient, expensive, and contains toxic gases. The titanium sapphire laser is a tunable laser with a wide tuning range. It can be tuned within the range of 700-1050nm. When combined with nonlinear frequency conversion technology, the band can be extended to the ultraviolet. Raman lasers use stimulated Raman scattering technology to convert the wavelength of lasers, which can extend the laser wavelength. These technologies include gas Raman technology, liquid Raman technology, and solid Raman technology. Gas and liquid Raman technologies have disadvantages such as large equipment size, low conversion efficiency, and poor beam quality. Therefore, solid Raman technology has great development potential in wavelength conversion. Patent CN219715757U describes a method for frequency up-conversion based on stimulated Raman scattering, followed by frequency doubling to achieve dual-wavelength ultraviolet laser output of 280nm and 295nm. However, stimulated Raman scattering is inelastic, and during the scattering process, some energy is stored as heat in the Raman crystal. The absorption of pump light by the Raman crystal also generates heat, which can lead to self-focusing and thermally induced birefringence in the Raman crystal, ultimately resulting in unstable power and low efficiency of the output Raman laser. Optical parametric oscillation (OPO) technology is a mature nonlinear frequency conversion technology that, combined with frequency doubling and sum frequency techniques, can flexibly extend the laser wavelength into the ultraviolet to meet various detection needs. Patent CN 111725695A describes a method for generating a 1064nm Nd:YAG Q-switched laser as a pump source to pump an optical parametric oscillator (OPO). This method also uses frequency doubling and tripling techniques to generate a 355nm laser. This 355nm laser is then summed with the OPO output signal light to achieve a 289nm / 299nm laser output. However, due to the excessive nonlinear frequency conversion involved in this process, the overall conversion efficiency is low, and the laser wavelengths generated are at 289nm and 299nm, which fails to address the large ozone absorption cross-section. Patent CN 116565681A describes a method for generating a 193nm vacuum ultraviolet laser output. This scheme uses a 355nm laser generated by tripling the fundamental frequency of a 1064nm pulse to pump an OPO to generate a 472nm signal light. The resulting frequency-doubled light is then summed with the 1064nm fundamental frequency light to produce the vacuum ultraviolet output. This method is used to generate vacuum ultraviolet light output between 100-200nm and is not suitable for ozone detection.
[0005] Currently, there are no reports of solid-state gain media that can directly generate ultraviolet laser light. Therefore, the main method for generating ultraviolet laser light currently relies on nonlinear harmonic conversion technology. Among the development of ultraviolet light sources using nonlinear harmonic conversion technology, there are no reports of developing laser sources at 310nm. To meet the needs of spaceborne applications, this invention uses optical parametric oscillation technology combined with frequency doubling and sum frequency technology to frequency convert 1064nm fundamental frequency light, ultimately achieving 310nm and 355nm high-power pulsed laser output, addressing the need for a transmitting light source for lidar ozone detection. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention proposes to design an all-solid-state ultraviolet laser that can simultaneously generate 310nm and 355nm high-energy lasers, providing a high-energy, high-beam-quality ultraviolet light source for lidar ozone detection.
[0007] The technical solution of the present invention is:
[0008] A fully solid-state ultraviolet laser that simultaneously generates 310nm and 355nm high-energy lasers. The present invention also provides a method for constructing the above-mentioned laser structure, which is characterized in that it includes three parts: a fundamental frequency laser and its frequency doubling module, an optical parametric oscillator intracavity sum frequency module, and a sum frequency module: a 1064nm single-frequency pulse laser is amplified and frequency-doubled to generate a 532nm pulse laser, a 532nm pulse laser is pumped by an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) to generate a 743nm signal light, and the OPO cavity adopts an intracavity sum frequency four-crystal non-planar image rotating ring cavity design. By rotating the image, the birefringence walk-off of the light beam in the crystal is expanded from one dimension to two lateral directions. The spatial coherence of the light beam is increased through multiple cycles of oscillation in the cavity. At the same time, four crystals are used to perform parameter conversion and sum frequency conversion on the four axes of the optical parametric oscillator, shortening the cavity length while lowering the threshold, improving the beam quality and conversion efficiency of the 310nm sum frequency light output by the OPO. The remaining 532nm pulsed laser pump light and the remaining 1064nm pulsed laser are used to generate 355nm pulsed laser through the sum frequency module. The specific structure is as follows:
[0009] The 1064nm single-frequency pulse seed laser is amplified by the laser amplification module to form a 1064nm fundamental frequency laser. After the polarization state of the 1064nm fundamental frequency laser is adjusted by the first half-wave plate, the frequency is converted by the frequency doubling crystal. A portion of the 1064nm fundamental frequency laser is converted into a 532nm frequency-doubled laser, which is reflected by the first reflector into the first beam splitter. The remaining 1064nm fundamental frequency laser in the frequency doubling process is reflected and output by the first beam splitter.

After being reflected by the first beam combiner, it is combined with the 1064nm fundamental frequency laser and output into the sum frequency module.
[0012] The sum frequency module receives the remaining 1064nm fundamental frequency laser and the remaining parametric pump light and transmits them to the third sum frequency crystal and the fourth sum frequency crystal for frequency conversion.
