[0052] The working principle of the single-layer multi-pass pumping optical system of the pump laser is as follows:

[0053] The shaped and homogenized pump laser is incident on the reflective surface of the parabolic reflector 3 through the light inlet 12, and then incident on the reflective surface of the laser head 2 through the light hole 11 of the reflector mounting frame 1 after being reflected by the parabolic reflector 3, and then reflected by the laser head 2 to the reflective surface of the parabolic reflector 3, and then reflected by the parabolic reflector 3 to the reflective surface of the reflector B1, and then reflected by the reflector B1 to the reflective surface of the reflector A1, completing the first absorption of the pump laser by the laser head 2; the reflector A1 receives the pump laser The pump laser is reflected to the reflecting surface of parabolic reflector 3, and then reflected to the reflecting surface of laser head 2 by parabolic reflector 3, and then reflected to the reflecting surface of parabolic reflector 3 by laser head 2, and then reflected to the reflecting surface of reflector B2 by parabolic reflector 3, and then reflected to the reflecting surface of reflector A2 by reflector B2, thus completing the second absorption of pump laser by laser head 2; reflector A2 reflects the received pump laser to the reflecting surface of parabolic reflector 3, and then reflects to the laser head by parabolic reflector 3. 2, then reflected by laser head 2 to the reflecting surface of parabolic reflector 3, then reflected by parabolic reflector 3 to the reflecting surface of reflector B3, then reflected by reflector B3 to the reflecting surface of reflector A3, completing the third-pass absorption of pump laser by laser head 2; reflector A3 reflects the received pump laser to the reflecting surface of parabolic reflector 3, then reflected by parabolic reflector 3 to the reflecting surface of laser head 2, then reflected by laser head 2 to the reflecting surface of parabolic reflector 3, then reflected by parabolic reflector The plane reflector 3 reflects to the reflective surface of the reflector B4, and then reflects to the reflective surface of the reflector A4 through the reflector B4, thus completing the fourth-pass absorption of the pump laser by the laser head 2; the reflector A4 reflects the received pump laser to the reflective surface of the parabolic reflector 3, and then reflects to the reflective surface of the laser head 2 through the parabolic reflector 3, and then reflects to the reflective surface of the parabolic reflector 3 through the laser head 2, and then reflects to the light outlet 13 through the parabolic reflector 3, thus completing the fifth-pass absorption of the pump laser by the laser head 2. Through the single-layer multi-pass pump optical system of the present invention, the laser head 2 can effectively absorb the pump laser and provide energy storage for it more efficiently.

[0054] In this embodiment, the light inlet 12 and the light outlet 13 can be used interchangeably, and the transmission path of the pump laser is reversed. The number of reflectors can be increased or decreased by multiples of 2, and accordingly, the absorption path of the laser head 2 for the pump laser will be increased or decreased.

[0068] After the shaped and homogenized pump laser is incident through the light inlet 12, it is reflected by the parabolic reflector 3, the laser head 2, the parabolic reflector 3, and the first reflector D1 in sequence and arrives at the first reflector C1, completing the first-pass absorption of the pump laser by the laser head 2; after the first reflector C1 reflects the received pump laser, it is reflected by the parabolic reflector 3, the laser head 2, the parabolic reflector 3, and the first reflector D2 in sequence and arrives at the first reflector C2, completing the second-pass absorption of the pump laser by the laser head 2; after the first reflector C2 reflects the received pump laser, it is reflected by the parabolic reflector 3, the laser head 2, the parabolic reflector 3, and the first reflector D3 in sequence and arrives at the first Reflector C3 completes the third-pass absorption of the pump laser by the laser head 2; the first reflector C3 reflects the received pump laser, which is reflected by parabolic reflector 3, laser head 2, parabolic reflector 3, and first reflector D4 in sequence before arriving at the first reflector C4, completing the fourth-pass absorption of the pump laser by the laser head 2; the first reflector C4 reflects the received pump laser, which is reflected by parabolic reflector 3, laser head 2, parabolic reflector 3, and first reflector D5 in sequence before arriving at the first reflector C5, completing the fifth-pass absorption of the pump laser by the laser head 2; the first reflector C5 reflects the received pump laser, which is reflected by parabolic reflector 3, laser head 2, After being reflected by the parabolic reflector 3 and the first reflector D6, the laser beam reaches the first reflector C6, completing the sixth absorption of the pump laser by the laser head 2; after the first reflector C6 reflects the received pump laser, it is reflected by the parabolic reflector 3, the laser head 2, the parabolic reflector 3, and the second reflector F1 in sequence and reaches the second reflector E1, completing the seventh absorption of the pump laser by the laser head 2; after the second reflector E1 reflects the received pump laser, it is reflected by the parabolic reflector 3, the laser head 2, the parabolic reflector 3, and the second reflector F2 in sequence and reaches the second reflector E2, completing the eighth absorption of the pump laser by the laser head 2; After the pump laser is reflected, it is reflected by the parabolic reflector 3, the laser head 2, the parabolic reflector 3, and the second reflector F3 in sequence before reaching the second reflector E3, completing the ninth pass absorption of the pump laser by the laser head 2; after the second reflector E3 reflects the received pump laser, it is reflected by the parabolic reflector 3, the laser head 2, the parabolic reflector 3, and the second reflector F4 in sequence before reaching the second reflector E4, completing the tenth pass absorption of the pump laser by the laser head 2; after the second reflector E4 reflects the received pump laser, it is reflected by the parabolic reflector 3, the laser head 2, and the parabolic reflector 3 in sequence before reaching the light outlet 13, completing the eleventh pass absorption of the pump laser by the laser head 2. Through the double-layer multi-pass pump optical system of the present invention, the laser head 2 can effectively absorb more passes of the pump laser and provide energy storage for it more efficiently.

[0069] In this embodiment, the light inlet 12 and the light outlet 13 can also be used interchangeably, and the transmission path of the pump laser is reversed. The number of reflectors can be increased or decreased by multiples of 2, and accordingly, the absorption path of the laser head 2 for the pump laser will be increased or decreased.

[0070] Embodiment 4

[0071] The structure of the fourth embodiment is the same as that of the third embodiment, and the only difference is that a zero-degree reflector is provided on the light outlet 13 of the second embodiment, and the transmission distance of the pump laser from the parabolic reflector 3 to the zero-degree reflector is equal to the focal length of the parabolic reflector 3, which is used to make the pump laser return along the original transmission path after being reflected by the zero-degree reflector, so that the number of absorption paths of the pump laser by the laser head 2 is increased by 1 times.

[0072] The above description is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. For ordinary professional and technical personnel in the field, the specific technical solution recorded in the above embodiment can be modified, or some of the technical features therein can be replaced by equivalents, and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solution deviate from the scope of the technical solution protected by the present invention.
