Abstract
Description
[0001] Methodology Area
[0002] The invention relates to the field of Raman lasers, and in particular to a narrow linewidth tunable Raman laser and an emission method.
[0003] Background Methods
[0004] Visible light lasers with narrow linewidth and tunable wavelength have broad application prospects in the fields of laser radar, metrology and quantum physics. At present, the methods for obtaining tunable visible light bands include optical parametric oscillation (OPO) and rare earth ion radiation. However, the output of OPO scheme is often accompanied by line width broadening and beam deterioration. The wavelength output of rare earth ion radiation is limited by the fluorescence spectrum of rare earth ions themselves, and it is difficult to achieve a larger range of wavelength expansion. With the development of nonlinear technology, the stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) effect caused by the molecular vibration of Raman media has become an important means to achieve large laser frequency conversion. In this section, SRS-based Raman lasers have many advantages: Raman frequency shift can be used to achieve laser output of wavelengths with vacant emission cross sections of rare earth ions. Currently, people have used Raman conversion to achieve output from deep ultraviolet to mid-wave infrared; Raman frequency shift is only related to the medium lattice vibration and has nothing to do with the frequency of the pump light. Therefore, tuning the pump light frequency can obtain Raman light with the same frequency tuning range; Raman gain is proportional to the pump light intensity, there is no saturation effect or spatial hole burning effect, and the Raman laser output power directly depends on the pump light power, which can achieve energy conversion close to the quantum efficiency limit and output with narrow linewidth.
[0005] At present, researchers have achieved Raman laser output through straight cavity and ring cavity. However, when operating at high power, the Raman medium in the resonant cavity absorbs the residual pump light and produces a thermal effect, which greatly interferes with the stability of the resonant cavity. At the same time, the Stokes return light cannot be separated from the pump light, causing it to return directly to the position of the pump light source, which is easy to damage it and affect its stability. Therefore, it greatly limits the power improvement and application of Raman lasers. In addition, there is currently an important demand for visible light Raman lasers with adjustable narrow linewidth wavelength range for space environment detection, but it is difficult to achieve narrow linewidth and visible light wavelength adjustment at the same time based on nonlinear frequency conversion of traditional solid-state lasers.

[0050] The emission method of the narrow linewidth tunable Raman laser comprises the following steps:
[0051] S1: The pump source emits pump light, which is coupled through a half-wave plate and a focusing lens;
[0052] S2: The coupled pump light passes through the input mirror and enters the diamond crystal. The diamond crystal converts the pump light into a Stokes light signal using the SRS effect.
