Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0023] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not intended to imply relative importance.
[0024] Alexandrite crystal pumping refers to the technique of pumping an Alexandrite crystal using various visible light sources (such as red LDs, green lasers, yellow lasers, and blue LDs) to achieve tunable laser output. Alexandrite crystals have a wide absorption band (400–700 nm) and a wide emission band (700–900 nm), supporting various pumping methods from red to blue light, making them suitable for high-power, high-efficiency, tunable laser systems.
[0025] There are many methods for pumping sapphire crystals, because sapphire crystals have a wide absorption band, and can absorb pump light in the range of 400-700nm. The commonly used pumping methods are: (1) Flash lamp pumping. Industrial processing and commercial medical sapphire lasers mostly use flash lamp pumping. This technology is relatively mature, but due to its imperfect absorption, the overall conversion efficiency of the laser is low, and the heat generation of the laser is also quite serious. (2) 635 / 680nm red LD pumping. Using LD to pump sapphire crystals can greatly improve the overall efficiency of the laser and realize the miniaturization of the laser. However, high-power 635 and 680nm LDs are not common at present, which greatly limits the output power of sapphire lasers. Moreover, the price of LDs in this band is also relatively expensive. (3) Blue-green laser pumping. Since emerald's absorption band covers the entire visible light spectrum, this crystal can be pumped by common visible light lasers such as 488nm argon ion lasers, copper vapor lasers, and 532nm green lasers. However, there is a large quantum defect between the pump light and the output light under this pumping method, which makes the thermal load of the laser more severe, thus affecting the output characteristics such as beam quality.
[0026] Self-frequency doubling laser crystals are created by doping nonlinear optical crystals with activating ions (usually Nd3+ or Yb3+), enabling them to simultaneously perform laser emission and nonlinear optical frequency doubling functions, generating fundamental infrared light while doubling its frequency.
[0027] Typical self-frequency doubling crystals include neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum tetraborate (NYAB), ytterbium-doped ytterbium-doped ytterbium tetraborate (Yb:YAB), and neodymium or ytterbium-doped calcium borate (Nd / Yb:RECOB).
[0028] Laser frequency doubling refers to the process of generating laser light with half the wavelength and double the frequency by passing it through a frequency doubling crystal (such as LBO, BBO, etc.). Emerald lasers have a wavelength tuning range of 701~858 nm. Tunable ultraviolet and deep ultraviolet lasers can be obtained through single or double frequency doubling, such as deep ultraviolet lasers with high coherence and high beam quality at wavelengths of 372 nm (744 nm second harmonic), 248 nm (744 nm third harmonic), and 193 nm (772 nm fourth harmonic).
[0029] This application proposes a multi-wavelength output tunable laser to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Considering that sapphire exhibits a strong broad absorption peak centered at 590nm along the E / / b axis, this application provides a tunable sapphire laser pumped by a 594nm yellow light laser output from a self-frequency-doubling crystal near the 594nm wavelength. By frequency doubling the output tunable laser, simultaneous output of multiple wavelengths can be achieved.

[0033] For example, in some embodiments of this application, the first reflector 9 forms a 45° angle with the propagation direction of the relative pump source optical path, and the transmittance of the first reflector 9 is 67%. The second reflector 19 forms a 45° angle with the propagation direction of the reflective optical fiber of the first reflector 9, and the transmittance of the second reflector 19 is 50%. The third reflector 29 forms a 45° angle with the propagation direction of the reflective optical fiber of the second reflector 19, and the third reflector 29 is a total reflection mirror.

Among them, the first optical path unit is set on the transmission optical path of the first reflector 9, the second optical path unit is set on the isolated optical path of the second reflector 19, and the third optical path unit is set on the reflection optical path of the third reflector 29.

The number of frequency doubling units can be set as needed. Each frequency doubling unit includes a first frequency doubling crystal and a second frequency doubling crystal.

[0039] The following describes the implementation structure of the laser provided in this application using a specific optical path configuration.
[0040] The 975nm laser diode pump source 4 emits pump light, which is transmitted through the power transmission fiber 5 and focused by the coupling lens group 6 to pump the self-frequency doubling crystal 5; the self-frequency doubling crystal 5 is a Yb:YCOB crystal with a crystal size of 3×3×10mm. 3 The doping concentration is selected as 30%. Both ends of the self-frequency doubling crystal 5 are polished. On the light-transmitting surface near the coupling lens group, an anti-reflection coating for the 975nm pump light emitted by the laser diode, and a total reflection coating for the 1188nm laser generated by the self-frequency doubling crystal 5, and the 594nm yellow laser generated by frequency doubling are deposited. On the light-transmitting surface away from the coupling lens group, a total reflection coating for the 1188nm laser generated by the self-frequency doubling crystal 5 absorbing the pump light output from the laser diode, and an anti-reflection coating for the 594nm yellow laser generated by frequency doubling are deposited. It is then wrapped with an indium sheet and placed in a heat sink, with the operating temperature controlled by a cooling circulating water system.
[0041] The self-frequency doubling crystal 5 absorbs 975nm pump light to form population inversion. Under the feedback of the resonance formed by the films at both ends of the self-frequency doubling crystal 5, 1188nm fundamental frequency light is generated. The 1188nm fundamental frequency light is frequency doubled by the nonlinear effect of the self-frequency doubling crystal 5 itself to generate 594nm yellow laser light.
[0042] A 594nm wavelength yellow laser is generated by frequency doubling. 33% of the total 594nm laser energy is incident on the first optical path after passing through the first reflector 99. After reflection by the first reflector 99, 67% of the total 594nm laser energy is incident on the second reflector 19. After reflection by the second reflector 19, 33% of the total 594nm laser energy is incident on the second optical path. After passing through the second reflector 19, 33% of the total 594nm laser energy is incident on the 45-degree total reflection mirror 29. After reflection by the 45-degree total reflection mirror 29, 34% of the total 594nm laser energy is incident on the third optical path.

The emerald crystal 12 in the first optical path 1 is cut with Brewster angle and has a crystal size of 4×4×15mm. 3 After absorbing 594nm yellow laser light, population inversion occurs. As the pump energy increases, the gain exceeds the loss, thus generating spontaneous emission photons. The emerald resonator adopts a four-mirror ring cavity type. The first emerald laser reflecting mirror 11 and the second emerald laser reflecting mirror 13 in the first optical path 1 are concave mirrors with a radius of curvature of 100mm, and the concave surfaces are coated with a 700-860nm high-reflection film.

The second frequency-doubling crystal... The two light-transmitting surfaces of 18 are coated with anti-reflection films for the emerald laser output from the first optical path 1, as well as its frequency-doubled and third-doubled lasers.
