The invention discloses a
supercontinuum variable frequency
laser based on PPLN crystals. The
laser is composed of a near
infrared supercontinuum pumping source, a lens group, PPLN crystals, a
temperature control system, a precision adjusting frame and an off-axis
parabolic reflector; the lens group is a collimation focusing
system formed by a first lens and a second lens; the output end of the near
infrared supercontinuum pumping source is located at the focus of the incident surface of the first lens; the PPLN crystals are located in the
temperature control system, and the incident end faceis located at the focus of the incident surface of the second lens; the focus of the off-axis
parabolic reflector is located at the focus of the incident surface of the second lens, and a center smallhole is coaxial with the output end of the near
infrared supercontinuum pumping source, the center of the first lens, the center of the second lens and the centers of the PPLN crystals. According tothe
laser, output optical spectrum simultaneously covering visible light, near infrared and
middle infrared wave ranges can be achieved by using the near infrared supercontinuum pumping source, the
double frequency, sum frequency and difference frequency effects among the PPLN crystals, self-phase position modulation and a
stimulated Raman scattering effect. The structure of the laser is compact and the adjustment is simple.
