The invention discloses a novel orthogonal-polarization dual-
wavelength laser which belongs to a novel
laser and is a dual-
wavelength continuous pulse
laser or a dual-
wavelength repetition-rate pulse laser realizing mutual orthogonality of a horizontal polarized wavelength 1 and a vertical polarized wavelength 2 in polarization directions by adopting an anisotropic
neodymium-doped laser
crystal with a multichannel transition property. The laser device comprises the anisotropic
neodymium-doped laser
crystal, such as Nd:YAlO3, Nd:YVO4, Nd:YLF or Nd:GdVO4 and other crystals, a pumping
system and an optical
resonant cavity, wherein the pumping
system is used for pumping the laser
crystal to enable active ions (Nd<3+> ions) in the laser crystal to form distribution for
population inversion; the optical
resonant cavity is used for the resonation of dual-wavelength
radiation of the horizontal polarized wavelength 1 and the vertical polarized wavelength 2 of the active ions in transmission emission; and finally, orthogonal-polarization dual-wavelength laser of the horizontal polarized wavelength 1 and the vertical polarized wavelength 2 are simultaneously outputted in the same light path both by the same output
coupling mirror. The orthogonal-polarization dual-wavelength laser provides a novel
laser source and a novel technical approach to acquisition of high-power, high-coherence or difference-frequency (
THz radiation waves) laser, can broaden the application of dual-wavelength laser, and has a broad application prospect and use values in the fields of non-
linearity frequency conversion,
fiber-optic communication and the like.
