腔镜变形对平凹稳腔激光振荡模式影响的数值研究

 用Fox-Li迭代法研究了激光谐振腔镜面变形对激光振荡模式的影响, 给出了几种镜面变形条件下的激光谐振腔自再现模,即镜面上光场振幅和位相分布的模拟结果。对平凹稳定腔,为获得严格的基模激光振荡,应将这种镜面变形控制在1/20波长范围内;若镜面变形超过1/10波长,则该谐振腔不存在严格的基模自再现模。同时,高功率激光腔镜的边缘冷却方式将造成较大的镜面形状变化,从而影响激光光束质量。     

抽运光对激光束空间分布影响程度的估算方法研究

为便于评价两种光场空间分布之间的偏离程度，引入一个数学参数δ进行研究。将该参数应用到谐振腔内分析了抽运光空间分布对基模振荡光光束质量的影响。这种影响主要表现为：若抽运光在激光介质中引起非均匀的增益分布，基模振荡光将偏离高斯分布。利用δ参数对这种影响的程度进行了定量估算。定量研究表明：δ参数可以直观地反映泵浦光分布对激光器光束质量的影响程度，而且在激光器的设计中δ参数的大小可衡量泵浦光分布的优劣。对于端面泵浦二极管泵浦固体激光器（DPL），稳恒运转下最理想的抽运光分布形式是高斯型抽运光，其半径等于谐振腔的基模高斯振荡光半径。

半导体制冷对镜面热变形影响的数值研究

为了减小激光辐照下反射镜镜面的热变形问题,建立了反射镜热变形的有限元分析模型。对不同制冷功率时的镜面热变形进行分析,然后针对吸收功率为50 W、光斑半径为镜体半径1/3时的TEM00模高斯光束对镜体结构进行优化,对优化后的反射镜在不同参数的TEM00模高斯光束和TEM10、TEM11模厄米特-高斯光束辐照下的热变形进行了分析。仿真结果表明,当施加滞后于激光辐照且与吸收功率近似大小的制冷时,有利于减小镜面热变形,且镜体最终会趋于相对稳定的热平衡状态。此外,当镜体背部切去一厚度为1.4 mm、内径为25 mm的环状区域时,热变形峰谷(PV)值仅为0.005μm;同时,优化后的镜体也可在一定程度上减小其他参数激光辐照下的镜面热变形的PV值。对于TEM00模高斯光束和TEM10、TEM11模厄米特-高斯光束,均满足光学系统对热变形的要求。

Generation of entangled TEM_(01) modes with periodically poled KTiOPO_4 crystal

Spatial quantum optics based on the high-order transverse mode is important for the super-resolution measurement and quantum image beyond the shot noise level. Quantum entanglement of the transverse plane Hermite–Gauss TEM_(01) mode has been demonstrated experimentally in this paper. Two squeezed TEM_(01) modes, which are generated by a pair of degenerate optical parametric amplifiers(DOPA) with the nonlinear crystals of periodically poled KTi OPO_4, have been combined to produce TEM_(01) mode entanglement using a beam splitter. The 1.5 dB for the sum of amplitude and 1.2 dB for the difference of phase below shot-noise level is achieved with the measurement system of a Bell state detection.     

Coaxial cavity gyrotron with dual RF beam output

A 140-GHz, 1.5-MW, TE_28,16-coaxial cavity gyrotron with a dual RF beam output has been designed, built, and tested. For the first time, the generated RF power has been split into two parts and coupled out through two RF output windows in order to reduce the power loading in the windows. The quasioptical output system is based on a two-step mode conversion scheme. First, the cavity mode TE_-28,16 is converted into its degenerate whispering gallery mode TE_+76,2 using a rippled-wall mode converter. Then, this mode is transformed into two TEM₀₀ output wave beams. A maximum rf output power of about 950 kW with an output efficiency of 20% has been measured. According to numerical calculations, an rf power above 1.5 MW is expected to be generated in the cavity. Even if all losses are taken into account, a discrepancy between experiment and calculations remains. The power deficit seems to be partly caused by the influence of the stray radiation captured inside the tube. However, the two main reasons are probably an incomplete mode conversion from TE_-28,16 to TE_+76,2 and a large energy spread of the electron beam due to trapped electrons. An increased amount of captured stray radiation resulted in a reduced stability of operation. A single-stage depressed collector was used successfully, increasing the RF output efficiency from 20% to 29%

A 658-W VCSEL-pumped rod laser module with 52.6% optical efficiency

A high-efficiency and high-power vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) side-pumped rod Nd:YAG laser with temperature adaptability are demonstrated. The VCSEL side-pumped laser module is designed and optimized. Five VCSEL arrays are symmetrically located around the laser rod and a large size diffused reflection chamber is designed to ensure a uniform pump distribution. Furthermore, the absorbed pump power distribution of the rod is simulated to verify the uniformity of the pump absorption. Finally, a proof-of-principle experiment is performed in short linear cavity laser with single laser module. A continuous-wave output power of 658 W at 1064 nm is obtained, the corresponding optical-to-optical efficiency is 52.6%, and the power variations are ±0.7% over 400 s and ±3.1% over the temperature range from 16 ℃ to 26 ℃. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest output power and the highest optical-to-optical efficiency ever reported for VCSEL pumped solid-state lasers. By inserting a telescopic module into the cavity and optimizing the TEM₀₀ mode volume, the average beam quality is measured to be M²=1.34 under an output power of 102 W. The experimental results reveal that such a high power rod laser module with temperature stability is appropriate or field applications.     

Correction of walk-off-induced wavefront distortion for continuous-wave laser

We theoretically and experimentally investigate the wave front distortion in critically phase-matched continuous-wave (CW) second harmonic generation (SHG). Due to the walk-off effect in the nonlinear crystal, the generated second harmonic is extremely elliptical and quite non-Gaussian, which causes a very low matching and coupling efficiency in experiment. Cylindrical lenses and walk-off compensating crystals are adopted to correct distorted wave fronts, and obtain a good TEM₀₀ mode efficiently. Theoretically, we simulate the correction effect of 266-nm laser generated with SHG. The experiment results accord well with the theoretical simulation and an above 80% TEM₀₀ component is obtained for 266-nm continuous-wave laser with a 4.8°-walk-off angle in beta barium borate (BBO) crystal.     

A short pulse mode-locked Nd-glass laser

Influence of pump beam size on laser diode end-pumped solid state lasers

Based on space-dependent rate equation, the lowest threshold input power for diode end-pumped solid state lasers is obtained for pump spot size w_p → 0. However, when the pump beam waist is decreased, the far-field half-angle increases due to the same beam quality, which will influence the match between the pump volume and mode volume. Most importantly, when the pump beam waist is decreased, the temperature and temperature gradient in the laser rod would be very high due to the resulting heat, which would cause material distortion, variation of refractive index, instability of laser resonator etc. We analyze the temperature distributions with different pump beam sizes and conclude that the condition w_p ≈ w₀ (the radius of the laser beam at the laser rod) is often taken as a rough guide to the optimum case.
