Direct numerical simulation of quasi-three-level passive Q-switched laser

The Runge-Kutta method is used to solve numerically the rate equations of quasi-three-level passive Q-switched laser directly without any approximate treatment of these differential equations. The 946 nm self-Q-switched Cr,Nd:YAG laser is chosen for example to describe the details. The time-dependence of intra-cavity photon density is obtained and its detailed real-time changing process is reproduced in numerical solution. The curves of laser output parameters such as average output power, pulse width, repetition rate, pulse energy and peak power changing with different cavity conditions such as pump power, output coupler reflectivity, Cr,Nd:YAG crystal length, Nd³⁺ ion and Cr⁴⁺ ion concentrations are simulated according to direct numerical solution rather than analytical expressions. This direct numerical simulation method can be widely used to describe and optimize the quasi-three-level passive Q-switched laser theoretically.     

LD端面泵浦Cr~4∶YAG被动调Q激光器输出特性研究

对激光二极管端面泵浦Cr4+∶YAG被动调Q Nd∶YAG激光器输出特性进行了实验研究.实验研究发现,激光器输出功率及脉冲重复频率随谐振腔长度增大而增大.为解释这一实验现象,测量了泵浦光斑在激光晶体内尺寸,同时计算了激光晶体及Cr4+∶YAG晶体内的基模激光光斑半径随谐振腔长度变化.分析结果表明:激光晶体内泵浦光斑尺寸远小于激光晶体内基模光斑半径,腔模间交叠效率较低;当腔长增加时,激光晶体内的基模激光光斑减小,腔模间交叠效率增加,从而导致输出功率及脉冲重复频率随腔长增加而增加;另外,Cr4+∶YAG晶体内光斑半径也随谐振腔长度减小,引起Cr4+∶YAG晶体漂白时间缩短,导致脉冲重复频率随腔长增加而增加.
