端面抽运板条介质抽运光束不均匀性及改善方法研究

 基于Zemax软件下的非序列模式(non-sequential mode)光线追迹法,分别模拟复合结构板条介质抽运端面和掺杂介质区工作端面上的光强度分布。由追迹结果可知,经过整形,在抽运面强度分布均匀的抽运光束经过非掺杂介质区传播到掺杂介质工作端面后光束分布均匀性大大降低。研究表明复合结构板条介质中非掺杂介质区影响了抽运光束,即抽运光在非掺杂介质区传播过程中发生全内反射,导致部分光束在实际工作端面的部分区域发生叠加,从而致使实际工作端面抽运光束分布不均匀。最后,依据平面波导匀化理论,从改变非掺杂介质区长度和入射光束发散角大小角度出发,提出改善抽运光束均匀性的思路,并进行了模拟验证。     

Diode-side-pumped AO Q-switched Tm,Ho:LuLF laser

A diode-side-pumped Tm,Ho:LuLiF laser at 2-m wavelength obtained in a ring resonator and its amplification experiment are reported. At the maximum pump energy of 4.7 J available for the oscillator,the output energy per pulse for the oscillator decreases from 904 to 483 mJ in free running mode,and decreases from 106 to 68 mJ in Q-switched mode,with an increase of pump pulse repetition rate from 1 to 5 Hz. When considering the amplifier,99-mJ Q-switched output energy is achieved at 5-Hz repetition rate.     

End-pumped all solid-state high repetition rate Tm,Ho:LuLF laser

The characteristics of diode end-pumped Tm,Ho:LuLiF for continuous wave (CW) running and high pulse repetition frequency (PRF) Q-switched operation are illustrated. In the CW mode, 950-mW output power with a slope efficiency of 24% is obtained. In the Q-switched mode, output energy of 78 μJ under 10 kHz with a slope efficiency of 23% is achieved. The pulse stability, pulse width as a function of pump intensity, and spectral characteristics are also analyzed.
