报道了一种单脉冲输出时间精确可控的单纵模Nd:YAG激光器.该激光器谐振腔采用自滤波非稳腔结构得到TEM_(00)模,利用磷酸钛氧铷电光晶体作为相位调制器来扫描腔长,通过种子注入的扫描-保持-触发技术锁定腔模,得到稳定的单脉冲输出时间精确可控的单纵模输出.该1064 nm激光器输出脉冲能量为50 mJ,脉冲建立时间48 ns,单脉冲输出时间抖动小于1%.用波长计WS7测量脉冲的波长和线宽,测量结果显示,波长计干涉仪干涉条纹清晰光滑,是典型的多光束干涉波形,显示波长为1064.40416 nm,线宽0.5 pm (波长计的极限分辨率).同时以0.1 Hz的工作频率连续记录了1700发脉冲的波长,波长抖动小于0.1 pm (峰峰值).     

Development of an injection-seeded single-frequency laser by using the phase modulated technique

An injection-seeded single-frequency Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is accomplished by using a phase modulated rampfire technique. A RbTiOPO_4(RTP) electro-optic crystal is selected for effective optical path length modulation of the slave self-filtering unstable resonator. This single-frequency laser is capable of producing 50 m J pulse energy at 1 Hz repetition rate with a pulse width of 16 ns. The standard deviation of laser pulse intensity for consecutive 100 shots from the mean pulse intensity is less than 1.05%. A spectral linewidth of less than 0.5 pm with a frequency jitter of about 14 fm over30 min is obtained.
