Experiment Research on a Highly Stable LD-pumped Solid State Laser

In high power laser systems, the stability of the seed laser is vitally important. This paper presents the work on the design and manufacture of a highly stable LD pumped solid state seed laser which has the advantages of being all solid state, compact, easy to manufacture and low cost. The laser was composed of two parts. One was an LD pumped 0.5 mm thin Nd: YLF laser system in which the instability was around±6% (3σ). The other was a close-looped laser power control system using external cavity power feedback. Using an electro-optic modulator, a 1×2 optical fiber splitter and a signal processing circuit, we successfully realized the highly stable LD pumped Nd: YLF laser in which the instability of laser output power was lower than±0.2 %/hour (3σ). A digital PID (Proportion, Integration and Differentiation) control method was used with a control frequency of 40 kHz. The 3 mW of highly stable laser power through the optical fiber was obtained.     

Experiment Study of LD Pumped Solid State of Dual-Frequency Laser

Dual-frequency laser resulting from fine detuning twisted-mode cavity is discussed in this paper. Two measurement systems, a Fabry-Perot etalon and a confocal spherical interferometer, are adopted. The former reflects directly the interferogram of multimode and single mode. The latter can judge accurately the mode spectrum of single frequency and dual-frequency laser. Moreover, the experimental results provide the relationship between frequency difference and the angle of the relative rotation of the two quarter-wave plates and agree well with the theoretical analyses. The range of difference frequency is from 50 MHz to 1 GHz.

Study on Square Wave Pulsewidth-variable Solid State Laser

Based on the rate equation of laser oscillation, we study the possibility of square wave output of a solid state laser in temporal domain. By means of the smooth cavity dumping, the reduction of output loss compensates the photon decrease in cavity. In experiment, we use two sets of avalanche transistor chains to control the functional voltage applied on the Pockels cell for getting uniform and pulsewidth-variable square wave laser pulse.     

A Tunable External Cavity Laser Diode Possessing a Stable Wavelength

In this work we describe a simple external-cavity laser diode equipped with a feedback control system, in which a high-resolution position-sensitive detector detects the slight misalignment of the light within the cavity. Our system not only provides a stable wavelength that can be tuned within a maximum scanning range of 1.87 nm, but also allows for faster scanning, through precise control of the reflection angle within the cavity. The simultaneous controls on the rotation-angle of the external mirror and the injection current enabled us to realize continuous wavelength-tuning.

半导体激光泵浦复合晶体固体激光器的热效应

为了验证复合晶体使用到半导体泵浦的固体激光器中与非复合晶体的区别,提高半导体泵浦的固体激光器的工作效率,开展了半导体激光泵浦YAP/Tm∶YAP复合晶体固体激光器的热效应的验证实验。采用有限元分析法,模拟了晶体温度及热应力的分布,并分析了热透镜长度的变化情况。结果发现,与非复合晶体相比,复合晶体的温度和热应力均有不同程度的下降,复合晶体工作时的最高温度降至其80%,热应力降至其70%。同时也验证了热透镜焦距不随非掺杂晶体长度的增大而改变,这也意味着复合晶体不能有效提高复合激光的光束质量,但是可以确保输出激光光束质量的稳定性。因此可以证实,使用复合晶体能够有效改善激光器的温度和力学特性,但不能优化固体激光器的光束质量。
