连续波抽运气体波导产生太赫兹激光的理论研究

基于速率方程理论,建立了光抽运气体波导产生太赫兹(THz)激光的能量转化模型,理论分析并求解得到抽运光吸收系数、THz小信号增益系数以及THz输出功率表达式.计算结果表明,THz输出功率随工作物质气压的升高先增加后逐渐减少,随抽运功率的增加、输出镜反射率的减小而增加;最佳工作气压随抽运功率的增大而增大;激发态粒子数以及THz光子通量随波导截面径向逐渐减小,而THz小信号增益系数逐渐增加;抽运饱和、弱抽运吸收与激发态工作物质对THz激光的吸收是限制激光转化效率提高的根源;基于该模型的计算结果与相关文献中的实验数据符合较好.     

Passively Mode-Locked Quasi-Three-Level Nd:LuVO4Laser with Semiconductor Saturable Absorber Mirror

We demonstrate a passively a Z-folded resonator. Using device, we achieve stable cw average output power under cw mode-locked Nd：LuVO4 laser operating on the quasi-three-level at 916nm with a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror （SESAM） as the passive mode-locking mode locking with 6.7ps pulse duration at repetition rate of 133 MHz and 88mW the pump power of 17.1 W.
