技术领域Technical field

本发明涉及属于非线性光学领域,具体讲,涉及基于内腔自倍频的可调谐蓝光辐射源及实现方法。The invention relates to the field of nonlinear optics, specifically, to a tunable blue light radiation source based on intracavity self-frequency doubling and an implementation method.

背景技术Background technique

蓝光是指波长处于400-480nm之间的电磁波。蓝光凭借其独特物理性质,在诸多实用领域有着巨大的应用潜力。首先,蓝光作为三原色之一,高亮度蓝色激光可以有效提高彩色显示的色彩范围和亮度,具有提高彩色显示效果的能力;其次,与红光相比蓝光具有更短的波长,因此其具有衍射效应小、分辨率高、聚焦光斑尺寸小等特点,这些特点使得其在高密度光存储以及数字视频技术等领域中可以将信息容量提高近一个数量级;蓝色激光是海洋传输的窗口,衰减系数小、抗干扰能力强,适用于水下通信以及感知海洋信息;另外,蓝色激光可用于捕获和阻尼铯原子的热振动,消除热振动引起的多普勒展宽,为光谱线的精确测定提供保证;此外,蓝色激光在医学检测以及激光娱乐等领域也有重要应用。蓝色激光在以上领域具有巨大的应有优势,但是与成熟的532nm绿色激光技术相比,蓝色激光缺乏有效获得方式,应用成本较高。Blue light refers to electromagnetic waves with wavelengths between 400-480nm. With its unique physical properties, blue light has huge application potential in many practical fields. First of all, blue light is one of the three primary colors. High-brightness blue laser can effectively improve the color range and brightness of color displays, and has the ability to improve color display effects; secondly, blue light has a shorter wavelength than red light, so it has diffraction It has the characteristics of small effect, high resolution, small focused spot size, etc. These characteristics allow it to increase the information capacity by nearly an order of magnitude in the fields of high-density optical storage and digital video technology; blue laser is the window for ocean transmission, and the attenuation coefficient Small, strong anti-interference ability, suitable for underwater communication and sensing ocean information; in addition, blue laser can be used to capture and dampen the thermal vibration of cesium atoms, eliminate Doppler broadening caused by thermal vibration, and provide accurate measurement of spectral lines Guaranteed; in addition, blue laser also has important applications in fields such as medical testing and laser entertainment. Blue laser has huge advantages in the above fields, but compared with the mature 532nm green laser technology, blue laser lacks effective acquisition methods and its application cost is high.

目前,获得全固态蓝色激光的主要手段主要包括:(1)利用GaN(氮化镓)等半导体材料直接实现蓝光波段激光输出的半导体激光器,该方式具有体积小,效率高等优势,但是光斑质量较差;(2)基于单频、高光束质量的红外半导体激光器倍频产生蓝光激光,但是输出功率较低;(3)基于上转换材料为增益介质的蓝光激光器,但是输出蓝光的稳定性较差;(4)基于固体激光器倍频和频以及三倍频等非线性光学频率变换方式产生蓝色激光,但是涉及的非线性过程较多,转换效率较低。此外,还有一种基于周期极化晶体的倍频蓝光产生理念。以上方案均可以获得单一波长的蓝光激光输出。上述各过程是目前蓝色激光领域内最高效使用的获取手段。中国发明专利201510923025.3公开了一种基于扇形周期极化晶体的可调谐蓝光辐射源,该光源包括一波长可调谐的红外半导体激光器;一准直聚焦系统以及一扇形周期极化晶体,扇形周期极化晶体作为红外泵浦光的倍频晶体可以针对不同红外波长调节晶体周期以实现可调谐蓝光输出。这个系统的缺点是,可调谐红光半导体激光器调谐范围较小,导致蓝光调谐范围受限,同时周期极化晶体制作难度大且损伤阈值低,限制了可调谐蓝光系统的实用性以及输出功率。当前实现可调谐蓝光的方法较少,且技术并不成熟。At present, the main means to obtain all-solid-state blue lasers mainly include: (1) semiconductor lasers that use semiconductor materials such as GaN (gallium nitride) to directly realize blue-band laser output. This method has the advantages of small size and high efficiency, but the spot quality is poor. Poor; (2) Frequency doubling of infrared semiconductor lasers based on single frequency and high beam quality produces blue lasers, but the output power is low; (3) Blue lasers based on upconversion materials as gain media, but the stability of the output blue light is relatively low Poor; (4) Blue laser is generated based on nonlinear optical frequency conversion methods such as frequency doubling and frequency doubling and frequency tripling of solid lasers, but involves many nonlinear processes and low conversion efficiency. In addition, there is a frequency-doubled blue light generation concept based on periodic polarization crystals. All the above solutions can obtain blue laser output of a single wavelength. The above processes are currently the most efficient acquisition methods in the field of blue laser. Chinese invention patent 201510923025.3 discloses a tunable blue light radiation source based on a sector-shaped periodic polarization crystal. The light source includes a wavelength-tunable infrared semiconductor laser; a collimation focusing system and a sector-shaped periodic polarization crystal. The sector periodic polarization As a frequency doubling crystal for infrared pump light, the crystal period can be adjusted for different infrared wavelengths to achieve tunable blue light output. The disadvantage of this system is that the tuning range of the tunable red light semiconductor laser is small, resulting in a limited blue light tuning range. At the same time, the production of periodic polarized crystals is difficult and the damage threshold is low, which limits the practicality and output power of the tunable blue light system. Currently, there are few methods to achieve tunable blue light, and the technology is not mature.

激光自倍频晶体指晶体同时作为激光增益介质,同时作为非线性光学倍频晶体。基于自倍频晶体可以直接实现倍频激光输出,系统结构紧凑,但是基于激光自倍频晶体的激光器调谐特性有限且晶体种类较少。相较于激光晶体,非线性光学参量增益晶体应用更为灵活,且种类较多,若使非线性光学参量增益晶体同时作为倍频晶体工作,即可实现非线性光学自倍频晶体。Laser self-frequency doubling crystal refers to a crystal that simultaneously serves as a laser gain medium and a nonlinear optical frequency doubling crystal. Frequency-doubled laser output can be directly achieved based on self-frequency doubling crystals, and the system structure is compact. However, laser tuning characteristics based on laser self-frequency doubling crystals are limited and there are few types of crystals. Compared with laser crystals, nonlinear optical parametric gain crystals are more flexible in application and have more types. If the nonlinear optical parametric gain crystals work as frequency doubling crystals at the same time, nonlinear optical self-frequency doubling crystals can be realized.

无机晶体,如KTP(磷酸钛氧钾)晶体、BBO(偏硼酸钡)晶体以及PPLN(周期极化铌酸锂)晶体等,凭借其较大的非线性系数、较小的吸收系数以及相位配条件,是非线性频率变换中非常常用的晶体。其中KTP晶体是的典型晶体。KTP晶体为KTiOPO4(磷酸钛氧钾)晶体的缩写,属于正交晶系,空间群Pna21,点群mm2,其具有较大的非线性系数,较宽的允许温度与允许角度,较高的损伤阈值,较宽的透光范围,良好的物理、化学以及机械性能。由于KTP晶体的双折射特性,基于KTP晶体的角度相位匹配技术较为成熟,适用于倍频(SHG)、和频(SFG)以及光学参量振荡(OPO)等各种非线性光学频率变换方式。在KTP晶体合适的切割角度下,KTP晶体中可以同时满足多个相位匹配过程,多个非线性频率转化过程得以实现。如果可以通过设计晶体切角与激光波长,使一块KTP晶体同时满足OPO过程、SHG过程以及SFG过程,既使KTP晶体成为非线性自倍频晶体,便可以获得可调谐多波长的激光输出。实际上可以根据蓝色激光的波长要求设计晶体的参数,从而使得一块KTP晶体即作为OPO晶体同时作为SHG以及SFG晶体,实现OPO腔内自倍频获取多波长可调谐蓝光输出。Inorganic crystals, such as KTP (potassium titanyl phosphate) crystal, BBO (barium metaborate) crystal and PPLN (periodic polarized lithium niobate) crystal, etc., rely on their large nonlinear coefficient, small absorption coefficient and phase coordination. Condition, is a very commonly used crystal in nonlinear frequency transformation. Among them, KTP crystal is a typical crystal. KTP crystal is the abbreviation of KTiOPO 4 (potassium titanyl phosphate) crystal. It belongs to the orthorhombic crystal system, space group Pna21, point group mm2. It has a large nonlinear coefficient, a wide allowable temperature and allowable angle, and a high Damage threshold, wide light transmission range, good physical, chemical and mechanical properties. Due to the birefringence characteristics of KTP crystals, the angular phase matching technology based on KTP crystals is relatively mature and is suitable for various nonlinear optical frequency conversion methods such as frequency doubling (SHG), sum frequency (SFG), and optical parametric oscillation (OPO). Under the appropriate cutting angle of the KTP crystal, multiple phase matching processes can be satisfied simultaneously in the KTP crystal, and multiple nonlinear frequency conversion processes can be realized. If the crystal cutting angle and laser wavelength can be designed so that a KTP crystal can satisfy the OPO process, SHG process and SFG process at the same time, even if the KTP crystal becomes a nonlinear self-frequency doubling crystal, tunable multi-wavelength laser output can be obtained. In fact, the parameters of the crystal can be designed according to the wavelength requirements of the blue laser, so that a KTP crystal can be used as an OPO crystal and simultaneously as an SHG and SFG crystal, achieving self-frequency doubling in the OPO cavity to obtain multi-wavelength tunable blue light output.

为克服现有技术的不足,本发明旨在提出一种获得波长连续可调谐的蓝光辐射源的方法及装置,实现波长连续可调谐的蓝光输出。该蓝光获取方法具有转换效率高、结构简单、价格低廉、小型化等高技术性能,使之更具有实用价值和产业化价值。为此,本发明采用的技术方案是,基于内腔自倍频的可调谐蓝光辐射源实现方法,包括以下步骤:采用Nd:YAG(掺钕石榴石)调Q激光器产生偏振方向沿竖直方向的1064nm线偏振光,经过聚焦透镜组缩束,经1064nm半波片条调整激光偏振态并入射到满足Ⅱ类相位匹配条件的倍频KTP晶体当中,经倍频产生偏振态沿竖直方向的532nm激光,经45°高反镜反射进入OPO系统,泵浦由电动振镜旋转平台控制的OPO内腔KTP晶体,内腔KTP晶体作为参量增益晶体能够产生一束波长为1.3μm附近的偏振态沿竖直方向的可调谐闲频光以及一束与之对应的700-900nm的偏振态沿水平方向的可调谐信号光,OPO系统的前后腔镜镀膜以保证信号光在腔内振荡以提高腔内信号光的功率密度,腔内振荡的高功率密度信号光在腔内参量增益KTP晶体当中同时满足倍频所需Ⅰ类相位匹配条件,即腔内KTP晶体同时实现作为参量增益晶体以及倍频晶体的功能,最终获得由可调谐信号光倍频产生的可调谐蓝光输出,且蓝光偏振态为沿竖直方向的线偏振光,同时结合KTP晶体的角度相位匹配,通过计算机控制振镜旋转系统上的电压,改变腔内KTP晶体的角度,从而实现波长快速可调谐的蓝光输出。In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention aims to propose a method and device for obtaining a blue light radiation source with continuously tunable wavelength, so as to achieve blue light output with continuously tunable wavelength. This blue light acquisition method has high technical performance such as high conversion efficiency, simple structure, low price, and miniaturization, making it more practical and industrialized. To this end, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is to implement a tunable blue light radiation source based on intracavity self-frequency doubling, which includes the following steps: using an Nd:YAG (neodymium-doped garnet) Q-switched laser to generate a polarization direction along the vertical direction The 1064nm linearly polarized light shrinks through the focusing lens group, adjusts the laser polarization state through the 1064nm half-wave plate strip, and is incident into the frequency-doubled KTP crystal that meets the type II phase matching conditions. After frequency-doubling, the polarization state is generated along the vertical direction. The 532nm laser enters the OPO system after being reflected by a 45° high-reflection mirror, and pumps the OPO inner-cavity KTP crystal controlled by an electric galvanometer rotating platform. The inner-cavity KTP crystal serves as a parametric gain crystal and can produce a beam of polarization state with a wavelength near 1.3 μm. Tunable idler light along the vertical direction and a corresponding tunable signal light with a polarization state of 700-900nm along the horizontal direction. The front and rear cavity mirrors of the OPO system are coated to ensure that the signal light oscillates in the cavity to improve the cavity. The power density of the internal signal light, the high power density signal light oscillated in the cavity, simultaneously meets the Class I phase matching conditions required for frequency multiplication in the intra-cavity parametric gain KTP crystal, that is, the intra-cavity KTP crystal simultaneously functions as a parametric gain crystal and frequency multiplication The function of the crystal is to finally obtain the tunable blue light output generated by the frequency doubling of the tunable signal light, and the polarization state of the blue light is linearly polarized light along the vertical direction. At the same time, combined with the angle phase matching of the KTP crystal, the galvanometer rotation system is controlled by the computer. The voltage on the cavity changes the angle of the KTP crystal in the cavity, thereby achieving blue light output with rapidly tunable wavelength.

在谐振腔中再放置一块参量增益KTP晶体,所有参数与之前放置的自倍频KTP晶体相同,通过振镜旋转系统10分别控制两块晶体的旋转角度,则同时获得三个波长可调谐的蓝色激光,其波长成分来源于腔内振荡的两个波长信号光各自的倍频过程以及两波长之间的和频过程。Place another parametric gain KTP crystal in the resonant cavity. All parameters are the same as the previously placed self-frequency doubling KTP crystal. By controlling the rotation angles of the two crystals through the galvanometer rotation system 10, three wavelengths of tunable blue light can be obtained at the same time. The wavelength component of color laser comes from the frequency doubling process of the two wavelength signal lights oscillating in the cavity and the sum frequency process between the two wavelengths.

在532nm绿光泵浦下产生一束线偏振且偏振态与532nm绿光相同的800nm左右腔内振荡的信号光,以及偏振态与之正交的1300nm左右的闲频光,同时腔内振荡的信号光在自倍频KTP晶体8中还满足倍频的Ⅰ类相位匹配条件,即:Under the 532nm green light pump, a linearly polarized signal light of about 800nm oscillating in the cavity with the same polarization state as the 532nm green light is generated, as well as an idler light of about 1300nm with a polarization state orthogonal to it. At the same time, the intracavity oscillation The signal light also satisfies the type I phase matching condition of frequency doubling in the self-frequency doubling KTP crystal 8, that is:

2×νsignal=νblue 2×ν signalblue

其中,υblue分别表示信号光与蓝光的频率;n+ blue表示竖直偏振态的蓝光在KTP晶体中的折射率;λblue表示蓝光波长。Among them, υ blue represents the frequency of signal light and blue light respectively; n + blue represents the refractive index of vertically polarized blue light in the KTP crystal; λ blue represents the wavelength of blue light.

This blue laser is collinearly transmitted with the idle frequency light generated by the previous nonlinear process. After being filtered by a 45° high-reflection mirror, the blue laser output can be obtained. .

通过计算机改变施加在振镜旋转平台系统上的电压,控制自倍频KTP晶体的相位匹配角度,进而可以获得调谐的腔内振荡的信号光,不同波长的信号光均可以在自倍频KTP晶体中发生倍频过程,进而获得波长连续可调谐的蓝色激光输出;自倍频KTP晶体在光束传播方向上的厚度L取1~2mm。By changing the voltage applied to the galvanometer rotating platform system through the computer, the phase matching angle of the self-frequency doubling KTP crystal is controlled, and then the signal light of the tuned intracavity oscillation can be obtained. The signal light of different wavelengths can be controlled by the self-frequency doubling KTP crystal.
