Description

基于无序激光晶体的飞秒锁模激光器及激光产生方法Femtosecond mode-locked laser based on disordered laser crystal and laser generation method

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及中红外固体激光技术领域,具体涉及一种基于无序激光晶体的飞秒锁模激光器及激光产生方法。The invention relates to the technical field of mid-infrared solid-state lasers, in particular to a femtosecond mode-locked laser based on disordered laser crystals and a laser generation method.

背景技术Background technique

得益于激光晶体材料和锁模技术的快速发展,近红外波段的飞秒锁模激光技术已经非常成熟,相关商业化产品不断面世。随着激光物理的不断发展,人们发现许多光和物质相互作用的过程与激光波长密切相关,因此急需拓宽飞秒锁模激光的波长覆盖范围。特别的,2微米飞秒锁模激光在时间分辨分子光谱学、光学频率梳产生、光参量啁啾脉冲放大、半导体材料微加工等领域具有独特的优势。Thanks to the rapid development of laser crystal materials and mode-locking technology, the femtosecond mode-locking laser technology in the near-infrared band has become very mature, and related commercial products have been released continuously. With the continuous development of laser physics, it has been found that many processes of light-matter interaction are closely related to the laser wavelength. Therefore, it is urgent to broaden the wavelength coverage of femtosecond mode-locked lasers. In particular, the 2-micron femtosecond mode-locked laser has unique advantages in the fields of time-resolved molecular spectroscopy, optical frequency comb generation, optical parametric chirped pulse amplification, and semiconductor material micromachining.

目前,常用的2微米激光晶体材料主要包括Ho:YAG、Tm:YAG、Tm:YLF、Tm:YAP、Ho,Tm:YLF等,但是这些传统晶体材料的荧光光谱较窄,不易实现超短脉冲和宽调谐输出。近年来,人们提出无序激光晶体材料的概念,这种材料即保留了传统晶体材料良好的热力学和光学性能,又可以将荧光谱展宽,这将非常有利于超短脉冲激光的产生。据报道,目前已通过Tm:CLNGG、Tm:CNNGG、Tm,Ho:CLNGG、Tm,Ho:CNGG、Tm:CALYO、Tm,Ho:CALGO等无序激光晶体产生2微米飞秒锁模激光,其脉冲宽度可短至几十飞秒。由于产生超短脉宽飞秒锁模激光要求泵浦源具有较好的光束质量,因此通常采用钛宝石激光器作为泵浦源,然而钛宝石激光器存在体积庞大、价格昂贵等缺点;另外,受限于钛宝石激光器的输出功率,目前基于无序激光晶体的2微米飞秒锁模激光器输出功率尚处于较低水平(<400mW)。近年来,分布布拉格反射锥形半导体激光器得到飞速发展,目前已实现高功率(>10W)、高光束质量、窄线宽的半导体激光输出;相比于钛宝石激光器,分布布拉格反射锥形半导体激光器具有成本低、结构简单的优势,使之成为飞秒锁模激光器的一种非常有潜力的泵浦源。At present, the commonly used 2-micron laser crystal materials mainly include Ho:YAG, Tm:YAG, Tm:YLF, Tm:YAP, Ho,Tm:YLF, etc. However, the fluorescence spectrum of these traditional crystal materials is narrow and it is not easy to realize ultrashort pulses and wide tuned output. In recent years, the concept of disordered laser crystal materials has been proposed, which not only retains the good thermodynamic and optical properties of traditional crystal materials, but also broadens the fluorescence spectrum, which is very beneficial to the generation of ultrashort pulsed lasers. According to reports, 2-micron femtosecond mode-locked lasers have been generated by disordered laser crystals such as Tm:CLNGG, Tm:CNNGG, Tm,Ho:CLNGG, Tm,Ho:CNGG, Tm:CALYO, Tm,Ho:CALGO. The pulse width can be as short as tens of femtoseconds. Since the generation of ultra-short pulse width femtosecond mode-locked laser requires the pump source to have good beam quality, Ti:sapphire laser is usually used as the pump source. However, Ti:sapphire laser has disadvantages such as bulky and expensive; Due to the output power of Ti:sapphire lasers, the current output power of 2-micron femtosecond mode-locked lasers based on disordered laser crystals is still at a low level (<400 mW). In recent years, the distributed Bragg reflection conical semiconductor laser has been developed rapidly, and the semiconductor laser output with high power (>10W), high beam quality and narrow linewidth has been realized; compared with the Ti:sapphire laser, the distributed Bragg reflection conical semiconductor laser It has the advantages of low cost and simple structure, making it a very potential pump source for femtosecond mode-locked lasers.

综上,行业内急需研发一种既能输出高功率、高光束质量、超短脉宽的2微米飞秒锁模激光,而其泵浦源的体积和成本大大降低的锁模激光器。In summary, the industry urgently needs to develop a 2-micron femtosecond mode-locked laser capable of outputting high power, high beam quality, and ultra-short pulse width, and a mode-locked laser that greatly reduces the volume and cost of the pump source.
