Description

一种极宽频谱内产生连续可调谐窄带激光的装置A device for generating continuously tunable narrow-band laser in an extremely wide spectrum

技术领域Technical Field

本发明涉及激光技术、非线性频率变换技术领域,尤其涉及一种极宽频谱内产生连续可调谐窄带激光的装置。The invention relates to the fields of laser technology and nonlinear frequency conversion technology, and in particular to a device for generating continuously tunable narrow-band laser in an extremely wide frequency spectrum.

背景技术Background technique

由于激光器产生的波长受到增益介质能级结构的影响,因此很多波长不能直接产生,伴随着其他波长光源在实际应用中的需要,波长转换技术逐渐受到人们的重视,成为非线性光学中的重点研究项目,利用准相位匹配技术实现非线性频率转换成为拓宽激光频率的有效途径。窄线宽的激光器,近几年已广泛应用在引力波探测、激光雷达、分布式传感、高速相干光通信等领域,因此在极宽频谱内产生连续可调谐窄带激光具有重要意义。Since the wavelength generated by the laser is affected by the energy level structure of the gain medium, many wavelengths cannot be generated directly. With the need for other wavelength light sources in practical applications, wavelength conversion technology has gradually attracted people's attention and become a key research project in nonlinear optics. The use of quasi-phase matching technology to achieve nonlinear frequency conversion has become an effective way to broaden the laser frequency. In recent years, narrow-linewidth lasers have been widely used in gravitational wave detection, lidar, distributed sensing, high-speed coherent optical communications and other fields. Therefore, it is of great significance to generate continuously tunable narrow-band lasers in an extremely wide spectrum.

单块周期极化铌酸锂晶体在特定阶的准相位匹配下,只能提供单一的倒格矢补偿其相位失配,输出单一特定频率的波长。在不采用外部方法扩展非线性频率转换时,必须通过增加晶体块数以提供多个非线性频率转换所需的倒格矢才能实现。目前,已有许多调谐手段,包括温度调谐、电场调谐、角度调谐等,然而,温度调谐存在几个问题,包括对高精度温度控制设备的要求,温度漂移对波长稳定性的影响,高低温切换的响应时间长,以及高温下晶体寿命容易退化。另一方面,多种调谐方法的结合增加了实验操作的复杂性和结果分析的不确定性。电场调谐技术可以在一定程度上解决上述问题,尽管如此,均匀电场法场应用于PPLN晶体不提供调谐。均匀电场引起的电光扰动会产生非线性参数相互作用的相位匹配变化,但在对称晶体中它们会相互抵消,并且周期场仅从晶体表面穿透到一定深度。入射角作为准相位匹配中的一种替代调谐方法,通过改变泵浦光直接从空气入射至晶体端面的角度,在角度准相位匹配方案下,的确能产生可调谐的窄带激光,当假设使得外部的入射角能够理想化从0-90°可调控,由斯涅尔折射定律可知,实际泵浦光进入铌酸锂晶体内部的角度却是极小的,当发生倍频的非线性效应时内部角度变化仅大致从0-30°,而实验中还存在晶体的尺寸限制入射角度的范围,这就意味着产生可调谐倍频过程时,覆盖的基频光频谱范围是非常有限的,无疑制约了在角度准相位匹配方案下单块周期极化铌酸锂晶体输出波长的应用价值。A single periodically poled lithium niobate crystal can only provide a single reciprocal lattice vector to compensate for its phase mismatch under a specific order of quasi-phase matching, and output a single specific frequency wavelength. When no external method is used to expand the nonlinear frequency conversion, it is necessary to increase the number of crystal blocks to provide multiple reciprocal lattice vectors required for nonlinear frequency conversion. At present, there are many tuning methods, including temperature tuning, electric field tuning, angle tuning, etc. However, there are several problems with temperature tuning, including the requirement for high-precision temperature control equipment, the impact of temperature drift on wavelength stability, the long response time of high and low temperature switching, and the easy degradation of crystal life at high temperature. On the other hand, the combination of multiple tuning methods increases the complexity of experimental operation and the uncertainty of result analysis. Electric field tuning technology can solve the above problems to a certain extent. Nevertheless, the uniform electric field method does not provide tuning when applied to PPLN crystals. The electro-optical perturbations caused by the uniform electric field will produce phase matching changes of nonlinear parameter interactions, but in symmetrical crystals they will cancel each other out, and the periodic field only penetrates from the crystal surface to a certain depth. As an alternative tuning method in quasi-phase matching, the incident angle can indeed produce tunable narrow-band lasers by changing the angle at which the pump light is directly incident from the air to the end face of the crystal under the angle quasi-phase matching scheme. When it is assumed that the external incident angle can be ideally adjusted from 0-90°, it can be seen from Snell's refraction law that the actual angle at which the pump light enters the lithium niobate crystal is extremely small. When the nonlinear effect of frequency doubling occurs, the internal angle changes only approximately from 0-30°. In the experiment, the size of the crystal also limits the range of the incident angle. This means that when a tunable frequency doubling process is generated, the covered fundamental frequency spectrum range is very limited, which undoubtedly restricts the application value of the output wavelength of a single periodically polarized lithium niobate crystal under the angle quasi-phase matching scheme.

为至少一定程度上解决现有技术中存在的技术问题之一,本发明的目的在于提供一种极宽频谱内产生连续可调谐窄带激光的装置。In order to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art to a certain extent, the present invention aims to provide a device for generating continuously tunable narrow-band laser in an extremely wide spectrum.

本发明所采用的技术方案是:The technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

一种极宽频谱内产生连续可调谐窄带激光的装置,包括:A device for generating continuously tunable narrow-band laser in an extremely wide spectrum, comprising:

可调谐纳秒、皮秒、甚至飞秒等窄带激光器泵浦源模块;Tunable nanosecond, picosecond, and even femtosecond narrow-band laser pump source modules;

可操纵的非线性变频模块,由两个半圆柱棱镜和单块非线性极化晶体组合成,且非线性极化晶体设置在两个半圆柱棱镜之间;The controllable nonlinear frequency conversion module is composed of two semi-cylindrical prisms and a single nonlinear polarization crystal, and the nonlinear polarization crystal is arranged between the two semi-cylindrical prisms;

基于改变泵浦光在非线性极化晶体内部角度为主导,根据准相位匹配条件,旋转非线性极化晶体,同时紧贴着非线性极化晶体的半圆柱棱镜前后移动,完成光入射、非线性效应产生、光出射三个过程;其中,泵浦光从空气中不同角度入射至第一个半圆柱棱镜光心,其过程不改变角度偏转以实现第一个过程,光由光心入射至非线性极化晶体,发生内部角度偏折产生非线性效应,最终光从晶体出射端口经第二个半圆柱棱镜光心射出至空气中,以接收采集。Based on changing the internal angle of the pump light in the nonlinear polarization crystal, the nonlinear polarization crystal is rotated according to the quasi-phase matching condition, and the semi-cylindrical prism close to the nonlinear polarization crystal is moved back and forth to complete the three processes of light incidence, nonlinear effect generation, and light emission. Among them, the pump light is incident on the optical center of the first semi-cylindrical prism from different angles in the air, and the process does not change the angle deflection to achieve the first process. The light is incident on the nonlinear polarization crystal from the optical center, and the internal angle deflection occurs to produce a nonlinear effect. Finally, the light is emitted from the crystal exit port through the optical center of the second semi-cylindrical prism into the air for reception and collection.

对上述方案进一步改进为,所述泵浦光以TE偏振模式不同角度入射非线性变频模块,振动方向平行于晶轴z轴,进入非线性极化晶体中的光为非寻常光,推导倍频过程中泵浦光在非线性极化晶体不同内部角度下的相位失配。The above scheme is further improved as follows: the pump light is incident on the nonlinear frequency conversion module at different angles in TE polarization mode, the vibration direction is parallel to the crystal axis z-axis, the light entering the nonlinear polarization crystal is extraordinary light, and the phase mismatch of the pump light at different internal angles of the nonlinear polarization crystal during the frequency doubling process is derived.

对上述方案进一步改进为,所述泵浦光斜入射非线性极化晶体产生二次谐波,假定晶体的x方向相位匹配,晶体的y方向相位失配,仅考虑y方向发生非线性频率转换,利用非线性晶体提供的倒格矢结构实现准相位匹配。The above scheme is further improved as follows: the pump light is obliquely incident on the nonlinear polarization crystal to generate second harmonics. It is assumed that the phase of the crystal is matched in the x direction and mismatched in the y direction. Only the nonlinear frequency conversion in the y direction is considered, and quasi-phase matching is achieved by using the reciprocal lattice structure provided by the nonlinear crystal.

对上述方案进一步改进为,所述非线性极化晶体的极化周期、啁啾度、占空比、晶体规格等数值组合可调,以使所述非线性极化晶体的倒格矢呈现为分布在不同位置的若干个窄带倒格矢锋或极窄带的倒格矢带,能够有效补偿多阶准相位匹配非线性频率转换过程的相位失配量。The above scheme is further improved as follows: the numerical combination of the polarization period, chirp, duty cycle, crystal specifications, etc. of the nonlinear polarization crystal is adjustable, so that the reciprocal lattice vector of the nonlinear polarization crystal appears as a number of narrow-band reciprocal lattice vector peaks or extremely narrow-band reciprocal lattice vector bands distributed at different positions, which can effectively compensate for the phase mismatch in the multi-order quasi-phase matching nonlinear frequency conversion process.

对上述方案进一步改进为,所述非线性极化晶体的极化周期为24μm,啁啾度为0,通光长度为5mm,宽度为12mm,提供沿着通光方向的倒格矢结构,能够有效补偿1-10阶准相位匹配非线性频率转换过程的相位失配量。The above scheme is further improved as follows: the nonlinear polarization crystal has a polarization period of 24 μm, a chirp of 0, a light transmission length of 5 mm, a width of 12 mm, and provides a reciprocal lattice vector structure along the light transmission direction, which can effectively compensate for the phase mismatch in the 1-10 order quasi-phase matching nonlinear frequency conversion process.

对上述方案进一步改进为,所述非线性极化晶体的若干个窄带倒格矢锋或倒格矢带在不同内部角度下,分别对应不同波长的可调谐基频光参与非线性频率转换过程,且每个倒格矢能够在特定晶体内部角度下能够有效衔接前一个倒格矢补偿的非线性频率转换过程的相位失配量,通过多阶准相位匹配的若干个倒格矢完成产生极宽频谱可调谐的二次谐波,由1-10阶准相位匹配产生可调谐倍频,覆盖基频光可达到750nm-2700nm,并单独由1阶准相位匹配继续产生覆盖更长波的可调谐倍频,覆盖基频光可达到2700nm-4900nm的宽谱范围,从而产生在325nm-2450nm范围连续可调谐的高效窄带倍频。需要说明的是,基于上述所给出的非线性极化晶体的具体设计参数下,利用多阶准相位匹配机制和角度调谐方案能够产生的连续可调谐的高效窄带倍频范围,仅是为了更好地展示和方便理解,而不应该成为限制本发明所保护的权利范围,这些等同的变形或替换均包含在本申请权利要求所限定的范围内。The above scheme is further improved as follows: a plurality of narrowband reciprocal lattice vector peaks or reciprocal lattice vector bands of the nonlinear polarization crystal respectively correspond to tunable fundamental frequency lights of different wavelengths at different internal angles to participate in the nonlinear frequency conversion process, and each reciprocal lattice vector can effectively connect the phase mismatch amount of the nonlinear frequency conversion process compensated by the previous reciprocal lattice vector at a specific crystal internal angle, and a plurality of reciprocal lattice vectors of multi-order quasi-phase matching are used to generate extremely wide spectrum tunable second harmonics, and tunable frequency doublings are generated by 1-10 order quasi-phase matching, covering fundamental frequency light up to 750nm-2700nm, and tunable frequency doublings covering longer waves are continuously generated by 1 order quasi-phase matching alone, covering fundamental frequency light up to a wide spectrum range of 2700nm-4900nm, thereby generating efficient narrowband frequency doublings that are continuously tunable in the range of 325nm-2450nm. It should be noted that, based on the specific design parameters of the nonlinear polarization crystal given above, the continuously tunable high-efficiency narrowband frequency doubling range that can be produced by using the multi-order quasi-phase matching mechanism and the angle tuning scheme is only for better display and easy understanding, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of rights protected by the present invention. These equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of this application.

对上述方案进一步改进为,所述的第一个半圆柱棱镜的平面端紧贴非线性极化晶体入光的一侧,以完成光入射过程,其折射率接近但仍低于非线性极化晶体;根据斯涅尔定律,由非线性极化晶体内部角度计算半圆柱棱镜的入射角度,并控制泵浦光从空气中入射垂直至半圆柱棱镜柱面端,方向过半圆柱棱镜光心,传播过程保持该入射角度。The above scheme is further improved as follows: the plane end of the first semi-cylindrical prism is close to the light-entering side of the nonlinear polarization crystal to complete the light incident process, and its refractive index is close to but still lower than that of the nonlinear polarization crystal; according to Snell's law, the incident angle of the semi-cylindrical prism is calculated from the internal angle of the nonlinear polarization crystal, and the pump light is controlled to be incident from the air vertically to the cylindrical end of the semi-cylindrical prism, and the direction passes through the optical center of the semi-cylindrical prism, and the incident angle is maintained during the propagation process.

对上述方案进一步改进为,所述的第二个半圆柱棱镜的平面端紧贴非线性极化晶体出光的一侧,以完成光出射过程,其折射率接近但仍高于非线性极化晶体;操纵光从非线性极化晶体出端口经第二个半圆柱棱镜平面端的光心入射,根据斯涅尔定律,光在第二个半圆柱棱镜发生偏折,并保持该折射角度垂直通过柱面端出射接收采集。The above scheme is further improved as follows: the plane end of the second semi-cylindrical prism is close to the light-emitting side of the nonlinear polarization crystal to complete the light emission process, and its refractive index is close to but still higher than that of the nonlinear polarization crystal; the manipulated light is incident from the exit port of the nonlinear polarization crystal through the optical center of the plane end of the second semi-cylindrical prism, and according to Snell's law, the light is deflected in the second semi-cylindrical prism and the refraction angle is maintained vertically to be emitted through the cylindrical end for reception and collection.

对上述方案进一步改进为,所述可调谐窄带激光器泵浦源模块包括激光器、半波片和平凸透镜;激光器用于产生激光,激光依次经过半波片和平凸透镜后,入射非线性变频模块。The above scheme is further improved as follows: the tunable narrowband laser pump source module includes a laser, a half-wave plate and a plano-convex lens; the laser is used to generate laser light, and the laser light passes through the half-wave plate and the plano-convex lens in sequence and then enters the nonlinear frequency conversion module.

Furthermore, the pump light emitted from the plane optical center of the first semi-cylindrical prism can enter the periodically poled lithium niobate crystal to produce a frequency doubling nonlinear effect, and the light at the crystal output port is refracted again, propagates along the plane optical center of the second semi-cylindrical prism and is emitted into the air for collection and measurement. The filter 8 is used to filter the fundamental frequency light, and the filtered light reaches the photoelectric probe 9, which is connected to the power meter 10. The power meter 10 and the spectrometer 11 are used to record and measure the output light spectrum.

本实施案例中,如图2所示的周期极化铌酸锂晶体的傅里叶系数频谱与不同内部角度下二次谐波产生过程的相位失配曲线图,其中横坐标为倒格矢的数值,左侧纵坐标为有效的非线性系数,右侧纵坐标为匹配的基频波长。设计的周期极化铌酸锂晶体提供10个倒格矢锋,分别对应m=1至m=10阶准相位匹配。在泵浦光正入射即β=0°时,根据相位失配曲线与每个倒格矢锋的相交处可知,此时不同的倒格矢锋可为不同基频波长的非线性频率转换过程提供有效的相位补偿,产生不同频率二次谐波。有效利用泵浦光入射光周期极化铌酸锂晶体的内部角度β,这里以0-80°示例,在不同角度下晶体提供的同一倒格矢锋均为不同基频波长的非线性频率转换过程提供有效的相位补偿。至此,利用周期极化铌酸锂晶体的多阶准相位匹配和内部角度调谐机制,可以将为极宽频谱内连续的非线性频率转换过程提供有效的相位补偿,从而产生高效倍频。此外,相比与宽带啁啾周期极化铌酸锂晶体的有效傅里叶频谱,周期极化铌酸锂或窄带啁啾周期极化铌酸锂晶体能提供较大的傅里叶系数,这将有效提高输出可调谐激光波长的转换效率。In this implementation case, as shown in FIG2, the Fourier coefficient spectrum of the periodically poled lithium niobate crystal and the phase mismatch curve of the second harmonic generation process at different internal angles, the horizontal axis is the value of the reciprocal lattice vector, the left vertical axis is the effective nonlinear coefficient, and the right vertical axis is the matching fundamental wavelength. The designed periodically poled lithium niobate crystal provides 10 reciprocal lattice vector peaks, corresponding to m = 1 to m = 10 order quasi-phase matching. When the pump light is incident normally, that is, β = 0°, according to the intersection of the phase mismatch curve and each reciprocal lattice vector peak, it can be seen that at this time, different reciprocal lattice vector peaks can provide effective phase compensation for the nonlinear frequency conversion process of different fundamental wavelengths and generate second harmonics of different frequencies. The internal angle β of the periodically poled lithium niobate crystal with the incident pump light is effectively utilized. Here, 0-80° is used as an example. The same reciprocal lattice vector peak provided by the crystal at different angles provides effective phase compensation for the nonlinear frequency conversion process of different fundamental wavelengths. At this point, the multi-order quasi-phase matching and internal angle tuning mechanism of periodically poled lithium niobate crystals can provide effective phase compensation for continuous nonlinear frequency conversion processes within an extremely wide spectrum, thereby producing efficient frequency doubling. In addition, compared with the effective Fourier spectrum of broadband chirped periodically poled lithium niobate crystals, periodically poled lithium niobate or narrowband chirped periodically poled lithium niobate crystals can provide larger Fourier coefficients, which will effectively improve the conversion efficiency of the output tunable laser wavelength.

本实施案例中,如图3所示,周期极化铌酸锂晶体内部角度调谐与多阶准相位匹配实现极宽频谱高效连续倍频,由图3(a)可知,在极宽频谱高效倍频产生中,第一个倒格矢锋在β从0-50°角度范围覆盖基频波长约从1719nm-4900nm,其中有效利用了相位失配曲线的简并点;第二个倒格矢锋在β从0-60.9°角度范围覆盖基频波长约从1278-1719nm;第三个倒格矢锋在β从0-48.85°角度范围覆盖基频波长约从1112-1278nm;第四个倒格矢锋在β从0-42.5°角度范围覆盖基频波长约从1014-1112nm;第五个倒格矢锋在β从0-37.2°角度范围覆盖基频波长约从949-1014nm;第六个倒格矢锋在β从0-34.4°角度范围覆盖基频波长约从897-949nm;第七个倒格矢锋在β从0-31.9°角度范围覆盖基频波长约从857-897nm;第八个倒格矢锋在β从0-40.3°角度范围覆盖基频波长约从799-857nm;第九个倒格矢锋在β从0-28.4°角度范围覆盖基频波长约从777-799nm;第十个倒格矢锋在β从0-26.3°角度范围覆盖基频波长约从750-777nm。上述每个倒格矢锋补偿可调谐的基频波长都是窄带的,甚至可视为单色光.与此同时,此非线性晶体倒格矢的设计方案并不是唯一的,只需要这些倒格矢的分布足够窄带,且能够有效补偿可调谐泵浦激光光源的倍频过程,并且使得晶体的多阶准相位匹配在内部角度调谐方案下补偿覆盖极宽频谱的可调谐基频光,即可有效产生极宽频谱高效倍频。In this implementation case, as shown in FIG3 , the internal angle tuning of the periodically poled lithium niobate crystal and the multi-order quasi-phase matching realize extremely wide spectrum efficient continuous frequency doubling. As shown in FIG3 (a), in the extremely wide spectrum efficient frequency doubling generation, the first inverse lattice vector peak covers the fundamental wavelength from about 1719nm to 4900nm in the angle range of β from 0-50°, which effectively utilizes the degenerate point of the phase mismatch curve; the second inverse lattice vector peak covers the fundamental wavelength from about 1278nm to 1719nm in the angle range of β from 0-60.9°; the third inverse lattice vector peak covers the fundamental wavelength from about 1112nm to 1278nm in the angle range of β from 0-48.85°; the fourth inverse lattice vector peak covers the fundamental wavelength from about 10 14-1112nm; the fifth inverted lattice vector peak covers the fundamental frequency wavelength from about 949-1014nm in the angle range of 0-37.2° in β; the sixth inverted lattice vector peak covers the fundamental frequency wavelength from about 897-949nm in the angle range of 0-34.4° in β; the seventh inverted lattice vector peak covers the fundamental frequency wavelength from about 857-897nm in the angle range of 0-31.9° in β; the eighth inverted lattice vector peak covers the fundamental frequency wavelength from about 799-857nm in the angle range of 0-40.3° in β; the ninth inverted lattice vector peak covers the fundamental frequency wavelength from about 777-799nm in the angle range of 0-28.4° in β; the tenth inverted lattice vector peak covers the fundamental frequency wavelength from about 750-777nm in the angle range of 0-26.3° in β. Each of the above-mentioned reciprocal lattice vectors with tunable fundamental wavelength compensation is narrow-band and can even be regarded as monochromatic light. At the same time, the design scheme of this nonlinear crystal reciprocal lattice vector is not unique. It only needs the distribution of these reciprocal lattice vectors to be narrow-band enough and to be able to effectively compensate for the frequency doubling process of the tunable pump laser light source, and to make the multi-order quasi-phase matching of the crystal compensate for the tunable fundamental light covering an extremely wide spectrum under the internal angle tuning scheme, so as to effectively produce extremely wide spectrum and efficient frequency doubling.

本实施案例中,如图4所示,周期极化铌酸锂晶体与两个半圆柱棱镜协同完成内部角度调谐产生过程中基频光的入射与出射。图4(a)是m=1阶准相位匹配为例,当周期极化铌酸锂晶体的内部角度β分别为0°,10°,20°,30°,40°和48.5°时,根据第一个半圆柱棱镜选用的材料折射率,由斯涅尔折射定律计算可知,泵浦光入射至半圆柱棱镜与水平方向的角度分别为0°,12.37°,24.96°,38.05°,52.32°和67.32°,其中泵浦光垂直入射半圆柱棱镜的柱面,方向过半圆柱棱镜光心。为了避免在周期极化铌酸锂晶体发生非线性效应后的出射光直接与空气界面发生全反射现象,更好地引导光出射,并进一步进行测量。第二个半圆柱棱镜可应用在折射角度较大时,这里以β为30°,40°,48.5°构建半圆柱棱镜装置上下移动的示意图,确保光沿着第二个半圆柱棱镜的光心方向入射传播并出射至空气中,方便后续进行滤光测试。同样地,图4(b)是m=2阶准相位匹配为例,选取周期极化铌酸锂晶体的内部角度β分别为0°,20°,40°,60°,60.9°具体演示,对应泵浦光入射至第一个半圆柱棱镜与水平方向的角度分别为0°,22.67°,46.41°,77.47°和80.04°。当内部角度增大时,晶体可以上下移动使得泵浦光由第一个半圆柱棱镜的光心进入晶体在y方向相互作用长度保持最大,光不打在晶体的侧面,以β为40°,60°,60.9°构建半圆柱棱镜装置上下移动接收从晶体出射的光,确保光沿着第二个半圆柱棱镜的光心方向入射传播并出射至空气中。最终,基于两个半圆柱棱镜和单块非线性晶体组合的非线性变频模块,在可调谐窄带激光器泵浦下产生了极宽频谱的高效倍频。In this implementation case, as shown in FIG4 , the periodically poled lithium niobate crystal and two semi-cylindrical prisms cooperate to complete the incidence and emission of the fundamental frequency light in the process of internal angle tuning. FIG4 (a) is an example of m=1-order quasi-phase matching. When the internal angle β of the periodically poled lithium niobate crystal is 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 40° and 48.5°, respectively, according to the refractive index of the material selected for the first semi-cylindrical prism, it can be calculated by Snell's refraction law that the angle of the pump light incident on the semi-cylindrical prism and the horizontal direction is 0°, 12.37°, 24.96°, 38.05°, 52.32° and 67.32°, respectively, wherein the pump light is vertically incident on the cylindrical surface of the semi-cylindrical prism, and the direction passes through the optical center of the semi-cylindrical prism. In order to avoid the phenomenon of total reflection of the emitted light directly from the air interface after the nonlinear effect of the periodically poled lithium niobate crystal occurs, the light emission is better guided and further measured. The second semi-cylindrical prism can be used when the refraction angle is large. Here, a schematic diagram of the semi-cylindrical prism device moving up and down is constructed with β of 30°, 40°, and 48.5° to ensure that the light is incident and propagated along the optical center direction of the second semi-cylindrical prism and emitted into the air, which is convenient for subsequent filtering tests. Similarly, Figure 4 (b) is an example of m = 2nd order quasi-phase matching, and the internal angles β of the periodically poled lithium niobate crystal are selected as 0°, 20°, 40°, 60°, and 60.9° for specific demonstration, and the corresponding angles of the pump light incident on the first semi-cylindrical prism and the horizontal direction are 0°, 22.67°, 46.41°, 77.47°, and 80.04°, respectively. When the internal angle increases, the crystal can move up and down so that the pump light enters the crystal from the optical center of the first semi-cylindrical prism, and the interaction length in the y direction is kept at the maximum, and the light does not hit the side of the crystal. The semi-cylindrical prism device is constructed with β of 40°, 60°, and 60.9° to move up and down to receive the light emitted from the crystal, ensuring that the light is incident and propagated along the optical center direction of the second semi-cylindrical prism and emitted into the air. Finally, the nonlinear frequency conversion module based on the combination of two semi-cylindrical prisms and a single nonlinear crystal produces highly efficient frequency doubling with an extremely wide spectrum under the pumping of a tunable narrow-band laser.
