摘要
报道了一种利用激光二极管(LD)双端面泵浦的Nd∶YAG激光晶体,Cr~(4+)∶YAG晶体被动调Q,LBO临界相位匹配腔内倍频的高转换效率的绿光激光器。分析了双端面泵浦YAG激光器的热效应,实验中LD双端面泵浦,采用U型平行平面腔结构对Nd∶YAG进行传导冷却。当总泵浦光为33.8 W时,得到被动调Q频率10 KHz、功率8.21 W的线偏振基频光输出。6.72 W的绿光输出的倍频效率为86%,输出光束为基模,M~2为1.4。实验表明双端面泵浦YAG倍频激光器具有很高的转换效率。
A high efficiency all-solid-state green laser was reported which was double end-pumped by the laser diode(LD)Nd∶YAG,passive Q-switched by Cr~(4+)∶YAG,and critical phase matched by LBO intracavity.The thermal effect of double end-pump YAG laser was analyzed.In the experiment,double end-pump of LD is used to conduct the conduction cooling of Nd∶YAG with the U-type parallel flat cavity structure.When the input power is 33.8 W,the output power of linear polarized light with 10 k Hz passive Q-switch is 8.21 W which leads to the output power instability of 6.72 W and frequency doubling efficiency of 86%.The output beam is the fundamental model and M~2reaches 1.4.The experiments show that the double end-pumped YAG frequency multiplication laser has quite high conversion efficiency.
