摘要
Nd∶YVO4晶体中掺杂的Nd3+除了1.064 μm的受激辐射跃迁外,还可产生1.342 μm波段的弱辐射,经腔内倍频,最终可输出671 nm的红色激光。报道了一种光纤耦合半导体激光二极管(LD)阵列端面抽运Nd∶YVO4晶体,腔内采用Ⅰ类临界相位匹配LBO(LiB3O5)晶体倍频,实现波长为671 nm的全固态红光激光器瓦级输出的理论分析和实验结果。采用短三镜折叠腔结构,通过对激光晶体热透镜焦距的估算,用计算机优化设计选取了合适的谐振腔参数,在芯径为400 μm的光纤耦合808 nm半导体激光二极管阵列抽运下,当注入功率为8 W时,获得了波长为671 nm的红光基模稳定输出,最高输出功率达1.8 W,光光转换效率达22.5%。
Abstract
The Nd3+ ion doped in Nd∶YVO4 crystal has a weak laser transition at 1.342 μm in addition to 1.064 μm stimulated transition. The laser at 1.342 μm can be frequencydoubled to obtain red light at 671 nm. In this paper, the analysis and the experiment of a Nd∶YVO4 crystal pumped by 400μm fibercoupled diode array, typeⅠ critical phase matching and intracavity frequencydoubled LBO (LiB3O5) crystal, and red laser at output wavelength of 671 nm were performed. By using a short foldedcavity resonator, the thermal focal length of Nd∶YVO4 crystal was calculated, and the parameters of laser cavity were selected by computer optimum design. At last, with incident pump power of 8 W, TEM00 mode (transverse electromagnetic mode) red laser at 671 nm of 1.8 W was obtained, with the optical conversion efficiency up to 22.5%.
