A BaWO4 Raman Laser with the Raman Shift of 332 cm-1
摘要
通过1064 nm激光抽运BaWO4晶体的拉曼技术,获得了1103 nm的拉曼光输出。尺寸5 mm×5 mm×46 mm的BaWO4晶体按X(ZZ)X配置,实现了332 cm-1频移的受激拉曼散射。在激光二极管抽运功率为7.55 W,声光Q开关工作频率为17 kHz的条件下,获得平均功率为1.23 W的拉曼光输出,光-光转换效率达到16.3%。此时得到的拉曼光脉冲宽度为27 ns,相应的峰值功率为2.6 kW。光束质量因子在两个正交方向上分别为2.0±0.2和1.8±0.2。同时,估算了此时BaWO4晶体的热透镜焦距,其值为-1100 mm。
Abstract
A 1103-nm BaWO4 Raman laser is demonstrated with a 1064 nm pump laser. A 5 mm×5 mm×46 mm BaWO4 crystal with scattering geometry X(ZZ)X configuration is employed as the active medium and its 332 cm-1 Raman mode is accomplished. At an incident pump power of 7.55 W, the first-Stokes power of 1.23 W at 1103.2 nm is obtained at a repetition rate of 17 kHz, corresponding to an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 16.3%. The pulse width of Raman laser is measured to be 27 ns and the peak power is 2.6 kW. The beam quality factors M2 in the two orthogonal directions are 2.0±0.2 and 1.8±0.2, respectively. The thermal focal length of the BaWO4 crystal is estimated to be -1100 mm under this condition.
