摘要
研制了高稳定Nd∶YVO4皮秒激光振荡器, 并在15 W、808 nm激光泵浦下得到6 W的连续锁模皮秒激光输出, 光-光效率为40%.对该皮秒激光进行单通放大后得到14 W的基频光输出, 倍频后可以得到7 W的532 nm皮秒激光, 用作钛宝石振荡器的泵浦源.在4.5 W的皮秒532 nm激光泵浦下, 结合腔外压缩, 得到了脉宽为9.4 fs、平均功率为150 mW的脉冲序列输出.调节钛宝石振荡器的腔长使其与皮秒振荡器的腔长一致时, 可实现自触发克尔透镜锁模.实验结果表明皮秒激光泵浦可以有效地触发钛宝石激光器的自动锁模, 输出飞秒脉冲序列.
Abstract
A high-power Nd: YVO4 picosecond laser was developed, and the continuously mode-locking with output power of 6 W was realized under 15 W 808 nm pump power, corresponding to optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 40%. The picoseond laser was amplified to 14 W by a single segment amplifier stage. After frequency multiplication, 7 W picosecond laser was obtained, serving as pump source of Ti∶sapphire oscillator. Being pumped by 4.5 W 532 nm picosecond laser, the pulse trains output with pulse duration compressed to 9.4 fs and average power of 150 mW was obtained. By tuning the cavity length of the Ti: sapphire oscillator to decrease the difference between the two oscillators′ cavity length, self-initiating Kerr-lens mode-locking was realized. The result shows that the picosecond laser pumping could trigger the Ti∶sapphire oscillator mode-locking and output femtosecond pulse trains.
