摘要
在分析棒状激光介质热应力导致退偏损耗特性的基础上,建立了相应的数学模型,探讨了谐振腔内低阶模和高阶模退偏损耗的不同特性,提出一种具有退偏补偿和选模功能的新型谐振腔。该谐振腔结构在运行时存在三个子腔且因棒状激光介质的热应力导致退偏特性相互耦合,通过对这三个子腔偏振态补偿特性、谐振腔稳定性及选模特性进行深入分析,给出了此类谐振腔理想的设计方案,开展了相应的实验研究,并获得较好光束质量的激光输出。
Abstract
A novel resonator for compensating thermal induced birefringence and self-selecting mode is designed. Based on the depolarization characteristics analysis of Nd:YAG rod, the properties of compensating depolarization loss and self-selecting mode, and the stability of resonator are discussed. The technology uses a feedback mirror to compensate depolarization, which makes the resonator contain three sub-resonators with different abilities of mode selection. The resonator is applied to a diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser operating at acoustic optical (AO)-Q switch for acquiring high quality beam.
