LaMgAl_(11)O_(19)∶Co~(2+)被动调Q铒玻璃激光器研究

综述了被动调Q铒玻璃激光器的发展概况,推导了被动调Q铒玻璃激光器输出脉冲能量、脉宽的解析表达式,数值模拟了腔内损耗与输出脉冲能量、脉宽及峰值功率的关系以及输出脉冲能量与输入抽运能量的关系。设计了一台LaMgAl11O19∶Co2 被动调Q铒玻璃激光器,实验验证了数值模拟分析结果。结果表明,腔内损耗增加将导致输出脉冲能量下降,脉宽变大,从而峰值功率降低。输入能量低于12J时,输出只有单脉冲,当输入能量大于12J时,输出会出现双脉冲。在8J的电输入下,获得了峰值功率50kW,2.7mJ的1.535μm激光输出。最后讨论了提高单脉冲能量的方法。     

A 2.048μm Tm,Ho:GdVO4 Laser Pumped Doubly Resonant Optical Parametric Oscillator Based on Periodically Poled Lithium LiNbO3

A multi-grating periodically poled LiNb03 （PPLN） doubly resonant optical parametric oscillator （DROPO） pumped by a 2-ttm laser is demonstrated experimentally. Employing acousto-optically Q-switched Tm,Ho：GdV04 laser with pump pulse of 25ns and repetition rate of lOkHz as pump sources firstly, the noncritically quasi- phase-matched （QPM） tunable mid-IR output in 3.87-4.43 μm is produced. Wavelength tuning is achieved with crystal temperature tuning from 50-180^o C. When the incident average pump power is 3 W at 2.048μm, the total OPO output power of 195mW at wavelength 3.88μm is obtained, corresponding to optical-to-optical conversion efficiency up to 6.5%.

Diode-pumped single frequency Tm,Ho:YLF laser at room temperature

Solid-state lasers operating in 2-μm waveband are the subject of much interest[1-8], as this is an eye-safe wave- band that offers the possibility of atmospheric propa- gation for applications such as range-finding, coherent laser radar, and atmospheric sensing.

Narrow Linewidth Tm^3＋-Doped Large Core Fiber Laser Based on a Femtosecond Written Fiber Bragg Grating

A diode laser （LD） clad-pumped narrow linewidth all-fiber Tm^3＋-doped fiber laser is reported with a maximal output power of 27W at 1.947μm. By successively splicing an LD pigtail fiber, a single-mode Tm^3＋-doped fiber, and a multi-mode Tm^3＋-doped fiber, the fiber laser has 70pm narrow linewidth output, and a high slope efficiency of nearly 47.5% with respect to the launched pump power. The high reflectivity fiber Bragg gratings, which are directly written into the single-mode Tm^3＋-doped fiber core by the 800nm femtosecond pulsed laser, act as the high reflectivity coupler. The output laser has diffraction-limited beam quality with a factor M^2 of 1.29, when the output laser power is nearly 27W.     

High Power Continuous-Wave and Acousto-Optic Q-Switched Nd：GdVO4 Laser Operated at 912 nm

We present a high power and efficient operation of the ^4F3/2 → ^4I9/2 transition in Nd：GdVO4 at 912nm. In the cw mode, the maximum output power of 8.6 W is achieved when the incident pump power is 40.3 W, leading to a slope efficiency of 33.3% and an optical-optical efficiency of 21.3%. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest cw laser power at 912nm obtained with the conventional Nd：GdVO4 crystal. Pulsed operation of 912nm laser has also been realized by inserting a small aeousto-optie （A-O） Q-Switch inside the resonator. As a result, the minimal pulse width of 20ns and the average laser power 1.43 W at the repetition rate of lOkHz are obtained, corresponding to 7.1 kW peak power. We believe that this is the highest laser peak power at 912nm. Furthermore, duration of 65ns has also been acquired when the repetition rate is 100 kHz.
