摘要: 为解决激光晶体传导冷却与输出光束能量分布对称性之间的矛盾,针对半导体激光器(LD)抽运高功率固体激光器,提出了半环形侧面对称抽运的方式。对多LD阵列同时抽运激光晶体的吸收与增益情况进行了计算,并在实验中予以验证,采用半环形对称抽运的方式,在20Hz的工作频率下,以总抽运单脉冲276m J的能量获得最大63.6m J的圆形对称脉冲激光输出,斜效率34%。实验结果表明,采用对称抽运结构能够有效地改善输出光束的空间分布,获得较为对称的激光输出。Abstract: To reduce the asymmetry of the output laser beam caused by the geometry of the conduct-cooled laser crystal in side pumped solid-state lasers,two pump modules were symmetrically placed and a semi-circumferentially mounted LD arrays were taken in each pump module.Numerical calculation and experiment were made,a maximum output power of 63.6mJ was gotten with 276mJ pump power at a frequency of 20Hz,the slope efficiency was 34%.Both numerical and experimental results prove the symmetrical geometry can effectively improve the beam quality and approximate symmetrical laser distribution can be obtained.
