Research on an end-pumped orthogonal Porro prism cavity laser

  • 摘要: 为了获得结构紧凑、光束质量高、光轴稳定性好的机载激光辐射器,采用LD端面抽运构型与正交直角棱镜腔技术对该型激光器进行研究,基于琼斯矩阵理论分析了特殊波片实现调Q关门的原理,通过带曲率设计的直角棱镜腔镜, 将腔型控制在大基模尺寸,并实验对比了正交偏振关门与特殊波片关门两种方式。结果表明,在正交偏振关门状态下,20 Hz的工作重频时获得了单脉冲能量72.2 mJ、光束质量Mx2=8和My2=6的激光输出; 基于K9玻璃的直角棱镜材料,利用0.648λ波片进行调Q关门,在20 Hz的工作重频下,获得了单脉冲能量80 mJ、光束质量Mx2=5.7和My2=4.8的高光束质量输出,其中激光器在xy方向上的发散角分别为1.65 mrad和1.35 mrad。这一结果对高性能小型化激光器的研发是有帮助的。

     

    Abstract: In order to obtain an airborne laser radiator with compact structure, high beam quality and good optical stability, LD end-pumped configuration and orthogonal porro prism cavity technology were used to study this type of laser. Based on Jones matrix theory, the principle of realizing Q-switched with special wave-plate was analyzed, and the cavity was controlled to the large fundamental mode size through the design of Porro prism cavity mirror with suitable curvature. The results show that the laser output with single pulse energy of 72.2 mJ and beam quality of Mx2=8 and My2=6 can be obtained at 20 Hz repetition frequency under the condition of orthogonal polarization closed state. Based on the Porro prism material of K9 glass, 0.648λ wave-plate was used for Q-switched closed state. Under the working repetition frequency of 20 Hz, a high beam quality output with single pulse energy of 80 mJ, beam quality of Mx2=5.7 and My2=4.8 is obtained.The divergence angles of the laser in the x- and y-direction are 1.65 mrad and 1.35 mrad respectively. This result is helpful for the research and development of high performance miniaturized lasers.
