摘要
介绍了一种光纤耦合激光二极管阵列(LDA)同时泵浦Nd:YAG和Nd:YVO4晶体输出554.8nm连续波的全固态黄-绿光激光器。黄-绿激光是由Nd:YAG晶体的946nm激光和Nd:YVO4晶体的1342nm激光非线性和频产生,两条谱线在各自晶体的对应能级跃迁分别为4F3/2-4I9/2和4F3/2-4I13/2。实验中采用复合腔结构,利用KTP晶体II类临界相位匹配进行腔内和频,当注入到Nd:YAG和Nd:YVO4晶体的泵浦功率分别为30W和20W时,获得了1.13W的连续波554.8nm黄-绿激光输出,光束质量因子M2<1.22,这是目前为止该波长已见报道的最高功率输出值。实验结果表明:采用Nd∶YAG和Nd∶YVO4两种激光晶体进行腔内和频是获得黄-绿激光的高效方法,并可以应用到其他两种激光晶体进行腔内非线性和频,获得更多不同波长的激光输出。
An all-solid-state continuous-wave yellow-green laser at 554.8 nm made by fiber coupled LDA pumping Nd:YAG and Nd:YVOa crystals at the same time was studied. The yellow-green laser was obtained by nonlinear sum-frequency of 946 nm and 1 342 nm laser, 946 nm wavelength was obtained from ^4F3/2-^4I9/2 transition in Nd:YAG and 1 342 nm wavelength was obtained from ^4F3/2-^4I13/2 transition in Nd:YVO4. The yellow-green laser of 1.13 W output at 554.8 nm was obtained by using a double cavity, type-II critical phase matching KTP crystal intra-cavity sum-frequency to 946 nm and 1 342 nm, and incident pumped power of 30 W in Nd:YAG and 20 W in Nd:YVO4.It was reported that this was the maximum power output at the wavelength and its M2 factor was less than 1.22. The experimental results show that the Nd:YAG and Nd:YVO4 crystals intra-cavity sum-frequency is an effective method for yellow-green laser and it can be applied to the other two laser crystals to obtain more all-solid-state lasers with different wavelengths.
