基于扭摆腔结构的双腔双频激光器研究

Dual-cavity dual-frequency laser based on twisted-mode cavity structure

  • 摘要: 为实现正交线偏振单纵模双频激光输出并抑制空间烧孔效应,基于扭摆腔结构设计了一种双腔双频Nd:YAG 激光系统。分析了扭摆腔的工作原理,得到了驻波场的能量分布;设计了一种基于扭摆腔的双腔双频Nd:YAG激光器,采用偏振分光棱镜作为偏振元件,使激光器的两个驻波腔均能以单纵模振荡的方式工作。实验结果表明:当泵浦功率为2 W时,直腔输出功率为5.76 mW,L腔输出功率为1.97 mW,两个子腔均实现了正交线偏振1 064 nm单纵模激光输出,有效抑制了空间烧孔效应。结果证实了扭摆腔结构在实现双频激光同轴输出方面具有显著优势。

     

    Abstract: To achieve orthogonally linearly polarized single-longitudinal-mode dual-frequency laser output and suppress spatial hole-burning effects, a dual-cavity dual-frequency Nd:YAG laser system was designed based on a twisted-mode cavity configuration. The working principle of the twisted-mode cavity laser was analyzed theoretically, and the energy distribution of the standing wave field was obtained. A two-cavity dual-frequency Nd:YAG laser based on twisted-mode cavity was designed. The polarization splitting prism was used as the polarization element to enable the two standing wave cavities to operate in a single longitudinal mode oscillation. The orthogonal linear polarization 1 064 nm dual-frequency laser output was obtained, which means that the spatial hole burning effect was effectively suppressed. Experimental results demonstrate that at a pump power of 2 W, the straight sub-cavity delivers an output power of 5.76 mW, while the L-shaped sub-cavity produces 1.97 mW. Both sub-cavities achieve orthogonally linearly polarized single-longitudinal-mode laser outputs at 1 064 nm, effectively suppressing spatial hole-burning effects. These findings conclusively validate that the twisted-mode cavity configuration exhibits remarkable advantages in enabling coaxial dual-frequency laser output.
