  • 摘要: 针对评估高功率固体激光器光束指向角不稳定性的需求,构建了考虑热分布和增益分布的激光光场数值计算模型,分析了谐振腔输出镜和反射镜失谐程度对光束指向稳定性的影响。定义了腔镜转动微扰因子和腔镜移动微扰因子,分别描述腔镜平行失谐和共轴失谐的程度,并在谐振腔光场计算中引入了微扰因子、热效应调制和增益调制。利用该方法研究了高功率Nd:YAG固体激光器在腔镜失谐状态下,谐振腔参数对光束指向稳定性的影响。抽运功率为10 000 W,腔镜转动微扰因子和腔镜移动微扰因子分别在1×10−4~50×10−4和1×10−7~50×10−7范围内变化时,激光束指向偏移角均方根值在抽运脉冲时间内的波动范围为1×10−6 rad~5×10−3 rad。

     

    Abstract: A numerical calculation model of laser light field considering thermal distribution and gain distribution is constructed to evaluate the beam pointing angle instability of high-power solid-state lasers. The influence of the detuning degree of the resonator output mirror and the mirror on the beam pointing stability is analyzed. The cavity mirror rotation perturbation factor and the cavity mirror moving perturbation factor are defined to describe the degree of parallel detuning and coaxial detuning of the cavity mirror, respectively. The perturbation factor, thermal effect modulation and gain modulation are introduced in the calculation of the cavity light field. Using this method, the influence of resonator parameters on the beam pointing stability of high-power Nd : YAG solid-state laser under the condition of cavity mirror detuning is studied. When the pump power is 10000 W, when the cavity mirror rotation perturbation factor and the cavity mirror movement perturbation factor change in the range of 1×10−4~50×10−4 and 1×10−7~50×10−7, respectively, the fluctuation range of the root mean square value of the laser beam pointing offset angle in the pump pulse time is 1×10−6~5×10−3 rad.
