摘要: 介绍了一种激光二极管 (LD) 阵列侧面泵浦电光调 Q 的高峰值功率、窄脉宽的 Tm:YAG 激光器。使用 LGS 晶体作为电光 Q 开关, 研究了白宝石堆片和格兰棱镜分别作为起偏器时激光输出的特性。研究表明: 使用 白宝石堆片作为起偏器时, 随着泵浦能量的增加会有尾脉冲出现; 而使用格兰棱镜作为起偏器时, 则无尾脉冲。 使用格兰棱镜作为起偏器时, 该激光器输出激光中心波长为 2.02 µm, 在重复频率为 10 Hz 时, 可获得最大单脉冲 输出能量为 60 mJ、脉冲宽度为 65.6 ns、峰值功率为 0.91 MW、斜效率为 5.41% 的激光输出。

Abstract: An electro-optic Q-switched Tm:YAG laser with high peak power and narrow pulse width side-pumped by laser diode (LD) array is introduced. Using LGS crystal as electro-optical Q-switch, the characteristics of the laser output are investigated when the white Sapphire and Glan prism are used as a polarizer respectively. The results show that when using Sapphire stack as a polarizer, there will be a tail pulse with the increase of pump energy, however, when using a Glan prism as a polarizer, there is no tail pulse. Using a Glan prism as the polarizer, the central wavelength of the laser output is 2.02 µm, and a laser output with a maximum single pulse output energy of 60 mJ, a pulse width of 65.6 ns, a peak power of 0.91 MW and a slope efficiency of 5.41% can be obtained at a repetition frequency of 10 Hz.
