Description

Single frequency tuneable laser
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of tunable laser, specifically is the single frequency tuneable lasers of two blocks of electrooptic crystals of a kind of usefulness as tuner.
Background technology
Single frequency tuneable laser is a kind of important light source, and it has broad application prospects in fields such as remote sensing, guided missile tracking, optical fiber communication, high-density optical storages, causes people's extensive concern.
Xiang Guan research work has before this:
1.P.A.Schulz on Opt.Lett, delivered the paper that is entitled as " warbled Nd:YAG laser " in 1991 Deng the people, this work LiTaO 3As modulation crystal, obtaining maximum tuning range is the continuously adjustable laser of 12GHz, and the used time of the tuning 1.2GHz of laser frequency is 0.6ns, and power output is 20mW.
2.J.Harrison on IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics, delivered in 1992 with etalon and the tuning single frequency laser of piezoelectric ceramic cooperation Deng the people, utilize the change etalon and the way wide region of light angle, the frequency of discrete adjusting laser, utilize piezoelectric ceramic to regulate the frequency that the long way of laser chamber is regulated laser continuously.This laser utilizes the available maximum tuning range of etalon to be 640mW for 50GHz, the peak power output of used time for 5ms, laser.
3. people such as Zhang Jing delivered to be entitled as on Chinese laser and " has solidified single-frequency Nd:YVO entirely in 2002 4Tunable laser " paper.With obtaining the about 100GHz of maximum tuning range of single frequency laser with the similar tuning methods of above-mentioned second piece of article.
In above-mentioned first piece of article, in being housed, two mirror standing-wave cavities of laser crystal put into electrooptic crystal LiTaO 3Realize tuning.Utilize and give LiTaO 3During the crystal making alive, the change of light path realizes tuning in the resonant cavity.Its maximum tuning range is the longitudinal mode spacing of resonant cavity decision, increase tuning range, and it is long to shorten laser cavity.If obtain the tuning range of 100GHz, the chamber of laser is long to be needed less than 1.5mm.Therefore, the tuning range relative narrower of such laser, and also such laser is that the microplate gain media that utilizes an end face to be coated with the chamber mirror obtains single-frequency laser output, the power output of laser is lower.Second piece and the 3rd piece of article use the etalon of adjustable-angle and the frequency that the chamber mirror of piezoelectric ceramic is regulated laser together continuously are housed.Wherein, etalon need be contained on the base that can regulate, the reliability of laser is reduced, and cause the resonant cavity off resonance easily; The displacement and the non-linear relation of institute's making alive of common piezoelectric ceramic, under different voltages, the tuning sensitivity difference; The two is in course of adjustment all mechanical movement, and it is tuning that intrinsic inertia makes this mode obtain fast frequency, and used tuning period is in the millisecond magnitude.
Summary of the invention
It is higher to the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of tuned speed and precision, the tuning range broad, and power output is higher, the single frequency tuneable laser of good reliability.
A kind of single frequency tuneable laser of the present invention's design, comprise gain medium 5, laserresonator, pumping source 6, the device that makes the laser single-frequency operation and laser tuning device, it is characterized in that described laser tuning device is to play first block of electrooptic crystal 1 of etalon effect and another piece and be used to finely tune that second block of electrooptic crystal 2 of light path constitutes in the resonant cavity by being separately fixed in the resonant cavity one, at two relative side coated electrodes 3 of first block of electrooptic crystal 1, at two relative side coated electrodes 4 of second block of electrooptic crystal 2.The present invention utilizes two blocks of electrooptic crystals wide region, the discontinuous and frequency of regulating laser continuously respectively; Replaced mechanical adjustment with electrical adjustment, with fixing optical element replacement activity optical element, thus the single frequency tuneable laser of realization high tuning speed, high tuning precision, wide tunable range, high-output power and high reliability.
Described first block of electrooptic crystal 1 is to be processed into the optical crystal thin slice that logical light face is parallel to each other.With LiNbO 3Crystal is an example, along optical axis direction (Z direction) sliced crystal, make direction of an electric field parallel with the polarisation of light direction (light is non-ordinary light in crystal) with optical axis direction, optical direction is directions X (or Y direction), when when optical axis direction applies voltage to crystal, crystal refractive index change into Δ n e=-n e 3r 33V/2l (V is the voltage that is added on the crystal) is directly proportional with voltage on being added in crystal, and consequently etalon is to the change of the loss of various frequency laser.Etalon is realized modeling by the change to the different frequency optical loss.The free spectral range of etalon is big more, and actual accessible tuning range is wide more.If getting the length of etalon optical direction is 0.5mm, the free spectral range of etalon equals 140GHz, and as the voltage V=4000V that is added on the electrode, distance between electrodes l=1mm obtains Δ n e=1.08 * 10 -3, because Δ n/n=Δ v/v, to 1064nm light, v=2.82 * 10 5GHz, the change Δ v ≈ 120GHz of frequency.The free spectral range of etalon is exactly the maximum tuning range of laser, and in the laser of tool that settles the standard, the size and the distance between electrodes of voltage are relevant on tuning size and the electrode.The logical light face of etalon can plate the different reflectance coating of index, when reflectivity is high, is easy to modeling; When reflectivity hanged down, tuning process was less to the influence of power output.
