  • 摘要:

    基于大增益带宽和高热导率晶体的偏振复用 技术可以提高双频 器和双光梳 器在输出光谱范围和功率方面的性能。本文提出一种基于Yb:CALGO晶体的偏振复用 器。将两片与光轴成45°角切割的双折射晶体放置在增益晶体的前后两侧形成三明治结构,利用双折射晶体的偏振特性使腔内 形成只在三明治结构部分具备空间分离其余部分共线的偏振方向互相垂直的两种模式。同时,这种三明治结构既能使单束泵浦光能够自动分离为两束空间分离匹配的泵浦光,也可以使腔内增益晶体放置在腔内模式腰斑位置处,与泵浦光达到更好的模式匹配,提高光泵浦效率。最终测得的 输出功率达到瓦量级并且斜率效率超过30%。在腔内加入标准具后,实现了频差为太赫兹量级的稳定双频 运转。

LD: fiber-coupled laser diode; DCM1, DCM2: dichroic mirrors; G: Yb:CALGO cryatal; BC1, BC2: birefringent crystals made of YVO4; HR: high reflection concave mirror with a curvature radius of 150 mm; OC: output coupler with a curvature radius of 150 mm; L1, L2: lenses; HWP: half-wave plate; PBS: polarization beam splitter

    Figure 2.Measurement results of the output power when the laser was operated in single mode. (a) Output power versus the direction of linearized laser polarization. (b) Output power versus absorbed pump power

    Figure 3.Output power of the laser when the birefringent crystals were inserted into the cavity. (a) Two polarization states exist at the same time; (b) only the ordinary light is pumped; (c) only the extraordinary light is pumped

    Figure 4.Spectra in different conditions. (a)−(c) show the spectra when no etalon was used, and (d)−(f) show the spectra when an etalon was used; (a) and (d) show the spectra when the o- and e-light coexisted, while (b), (c), (e), (f) show the spectra when only one polarization state was excited
