Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of optoelectronic device manufacturing and optical engineering laser, and particularly relates to a multi-wavelength solid laser based on Ho doped crystals and an operation method thereof.
Background
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology is rapidly expanding to various departments of the information industry as a core technology in the leading edge fields of optical fiber communication, optical computation, and the like. The high-efficiency and high-integration laser output requirement of the laser device provides a great challenge for the modern laser technology. However, due to the inherent absorption and emission spectrum limitations of laser crystals, conventional lasers are mostly limited to single wavelength operation, the multi-wavelength signal generating capability is limited to the number of lasers, and moreover, due to the complex tuning characteristics of the individual lasers, it is difficult to realize stable multi-wavelength output, which poses serious challenges in the field of wide-application wavelength division multiplexing technologies such as photoelectric integration (such as on-chip computing and data interconnection) and optical fiber communication.
The multi-wavelength laser with the authorized bulletin number of CN203674555U is formed by arranging a green laser module, a red laser module and a blue laser module in parallel, wherein the centers of the three modules form an equilateral triangle, and the emergent light of the three modules has the same divergence angle and the same spot size. And different combinations are adopted to light the red, blue and green laser modules, so that lasers with different colors can be obtained. But only outputs laser light of three colors of red, green and blue.
The 'multi-wavelength laser' with the authorized bulletin number of CN112928588B utilizes a resonant cavity and cavity mirror coating process of an imaging structure, so that the laser with different wavelengths has different distribution areas in a gain medium, and the competition of each wavelength is avoided. Films with different reflectivities aiming at different wavelengths are plated, so that the loss of each wavelength in each film plating area is different, the condition that only one wavelength in different film plating areas starts to vibrate is met, and the laser outputs laser with different wavelengths simultaneously is realized. However, the preparation process involves a coating process of different gain media, and the process is extremely complex when the preparation process is applied to the gain media, and also involves a series of problems such as whether the corresponding gain media have mature coating process or not, and that different wavelength outputs need to correspond to different pump sources.

For further understanding of the invention, the following detailed description is to be taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings 1-7, in which:
example 1:
a multi-wavelength solid laser based on Ho doped crystal comprises a 1940nm pump source 1, an optical fiber 2, an optical fiber coupling lens group 3, a micro lens array 4, an input plane mirror 5, a Ho doped mixed crystal 6, an output plane mirror 7 and a 1900nm narrow-band filter 8;

Further, the surface of the input plane mirror 5 is plated with a 2050nm narrow-band reflective film, and the surface of the output plane mirror 7 is plated with a 2050nm 5% transmissive film.
Further, in the Ho-doped mixed crystal 6, the cylindrical doped crystal 16 is an a-axis cut Ho: YAP crystal, the first fan-shaped ring doped crystal 12 is a c-axis cut Ho: LLF crystal, the second fan-shaped ring doped crystal 13 is a c-axis cut Ho: YAP crystal, the third fan-shaped ring doped crystal 14 is a c-axis cut Ho: YLF crystal, and the fourth fan-shaped ring doped crystal 15 is a b-axis cut Ho: YAP crystal.
Further, the angle of each doped crystal in the Ho-doped mixed crystal 6 is in the range of 0 to 90 °. In addition, ho in the Ho doped mixed crystal is LLF crystal, ho in YLF crystal and Ho in YAP crystal, the hardness is high, conventional mechanical cutting or laser cutting can be realized, heat sinks with required shapes can be customized when the Ho doped mixed crystal is combined, the crystal is placed in the heat sink to finish crystal manufacturing, one method of crystal cutting is to place the crystal in the heat sink in a spliced mode according to a left pattern in a second drawing after all the crystal is cut according to a c-axis, the other method is to cut small crystals along different included angles with the c-axis on a large crystal cut by the c-axis instead of the c-axis, the cutting direction is defined as 'c-5 DEG cutting', 'c-10 DEG cutting', 'C-theta cutting' and the like, and the crystal can be directly spliced and placed in the heat sink after the crystal is cut.

introducing a wavelength lambda to formula (7) gives the expression:
Wherein m 1 'and m 2' are respectively a third positive integer, a fourth positive integer, and θ π0 and θ σ0 respectively represent the included angles of the outputted sigma polarization and pi polarization and the crystal main axis;
Based on the formula (8) and the formula (9), the variables Deltalambda π(α)/Δλσ (alpha) and m 1'/m2 'are also changed in a synergic manner after alpha is introduced, when the polaroid is rotated, the refractive index n c (theta) is changed along with the change of theta, so that the optical path L' is changed, the mode k of a wave vector is changed along with the change of the wave vector in order to meet the standing wave condition, namely the wavelength lambda is changed, the theory model is applicable to Ho: LLF crystals based on c-axis cutting, and the theory model is applicable to Ho: YLF and Ho: YAP, only the difference between single-wavelength laser and dual-wavelength laser exists, and under the condition of meeting the formula (8) and the formula (9), the multi-wavelength solid laser based on Ho doped crystals outputs 2 mu m band lasers in different frequency ranges.
From the above derivation, it is known that, due to the special design of the Ho doped mixed crystal, the refractive index n c (θ) changes with θ, thereby changing the optical path length L'. In order to meet standing wave conditions, the mode k of the wave vector will vary with it, i.e. the wavelength λ will vary. The theoretical model is also applicable to doped crystals comprising Ho: YLF, ho: YAP, and only the difference between outputting single-wavelength laser light and dual-wavelength laser light exists, that is, each part of the Ho doped mixed crystal outputs laser light of different wavelengths due to the change of polarization direction, even the same crystal, and each part of the fan-shaped structure outputs laser light of different wavelengths due to the different rotation angles.
