Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to macro-energy double-frequency laser system, particularly a kind of II class KDP crystal is to the control method of infrared light frequency multiplication optimum matching state.
Background technology
Ultrashort ultra-intense laser will provide new research means for the development in fields such as the ultrafast science of high field, relativity nonlinear physics, astrophysics; This technology has obtained development by leaps and bounds since middle 1980s, comprise that each scientific and technological power of the world of China has set up large-scale high power ultra-short pulse laser facility in succession.In femtosecond magnitude ultrafast laser system, amplifying (CPA) based on the chirped pulse of titanium jewel (Ti:Sapphire) crystal is the major technology route; And heavy caliber KDP crystal is the main frequency-doubling crystal of 1053nm fundamental frequency light, so the output efficiency that improves the KDP crystal as much as possible is to improve pump energy, realizes one of gordian technique of high energy laser output.
In high energy PW (be afraid of watt) laser system, the method for optimizing KDP crystal double frequency efficient mainly is a phase matching angle of regulating the KDP crystal and the position angle makes frequency doubled light output efficiency maximum; The principle of this method can be summarized as follows:
The expression formula of II class KDP crystal double frequency is o+e → e, and the shg efficiency of KDP crystal and light ray propagation direction (θ, φ) relevant, deff=(d
14+ d
36) sin θ cos θ cos2 φ, the optimum phase matching problem is exactly under the situation that phase matching angle θ satisfies, and selects the position angle φ of light ray propagation, makes the shg efficiency of KDP crystal reach maximum.Figure (1) has provided the frequency multiplication process of fundamental frequency light in the KDP crystal; θ among the figure is a phase matching angle, is the angle of fundamental frequency optical propagation direction with respect to optical axis of crystal Z direction, and the φ angle is that light is at the projection on xy plane and the angle of optical axis.Regulate in order to reduce reflection loss and to be convenient to, general total hope lets fundamental frequency light positive incident plane of crystal in the experiment.So during the processing frequency-doubling crystal, must press the certain orientation sliced crystal,, see figure (2) so that the crystal normal direction becomes θ with optical axis direction.Therefore, when regulating the phase matching angle of KDP crystal, as long as make fundamental frequency light vertical incidence to plane of crystal.But, after definite fundamental frequency light positive is incident to plane of crystal, still need finely tunes phase matching angle and make the KDP crystal reach the optimum matching state owing to there is mismachining tolerance; The fundamental frequency polarization state of light of incident is 45 in the II class frequency multiplication
0The line polarisation is horizontal polarization light or vertical polarization light time when exporting light, and this moment, corresponding position angle φ was 0 ° or 90 °, can know according to the expression formula of effective nonlinear coefficient, and the effective nonlinear coefficient of this moment is maximum, and conversion efficiency is the highest.When frequency multiplication polarization state of light during not at these two states, crystal is not in best frequency multiplication state, and output efficiency is on the low side.Through rotating crystal, can change azimuthal size, and the output polarization state of light changes with the change at phasing degree.
At present, in high energy PW laser system, the key step of the control method of heavy caliber KDP frequency-doubling crystal can be summarized as follows: after the KDP frequency-doubling crystal is placed on amplifier, make light be incident to the germ nucleus; The phase matching angle and the position angle of adjustment KDP crystal, the power of behind KDP, observing green glow simultaneously with blank sheet of paper is stopped the rotation when green glow is the strongest, fixedly the KDP crystal frame; Mainly there is following shortcoming in this method: because fundamental frequency invisible light only, and general KDP plane of crystal all is coated with the 1053nm anti-reflection film, the Direct observation fundamental frequency only not the vertical incidence plane of crystal be difficulty very; Utilize the power of eye-observation green glow to be easy to cause eye fatigue, and then cause judgement inaccurate, influenced frequency multiplication output; Even when the green glow of exporting is the strongest, corresponding output polarization state of light is not necessarily horizontal polarization light, also might be orthogonal polarized light; The single-shot experiment that this method need be carried out repeatedly just can obtain higher shg efficiency, and is consuming time very long, and shg efficiency can not get maximization, can not guarantee to export polarization state of light.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to overcome the shortcoming of above-mentioned existing heavy caliber KDP frequency-doubling crystal control method; The control method of a kind of II class KDP crystal to infrared light frequency multiplication optimum matching state is provided, and this method both can make the shg efficiency maximization, can guarantee to export the control method of polarization state again, and this method is not only simple to operate, scientific and effective, and practical.
