研究了光纤耦合半导体激光器端面抽运c切Nd:Lu0.99La0.01VO4晶体的激光性能。根据该晶体在~4F_(3/2)→~4F_(11/2)能级跃迁的光谱特性及四能级激光系统的阈值条件,理论计算了产生1068nm和1085nm的单、双波长激光的实验条件。实验研究了该晶体在自由运转条件下产生1068nm和1085nm单波长激光输出的性能,并使用具有亚太赫兹自由光谱范围的法布里-珀罗标准具调节1068nm和1085nm两个激光振荡波长的增益竞争,实现了4.4THz频差的多瓦连续波双波长激光的稳定、均衡输出。
We study the laser performance of c-cut Nd:Lu0.99La0.01VO4 crystal end-pumped by optical fiber coupled semiconductor laser. Based on the spectral characteristics of the 4F3/2→4F11/2 energy level transition and the threshold conditions of four-level laser system, the experimental conditions to generate single- and dual-wavelength laser at 1068 nm and 1085 nm are calculated theoretically. The output characteristics of the single-wavelength laser at 1068 nm and 1085 nm generated in free running of this crystal are studied experimentally, and an Fabry-Perot etalon with sub-terahertz free spectral range is used to adjust the gain competition of two laser oscillating wavelengths at 1068 nm and 1085 nm. The stabilized and balanced output of multi watt continuous dual-wavelength emission with a frequency offset of 4.4 THz is realized.
