  • 摘要: 为了在宽工作温度范围内,实现激光照明用800 nm波段激光器的工程化,采用端面抽运固体激光器进行了相关实验。由激光二极管阵列端面抽运的Nd : YAG激光器产生1064 nm激光,经过倍频产生532 nm激光,再经过光学参量变换产生800 nm波段的激光; 并对抽运源采用主动温控和多波长匹配技术,对磷酸钛氧钾(KTP)晶体进行主动加热。结果表明, 得到了能量不小于20 mJ、脉宽为12 ns、发散角为3.5 mrad的800 nm波段激光; 在-40℃~55℃范围内,可按照25 Hz频率连续稳定工作不小于3 min; 与直接使用808 nm半导体激光器作为照明光源相比,激光峰值功率更高,光束质量更好,脉冲宽度更窄,有利于提升激光照明的作用距离和测距精度。该激光器用于激光主动照明成像系统具有高环境温度适应性,满足工程化尤其是对宽工作温度范围的要求。

     

    Abstract: In order to engineering the 800 nm lasers used as the light source of laser illumination in wide-temperature range, an end-face pumped solid laser was used in the experiments. The output 1064 nm laser beam of the diode array end-face pumped Nd : YAG laserpassed through a KTiOPO4 (KTP) crystal, then 532 nm laser was obtained from frequency doubling of 1064 nm. Finally, the output 800 nm laser was realized after the process of optical parametric oscillator using 532 nm laser works as pump source. Active temperature controlling and multi-wavelength matching was used for laser diode array. Active heating was used for KTP. The experiment results show that the 800 nm lasers is realized with energy over 20 mJ, pulse width 12 ns and divergence angle 3.5 mrad; It can work over 3 min in 25 Hz in wide-temperature range -40 ℃~55 ℃; The output laser of this design has higher peak power, better laser beam quality and narrower pulse width compared with directly using 808 nm semiconductor laser as the light source, and these advantages are conducive to increase the working distance of laser illumination and accuracy. The temperature adaptability of this laser is high when it is worked as the light source of the active laser illumination imaging. So it can meet the demand of engineering, especially the demand of the wide using temperature.
