Problems solved by technology

Therefore, even a small (such as 1°) non-collinear angle will cause serious wavefront mismatch, such as figure 2 shown
This will not only lead to a significant drop in conversion efficiency, but more seriously will introduce spatial chirp into the amplified signal laser pulse, reducing the focusability of the amplified laser

Abstract

The invention discloses a femtosecond optical parameter amplifier. The femtosecond optical parameter amplifier is characterized in that birefringent crystals are inserted into stages of an optical parameter amplifier to separate signal light from idle light in time, and then the ultrashort time response of a pump laser pulse is utilized to selectively amplify only one path of laser, so that the pump light and the signal light in each stage of optical parameter amplification can work in the complete collinear condition, the spatial chirp is eliminated, and the conversion efficiency is improved. As shown in an experiment, the femtosecond optical parameter amplifier has the advantages of high conversion efficiency, no spatial chirp and strong focusing capacity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a femtosecond laser, in particular to a femtosecond optical parameter amplifier. Background technique [0002] High peak power and wavelength tunable laser sources have important application value in science, environment, military and many other fields. However, limited by the limited types of laser gain media, current femtosecond laser sources are only distributed in several limited and isolated wavelength bands, such as 800 nm, 1030 nm, 1057 nm, 1064 nm, etc. Optical parametric amplification is currently the most effective frequency conversion technology for obtaining high peak power and wavelength tunable laser light sources. Its principle is to use the second-order nonlinear polarization effect of nonlinear crystals to transfer the energy of the incident pump light to In the signal light to be amplified, optical parametric amplification is performed on the signal light, and at the same time idle light of another frequency ...
