Embodiment 1

[0036] Such as Figure 1 to Figure 3 As shown, a slab laser amplifier includes a gain medium module 1 and a pump module 2. The gain medium module 1 includes a laser crystal and two cooling heat sinks 4, and the two cooling heat sinks 4 are respectively fixed on the width of the laser crystal.

Abstract

The invention relates to a slab laser amplifier and a laser output method. The slab laser amplifier comprises a gain dielectric module, pumping modules, and a reflector module, wherein the reflector module comprises two reflectors which are located on the left and right sides of the gain dielectric module; the pumping modules are located on the front and rear sides of the gain medium module; laser crystals are 0.5-1.5mm thick and include one doped laser crystal and two non-doped laser crystals; the two non-doped laser crystals are bonded to the two long and high surfaces of the doped laser crystal without adhesive, respectively, and arranged in parallel with the doped laser crystal; after seed laser is incident into the laser crystals at a certain angle, the seed laser is reflected back and forth between the reflectors, and meanwhile, passes through the laser crystals between the reflectors, and finally, the power amplified laser can be output. The bonded laser crystals of an ultrathin slab structure are taken as the gain dielectric of the slab laser amplifier, the thermal effect of the laser crystals is reduced and the gain effect of the gain dielectric is improved; high-output power and high-beam quality continuous or pulse laser amplified output can be obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of solid-state laser amplifiers, in particular to a slab laser amplifier and a laser output method thereof. Background technique [0002] Both the laser amplifier and the laser (oscillator) are based on the same physical process of "optical amplification by stimulated radiation", the only difference is that the laser amplifier has no resonant cavity. Laser amplifiers can obtain high output power and high beam quality laser beams; however, the two indicators of high output power and high beam quality are a contradictory process in the laser, and it is difficult to meet them at the same time. In the laser amplifier system, a seed laser beam with high beam quality and low output power is generally included as the input laser, and the input laser is then amplified by a laser amplifier to obtain a laser output with high output power and high beam quality. [0003] In the existing slab laser amplifier system, the...
