Problems solved by technology

In this way, on the one hand, ring-shaped electrodes must be used, the switch shape and electrode preparation are difficult, and the electric field is not easy to be uniform, resulting in insufficient switching and low dynamic extinction ratio; on the other hand, the half-wave voltage is high and cannot be adjusted.
[0005] Some researchers have proposed a way to use transverse modulation. The crystal is cut at 45°-z, and an electric field is applied along the z-axis. The voltage can be reduced by increasing the aspect ratio, but there is natural birefringence, which needs to be compensated by a double crystal. Since the direction of light transmission and the optical axis are at 90°, the natural birefringence is the largest, and it is also most affected by temperature, resulting in switching performance. Extremely unstable, very sensitive to the temperature difference between two crystals, processing deviation and crystal optical quality, etc., so it has not been practically used

Abstract

The present invention provides a laterally modulated KDP type electro-optic Q switch, which is characterized in that two identical KDP type crystals are combined, and the cut shape of the KDP type crystal is, wherein x、 z Represents each crystal axis of the KDP type crystal, l、b represent the length and width directions of the cut crystal, respectively, and the angle θ The value range of the KDP type crystal is that the length direction of the KDP type crystal is the light passing direction, and the thickness direction is the electric field direction. The half-wave voltage of the electro-optical Q switch of the present invention is adjustable, the shape of the switch and the electrodes are easy to prepare, the electric field is more uniform, and thus the extinction ratio is higher, and the natural birefringence of the electro-optic Q switch of the present invention and its influence by temperature are smaller, and the The requirements for the length deviation and temperature deviation of the two crystals for matching are lower, the allowable range is larger, and it is more practical.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of Q-switched laser devices, in particular to a lateral modulation KDP type electro-optical Q switch. Background technique [0002] In the field of laser technology, Q-switching technology is one of the important ways to obtain pulsed lasers, and Q-switching devices are essential key components in pulsed lasers. Commonly used Q-switching technologies mainly include passive Q-switching, acousto-optic Q-switching and electro-optic Q-switching. Compared with the other two Q-switching technologies, electro-optical Q-switching technology, as an active Q-switching technology, has the advantages of high switching rate, strong turn-off capability, stable working state, and easy timing synchronization with other application equipment. The peak power of output laser can reach hundreds of megawatts for second-level short-pulse lasers. Therefore, electro-optic Q-switching devices have been widely used in pulsed lasers. [0003]...
