Technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
A kind of polychrome femtosecond laser generating device, feature is that its formation comprises: along the direction of advancing of incident laser, the first aperture successively, plano-convex lens and dichronic mirror, incident laser is divided into transmitted light beam and folded light beam through described dichronic mirror, along folded light beam direction successively through long pass filter sheet, chronotron, the flat reflection silver mirror of second orifice diaphragm and third high, incide on non-linear transparent solid medium, described transmitted light beam passes through chirped mirror successively, the first high flat reflection silver mirror and the second high flat reflection silver mirror, incide on described non-linear transparent medium, the described transmitted light beam and the folded light beam that incide described non-linear transparent medium have certain angle, regulate described chronotron, two light beams were well overlapped in time and space, thereby produce polychrome femto-second laser pulse.
Described chronotron for by two high flat reflection silver mirrors be positioned at same translation stage at the same time and form.
First, this device is based on cascade four-wave mixing principle, the index path of this device as shown in Figure 1, the direction of advancing along incident laser 1, be followed successively by aperture 2, plano-convex lens 3 and dichronic mirror 4, incoming laser beam is punished into two-way at dichronic mirror, one tunnel is through dichronic mirror reflection, successively by long pass filter sheet 13, chronotron 14(dotted line frame: wherein chronotron is by two high flat reflection silver mirrors 5, 6 form with translation stage), aperture 15 and Gao Ping reflection silver mirror 9, incide on non-linear transparent solid medium 11, another bundle sees through dichronic mirror, pass through successively chirped mirror 10, high flat reflection silver mirror 7 and 8, last and dichronic mirror folded light beam coincides with on non-linear transparent medium 11 with certain angle, regulate chronotron, two light beams were well overlapped in time and space, thereby produce polychrome femto-second laser pulse, , the spectrometer 12 being positioned at below receives measure spectrum.
In apparatus structure, aperture 2 and aperture 15 are convenient to regulate light path to use.The focal length of plano-convex lens 3 is that the whole light path inciding on non-linear transparent medium 11 according to two-way light beam is selected, and the two-way light hot spot overlapping is positioned near focus.Dichronic mirror is to select according to the wave band of incoming laser beam 1, is mainly incident beam to be divided into the light beam of a long and short two wave band.The selection of long pass filter sheet, depends on through the wave band of dichronic mirror 4 reflected light light beams and the heterogeneous light centre frequency that needs generation below.The temporal resolution of chronotron 14 determines by the translation precision of translation stage, and the pulsewidth of two light beams is depended in the selection of its temporal resolution.Chirped mirror is for compensating just warbling of incident beam, so that short-wave band laser pulse is warbled for negative, the order of reflection of light between chirped mirror determined by the positive chirp value of incident light and the chromatic dispersion compensation quantity parameter of chirped mirror.5,6,7,8,9 for having the plane mirror of high reflectance, or silver mirror, or aluminium mirror, can be also dielectric mirror, and the centre frequency by incident light in specific experiment determines, selects the highest plane mirror of corresponding reflectivity.Non-linear transparent medium 11 can be bbo crystal, Sapphire, Fused silica, CaF 2etc. non-linear transparent medium, in experiment, to the selection of non-linear transparent dielectric material 11, require material transparent to incident laser, it is high that third-order non-linear coefficient is wanted, and thickness is suitable.Spectrometer 12 can be selected the spectrometer of high spectral accuracy, for improving measuring accuracy and measuring the inferior polychromatic light spectrum of all levels.
Fixed length wave band light beam, by regulating high flat reflector 7 and 8, short-wave band light beam and long-wave band light beam are spatially well coincided with on non-linear transparent medium 11 with long-wave band light beam, regulate chronotron, two light beams are overlapped in time to greatest extent, so just produced the femto-second laser pulse of multiple color limpid in sight.Translation is positioned at the spectrometer 12 after non-linear transparent medium 11, measures one by one the polychromatic light spectrum of not at the same level time.It should be noted that and regulate high flat reflector 7 and 8, can change the angle between long and short wave band two light beams, thereby play tuning effect.
The present invention has following outstanding feature:
(a) the present invention is a modular polychromatic light generation device, can directly by changing different dichronic mirrors and catoptron, carry out regulating device, makes device be applicable to the incident laser pulse of different-waveband.
(b) this contrive equipment is simple in structure, only utilizes several catoptrons, a dichronic mirror and a pair of chirped mirror, has just produced the femto-second laser pulse of a plurality of colors.
(c) in this device, the energy range for incident laser pulse can be very large, because can select the non-linear transparent medium of different materials different-thickness, the non-linear transparent medium of selecting suitable material and thickness, can obtain higher-energy, and pulsewidth is less than the Multi Colour Lasers pulse of 10 femtoseconds.
(d) in apparatus of the present invention, the compensating action of chirped mirror to the incident light with just warbling, short-wave band light beam is warbled for negative, and long-wave band is not passed through chirp compensation, itself is just for just warbling, in the frequency producing like this, change light just with a certain amount of negative warbling, by glass sheet, just can compress its pulsewidth.
(e) by controlling the thickness of incident light energy, pulsewidth and non-linear transparent medium, can reach energy and the pulsewidth of controlling the Multi Colour Lasers pulse producing.
