Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the present invention is described in further details.
As shown in Figure 1, acousto-optic Q modulation laser operation principle, acousto-optic Q modulation technology is to adjust Q by changing the caused diffraction loss of ultrasonic field of periodicity alternation in acousto-optic medium.Acoustooptic Q-switching 1 is comprised of radio freqnency generator 1-1, electro-acoustic transducer 1-2, acousto-optic medium 1-3 and sound-absorbing material 1-5 etc.For CO
2laser, acousto-optic medium adopts Ge material conventionally.In resonant cavity interpolation, enter acoustooptic Q-switching, when the high-frequency oscillation signal of radio frequency (RF) power generation is added on the transducer of Q switching, make the variation of the refractive index generating period of acousto-optic medium, form " phase grating " of equivalence, when incident beam 1-4 passes through acousto-optic medium, produce Bragg diffraction.For 0 grade of incident light, can produce 1 order diffraction light (outgoing beam 1-6), have 2 θ
iangle deviating, this angle deflects away from outside resonant cavity light wave, resonant cavity is in the high loss state of low reactance-resistance ratio, thereby accumulated a large amount of inverted populations at upper energy level, but now can not produce laser generation, in other words with Q switching by laser " shutoff ".When the cut effect of high-frequency signal, the ultrasonic field in acousto-optic medium disappears, and resonant cavity sports high Q state of value, and a large amount of inverted populations transit to laser lower level, just form giant pulse Laser output, and now Q switching is equivalent to " opening ".Q value alternately changes once, just exports a laser pulse.
The first technical scheme embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 2, this high repetition frequency, narrow pulse width CO
2laser comprises laser tube for generation of laser gain, the resonant cavity of selecting for generation of laser generation and wavelength, for realizing the acoustooptic Q-switching of pulse laser output and controlling the controller of the parameters such as laser repetition rate, duty ratio.

2the level crossing that laser part sees through, its material is ZnSe.In laser tube 3, be filled with Xe gas, the CO of ratio 1:3:8:30
2gas, He gas and H
2gas, total gas pressure 30 holders, make to produce laser gain in laser tube by electric discharge, and the acoustooptic Q-switching 1 of two Ge materials inserts in chamber, adopts Bragg diffraction vertical incidence mode, for generation of Repetition Frequency Laser, exports; Two acoustooptic Q-switchings 1 respectively connect a signal generator 5, and signal generator 5, for accurately controlling the operating state of acoustooptic Q-switching 1, comes and goes vibration situation thereby control oscillating laser bundle in chamber.In this scheme, adopt delay controller 6 to connect two acoustooptic Q-switchings 1, for accurately controlling opening and off state of each acoustooptic Q-switching 1, make opening and turn-offing of two acoustooptic Q-switching intervals, thereby the repetition rate that realizes Output of laser doubles.
