Specific embodiment
Laser and laser mode locking technology of the present invention does description below.
1, continuous laser
The laser seed source used in the present invention is different from the shorter laser of pulse width in the prior art, but uses The spectrum for exporting laser has the continuous laser of single-frequency or narrow linewidth characteristic.
The working principle of continuous wave laser is: under the action of external source, the light wave that gain media generates can be Roundtrip between former and later two hysteroscopes of resonant cavity.On laterally (perpendicular to the direction of laser transmission), the only direction of propagation It is parallel to the light wave of resonance cavity direction, can just pass repeatedly through gain media, is persistently amplified, the light in other directions is by repeatedly anti- Hysteroscope will be gradually deflected away from after penetrating, is finally depleted, and cannot be stabilized.Therefore, resonant cavity, which plays, horizontally selects light The effect of the spatial model of beam, i.e. transverse mode selection.Secondly, in the longitudinal direction (direction for being parallel to laser transmission), only meeting standing wave The light wave of condition can be just stabilized, and therefore, resonant cavity also plays modeling effect, i.e. longitudinal mode selection, such as Fig. 4 (a) in the longitudinal direction It is shown.
The longitudinal mode for finally capableing of starting of oscillation in resonant cavity is also related with the loss of bandwidth resonant cavity of gain media.Gain is situated between There are certain gain bandwidths for matter, only the longitudinal mode within the scope of gain bandwidth, are possible to be amplified, in Fig. 4 (b) Bold portion.There is the longitudinal mode that round-trip gain in one week is greater than loss in resonant cavity that can just be progressively amplified, ultimately form laser, Such as Fig. 4 (c).
The light field of any one longitudinal mode can be expressed as
Wherein, Em、fm、kmIt is amplitude, the frequency, wave mistake, initial phase of m-th of longitudinal mode respectively, L is Resonant Intake System Degree, c is the light velocity, km=2 π nmfm/ c, nmFor the refractive index of m-th of longitudinal mode.
The light field of laser output is the superposition of the longitudinal mode light field of all starting of oscillations, is expressed as
Wherein, fm=f0+ m Δ f, f0For centre carrier frequency, by kmExpression formula substitutes into formula (2) and obtains
The initial phase of each longitudinal mode light field of general laser is independent of one another, is in random distribution, each longitudinal mode light field cannot Form effective coherent superposition, the laser energy of final output is in continuously distributed, therefore referred to as continuous laser in time.Such as figure Shown in 5, phase random distribution will lead to that carrier wave direction of vibration is disorderly and unsystematic, can not form lasting coherent enhancement or weakening.Even The light intensity of continuous laser locally can also have certain random fluctuation.This random fluctuation, can with the increase of longitudinal mode number and It is gradually reduced.The light intensity of continuous light is the superposition of each longitudinal mode light intensity, if each longitudinal mode light intensity is equal, final continuous laser is averaged Light intensity is NI0, wherein N is longitudinal mode number, I0For longitudinal mode light intensity.
2, laser mode locking
It, then can be with so that have determining phase relation between each longitudinal mode when taking laser special modulation means Make to generate coherent superposition between each longitudinal mode, generate ultrashort laser pulse, this technology is known as laser mode locking technology.
Assuming that the initial phase of each longitudinal mode is all locked to zero phase, i.e.,Then formula (3) can be written as
Enable the amplitude of each longitudinal mode equal, i.e. Em=E0, can be obtained using Euler's formula exp (jx)=cos (x)+jsin (x) Cos (x)=Re [exp (jx)], j are imaginary symbols, and Re is the operator for taking real part, then formula (4) can be written as
Utilize the sum formula of geometric progressionThe amplitude expression formula of light field can be acquired
Light intensity is laying flat for light wave electric field amplitude mode, for the specific position of laser resonant cavity, such as z=0, then
As shown in fig. 6, light intensity waveform is periodically pulsing sequence when multiple longitudinal modes are locked in zero phase.Pulse period It is the inverse of longitudinal mode spacing, i.e. Tr=1/ Δ f=2L/c, that is, laser time needed for round trip in resonant cavity.Arteries and veins Width is rushed to reduce, t available by formula (7) with the increase of longitudinal mode numberp=1/N Δ f=Tr/ N, i.e. pulse width It is also the 1/N of laser pulse period for the inverse of laser longitudinal module total bandwidth.The peak light intensity of pulse is N2I0, more flat than continuous light Equal light intensity is N times high.It can be seen that laser longitudinal module quantity is more, pulse width is shorter, and peak value is higher.
