百焦耳固体激光器高效三倍频系统设计及实验分析-design and experimental analysis of a high efficiency triple frequency system for a hundred joule solid state laser.docx

AbstractAs a critical part of the hundred-joule solid laser, a frequency tripling system with high beam quality, high operation stability and high efficiency has important significance on reducing operation risk and requirement for input intensity as well as improving absorption efficiency. In this dissertation, contraposing the Nd-doped phosphate glass laser system with 100J energy output, schemes of frequency tripling are systematically studied and simulated. In addition, the offline and online experiments are carried out.This thesis is divided into three parts. The first one is the study and simulation of schemes of frequency tripling. The second part is system disturbances analysis and suppression measures. And the third part is experimental research on high efficiency frequency tripling system.Optimized design of frequency tripling is the basis of achieving efficient and stable output light. In this dissertation, by the derivation of coupled wave equations, theoretical model is established. Based on this model, efficient frequency tripling system is designed, including algebraic comparision of two schemes, optimization of crystals and the control methods under different user needs. Ultimately II/II polarization mismatch scheme is adopted and thicknesses of crystals are both 14mm. By controlling the entire module with deflecting, pitching and rolling, the angles of doubler, tripler and polarization are adjusted accurately.System disturbances analysis is an important prerequisite for operation stablity. In this thesis, electric-field amplitude ripple caused by noise, transmission diffraction modulation, temperature perturbation, electric-field time waveform, distortion of crystal and mechanical vibration are analyzed. The result shows that when the noise modulation depth is shallow, it has little influence on the system. When the modulation depth increaces to 0.07, the frequency tripling efficiency will drop more than 10%. For other disturbances, the correspondi
