摘要: 报道了采用激光二极管端面抽运的Nd:YVO4晶体连续自拉曼激光器的实验研究.通过对晶体掺杂浓度及晶体结构的选择优化,减轻自拉曼晶体的热效应,实现了结构紧凑的1175 nm连续自拉曼激光器的高效运转.最终以两端键合的复合Nd:YVO4晶体作为自拉曼介质,在25.5 W的抽运功率下,获得了最高3.4 W的1175 nm连续拉曼光输出,光光转换效率为13.3%,拉曼阈值低至2.21 W,斜效率为14.6%.Abstract: In this paper, an LD (laser diode) end-pumped continuous-wave Nd:YVO4 self-Raman laser at 1175 nm is reported. The doping concentration and structure of the self-Raman crystals are optimized to reduce the thermal effects of the crystal, and a high-efficient diode-end-pumped continuous-wave self-Raman laser operated at 1175 nm is demonstrated. Finally, the thermal effects are efficiently improved by using a double-end diffusion-bonded composite Nd:YVO4 crystal as a gain medium. An output power up to 3.4 W of the first-order Stokes line 1175 nm is achieved at the incident diode pump power of 25.5 W, corresponding to a diode-to-Stokes optical conversion efficiency of 13.3% and a slope efficiency of 14.6%. The Raman threshold is as low as 2.21 W of diode power at 808 nm.
