Description of drawings
Below in conjunction with drawings and Examples the present invention is further described:
Fig. 1 is the structural representation of transmission-type body Bragg grating mode-locked laser of the present invention;
Fig. 2 is the structural representation of the reflective body Bragg grating of the present invention mode-locked laser;
Wherein: 1 semiconductor laser, 2 external resonant cavities, 2-1 collimating lens, 2-2 transmission-type body Bragg grating, the reflective body Bragg grating of 2-3,2-4 speculum.
Embodiment
Embodiment 1: with reference to shown in Figure 1, a kind of transmission-type body Bragg grating mode-locked laser, comprise a broadband semiconductor laser 1 as LASER Light Source, its outgoing laser beam process is by collimating lens 2-1, the external resonant cavity 2 that transmission-type body Bragg grating 2-2 and speculum 2-4 constitute obtains the stable outgoing laser beam of narrow bandwidth.
This transmission-type body Bragg grating 2-2 can carry out spectrum narrowing and angle Selection to incident laser, selected certain narrow linewidth pattern will be gone out from elementary beam in deflection, and diffraction will not take place in the laser beam of other all patterns, directly pass grating, the laser beam of diffraction does not take place as the main output of external resonant cavity.Collimating lens 2-1 provides the noise spectra of semiconductor lasers coupling that 1 output laser is dispersed naturally and the angular selectivity of transmission-type body Bragg grating 2-2.The transmission-type body Bragg grating 2-2 that adopts among this embodiment has for necessary wavelength and surpasses 95% transmission mode diffraction efficiency, its diffraction direction as shown in Figure 1, speculum 2-4 is with diffraction light reflected back transmission-type body Bragg grating 2-2, and returned in the gain media of semiconductor laser 1 resonant cavity by further diffraction, excited amplification again.Determined by the bandwidth of the breadth of spectrum line of the laser of twice diffraction by transmission-type body Bragg grating 2-2, and its wavelength is by cycle and the inclination angle decision of grating.By the locked mode effect of transmission-type body Bragg grating 2-2, finally can obtain breadth of spectrum line less than the outgoing laser beam of 0.1 nanometer like this.
Reflective body Bragg grating 2-3 can be with the laser reflection feedback of a certain pattern, and along the opposite light path return laser light source of former incident beam, and the laser of other all patterns will be through grating.The reflective body Bragg grating 2-3 that adopts has for necessary wavelength and surpasses 95% reflective-mode diffraction efficiency, and its reflection direction as shown in Figure 2.Collimating lens 2-1 eliminates the high-order scattering light of lasing light emitter outgoing orthogonal direction.The angular selectivity of this reflective body Bragg grating 2-3 is matched with the transverse mode of collimating lens 2-1, and by the feasible light beam return laser light gain media that reflects feedback of suitable adjustment, final this laser beam obtains breadth of spectrum line less than the shoot laser of 0.1 nanometer thus as the main output of external resonant cavity 2.
Adopt transmission-type or reflective body Bragg grating to have following some advantage as the laser of external resonant cavity 2.Because the body Bragg grating is non-dispersivity, incoming laser beam can incide on the body Bragg grating with very little size collimation, still keeps higher diffraction efficiency of grating simultaneously.Therefore the length of the external resonant cavity of laser can shorten greatly, increases the stability of laser, and the laser overall volume is dwindled, and is applicable to portable instrument.The body Bragg grating also helps the angle of divergence that reduces laser beam, thereby improves the spatial brightness of laser beam.
The above only is the embodiment of invention.Protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and anyly is familiar with those skilled in the art in the technical scope that the present invention discloses, and the variation that can expect easily or replacement all should be encompassed within protection scope of the present invention.Therefore, protection scope of the present invention should be as the criterion with the protection range that claim was defined.
