Compact, high-repetition-rate pulsed visible coherent light sources are attractive for many applications, such as biomedicine, remote sensing, astronomy, and displays. The Q-switched all-solid-state laser technique can be a promising approach to attain such light sources. Moreover, due to the high nonlinearity and highly engineerable characteristics of the quasi-phase-matching(QPM) material, a device as simultaneous a Q-switch and wavelength converter can be realized in a two-dimensional aperiodically poled lithium niobate (APPLN).
In this thesis, we have designed and fabricated a unique 2D APPLN device integrating the functionalities of the Q-switch for two laser lines(1064nm and 1342 nm) simultaneously and sum frequency generator in a Nd:YVO4 laser system to generate pulsed yellow-orange laser, the such device was designed by aperiodic optical superlattice(AOS) technique and optimized by simulated annealing(SA) method.
In operation, 350 volts at repetition rate of 1 KHz drove the device, while the diffraction efficiencies of 1064 nm and 1342 nm of 60 % and 55 % were measured, respectively. At diode pump power of 5.7 watts, a yellow-orange pulse with pulse width of 8.4 ns, bandwidth of 0.4 nm, and peak power of 512 can be obtained, meanwhile, the peak-to-peak fluctuation of 8.9% was also found. |
