一种阵列半导体激光器的窄线宽光谱合束装置A Narrow Linewidth Spectral Beam Combiner for Arrayed Semiconductor Lasers

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及半导体激光技术领域,具体涉及一种阵列半导体激光器的窄线宽光谱合束装置。The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor lasers, in particular to a narrow-linewidth spectral beam combining device for an array semiconductor laser.

背景技术Background technique

半导体激光器具有效率高、体积小、寿命长、波长丰富和可以直接电驱动等诸多优点,但其光束质量以及单个发光单元输出功率极大限制了它的应用领域。而外腔反馈光谱合束是一种提高阵列半导体激光器亮度和光束质量的有效方法,极大提高了半导体激光器的性能。Semiconductor lasers have many advantages such as high efficiency, small size, long life, rich wavelengths, and direct electrical drive, but their beam quality and output power of a single light-emitting unit greatly limit its application fields. External cavity feedback spectral beam combining is an effective method to improve the brightness and beam quality of arrayed semiconductor lasers, which greatly improves the performance of semiconductor lasers.

外腔光谱合束实现多路激光在近场和远场同时空间重叠,合成至单一孔径输出的激光,合束后整体的光束质量和单个发光单元接近,输出功率是单个发光单元的N倍。但由于光栅的色散和外腔反馈的作用,使得各个激光单元起振在不同波长,导致合束后的整体线宽展宽。因此,阵列半导体激光器的光谱合束技术在泵浦激光器等一些要求窄线宽的领域应用非常受限。The external cavity spectral beam combination realizes the spatial overlap of multiple lasers in the near field and far field at the same time, and synthesizes the laser output into a single aperture. After the beam combination, the overall beam quality is close to that of a single light-emitting unit, and the output power is N times that of a single light-emitting unit. However, due to the dispersion of the grating and the feedback of the external cavity, each laser unit oscillates at different wavelengths, resulting in broadening of the overall linewidth after beam combining. Therefore, the spectral beam combining technology of arrayed semiconductor lasers is very limited in some fields requiring narrow linewidths such as pump lasers.

通常高功率的光谱合束输出需要多个阵列半导体激光参与合束,但是单个阵列半导体激光器光谱合束后输出光束的整体线宽,决定了能够参与光谱合束的阵列半导体激光器个数。而且整体线宽随着参与光谱合束的阵列半导体激光器个数增加而增大,若单个阵列半导体激光器的光谱合束线宽太宽,则增益带宽允许参与光谱合束的半导体激光阵列的个数就会下降。同时光栅的高衍射效率只存在一定波长范围,参与光谱合束的阵列半导体激光器个数增加的越多,则偏离光栅最大衍射效率的波长越远,整体的光谱合束效率就会降低。如果以牺牲效率来换取多个阵列半导体激光器的光谱合束,那样半导体激光器高转换效率的优势将得不到体现。因此,实现单个阵列半导体激光器光谱合束后的窄线宽输出,成为实现多个阵列半导体激光器光谱合束的关键。Usually high-power spectral beam combining output requires multiple array semiconductor lasers to participate in beam combining, but the overall linewidth of the output beam after spectral combining of a single array semiconductor laser determines the number of array semiconductor lasers that can participate in spectral beam combining. Moreover, the overall linewidth increases as the number of array semiconductor lasers participating in spectral beam combining increases. If the spectral beam combining linewidth of a single array semiconductor laser is too wide, the gain bandwidth allows the number of semiconductor laser arrays participating in spectral beam combining. will drop. At the same time, the high diffraction efficiency of the grating only exists in a certain wavelength range. The more the number of array semiconductor lasers participating in the spectral beam combining increases, the farther the wavelength deviates from the maximum diffraction efficiency of the grating, and the overall spectral beam combining efficiency will decrease. If efficiency is sacrificed in exchange for spectral beam combining of multiple array semiconductor lasers, the advantages of high conversion efficiency of semiconductor lasers will not be reflected. Therefore, realizing the narrow linewidth output after spectral combining of a single array of semiconductor lasers has become the key to realizing the spectral combining of multiple arrays of semiconductor lasers.

目前,为了获得窄线宽光谱合束输出,一般采用长焦距传输透镜、高刻线密度衍射光栅以及光栅对等方法来压缩光谱线宽,但这些方法都会造成外腔长度大幅增加、合束效率下降、成本增高等负面影响。At present, in order to obtain narrow linewidth spectral beam combining output, methods such as long focal length transmission lens, high-line density diffraction grating and grating pair are generally used to compress the spectral linewidth, but these methods will cause a large increase in the length of the external cavity and reduce the beam combining efficiency. Negative effects such as decline and cost increase.
