2-5 μm mid-infrared laser crystals have important applications in directional infrared countermeasures, anti-terrorism, biomedicine, environmental monitoring, optical communications, strong field physics, laser fusion, and mid-to-far infrared (nonlinear frequency conversion) basic light sources, etc. With the related development of the pump source technology of semiconductor laser (laser diode, LD), solid-state laser and fiber laser (including resonant pump), mid-infrared crystal has become one of the four main laser crystals developed currently.

1. 2   ~ 2.3 μm laser crystals doped with Tm3+ Compared with the 2 μm band (3F4 → 3H6) of Tm3+, the 2.3 μm laser operation based on the 3H4 → 3H5 transition of the Tm3+ doped laser medium has the following advantages: (1) ~790 nm LD is directly pumped to the upper energy level of the laser. Tm3+ has a strong absorption around 790 nm (directly corresponding to the 3H4 → 3H6 transition), which can match the emission wavelength of the current mature commercial AlGaAs LD, so as to realize high-performance LD pumping all-solid-state high-efficiency 2.3 μm laser operation.

Introduction High-power all-solid-state deep ultraviolet (DUV) lasers have many important applications in scientific research, medical diagnosis, and industrial manufacturing, such as Raman spectroscopy, photobioimaging, integrated circuit etching, and precision micromachining, due to their compact structure, high single-photon energy, and good long-term stability.

Nanoscale laser damage precursorsDifferent from microscopic defects, defects are called precursors here. Defects generally refer to observable microstructures that are different from the characteristics of the surrounding matrix materials, and are often observed by optical microscopy. The precursors mentioned in this article generally cannot be directly observed by optical methods, and there is no obvious difference in characteristics from the surrounding matrix materials.

Based on the basic principles of laser damage, researchers have found a breaking through point to solve the problem of laser damage to optical components. But it is very difficult to effectively suppress the source of laser damage in the manufacturing process. Given the variety and complexity of the manufacturing process of optical components, it is necessary to establish the link between the defect formation and the manufacturing process.

Laser damage induced by microscopic defects in optical componentsNodule defect is a typical representative of microscopic defects, and it is one of the main discoveries in the study of laser damage to thin films in the 1990s. At present, a lot of research has been done on the electric field enhancement and damage characteristics of nodule defects and artificially implanted nodule defects. The damage mechanism of nodular defects has been deeply understood.The nodule defect is the main cause of damage to the fundamental frequency dielectric membrane element.

3.2 Laser Pretreatment TechnologyLaser pretreatment is a technology that uses sub-threshold laser energy flow to process components before they are practically used. It can effectively improve the ability of some optical components to resist laser damage. The main function of laser pretreatment is to remove defects or reduce thermodynamic response under laser irradiation.

Laser damage induced by microscopic defects in optical componentsAccording to the above numerical analysis results, it can be seen that cracks may be generated around the nodule seed and propagate along the radial direction.

As the source manufacturer of many kinds of function crystals and the leading producer of DKDP Pockels cell in China, WISOPTIC provides high cost-effective products to its customers worldwide and gains substantial trust from all of its business partners. Every year over 40% of WISOPTIC's products are exported to Europe, UK, North America, Korea, Israel, etc.Normally WISOPTIC takes parts in at least one of the important exhibitions in the industry of photonics and laser, such as Laser World of Photonics (Munich/Shanghai), SPIE Photonics West (San Francisco), KIMES (Seoul), PHOTONIX (To

3.4 Laser pretreatment of DKDP component The laser-damaged precursor of DKDP crystals (provided by WISOPTIC) is in the material body, so it is different from the removal of surface nodule defects in dielectric films. Laser pretreatment cannot remove the precursors in the body, but can only reduce the thermodynamic response of the precursors under laser radiation by improving their absorption intensity. There are still different opinions on this mechanism.
