The Study of Quasi-Three-Level Passively Q-Switched Blue Laser

The purpose of this thesis is to develop a high power, compact all solid-state blue laser, which is applicable in micro machining, LIDA, underwater ranging, biochemical techniques and so forth. The passive Q-switching technique, which is known to be a low-cost and simple method to raise the laser peak power was employed in this thesis. In the mean time, the intracavity-doubling technique was integrated to achieve the non-linear frequency conversion for generating blue laser at low cost.
Based on our research finding, the reabsorption loss due to thermal effect and a paucity of suppression at wavelength of 1064 nm on laser mirrors could cause the four-level oscillation at 1064 nm instead of three-level oscillation at 914nm. Improvement in heat dissipating system, and suppression at wavelength of 1064 nm on mirror coating has led to a success in developing a quasi-three-level blue laser with peak power of 114W at wavelength 473 nm.
A modified rate equation model of the quasi-three level passively Q-switched blue lasers was developed as well, in which the influence of the re-absorption loss in the gain medium and its intracavity frequency doubling were both considered. The influence of reabsorption loss upon the laser power deduction was studied by numerical simulation in order to optimize the laser performance.
