GLASS FIBER LASER SYSTEM USING U-DOPED CRYSTAL Q-SWITCH |
摘要 |
A glass fiber laser system includes a laser resonator cavity having a resonant path and an erbium-doped glass fiber lasing element with an output of from about 1.5 to about 1.6 micrometers within the laser resonator cavity. A light source directed into an input end of the glass fiber lasing element optically pumps the lasing element to emit light. A passive Q-switch lies along the resonant path within the laser resonator cavity. The Q-switch is formed of a host material having a concentration of uranium ions therein, so as to be a saturable absorber of the light emitted by the lasing element. The Q-switch is preferably a uranium-doped fluoride crystal such as U:CaF2, U:SrF2, or U:BaF2.
