高功率固態雷射因為熱透鏡效應的影響,使得我們不容易去維持光束發散角、光束直徑的穩定性,而隨著激勵功率越強,熱透鏡效應越大,熱透鏡焦距也越短,甚至可能使共振腔由穩態變成非穩態。傳統上對於避免熱透鏡效應的方法,通常使用在共振腔中加入一些元件,藉著調整各元件之間的距離來消除其熱透鏡效應,使其光束品質更趨近於穩定性
本論文針對Nd:YAG和Nd:YVO4晶體在共振腔中的穩定性來做討論。我們將介紹如何使用高斯光束傳遞原則以及ABCD矩陣法去求出晶體被激勵之後的熱源公式,再進一步將其導入有限元素法的程式中去求出晶體中的溫度分布,如此一來,則我們可以利用晶體的溫度梯度分布去算出晶體在不同時間下的熱透鏡焦距,最後再將晶體的熱透鏡效應導入共振腔的穩定性條件中,去判斷晶體因熱透鏡效應對於共振腔的穩定性所造成的影響。當激勵功率為0.5W的狀況下,Nd:YAG晶體和Nd:YVO4晶體的熱透鏡焦距分別為431 m和164 m,我們可以發現Nd:YVO4晶體受到熱透鏡效應的影響較大。
另一方面,對於晶體因熱所造成的效率問題,我們也將在晶體上加裝各種不同的散熱結構,去模擬出在散熱的架構下,晶體的溫度和沒有加散熱架構的晶體其溫度的比較,並討論當晶體加了散架架構之後,其熱透鏡效應和沒有加散熱架構的晶體何者較為嚴重。
Because of the thermal-lensing effect, it is very difficult to keep the stability of the laser beam’s divergence angle in a high power solid state laser. With the increase in the input pump power, the thermal-lensing effect becomes severe.
This thesis discusses the stability of Nd:YAG and Nd:YVO4 in the resonance cavity. A stimulation program was built to predict the heat source formula in the crystal with the methods of Fresel’s propagation and Gaussian beam ABCD matrix method. We can, therefore, find the temperature profile in the crystal and calculate the focal length of the crystal after different time durations. Finally we discuss the stable condition of resonance cavity with the presence of the induced thermal-lensing effect. Under the input pump power of 0.5W, the induced focal length of Nd:YAG and Nd:YVO4 are estimated to be 431 m and 164 m, respectively. Therefore, we conclude that thermal-lensing effect has a greater impact on the laser systems based on Nd:YVO4 than on Nd:YAG.
On the other hand, to improve the lasing efficiency and stability, the heat dissipation structures are often required on the crystal. The comparison of the thermal-lensing effect with and without the heat dissipation structure is also presented.
