Science Islandi meeskond tegi edusamme keskmise infrapuna laseriga ülitõhusa liitiumniobaadi Q-lülitustehnoloogia alal
Hiljuti tegi Hiina Teaduste Akadeemia Hefei Uurimisinstituudi Terviseinstituudi meditsiinilise lasertehnoloogia laboratooriumi teaduri Jiang Haihe uurimisrühm koostööd Hiina elektroonikatehnoloogia rühmaga ja tegi olulisi edusamme akustiliste seadmete uurimisel. optiline Q-lülitustehnoloogia keskmises infrapunaribas: esimest korda on realiseeritud liitiumniobaadi (LiNbO3) kristallid. Akusto-optilised lülitid ja nende ülitõhus Q-lülitusega väljund 2,79 μm Er,Cr:YSGG laserites. Vastavad tulemused on avaldatud rahvusvahelises optikaajakirjas Optics Letters.
Lithium niobate crystal is a traditional multifunctional crystal. In recent years, lithium niobate thin-film photonic devices with extremely low optical loss and rich photoelectric functions have developed rapidly. Lithium niobate is expected to replace silicon materials in the field of integrated photonics. Problems provide solutions. Since the discovery of lithium niobate crystal in 1937, although it has good acousto-optic properties and has been used as a transducer material for a long time, it has not been able to realize the laser acousto-optic Q-switching switch of bulk crystals. This research has realized the homogeneity and integration of the acousto-optic medium and the transducer, which can simplify the manufacturing process, reduce the auxiliary cost, and also reduce the loss of ultrasonic energy, so that the diffraction efficiency of the lithium niobate Q-switch can reach 57%. And the lithium niobate crystal has a high damage resistance threshold (>200 MW/cm2).
