摘要
等离子体普克尔盒可以采用薄晶体,是大口径平均功率激光器理想的光开关器件。采用有限元方法,分析了20 mm口径重复频率等离子体电光开关的热光效应,模拟计算了在平均功率负荷下,3 mm厚的DKDP晶体由于热致双折射引起的退偏损耗为0.16%。采用电容分压技术,实现了基于DKDP晶体的等离子体电光开关的单脉冲驱动,通过针对重复频率等离子体普克尔盒的优化设计,研制完成了Φ20 mm口径、10 Hz重复频率等离子体电光开关样机,静态透射率97.2%,开关效率99.8%,开关上升时间11 ns。
Abstract
Plasma Pockels cell,which can use a thin crystal to perform the uniform electro-optical effect,is an ideal component as average-power optical switch with large aperture. With average power load,the thermal effect of the DKDP crystal is analyzed by use of finite element methods. With 5 J/10Hz laser irradiation,the depolarization loss on 3 mm thickness DKDP is 0.16%. A repetition rate plasma Pockels cell of 10 Hz with Φ20mm aperture has been fabricated. It is optimized with the limited space of repetition rate diode pumped laser. The specificationes of the plasma Pockels cell are static transition of 97.2%;switching efficiency of 99.8%,and the switch rising time of 11 ns.
