摘要
为追求光泵气体THz 激光器更高的输出功率和更好的光束质量,设计制作了金属网栅输出耦合镜,金属网栅输出耦合镜相比传统的小孔输出镜具有很多优势。详细描述了金属网栅输出耦合镜的结构,研究了金属网栅的理论模型。选择g /2a =76 μm/20 μm 和g /2a =76 μm/10 μm 这2组参数制作了金属网栅输出耦合镜,利用远红外傅里叶光谱仪对其THz 波段的透过率进行测试,根据计算仿真得到结论:随着金属网栅线宽2a 的增大,金属网栅的THz 辐射透过率增大。
Abstract
In the pursuit of increased THz laser output power and higher beam quality, hybrid metal-mesh output coupler is designed and fabricated. The advantages of hybrid metal-mesh output coupler and its structure are described in this paper. The model of metal-mesh is studied to evaluate the transmittance. g /2a =76 μm/20 μm and g /2a =76 μm/10 μm are chosen to fabricate hybrid metal-mesh output coupler, and its THz transmittance is evaluated by Far Infrared Rays(FIR) Fourier transform spectroscopy. This study and former researches show that the transmittance of metal-mesh gets higher with the increase of 2a .
