摘要
以波长为1 064 nm的线偏振脉冲激光为泵浦源,以高压氘气作为拉曼介质,实现了波长为1 560 nm的一阶拉曼S_1、波长为2 920 nm的二阶拉曼S_2和后向一阶拉曼BS_1输出。采用透镜组双次聚焦的方法将S_1的光子转化效率提高到61.5%,S_1的最大单脉冲能量达到86.3 mJ,脉宽不超过10 ns。S_2和BS_1的最高光子转化效率分别超过12%和20%。此外,通过实验论证了压力对光子转化效率的影响,给出了进一步提高S_1的光子转化效率的方法。
In this paper, the first order Raman Stokes(S_1)with wavelength of 1 560 nm and the second order Raman Stokes(S_2) with wavelength of 2 920 nm and the backward first Stokes(BS_1) are generated by using a linear polarized pulsed laser with wavelength of 1 064 nm as pumped source and high pressure deuterium gas as Raman active medium. The maximum photon conversion efficiency of S_1 is 61.5%, the maximum single pulse output energy of S_1 is 86.3 mJ, and the pulse width of S_1 is not more than 10 ns. The highest photon conversion efficiencies of S_2 and BS_1 are more than 12% and 20%, respectively. The effect of pressure of deuterium on the conversion efficiency of S_1 is also verified experimentally, and the methods to further improve conversion efficiency of S_1 are also discussed.
