摘要
针对激光测距、激光雷达、自动驾驶等领域对体积小、重量轻的 1.5µm波段光源的迫切需求,设计了一款紧凑型激光测距用铒玻璃激光器.该型激光器具有体积小、重量轻、免温控的特点,并对其输出特性进行了实验研究.实验证明,使用 940 nm半导体激光器泵浦,在输出功率 12 W,泵浦脉宽 1.6 ms,泵浦重复频率 10 Hz,被动调Q晶体T0=92%,输出镜反射率R=90%条件下,输出中心波长 1 535 nm脉冲激光,脉冲宽度 5 ns,单脉冲能量 502µJ,重复频率 10 Hz,激光器结构紧凑,结构尺寸为 32 mm×12 mm×8 mm,重量<10 g.激光器在无温控的条件下,可在-40~60℃环境温度下稳定工作,可被广泛应用于便携手持激光测距仪、无人机、无人车等领域.
