Abstract
Coherent lidars have been widely used in various fields. Single-longitudinal mode (SLM) lasers are required as light sources of coherent lidars to enhance detection range and range resolution. In this study, we analyzed the SLM selection with a Fabry-Perot etalon about net gain difference and built a <100 kHz-linewidth Nd:YVO4 single-longitudinal mode laser with one intracavity Fabry-Perot etalon with high reflectivity. The maximum power of the single longitudinal mode 1064 nm laser was 230 mW. The laser’s power fluctuated by 27 %, and the operation switched between single and multiple longitudinal modes. This study may provide insights into the Fabry-Perot etalon’s performance about linewidth reduction and the SLM laser’s frequency and power stability.
期刊介绍:
The Journal covers the entire field of infrared physics and technology: theory, experiment, application, devices and instrumentation. Infrared'' is defined as covering the near, mid and far infrared (terahertz) regions from 0.75um (750nm) to 1mm (300GHz.) Submissions in the 300GHz to 100GHz region may be accepted at the editors discretion if their content is relevant to shorter wavelengths. Submissions must be primarily concerned with and directly relevant to this spectral region.
Its core topics can be summarized as the generation, propagation and detection, of infrared radiation; the associated optics, materials and devices; and its use in all fields of science, industry, engineering and medicine.
Infrared techniques occur in many different fields, notably spectroscopy and interferometry; material characterization and processing; atmospheric physics, astronomy and space research. Scientific aspects include lasers, quantum optics, quantum electronics, image processing and semiconductor physics. Some important applications are medical diagnostics and treatment, industrial inspection and environmental monitoring.
