摘要
En 中文
Vortex beams, known as a typical form of structured light, possess numerous applications in various fields. Their widespread application prospects have then sparked an in-depth analysis of the generation and manipulation of vortex modes in an active cavity, as well as the development of high-performance vortex lasers. In this paper, we report on a new class of highly efficient and high-power Nd:YAG vortex lasers in a robust and compact configuration, which allows direct generation of vortex beams with an easily controllable topological charge both in the continuous-wave and pulsed operation regimes. The on-demand generation of intracavity vortex modes is realized based on a Q-plate by controlling the geometric phase inside the laser resonator. The maximum output power in the continuous-wave regime is 4.11 W with a slope efficiency of 37.9%. Besides, the vortex pulses are also achieved by including a Cr:YAG crystal in the cavity as a saturable absorber. The shortest pulse width is 142.8 ns at a pulse repetition rate of 232.6 kHz, with a maximum average output power of 1.05 W. Vortex modes with other topological charges can be obtained by simply changing the corresponding Q-plate without sacrificing the lasing efficiency. The experimental results can shed some light on the design and building of highly efficient and high-power vortex lasers together with a well-defined controllable topological charge, aiming at some specific applications.
