INTRODUCTION

LASERs are widely used for marking, cutting,

drilling.

Works on the principle of vaporizing material CW LASER tends to heat the surrounding area of

target and also can damage substrate. target and also can damage substrate.

Short pulses are best for controlled operation. Fast, powerful pulses tend to ablate material quickly

without heating.

For many operation, the shorter the pulse the better.

FAST PULSE PRODUCTION

FAST-PULSE PRODUCTION

Simplest technique envisioned is to switch the gain

  • f the medium on and off.

Its done by switching pump energy on and off. The problem with the scheme: Delay for population inversion Delay for population inversion Sets limit in the pulse length and repetition time

CONCEPT OF Q-SWITCHING

LASER output is controlled by switching loss in the

medium

Also called Loss Switching. Loss is inserted in the cavity and hence output is

spoiled. spoiled.

Q-switch can be thought of as an optical gate

blocking optical path

ELECTROOPTIC MODULATOR

EO modulators works on the principle of birefringence. Separates incident light ray into two rays that may

travel in different direction.

It is also called Double Refraction.

Calcite is natural crystal that exhibits birefringence.

EO MODULATOR

Fastest Q-switch :: feature switching time 10ns. Large hold-of or extinction ratio :: as high as 1000:1 Suitable EO crystals :: very expensive

Driver circuitry :: very critical

High voltage capacitors required

RAMAN-NATH DIFFRACTION

Incoming beams are perpendicular to alternating

layers.

Act like parallel slits of transmission diffraction

grating.

AO MODULATOR

Requires RF drive signal at 27 to 28 MHz and

minimum power of 10 W

Low hold-of ratio :: about 10% loss in the central

beam.
