摘要:
The invention relates to a pulsed laser (10) with an optical fibre and frequency shifting for amplifying high-energy sub-picosecond pulses, including an oscillator (1), a fibre stretcher (3), one or more preamplification stages and one power amplification stage including an erbium doped or erbium-ytterbium codoped optical fibre section (4, 7), a pump (8) suitable for optically pumping by coupling in the optical fibre of the power amplifier (7) and a compressor (9). According to the invention, the pump (8) of the power stage generates at least one pump wavelength λP between 1530 and 1565 nm, the laser pulse emission wavelength (20) is between 1565 and 1625 nm and the energy of the laser pulses (20) is between 10 nJ and several dozen μJ. The invention also relates to a tool for eye surgery including such a laser.
摘要:
According to an aspect, the invention relates to a frequency conversion cell (10) including: a nonlinear, birefringent crystal (12), characterized by a first phase matching wavelength and having an input surface (121 A ) for receiving at least one incident beam, an output surface (121 B ) for emitting at least one frequency-converted beam, and at least two parallel surfaces (120 A , 120 B ), different from the input and output surfaces; and means (14, 14 A ) for applying an external mechanical force onto at least one of said parallel surfaces (120 A ), referred to as "force application" surface, thus resulting in a variation in the birefringence of the nonlinear crystal. The value of the applied external mechanical force is predetermined such as to obtain the phase matching in the nonlinear crystal at a second phase matching wavelength different from the first phase matching wavelength.
