摘要:
A method is disclosed for generating a sub-nanosecond pulse laser, using a voltage-increased type electro-optical Q-switched laser. The method includes: applying a square wave driving signal on a Pockels cell in an electro-optical Q-switched laser by using a Q-switch driver module, where the peak voltage of the square wave driving signal is higher than the quarter-wave voltage of the Pockels cell; and performing, by controlling the loss related to the electro-optical Q switch with a voltage of the driving signal increasing from 0 to the peak voltage, a change of the working state of the electro-optical Q switch from a switched-off state to a switched-on state, and then to a partially-switched-on state. The intracavity laser is exhausted within a quite short time, so that the pulse width of the laser is shortened, to implement sub-nanosecond operation of a pulse laser.

A solid-state laser system may include first and second solid-state laser units, a wavelength conversion system, an optical shutter, and a controller. The first solid-state laser unit and the second solid-state laser unit may output first pulsed laser light with a first wavelength and second pulsed laser light with a second wavelength, respectively. The controller may perform first control and second control. The first control may cause the first and second pulsed laser light to enter the wavelength conversion system at a substantially coincidental timing, thereby causing the wavelength conversion system to output third pulsed laser light with a third wavelength converted from the first wavelength and the second wavelength, and the second control may prevent the first and second pulsed laser light from entering the wavelength conversion system at the coincidental timing, thereby preventing the wavelength conversion system from outputting the third pulsed laser light.
