  • 全固态被动调Q激光器的非线性动力学行为是影响其输出特性的关键因素. 本文通过数值模拟研究了泵浦调制下全固态被动调Q Nd:YAG/Cr:YAG激光器的非线性动力学行为, 讨论了关键调制参量对调Q激光非线性动力学及其输出特性的影响. 仿真结果表明, 在特定的调制频率、调制幅度以及未调制泵浦速率下, 调Q激光可以表现出单周期态、倍周期态、多周期态以及混沌态. 通过分析调Q激光脉冲峰值随调制频率、调制幅度以及未调制泵浦速率变化的分岔图, 发现脉冲峰值主要经倍周期和准周期演化路径进入混沌. 此外, 脉冲频率(即相邻脉冲时间间隔的倒数)进入混沌的演化路径与脉冲峰值的演化路径一致, 但脉冲频率强度变化趋势与脉冲峰值强度变化趋势相反. 研究结果理论上揭示了泵浦调制关键参量对激光器的非线性动力学行为及其输出特性具有显著影响, 并为进一步实验深入探究其演化机制提供了重要的指导.

     

    All-solid-state passively Q-switched lasers can exhibit nonlinear behaviors such as period-doubling, injection locking, and chaos under specific conditions, offering new applications in fields like secure communication and random number generation. As a result, the nonlinear dynamics of laser systems are becoming increasingly important. Pump modulation is a typical method of controlling the nonlinear dynamical states of solid-state lasers. In this work, the nonlinear dynamical characteristics of an all-solid-state passively Q-switched Nd:YAG/Cr:YAG laser under pump modulation are investigated by solving a four-level rate equation system using the Runge-Kutta method. The results demonstrate that by adjusting key parameters including modulation frequency, modulation amplitude, and unmodulated pump rate, the laser system can exhibit rich dynamical states, including period-one, period-two, multi-period, and chaotic pulsation. By analyzing the bifurcation diagram, the evolution pattern of output laser pulse characteristics with parameter changes is revealed. The system mainly enters chaos through period-doubling and quasi-periodic routes, while exhibiting a unique phenomenon where the pulse peak and pulse frequency follow synchronized evolutionary paths but with opposite trends in intensity variation, indicating dynamic coupling effects between frequency and intensity domains. By constructing the nonlinear dynamical distributions within a three-dimensional pump modulation parameter space, the combined effects of modulation frequency, modulation amplitude, and unmodulated pump rate on the evolution of the laser’s nonlinear dynamics are systematically investigated in this work. The results show that at lower unmodulated pump rates, the system cannot be driven into nonlinear states even when the modulation amplitude and frequency are relatively large. In contrast, under higher unmodulated pump rates, the appropriate tuning of modulation amplitude and frequency enables the system to transition from periodic states to chaotic behavior. This work not only elucidates the modulation mechanisms of pump parameters on the nonlinear dynamics of lasers, but also provides theoretical guidance for optimizing laser output performance and designing high-performance chaotic lasers, which is of great significance in promoting the applications of Q-switched lasers in precision measurement and secure communication fields.
