Abstract

We report on the direct generation of visible short-pulse vortex beam in a blue LD-pumped electro-optically (EO) Q-switched Pr:YLF laser. A Q-switched fundamental (TEM₀₀) mode laser has been realized with the pulse width of 52.2 ns and the single pulse energy of 22.2 μJ at the repetition rate of 10 kHz. By employing the spot-defect on the surface of the cavity mirror, the vortex modes of visible short-pulse lasers have been achieved. The laser yield Q-switched pulse width of 180.4 ns and pulse energy of 8.0 μJ at a repetition rate of 10 kHz in the first order Laguerre Gaussian (LG₀₁) mode. By adjusting the radius of spot-defect, a Q-switched pulse width of 273.5 ns and pulse energy of 6.0 μJ at a repetition rate of 10 kHz in the second order Laguerre Gaussian (LG₀₂) mode has also been achieved. This study provides an effective method for generating high energy arbitrary order visible short-pulse vortex lasers, which has promising potential in fields such as materials processing and super-resolution imaging.
