钛空腔靶高强度keV X射线源的实验研究

利用神光-Ⅲ原型激光装置实验研究了8束ns激光脉冲从一端注入钛空腔靶产生的keV X射线源的辐射特征,发现keV X射线主要产生于腔轴附近;钛空腔靶内径过大时keV X射线能流的峰值强度较低,内径过小时keV X射线能流的持续时间较短。为了在4π空间内使钛空腔靶获得最大的X射线(4~7keV能段)转换效率,腔内径的最优值在1000~1300μm附近,此时的keV X射线转换效率为4.7%,是相同激光参数下钛平面靶的2倍左右。激光单端注入有底部钛膜和无底部钛膜的空腔靶对比实验显示,底膜能够增强keV X射线的发射。     

黑腔靶X光转换,输运的定量测量

为了测量黑腔靶X光引光效率、转换效率,我们设计了相应的分解靶(泄漏靶)实验,1989～1992年在″神光″装置上共进行了四次漏靶分解实验,利用灵敏度作了绝对标定的平响应X光二极管对漏靶注入孔、引光孔流出的X光角分布进行了测量,测出了x光角分布,得到了黑腔靶X光转换效率为50％～60％,引光效率约6％,为以后辐射驱动内爆研究的理论计算和靶的优化设计提供了重要的数据。

High X-ray conversion efficiency with target irradiation by a frequency tripled Nd : Glass laser

High conversion efficiency of laser energy into X-rays from a laser irradiated target is of great interest for a variety of dynamical (pulsed) studies, e.g.: radiography of laser-imploded targets, structure determination by diffraction and absorption fine-structure, and X-ray laser pumping. We report here on a frequency tripled Nd : glass laser used to irradiate targets of various materials at ～5 x 10¹⁴W/cm². We find conversion efficiencies of between 1% and 0.1% (with respect to the incident laser energy) for individual X-ray lines between 1.8 and 7.8 keV. These efficiencies are more than an order of magnitude higher than whose achieved with 1.06 μm lasers.

Experiments and analysis of gold disk targets irradiated by smoothing beams of Xingguang II facilities with 350 nm wavelength

Gold disk targets were irradiated using focusing and beam smoothing methods on Xingguang (XG-II) laser facilities with 350 nm wavelength, 0.6 ns pulse width and 20-80 Joules energies. Laser absorption, light scattering and X-ray conversion were experimentally investigated. The experimental results showed that laser absorption and scattered light were about 90% and 10%, respectively, under focusing irradiation, but the laser absorption increased 5%-10% and the scattered light about 1% under the condition of beam smoothing. Compared with the case of focusing irradiation, the laser absorption was effectively improved and the scattered light remarkably dropped under uniform irradiation; then due to the decrease in laser intensity, X-ray conversion increased. This is highly advantageous to the inertial confinement fusion. However, X-ray conversion mechanism basically did not change and X-ray conversion efficiency under beam smoothing and focusing irradiation was basically the same.     

Harmonic and sum-frequency generation of pulsed laser radiation in BBO,LBO, and KD*P

The optical properties of the nonlinear crystals lithium borate (LBO), barium borate (BBO) and deuterated potassium phosphate (KD*P) are compared for second and third harmonic generation of Nd:YAG laser radiation. In an experimental investigation the conversion efficiency has been measured as a function of the energy density of 8 ns long laser pulses, generated by a commercial Nd:YAG oscillator-amplifier system. In LBO and BBO the second harmonic generation saturates at an energy density of about 1.5 J cm^–2 at efficiencies of 55–60%. In KD*P comparable efficiencies (40–55%) require energy densities of 2–2.6 J cm^–2. Similar results are obtained for frequency tripling. In LBO and BBO saturated efficiencies of 20–25% are measured at an energy density of about 1.5 J cm^–2. In KD*P efficiencies of 20% are obtained at energy densities exceeding 2 J cm^–2. Besides for doubling and tripling of Nd:YAG laser radiation the phase-matching is calculated for frequency conversion of tunable laser light. The results demonstrate that in LBO and BBO phase-matched sum-frequency mixing of UV and infrared laser light generates tunable radiation at wavelengths as short as the transmission cut-off at 160 nm and 190 nm, respectively.

Nonlinear transmission in fibres at 308 nm

Intensity-induced variations in the energy transmittivity and temporal shape of pulses emerging from a 200-m-diameter core silica fibre have been investigated with a single-pulse XeCl laser. By coupling an XeCl laser pulse of 3mJ with a temporal width of 20 ns into a 30-m-long all-silica fibre, a total laser pulse of 1 mJ and 3 ns duration has been extracted at the fibre end. A pulse shortening larger than 80% has been observed. It is shown that the shape variations in the transmitted laser pulses are mainly due to stimulated Raman scattering processes. Substantial shape variations have been observed even at energy conversion efficiencies to the Stokes radiation of lower than 10%. The drop in energy transmittivity at higher fluences seems mainly due to two-photon absorption processes.

Coherently induced hole-burnings in a Doppler broadened four-level atomic system

We investigate the absorption spectra of a probe laser in warm rubidium atoms driven into the four-level N configuration. Our numerical calculations show that there are six (two) coherent hole-burnings and one (two) transparency window(s) in the probe absorption spectra, when the perturbing laser co-propagates (counter-propagates) with the probe laser and both coupling and saturating lasers are exactly resonant with their driving transitions. Gradually weakening the perturbing laser, we can dramatically change the probe absorption spectra to observe more coherent hole-burnings and transparency windows as well as the conversion from transparency windows into coherent hole-burnings. Relevant phenomena can be well understood in the dressed state representation.
