Enhanced performance of a repetitively pulsed 130 mJ KrF laser with improved pre-ionization parameters

Studies related to the effect of pre-ionizer on laser output energy of a repetitively pulsed KrF laser are presented. The dependence of laser output energy, spectral width and beam spot homogeneity on pre-ionization parameters, namely its current and voltage rise time are reported here. Here, effectiveness of pre-ionization is optimized by improving pre-ionization current and rise time of the pump pulse of the automatic UV pre-ionizer KrF laser. It is observed that by increasing pre-ionization current from 6 kA to 10.6 kA, the output energy increases by about 30% (from 100 to 130 mJ). It is also observed that the emission spectral width reduces by almost 60% by increasing the pre-ionization current. Regular homogeneous and well-developed beam spot (nearly Hat-Top profile) was achieved under these optimized conditions.

Then the effects of the ionizer dielectric parameters on the output laser intensity are obtained. Application of this model gives more output energy than that have obtained by the previous works.

Varieties of solitons and solitary waves

A summary is presented of the principal types of completely integrable partial differential equations having soliton solutions. Each type is derived from an appropriate physical model of an electromagnetic wave problem, with the intention to show how known mathematical results apply to a coherent class of physical problems in electromagnetic waves. The non-linear Schrödinger (NS) equation appears when the induced non-linear dielectric polarization is expanded in a series of powers of the electric field, only the linear and third-order polarizations are retained, and the temporal spectrum of the wave is a narrow band far removed from any resonance of the medium. The sine-Gordon equation appears from a similar optical model of propagation in a dielectric consisting of identical 2-level atomic systems, but resonance occurs between the carrier frequency of the wave and the transition frequency of the atoms. The Boussinesq and Korteweg– de Vries equations appear at different levels of approximation to a potential wave on a transmission line having a non-linear capacitance such that the charge stored is a non-linear function of the line potential. In all cases the evolution variable is the propagation distance; the transverse variable is time, but in the case of the NS equation it may alternatively be a spatial coordinate, giving rise to the possibility of spatial solitons as well as temporal solitons for NS-type problems. Two examples are derived of non-integrable Hamiltonian systems having spatial solitary waves, namely the second-order cascade interaction and vector spatial solitary waves of the third-order interaction, and a brief survey of the analytical solutions for the plane waves and solitary waves of these two types is presented. Finally, the addition of a second spatial dimension to the non-linear transmission line problem leads to the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equations, and a further approximation for weakly modulated travelling waves leads to the Davey–Stewartson equations. Both of these completely integrable systems support combined spatial–temporal solitons.     

Acceleration of re-ignition of high pressure mercury discharge lamps using photo-pre-ionization

High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps are difficult to re-ignite rapidly because of the high pressure of metal vapor at high temperatures. We have succeeded in reducing the re-ignition time of high-pressure mercury lamps by using a pre-ionization step where an excess of electrons are generated by UV laser irradiation into the lamp. The effect of changing the laser focal point of the UV laser in the lamp and the position of an auxiliary electrode were also investigated. The time interval for re-ignition was reduced from 230s to 100s by laser irradiation near to the cathode. The results clearly showed that the effect of accelerating the re-ignition time by the pre-ionization step was determined by the behavior of excess electrons generated during the UV laser irradiation.

Enhancement of electron density in the interaction of high-power electromagnetic waves with inhomogeneous magnetized plasma

Propagation characteristics of a high-power electromagnetic wave through an inhomogeneous magnetized plasma is investigated. Considering the momentum transfer equations for electrons and ions and taking into account the ponderomotive force, the distribution of electron density and dielectric permittivity are obtained. Using non-linear dielectric permittivity and Maxwell's equations in the absence of external current and charge densities, non-linear wave equations are achieved. The results indicate that the external static magnetic field can modify the profiles of both the electric and magnetic fields. It is also shown that the external static magnetic field enhances the amplitude of the electron density and the non-linear dielectric permittivity.     

Application of the method of nonstationary waveguide equations to simulating pulsed processes in irregular transmission lines

The potentialities of the model of nonstationary waveguide equations for describing pulsed processes in irregular transmission lines are studied using planar lines as an example. The problem of high-accuracy controllable-error numerical simulation is discussed. Typical examples of simulating ultra-wide-band electromagnetic pulses with an initial TEM structure in terms of time-domain representation are presented with emphasis on the interaction of the pulses with irregularities, including their transformation into longitudinal waves. Both lumped and distributed irregularities are addressed: deep corrugations that cover 90% of the transmission line’s aperture (distributed irregularities) and these corrugations in combination with sharp kinks at the boundary surfaces and permittivity steps at the boundaries of the dielectric filling (lumped irregularities). It is shown that a relative rms error involved in the calculated field intensity of no higher than 10⁻⁴ is easy to achieve.

Lumped modeling with circuit elements for nonreciprocal magnetoelectric tunable band-pass filter

This paper presents a lumped equivalent circuit model of the nonreciprocal magnetoelectric tunable microwave bandpass filter.The reciprocal coupled-line circuit is based on the converse magnetoelectric effect of magnetoelectric composites,includes the electrical tunable equivalent factor of the piezoelectric layer,and is established by the introduced lumped elements,such as radiation capacitance,radiation inductance,and coupling inductance,according to the transmission characteristics of the electromagnetic wave and magnetostatic wave in an inverted-L-shaped microstrip line and ferrite slab.The nonreciprocal transmission property of the filter is described by the introduced T-shaped circuit containing controlled sources.Finally,the lumped equivalent circuit of a nonreciprocal magnetoelectric tunable microwave band-pass filter is given and the lumped parameters are also expressed.When the deviation angles of the ferrite slab are respectively 0° and45°,the corresponding magnetoelectric devices are respectively a reciprocal device and a nonreciprocal device.The curves of S parameter obtained by the lumped equivalent circuit model and electromagnetic simulation are in good agreement with the experimental results.When the deviation angle is between 0° and 45°,the maximum value of the S parameter predicted by the lumped equivalent circuit model is in good agreement with the experimental result.The comparison results of the paper show that the lumped equivalent circuit model is valid.Further,the effect of some key material parameters on the performance of devices is predicted by the lumped equivalent circuit model.The research can provide the theoretical basis for the design and application of nonreciprocal magnetoelectric tunable devices.

Performance characteristics of an excimer laser (XeCl) with single-stage magnetic pulse compression suitable for material processing applications are presented here. The laser incorporates in-built compact gas circulation and gas cooling to ensure fresh gas mixture between the electrodes for repetitive operation. A magnetically coupled tangential blower is used for gas circulation inside the laser chamber for repetitive operation. The exciter consists of C–C energy transfer circuit and thyratron is used as a high-voltage main switch with single-stage magnetic pulse compression (MPC) between thyratron and the laser electrodes. Low inductance of the laser head and uniform and intense pre-ionization are the main features of the electric circuit used in the laser.

The profile shows that the laser beam is completely filled with flat-top which is suitable for material processing applications. The SEM image of the microhole generated on copper target is presented here.
