单纵模Nd:YAG激光抽运CH4中强后向受激拉曼散射

孤子光脉冲的产生及其应用研究

利用非线性偏振旋转技术实现自起振被动锁模.在掺铒光纤环形腔激光器中产生了中心波长为1563.3 nm、重复频率为12.5 MHz、脉冲宽度为352.0 fs、3 dB光谱宽度为7.8 nm的孤子光脉冲.采用该孤子光脉冲作为抽运光源，经掺铒光纤放大器放大后，输入到101 m长的高非线性光子晶体光纤中，获得了20 dB带宽约为240 nm的超连续激光光谱.实验详细观测了光脉冲随抽运功率的变化及超连续激光光谱的形成过程，分析了其形成机理.研究表明：当抽运功率较低时，光谱加宽主要由高阶孤子的分裂引起；随着抽运功率的增加，高阶孤子分裂成基本孤子的数目逐渐增大，光谱进一步加宽；当抽运功率增加到受激拉曼散射的阈值时，受激拉曼散射成为光谱展宽的主要原因；抽运功率进一步增加时，受激拉曼散射、参量四波混频等非线性的共同作用将使光谱进一步加宽且变得光滑. 关键词： 孤子光纤激光器 超连续 光子晶体光纤     

荧光物质光学性质对受激拉曼散射的影响

荧光在受激拉曼散射中能发挥良好的外部种子作用,可以极大幅度降低受激拉曼阈值、增加散射模式的强度。将溶解了荧光物质的CS2溶液作为液芯光纤的芯液体进行荧光增强受激拉曼散射研究。结果表明,很小能量(1.86 mJ)的激光激发就能获得较强的斯托克斯和反斯托克斯拉曼光。以荧光光谱范围较小的罗丹明B(rhodamine B)作为荧光种子,只获得了强度较高的一阶反斯托克斯谱线和强度较低的一阶斯托克斯谱线;以荧光光谱范围很大的β-胡萝卜素(β-carotene)作为荧光种子,很小的抽运能量就获得了7阶斯托克斯光谱。因此可以选用不同光学性质的荧光种子来选择性增强受激拉曼散射的某一散射模式。     

A method for reducing the stimulated Raman scattering threshold in liquids embedded into photonic crystals

We study stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in liquids (water and ethanol) embedded into photonic crystals (artificial opals) under excitation with 60 ps laser pulses at 532 nm. We observe a substantial decrease of the SRS threshold when the focused laser beam excites the crystals near their surface. The spatial distance between the beam center and the surface of the crystals is close to their nanoscale structure. The decrease in the SRS threshold is due to a substantial increase in the photonic-state density near the edges of the photonic crystal stop zones and the so-called Mie resonances in active media near the nanosized globules. This leads to a considerable increase in the local-electric-field intensity, causing the SRS threshold reduction. Such a method of reducing the SRS threshold opens up a way of creating new efficient laser sources based on photonic crystals and their use for different applications in nanotechnologies.     

Study of polarized luminescence in erbium-doped laser glasses

A partial polarization of luminescence in laser phosphate and silicate erbium-doped glasses was found to take place for the fundamental laser transition ⁴ I _13/2→⁴ I _15/2 (λ=1.55 μm) under excitation by linearly polarized laser radiation (532 and 790–990 nm). The shape of the luminescence spectrum depends on the wavelength of the exciting light and on the composition of the glass matrix. The degree of polarization of the luminescence depends on the spectral range of both the excitation and the detection, attaining a maximum of ～1%. The concentration dependence of the degree of polarization is studied.     

Increase of the stimulated Raman scattering threshold at droplets by spectral broadening of nanosecond laser pulses

We show that the threshold of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) from single micro‐droplets increases with the bandwidth of the pulsed excitation laser radiation. SRS thresholds were experimentally investigated for two droplet sizes and two excitation bandwidths. For the narrowband excitation, a frequency doubled Nd:YAG laser with a central wavelength of 532 nm, a full width half maximum (FWHM) bandwidth of 0.05 nm and a repetition rate of 10 Hz was used. For the comparison with the broadband excitation, a dye resonator containing Rhodamine 6G being pumped by the Nd:YAG laser was utilized with a central wavelength of 566 nm and a FWHM bandwidth of 4 nm. Droplets of 89 and 116 µm diameters, respectively, were illuminated by a vertical light sheet. If the broadband excitation is applied instead of the narrowband excitation ‐ for both droplet sizes ‐ the pulsed excitation energies can be increased by a factor of approximately 5 before the SRS threshold is reached. The multiplication register of an emCCD detector was used to detect low signals. The gain factor of the detector was calibrated and adapted to different excitation energies and signal intensities.

Growth and spectral-luminescent study of SrMoO<Subscript>4</Subscript> crystals doped with Tm<Superscript>3+</Superscript> ions

SrMoO₄ crystals doped with Tm³⁺ ions have been produced from a melt using the Czochralski method; their spectral-luminescent characteristics have been studied, and laser radiation has been generated at the wavelength of 1.94 μm using laser-diode excitation. The high absorption section at the wavelength of 795 nm, the fairly high luminescence section, the long lifetime at the upper laser level ³F4 of 1.5 ms, and a wide luminescence band allow one to hope for developing efficient tunable Tm³⁺: SrMoO₄ crystal lasers with diode pumping in the range of 1.7–2.0 μm, which are capable of implementing SRS self-transformation of radiation into the middle IR band.

Diagnostics of the Degree of Calcification of Atherosclerotic Plaque by Laser-Induced Fluorescence

The luminescence of highly calcified atherosclerotic plaque in comparison with the luminescence of a normal wall of the vessel was studied in vitro (the luminescence was excited by a CW argon laser with λ = 488 nm or a pulsed nitrogen laser with λ = 337 nm). The mass-spectroscopy analysis of the plaque was carried out with a LAMMA-1000 system. It is ascertained that the specific shape of the luminescence spectrum with maximum at λ = 560 nm (under argon laser excitation) and λ = 485 nm (under nitrogen laser excitation) is typical of a highly calcified plaque (Ca content ≈38 %) and is similar to the luminescence spectrum of ordinary chalk.

Nonlinear optical properties of dibenzoylmethanate boron difluoride crystals

Nonlinear optical properties of dibenzoylmethanate boron difluoride crystals have been discovered. The optical properties of bulk crystals and microcrystals are different. The bands observed in the luminescence spectrum of the bulk crystals can be interpreted as follows: the narrow band at 530 nm is ascribed to second harmonic generation; the wide band at 460 nm is caused by multiphoton excitation processes. A specific difference in nonlinear optical properties of the bulk crystals and microcrystals is the absence of the band related to the multiphoton excitation processes in the luminescence spectrum of microcrystals. Therefore, in the case of dibenzoylmethanate boron difluoride crystals, a size dependence of not only luminescent, but also of nonlinear optical properties, is discovered for the first time, which is promising for the development of new optical materials.
