We demonstrate intracavity frequency doubling of a standard femtosecond Ti:sapphire oscillator. The cavity is extended with
a pair of focusing mirrors and a 0.5-mm-thick BBO crystal. We achieve a repetition rate of 50 MHz and simultaneously generate
22 mW of 55-fs pulses at 810 nm and 200 mW of 73-fs pulses at 405 nm, which corresponds to 4 nJ per pulse. We create a total
of 330-mW, 405-nm light when pumping the Ti:sapphire crystal with 5.7 W from an Ar-ion laser, corresponding to a conversion
efficiency of 5.7%. No saturation is found, which implies that higher outputs can be achieved with higher pump rates. Preliminary
results from the use of blue pulses as pump in an optical parametric amplifier seeded by pulses from a photonic crystal fiber
are presented.

A 10-kHz pulse-repetition-frequency dye-laser master-oscillator power amplifier, end-pumped by a copper vapour laser (CVL),
is reported. This laser was based on recently available, lightweight and compact CVL and dye laser components. Dye laser tunability
was achieved from 592 to 622 nm and, when the oscillator was etalon line-narrowed, up to 1.5 W of single-etalon-mode output
was obtained from the amplifier at the 608-nm peak tuning wavelength. By frequency doubling this amplified output in a BBO
crystal we obtained up to 225 mW of 5-GHz 308-nm output, which is suitable for the performance of tropospheric hydroxyl radical
concentration measurements.

A Nd:YVO4 laser, end-pumped by a fiber-coupled diode-laser array, generates 7.3 W of output power at 1342 nm, the highest so far reported
for this host crystal. The slope efficiency is 40% and the output-beam divergence is close to the diffraction limit. An important
point in attaining such results is the choice of crystals with low Nd concentration.

The water droplet laser plasma source has been shown to have many attractive features as a continuous, almost debris-free
source for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and X-ray applications. Through a dual experimental and theoretical study, we analyze
the interaction physics between the laser light and the target. The hydrodynamic laser plasma simulation code, Medusa103 is
used to model the electron density distribution for comparison to electron density distributions obtained through Abel inversion
of plasma interferograms. In addition, flat field EUV spectra are compared to synthetic spectra calculated with the atomic
physics code RATION.

A high-sensitivity in situ optical diagnostic technique for laser cleaning of transparent substrates
N. Chaoui J. Solis C.N. Afonso T. Fourrier T. Muehlberger G. Schrems M. Mosbacher D. Bäuerle M. Bertsch P. Leiderer 《Applied Physics A: Materials Science & Processing》2003,76(5):767-771
A differential optical transmission technique has been used to monitor in situ the efficiency of laser cleaning for the removal
of sub-micrometer-sized particles on substrates transparent at the monitoring wavelength. This technique has been applied
to the removal of sub-micrometer polystyrene particles on polyimide substrates using laser pulses of 30 ps duration at 292 nm
while probing the material transmission at 633 nm. The sensitivity achieved -1/104 for the transmission changes induced upon single-pulse laser exposure – allows us to monitor the removal of just a few sub-micron-sized
particles from the probed region inside the irradiated area.

We have demonstrated the non-thermal removal of oxygen atoms from an oxidized silicon surface (SiO2) on a silicon wafer by the use of a low-power (0.3 mW cm-2) incoherent vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) light source at 126 nm. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) has shown that a maximum
Si concentration of 80% appears at the surface after a 20-h irradiation with 9.8 eV photons, as a result of oxygen removal
from the SiO2 matrix. The surface morphology, however, indicates no damage or melting on the surface even after the irradiation.

We have developed a tunable intense narrow-band 285 nm light source based on frequency doubling of 570 nm light in BBO. At
input powers of 840 mW (including 130 mW used for locking purposes) we generate 99 mW UV radiation with an intensity profile
suitable for laser-cooling experiments. The light is used for laser cooling of neutral magnesium atoms in a magneto-optical
trap (MOT). We capture about 5×106 atoms directly from a thermal beam and find that the major loss mechanism of the magnesium MOT is a near-resonant two-photon
ionization process.

Quasi-phase-matched (QPM) materials allow the generation of spectroscopically useful infrared radiation in an efficient and
broadly tunable format. Here, we describe several applications of QPM-based light sources to remote and local chemical sensing.
The remote systems are gas imagers that employ a fiber-pumped continuous-wave optical parametric oscillator or a microlaser-pumped,
diode-seeded optical parametric amplifier as the illumination source. Technology described for local sensing includes a cavity
ring down spectrometer that employs a novel optical parametric generator–amplifier to achieve ≥350 cm-1 of contiguous tuning and a long-wave infrared light source based on QPM GaAs. In each case the use of QPM materials in conjunction
with effective pump sources instills simplicity and ruggedness into the sensing systems.

Experimental investigations using femtosecond and picosecond laser pulses at 800 nm illuminate the distinctions between the
dynamics and nature of ultrafast processing of dielectrics compared with semiconductors and metals. Dielectric materials are
strongly charged at the surface on the sub-ps time scale and undergo an impulsive Coulomb explosion prior to thermal ablation.
Provided the laser pulse width remains in the ps or sub-ps time domain, this effect can be exploited for processing. In the
case of thermal ablation alone, the high localization of energy accompanied by ultrafast laser micro-structuring is of great
advantage also for high quality processing of thin metallic or semiconducting layers, in which the surface charge is effectively
quenched.

We theoretically describe and experimentally investigate the spatio-spectral wave mixing of induced and spontaneous emission
in large-area InGaAs-semiconductor laser amplifiers. The dynamic light-matter-coupling is described by a spatially resolved
theory based on Maxwell–Bloch–Langevin equations, taking into account many-body-carrier interactions, energy transfer between
the carrier and phonon systems and, in particular, the spatio-temporal interplay of stimulated and amplified spontaneous emission
and the noise caused by spontaneous emission. Our numerical model reveals the fundamental physical processes which are responsible
for the spectral power distribution of the amplified laser light and predicts the emission properties of high-power semiconductor
laser amplifiers, such as emission spectra and input power–output power characteristics.

a number of techniques including scanning and transmission electron microscopies, as well as atomic force microscopy. Structural
details and the level of damage to the nearby solid following irradiation were characterized and are discussed in the context
of recent dynamical studies.

A study of the propagation of elliptically polarized light and the resulting formation of macroscopic chiral structures in
a series of azobenzene side-chain copolyesters, in which the morphology is varied from liquid crystalline to amorphous, is
reported. Real-time measurements are presented, showing the dynamic behavior of the photoinduced rotation of the polarization
ellipse in the different samples. The relationship between the ellipticity of the recording light and the linear birefringence
induced is studied. A numerical solution that takes into account the influence of the photoinduced linear dichroism on the
light propagation through the samples is presented.

We have developed a novel interferometric autocorrelator composed of only reflective elements, which functions as a beam splitter
and an optical delay line. Analytical expressions are derived to give second-order autocorrelation functions and deconvolution
factors for various conditions. The measurement of femtosecond laser pulses by interferometric autocorrelation is demonstrated
in the visible region. The results are compared with those by calculation.

A high-repetition-rate eye-safe optical parametric oscillator (OPO), using a non-critically phase-matched KTP crystal intracavity
pumped by an acousto-optically (AO) Q-switchedNd:YVO4 laser, is experimentally demonstrated. It is found that the average OPO signal power at 1573 nm can be efficiently increased
by increasing the pulse repetition rate. Moreover, the intracavity OPO process effectively shortens the pulse width so that
it is in the range 5∼8 ns for pulse repetition rates of 10 to 80 kHz. As a result of the relatively short pulse, the peak
power at 1573 nm is higher than 2 kW at a pulse repetition rate of 80 kHz.

The laser-driven in-tube accelerator (LITA) is a unique device for laser propulsion. It is characterized by the acceleration
of a projectile in a tube. The thrust performance can be improved by exploiting a confinement effect. In the experiment, a
3.0-g projectile is vertically launched, and the momentum coupling coefficient is measured for various monoatomic gases. The
measured coupling coefficient is almost proportional to the reciprocal of the speed of sound. The same impulse generation
characteristics are obtained in simplified situations that are analyzed based on conservation relations.

Phase-manipulated ultrafast laser pulses and temporally tailored pulse trains with THz repetition rates are promising new
tools for quality micromachining of brittle dielectrics, allowing to adapt the laser energy delivery rate to the material
properties for optimal processing. Different materials respond with specific reaction pathways to the sudden energy input
depending on the efficiency of electron generation and on the ability to release the energy into the lattice. The sequential
energy delivery with judiciously chosen pulse trains may induce softening of the material during the initial steps of excitation
and change the energy coupling for the subsequent steps. We show that this can result in lower stress, cleaner structures,
and allow for a material-dependent optimization process.

Bulk heating of transparent materials using a high-repetition-rate femtosecond laser 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
C.B. Schaffer J.F. García E. Mazur 《Applied Physics A: Materials Science & Processing》2003,76(3):351-354
Femtosecond laser pulses can locally induce structural and chemical changes in the bulk of transparent materials, opening
the door to the three-dimensional fabrication of optical devices. We review the laser and focusing parameters that have been
applied to induce these changes and discuss the different physical mechanisms that play a role in forming them. We then describe
a new technique for inducing refractive-index changes in bulk material using a high-repetition-rate femtosecond oscillator.
The changes are caused by a localized melting of the material, which results from an accumulation of thermal energy due to
nonlinear absorption of the high-repetition-rate train of laser pulses.

Silver colloids in aqueous solution were studied by different scanning microscopy techniques and UV/VIS spectroscopy. The
silver colloids were produced either by chemical reduction or by nanosecond laser ablation from a solid silver foil in water.
Variation of laser power and ablation time leads to solutions of metal clusters of different sizes in water. We characterized
the electronic absorption of the clusters by UV/VIS spectroscopy. STM (scanning tunneling microscope) imaging of the metal
colloids shows atomic resolution of rod- or tenon-like silver clusters up to 10-nm length formed by laser ablation. Our scanning
electron microscope measurements, however, show that much larger silver colloids up to 5-μm length are also formed, which
are not visible in the STM due to their roughness. We correlate them with the long-wavelength tail of the multimodal UV/VIS
spectrum. The silver colloids obtained by chemical reduction are generally larger and their electronic spectra are red-shifted
compared to the laser-ablated clusters. Irradiation of the colloid solution with nanosecond laser pulses of appropriate fluence
at 532 nm and 355 nm initially reduced the colloid size. Longer irradiation at 355 nm, however, leads to the formation of
larger colloids again. There seems to be a critical lower particle size, where silver clusters in aqueous solution become
unstable and start to coagulate.

Efficient sub-nanosecond pulse operation of microchip lasers with intracavity Raman conversion and pulse compression is presented
for the first time. The microchip lasers were composed of Nd:LSB or Nd:YAG laser crystals, Cr4+:YAG saturable absorber, and Ba(NO3)2 Raman medium. The pulse duration obtained at the Stokes wavelength (1196 nm) was as short as 118 ps. Optical conversion efficiency
of laser-diode pump power to the Stokes power of 8% was reached. Pulse energy and peak power of Stokes emission were 1.2 μJ
and 5.4 kW, correspondingly. Numerical calculations are in good agreement with obtained experimental results.
