光学微腔中倍频光场演化和光谱特性

在考虑光学微腔中二阶和三阶非线性效应的情况下,引入了可同时描述腔内基频和倍频光场的演化过程的Lugiato-Lefeve方程,分析了SiN微腔中二次谐波的产生,并讨论了各参数对腔内基频和倍频光场的影响.理论分析结果表明,失谐参量为0时,稳定后的基频光场为平顶脉冲的形式,而倍频光场呈正弦分布;失谐参量增加,将导致腔内基频和倍频光功率在演化过程中出现振荡,且最终稳定的光功率变弱,稳定后的光场分布为周期性变化;失谐参量的值过大,会使得微腔光场处于混沌状态.抽运光强较弱时,腔内可形成稳定的光场分布;抽运光强较强时,会导致腔内色散以及非线性效应过强,最终稳定的光场仍然呈周期性变化,且抽运光功率越强,光功率的演化曲线振荡越强.此外,选取特定的微腔尺寸,微腔可工作于"图灵环"状态.理论分析结果对研究光学微腔中二次谐波的产生有重要意义.

Control of the pulse width of a laser-diode end-pumped passively Q-switched solid-state laser

We theoretically and experimentally study different techniques to control the pulse width of a laser-diode-pumped passively Q-switched solid-state laser. It is shown that varying the laser beam radius in the saturable absorber and the pump beam radius in the gain medium provide an efficient means to control the pulse width. The experiments performed on a laser-diode-pumped Nd:YVO₄ laser passively Q-switched by a Cr⁴⁺:YAG saturable absorber are consistent with the theoretical calculations obtained from the rate-equations model, in which the intracavity photon density is assumed to be Gaussian spatial distribution, and the longitudinal variation of the intracavity photon density and the pump beam spatial distribution are also considered.     

Experiment Study of Dual Wavelength and Dual Pulse Q-switched Intracavity Frequency Doubling of a Tunable Cr:LiSAF Laser

In this paper, a flashlamp-pumped Q-switched Cr: LiSAF laser system with intracavity frequency doubling is designed to obtain dual pulse and dual wavelength laser output. The behaviors of second harmonic output of dual pulse and dual wavelength are studied experimentally. Good results are obtained in experiments: the output energy of each second harmonic pulse a round 448.1 nm is 10.2 mJ, the dual pulse time interval can be tuned widely, and the tunable range of each second harmonic wavelength is 448.1 to 465 nm.     

An efficient intracavity-pumped KTP optical parametric oscillator at 1572 nm

We demonstrate an efficient and eye-safe wavelength intracavity optical parametric oscillator (OPO),based on a KTP crystal inside a Q-switched Nd:YVO4 laser end pumped by a fiber-coupled diode laser. Inthe acousto-optic Q-switched operation with the pulse repetition rate of 10 kHz, a 1572-nm eye-safe laser with the average power of 237 mW at the incident pump power of 5.64 W is obtained. Under the pulse repetition rate of 5 kHz, the signal light with pulse width of 2 ns and peak power of 18.5 kW is achieved.The conversion efficiency of the average power is 4.2% from pump diode to OPO signal output and thesignal pulse duration is about 13 times shorter than that of the depleted pump light.     

Optimization of intracavity Q-switched laser frequency doubling

The optimization theory for intracavity frequency-doubled Q-switched lasers is discussed. Nonlinear loss effects caused by the frequency doubler were introduced into the rate equations. The harmonic pulse characteristics such as peak power, pulse energy, pulsewidth were studied. Lagrange multiplier technique was adopted to maximize the peak power of the second-harmonic pulse for a given pumping level. It was found that the optimal frequency-doubling factor is constant and equals 1. Design curves for the laser characteristics parameter were established. The curves and expressions presented help in designing an optimal Q-switched intracavity frequency-doubled miniature laser and predict the pulse characteristics.     

Control of the pulse duration in a diode-pumped passively Q-switched intracavity frequency-doubling laser

Different techniques to control the pulse duration of a diode-pumped passively Q-switched intracavity frequency-doubled laser are studied, which shows that varying the pump beam radius in the gain medium and mode-spot sizes on a saturable absorber are two efficient ways to control the pulse duration. The output pulse durations obtained from a diode-pumped passively Q-switched Nd:GdVO₄/KTP laser with a GaAs wafer can be controlled in a wide range over 100 ns, which indicates a simple way of controlling the pulse duration of the intracavity frequency-doubled passively Q-switched laser.

The obtained pulse energy and average power are much higher than those of the previously reported diode-pumped passively Q-switched intracavity Raman lasers.     

Control of the pulse width in a diode-pumped passively Q-switched Nd:YVO<Subscript>4</Subscript>/KTP green laser with GaAs saturable absorber

By varying the positions of the saturable absorber in the laser axis and the pump beam waist in the gain medium, respectively, we have theoretically and experimentally studied the control of the pulse width in a diode-pumped passively Q-switched Nd:YVO₄/KTP green laser with GaAs saturable absorber. A rate equation model is introduced, in which the intracavity photon density is assumed to be Gaussian spatial distribution, the longitudinal variation of the intracavity photon density and the pump beam spatial distribution are also considered. The experimental results are consistent with the numerical calculations of the rate equations.     

Characterization of laser-diode end-pumped intracavity frequency doubled, passively Q-switched and mode-locked Nd:YVO4 laser

Simultaneous Q-switching and mode-locking in a laser-diode end-pumped intracavity frequency doubled Nd:YVO₄/KTP green laser using Cr⁴⁺:YAG saturable absorber is experimentally demonstrated. The influence of the initial transmission (T₀) of the Cr⁴⁺:YAG crystal on the Q-switched mode-locked green pulses as well as on the average green power is characterized by using Cr⁴⁺:YAG crystal with various T₀. The effect of T₀ on the pulse build-up time in intracavity second harmonic configuration is theoretically investigated. It was found that the depth of modulation for the mode-locked pulses is greatly improved at the second harmonic wavelength as compared to that for the fundamental wavelength. The average pulse duration of the individual mode-locked pulse for the second harmonic beam measured to be less than 500 ps with a repetition rate of 400 MHz.     

Q-Switched Intracavity Frequency-Doubled Solid State Lasers: Influence of ETU Effect, Repetition Rate and ESA Effect

Our theoretical analysis showed that the overall intracavity frequency-doubled actively Q-switched solid state laser performance is affected by both pulse repetition rate and energy transfer up-conversion effect. The energy transfer up-conversion effect increased greatly and seriously degraded the laser performance especially when operating at high pumping power and low pulse repetition rate. The curves generated by numerical computation of the presented model can be used to predict the laser performance. We concluded that the pulse lengthening effect also appears with the influence of energy transfer up-conversion and is not related to the repetition rate. From the analysis, we found that the frequency doubling coefficient that Liu and Kim chose in their experiment was just the optimized value. Considering the effect of excited state absorption of saturable absorber into passively Q-switched intracavity frequency doubled solid state laser, the second threshold condition for this model is derived. A simple and very clear formula is obtained.
