Temporal contrast is a key factor influencing the performance of high-field physics experiments for ultraintense and ultrashort laser systems. The purpose of this paper is to improve the temporal contrast for ultraintense and ultrashort pulses in a laser system by cross-polarized wave (XPW) generation, a new method developed recently to enhance the temporal contrast effectively. Experiments were carried out to study the XPW generation efficiency and the enhancement of temporal contrast at the SILEX-I laser facility with a wavelength of 800 nm. The results show that the relationships between the efficiency of cross-polarized wave generation and crystal orientation/input intensity are in good agreement with theoretical predictions. Both the prepulse and the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) pedestal are suppressed significantly and the temporal contrast is improved by two orders of magnitude by the method. With the amplification of the temporally cleaner pulses in the future, great opportunities will be created for high-field physics experiments at the laser facility.  相似文献

The expressions of pulse characteristics such as output energy, peak power, and pulse width are obtained by solving the coupled rate equations describing the operation of GaAs semiconductor saturable absorber Q-switched lasers. The key parameters of an optimally coupled GaAs saturable absorber Q-switched laser are determined and several design curves are generated from these expressions for the first time. These key parameters include the optimal normalized coupling parameters and the optimal normalized saturable absorber parameters that maximize the output energy or maximize the peak power, and the corresponding normalized energy, normalized peak power, and normalized pulse width. Using the expressions and design curves, one can predict the pulse characteristics and perform the design of an optimally coupled GaAs saturable absorber Q-switched laser.  相似文献

The temporal characteristics of the Q-switched Nd-glass laser have been numerically investigated. A mathematical model describing the dynamic emission and different physical processes has been adapted. This model allows the investigation of the nonlinear saturable absorber effects on the mode characteristics of the Nd-glass laser, and studying the affects of the laser input parameters on the output laser pulse characteristics.Numerical solutions of a nonlinear rate equation system predict the generation of nanosecond pulses of Q-switched Nd-glass laser. The solutions estimate the laser density and the relative population inversion of the Nd-glass laser rod and saturable absorber for different emission regimes. The estimated results of the laser output pulse characteristics are in a good agreement with the other calculated and experimental results.  相似文献

We report on two-wavelength operation of a CPM ring dye laser employing Rhodamine 6G as gain medium and a new styryl dye as saturable absorber. Two trains of femtosecond pulses at different wavelengths are simultaneously generated under proper alignment of the laser. The secondary pulse train is attributed to the laser action of the absorber dye. Auto- and cross-correlation measurements are performed to determine the temporal characteristics of the laser in the double mode-locking regime.  相似文献

The circulation of an ultrashort light pulse in a continuously pumped modelocked dye laser with a linear cavity configuration containing the active dye, the saturable absorber and a bandwidth-limiting elements is treated. The steady-state condition that the pulse shape reproduces after each cavity round-trip leads to a nonlinear integro-differential equation for this pulse shape. An approximate method for the solution of this equation not limited to the case of low laser gain and small pulse energies is given. The stable single pulse region and characteristic pulse parameters, as energy, duration, intensity and asymmetry, are considered in dependence on the laser parameters.  相似文献

A practical technique based on the phase-conjugate wave (PCW) generation is proposed to improve the temporal contrast of the picosecond pulses. Our theory predicts the temporal contrast of the picosecond pulses can be enhanced to about the cube of the temporal contrast of the input pulse via the PCW generation, in which the conversion efficiency from the incident pulse to the PCW is about 25%. In a proof-of-principle experiment, the temporal contrast of picosecond pulses was enhanced from 1.7×103 to 8.6×108 with the conversion efficiency of 10%. This technique is promising to effectively eliminate the background of the ultrashort and ultraintense laser pulses in the future.  相似文献

Compared with a single passively Q-switched laser, a double passively Q-switched laser with a GaAs saturable absorber and a Cr4+-doped saturable absorber can produce more symmetric and shorter pulses with high pulse peak power. New normalized coupled rate equations for a double passively Q-switched laser with both a GaAs saturable absorber and a Cr4+-doped saturable absorber are solved numerically, where the single-photon absorption (SPA) and two-photon absorption (TPA) processes of GaAs are combined. The Gaussian spatial distributions of the intracavity photon density and the initial population-inversion density are considered. The optimization of a double passively Q-switched laser to obtain the shortest pulse width is performed, and a group of general curves are generated for the first time. The curves clearly show the dependence of the optimal normalized parameters on the parameters of the gain medium, the GaAs saturable absorber, the Cr4+-doped saturable absorber and the spatial distributions of the intracavity photon density. Sample calculations for a diode-pumped Nd3+:YVO4 laser with both a GaAs saturable absorber and a Cr4+:YAG saturable absorber are presented to demonstrate the use of the curves and the related formulas.  相似文献

A saturable absorber is commonly employed to generate an ultrashort laser with a mode-locking scheme. In an erbium-doped fiber laser system, the laser regimes of either 1530 or 1550 nm wavelength are procured based on the absorption profile of the erbium-doped fiber. The absorption of the erbium-doped fiber is designed to emit at both wavelengths by controlling the net gain of the laser cavity. Subsequently, simultaneous erbium-doped fiber laser emission is attained at 1533.5 and 1555.1 nm with the pulse duration of 910 and 850 fs, respectively.Therefore, this work maximizes the output portfolios of a mode-locking fiber laser for dual-wavelength ultrashort pulses emission.  相似文献
