啁啾脉冲频域相移的模拟与实验研究

在超快光学瞬态相移的测量中,结合线性啁啾脉冲与频谱干涉技术,可以获得啁啾脉冲相移随频谱的变化规律。光脉冲经过光栅色散和透镜聚焦后,不同的频率成分以空间上的不同坐标展开。当两束脉冲频谱同时在空间上展开时,相同的频谱成分会产生干涉。基于傅里叶变换频谱干涉技术,从频谱干涉图中提取相移,并对其进行了数值模拟和实验研究。结果表明,通过对不同类型频域相移进行重构所得到的结果反映出了相移随脉冲频谱变化的特性。实验结果表明了这种重构算法是有效的,与模拟结果具有较好的一致性。     

一种基于傅里叶变换的分析载波条纹的新方法

Two-dimensional spectral shearing interferometry for few-cycle pulse characterization

We present a new method for measuring the spectral phase of ultrashort pulses that utilizes spectral shearing interferometry with zero delay. Unlike conventional spectral phase interferometry for direct electric-field reconstruction, which encodes phase as a sensitively calibrated fringe in the spectral domain, two-dimensional spectral shearing interferometry robustly encodes phase along a second dimension. This greatly reduces demands on the spectrometer and allows for complex phase spectra to be measured over extremely large bandwidths, potentially exceeding 1.5 octaves.     

Agile linear interferometric method for carrier-envelope phase drift measurement

A bandwidth-independent and linear interferometric method for the measurement of the carrier-envelope phase drift of ultrashort pulse trains is demonstrated. The pulses are temporally overlapped in a resonant multiple-beam interferometer. From the position of the spectral interference pattern, the relative carrier-envelope phase between two subsequent oscillator pulses is obtained at data acquisition rates up to 200 Hz. Cross calibration has been performed by f-to-2f interferometry in two independent experiments. The optical length of the interferometer has been actively stabilized, leading to a phase jitter of 117 mrad (rms). These results indicate a reduced noise and quicker data acquisition in comparison with previous linear methods for measuring the carrier-envelope phase drift.     

Interferometric technique for measuring broadband ultrashort pulses at the sampling limit

We present a new technique for measuring ultrashort optical pulses by use of spectral phase interferometry for direct electric-field reconstruction that is suitable for large bandwidth pulses. The method does not require generation of a replica of the pulse to be measured and encodes the spectral phase information in a spatial interference pattern. A major advantage of this method is that the spectral sampling saturates the Whittaker-Shannon bound. Moreover, the technique allows for the characterization of some types of space-time coupling. An experimental demonstration of the technique is presented.

Quantum interferometry by using delayed phase-locked ultrashort pulses: implementation of quantum gate operation in molecules

It will be shown that by using two phase-locked delayed ultrashort pulses of different durations one can selectively populate odd or even vibrational levels of an excited state of a molecule. One can control the enhancement or damping in a selective vibrational level by controlling the laser parameters e.g. delay, phase difference, temporal width and carrier frequency of two ultradhort pulses. Conversely by reading the population distribution In vibrational levels of an excited state of a molecule one can study the amplitude and the phase of the wavepacket generated by the interference of two wavepackets excited by two ultrashort pulses i.e. by quantum interferometry. It will be examined whether the information stored in a molecule by quantum computation can be retrieved efficiently by using quantum interferometry.     

Measurement of fiber chromatic dispersion using spectral interferometry with modulation of dispersed laser pulses

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a method for fiber dispersion measurement based on the modulation of laser pulses stretched by the fiber under test. The measured spectrum of the modulated pulses is the result of the interference between the stretched pulse spectra shifted by the modulation harmonics. The interference pattern is processed as in Fourier transform spectral interferometry. Unlike to conventional spectral interferometry, environmental conditions do not affect the interferogram due to the lack of any interferometer; additionally, large dispersions can be characterized by the method proposed. Its high accuracy is demonstrated in experimental comparison with the widely used phase shift technique.     

Single-shot multiple-delay crossed-beam spectral interferometry for measuring extremely complex pulses

We demonstrate a single-shot measurement technique based on spectral interferometry (SI) for measuring the complete intensity and phase vs. time of extremely complex ultrashort laser pulses. Ordinarily, such a method would require an extremely-high-resolution spectrometer, but, by temporally interleaving many SI measurements, each using a different reference-pulse delay, our method overcomes this need. It involves introducing a transverse time delay into the reference pulse by tilting its pulse front transversely to the spectrometer dispersion plane. The tilted reference pulse then gates the unknown pulse by interfering with it at the image plane of a low-resolution imaging spectrometer, yielding an effective increase in the delay range and spectral resolution—by a factor of 30 in our proof-of-principle implementation. Our device achieved a temporal resolution of ~ 130 fs and a temporal range of 120 ps. This simple device has the potential to measure even longer and more complex pulses.     

Phase demodulation in the space domain without a fringe carrier

It is demonstrated that interference phase can be obtained from a fringe pattern using the spatial domain method known as spatial synchronous detection (direct interferometry) but without the usual fringe carrier (e.g. tilt) introduced into the interferometer. This is particularly useful in the study of transient events, where it is not always straightforward to introduce these carrier fringes. Spatial domain analysis is considerably faster than frequency domain (Fourier) methods, and could enable phase to be calculated in real time on relatively cheap personal computers. The main disadvantage of the new technique is that the sign of the recovered phase is lost, and must be inferred from object constraints.     

All-reflective self-referenced spectral interferometry for single-shot measurement of few-cycle femtosecond pulses in a broadband spectral range

An all-reflective self-referenced spectral interferometry based on the transient grating(TG)effect is proposed for single-shot measuring of the amplitude and phase of ultrashort pulses in a broadband spectral range.Except for a thin third-order nonlinear medium,which was used to generate the TG signal,no transmitted optics were used in the proposed device,and few-cycle pulses in a broad spectral range from deep UV to mid-IR can be characterized.With a homemade compact and alignment-free device,a 5.0 fs pulse at 800 nm corresponding to about two cycles and a 14.3 fs pulse at 1800 nm corresponding to less than three cycles were successfully characterized.
