正负旋四频差动激光陀螺矢量自洽方程组的推导

<正>负旋四频差动激光陀螺是一种除反射片外腔内无光学元件的新型四频差动陀螺,其激光工作模式为椭圆偏振本征模。为研究其工作特性,以椭圆偏振模式为本征模,从兰姆半经典自洽场理论出发,结合密度矩阵运动方程,采用三阶微扰处理方法,得出了椭圆偏振模式下的兰姆系数。分析表明,圆偏振本征模下的兰姆系数经加权后可得到椭圆偏振本征模下的兰姆系数,权重是正/负旋圆偏振模电场强度分量大小占椭圆偏振模总电场强度大小比重的平方。由此建立了正负旋四频差动激光陀螺矢量自洽方程组,初步实验验证了理论公式的有效性,可用来对正负旋四频差动激光陀螺进行理论研究。

圆形高斯镜平凹腔腔镜倾斜时光场模式分析

运用边界元素法把圆形高斯镜平凹腔的自再现模的衍射积分方程转化为有限阶矩阵方程。计算了谐振腔在理想情况和高斯反射率平面输出镜倾斜情况下基模的场强分布、相位分布和本征值。研究表明,腔镜倾斜使激光场模式分布沿发生倾斜的方向向镜边缘偏移,而且在腔镜倾斜较严重时模式分布发生畸变,不再是对称的拉盖尔-高斯基模分布。基模本征值随倾斜角增大而变小,光束远场分布变差。减小高斯分布反射率的膜斑半径,则能减弱因倾斜引起的模式畸变。

激光谐振腔设计软件的算法研究与计算机实现

为使激光工作者可以方便地进行谐振腔诸如热透镜、容差等参量的优化分析与设计,研究了激光谐振腔设计软件的算法并在计算机上得到实现.使用ABCD矩阵方法分析激光光束的传输与变换.为使分析和设计更具有一般性和通用性便于计算机编程,考虑矩阵元素均为复数的情况,同时将光束质量因子M2和介质中的光束传输考虑在激光谐振腔模的传输变换当中,这样当矩阵元素虚部都为零,而M2=1和介质折射率为1时,就可以过渡到通常的基模高斯光束在空气中经实元件矩阵传输变换.并以此为基础使用VB在国内成功开发出具有稳定驻波腔、稳定行波腔、非稳驻波腔、非稳行波腔、相位共轭腔、光束传输变换等多种功能的可视化谐振腔软件.

Optical feedback in a Zeeman-birefringence HeNe laser and its application in ranging

The optical feedback characteristics in a Zeeman-birefringence HeNe laser have been studied systematically when the external cavity varies in a large range. The intensity variations of the two orthogonally polarized lights are observed during the laser cavity tuning in the dual frequency laser. When the external cavity length is an integral multiple of the laser cavity length, either polarized light's intensity modulation depth varies not obviously when the laser works in dual modes conditions or single mode condition. But when the external cavity length is far away from an integral multiple of the laser cavity length and the laser works in different dual modes conditions, polarized light's intensity modulation depth varies obviously. This characteristic can guide us to tune the laser to work in single mode condition to improve the sensitivity of the optical system when the system is used for a large displacement measurement. It can also be used for measuring the position of the target mirror. The theoretical analysis is in good agreement with experimental results.     

EIT as a tool to observe dual wavelength operation of a semiconductor laser

We propose a simplified technique for dual wavelength operation of an extended cavity semiconductor laser, and its characterization using electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). In this laser cavity scheme light beam is made converging before it incidences on the cavity grating. The converging angle of the beam creates two longitudinal oscillating modes of resonating cavity. Frequency separation between the longitudinal modes are measured with the help of beat frequency generation in a photodiode and creating pair of EIT spectra in Rb vapor. The pair of EIT dips that are generated due to dual wavelength of this laser (that is used as control laser) can be used to estimate frequency difference between the generated wavelengths. Width of EIT spectra can be used to estimate linewidth of individual wavelength components.

Design of novel laser cavity with diffractive phase elements

A new method based on the general theory of amplitude-phase retrieval is proposed for designing the diffractive phase elements (DPEs) used in the laser cavity that can produce the desired mode with the specified shape of beam. Simulation results show that the laser cavity with the designed DPEs can successfully generate uniform square and triangle ring patterns. The loss of these fundamental modes is negligibly small and the separation of adjacent transverse modes is large enough to discriminate the fundamental mode from the higher-order modes.     

双微环谐振腔耦合的双波长半导体激光器（英）

提出一种新颖的单片集成双微环耦合的双波长半导体激光器结构。集成于激光腔内的2个微环谐振腔作为模式选择滤波器,通过游标效应选择谐振模式,同时还可作为等效的反射镜面以形成行波腔。这种无需解理的行波激光腔代替了需要解理面的法布里-珀罗驻波腔。理论仿真表明,跟驻波腔结构相比,行波腔双微环激光器结构简单,可获得约34 mA的较低的阈值电流和大于31 dB的边模抑制比。合理地控制有源区的增益峰值和谐振模式分布,该激光器能提供一致性和稳定性较好的双波长激光输出。     

猫眼腔激光器的横模变换与频率分裂

为了产生多种激光横模,以前的系统相对比较复杂,而且一般只能产生基横模和低阶横模,很难产生高阶横模,同时也很难观察到模竞争中一个频率抑制另一个频率的变化过程。基于猫眼谐振腔激光器和频率分裂技术,提出了一种新型的激光原理综合实验系统。该系统利用猫眼逆向器作为He-Ne激光器的一个腔镜,通过调节猫眼逆向器中两镜片间距可输出包括基横模、低阶横模、高阶横模在内的十余种典型横模,并可完成纵模、偏振、出光带宽等多种激光基本特性的实验。同时在基横模状态下,利用谐振腔内加入的石英晶体片可实现激光频率分裂及其频差调节。在此基础上又可实现完整的模竞争过程的观察。     

Numerical Analysis of Highly Birefringent Photonic Crystal Fibers with Bragg Reflectors

We analyze theoretically the coupling properties of Bragg gratings written in highly birefringent photonic crystal fibers with doped core and show how they can be tuned by the parameters of a microstructured fiber. We apply the coupled mode theory combined with a fully vectorial mode solver based on the plane-wave method. The results indicate large differences in interaction with the grating for the two linearly polarized fundamental modes. We show fiber designs, which provide single-mode operation with high birefringence and at the same time a high coupling efficiency of the grating. Such features can be used in fiber sensors, fiber laser configurations or to introduce a polarization dependent feedback in a long external cavity system with a semiconductor laser.     

Nonlinear localized modes in bandgap microcavities

We study experimentally an electrically pumped GaAs-based bandgap structure based on a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL). We demonstrate that a microcavity embedded into this bandgap VCSEL structure supports localized optical modes without any holding beam. We propose a model of surface-structured VCSELs based on a reduced dissipative wave equation for describing electromagnetic modes in such semiconductor cavities and analyze a crossover between linear and nonlinear solitonlike cavity modes.     

Single mode operation of a narrow bandwidth dye laser using a single prism, grazing incidence grating long cavity

The single mode pulsed dye laser is an attractive tool for many spectroscopic applications. Long cavity tunable dye lasers generally operate in multi-longitudinal modes within the bandwidth of gain profile. Single longitudinal mode oscillation can be obtained by either making the cavity short enough or introducing an additional loss mechanism, in which all modes but one have a gain less than their loss. A new technique to achieve single mode operation in a long cavity dye laser, based on Rhodamine 6G dye in ethanol and ethylene glycol solution, pumped by a high repetition rate copper vapor laser, is reported. This laser, which operates in three modes in grazing incidence grating configuration (cavity length of 16 cm), has been made to lase in single mode by increasing the loss in the resonator through beam walk-off.     

Tunable optical microwave source using spatially resolved laser eigenstates

A two-propagation-axis solid-state laser is shown to provide a widely tunable optical microwave source. The spatial separation of the laser eigenstates is shown to enable an étalon to act as a coarse tuner, forcing oscillation in any nonadjacent cavity modes. The frequency difference between opposite helicoidal eigenstates operating in nonadjacent cavity modes can then be tuned continuously. The beat note from such a solid-state laser is shown to vary from dc to 26 GHz, i.e., 30 times the laser free-spectral range, and is limited only by the free-spectral range of the étalon.
