Lithographical laser ablation using femtosecond laser

Lithographical laser ablation was demonstrated using a femtosecond laser with a lithographical optical system. In this method, a femtosecond laser beam passes through a mask and the pattern is imaged on a film by a coherent optical system. As a result, the film is lithographically ablated, and a micron-sized pattern can be generated in a single shot. The resolution of generation was 13 m, and the narrowest width of a generated line was about 4 m. Moreover, the system was applied to transmission gratings as masks, and nano-sized periodic structures such as nano-sized hole matrices and nano-meshes were generated in a single shot.

Solid-state laser system for laser cooling of sodium

We demonstrate a frequency-stabilized, all-solid laser source at 589 nm with up to 800 mW output power. The laser relies on sum-frequency generation from two laser sources at 1064 nm and 1319 nm through a PPKTP crystal in a doubly resonant cavity. We obtain conversion efficiencies as high as 2 W/W² after careful optimization of the cavity parameters. The output wavelength is tunable over 60 GHz, which is sufficient to lock on the sodium D₂ line. The robustness, beam quality, spectral narrowness and tunability of our source make it an alternative to dye lasers for atomic physics experiments with sodium atoms.

A free-electron laser pumped by the soliton laser

We propose a scheme for building a free-electron laser in the soft X-ray region pumped by the soliton laser. Making use of soliton laser wave evolution shape and single-pass small signal analysis, we find that this laser has two special advantages over the previous electromagnetic wave undulator free-electron lasers. One is a very small mass-shift effect because of the special characteristics of soliton laser; the other is that it has an additional frequency tuning effect based on the conventional free-electron laser's tunability. We also obtain the small signal gain and present some discussion.     

Fiber laser pumped burst-mode operated picosecond mid-infrared laser

We demonstrate a compact periodically poled MgO-doped lithium niobate(MgO:PPLN)-based optical parametric oscillator(OPO) quasi-synchronously pumped by a fiber laser system with burst-mode operation.The pump source is a peak-power-selectable pulse-multiplied picosecond Yb fiber laser.The chirped pulses from a figure of eight-cavity modelocked fiber laser seed are narrowed to a duration of less than 50 ps using an FBG reflector and a circulator.The narrowed pulses are directed to pass through a pulse multiplier and to form pulse bunches,each of which is composed of 13 subpulses.The obtained pulse bunches are amplified by two-stage fiber pre-amplifiers:one-stage is core-pumped and the other is cladding-pumped.A fiberized acousto-optic modulator is inserted to control the pulse repetition rate(PRR) of the pulse bunches before they are power-amplified in the final amplifier stage with a large mode area(LMA) PM Yb-doped fiber.The maximum average powers from the final amplifier are 85 W,60 W,and 45 W,respectively,corresponding to the PRR of2.72 MHz,1.36 MHz,and 0.68 MHz.The amplified pulses are directed to pump an MgO:PPLN-based optical parametric oscillator(OPO).A maximum peak power at 3.45 μm is obtained approximately to be 8.4 kW.Detailed performance characteristics are presented.     

A microprocessor-controlled laser grating system for laser tuning

An apparatus for tuning a laser system to different wavelengths has been developed. The controlling electronics consists of a microprocessor and stepper motor combination utilized to control the angular position of a laser cavity grating. A resolution of 0.09° per step has been obtained. Convenient, accurate, remote tuning of a laser is achieved with the output wavelength displayed and/or retained in system memory.     

Speckle-mirror laser

We report on a new laser feedback mechanism that uses speckle-pattern phenomena to create highly dispersive feedback. This speckle mirror is capable of creating laser emission as narrow as that from laser cavities using a number of dispersive elements such as gratings and prisms. Contributions from the peaks of intensity of the speckle patterns and a limited pumping-beam diameter are the basic conditions for the observation of this effect.
