Obtaining Single Picosecond Pulses in a Short-Cavity Dye Laser with Switching of Lasing to the Saturable Absorber

A new method of lasing of single picosecond pulses in a short-cavity dye laser with spatial separation of the lasing medium and the saturable absorber in the case of pumping by nanosecond pulses with energies much higher than the oscillation threshold has been developed and experimentally realized. The method is based on the use of a high-Q, external cavity tuned to the amplification wavelength of the saturable absorber. The first picosecond pulse is lased at a lasing-medium wavelength and the subsequent pulses are lased at a saturable-absorber amplification wavelength.     

Singly resonant optical parametric oscillation in periodically poled lithium niobate waveguides

We report quasi-phase-matched singly resonant optical parametric oscillation in electric-field-poled lithium niobate waveguides. Parametric gains as high as 250%/W, an oscillation threshold of 1.6 W (peak), idler output powers of 220 mW, and a tuning range of 1180-2080 nm for pump wavelengths of 756-772 nm have been observed. Pump depletion is limited to 40% because of the multiple launched transverse modes at the pump wavelength. We predict that fully optimized waveguide singly resonant oscillators can have thresholds of ~100 mW, accessible to cw diode pumping.     

Gyrotron travelling wave amplifier: I. Analysis of oscillations

The operation of the gyrotron travelling wave amplifier is based on the convective cyclotron maser instability. It is found that this convective instability may become absolute (nonconvective) at a sufficiently high current level, resulting in oscillation instead of amplification. This threshold current for the transition depends sensitively on the applied magnetic field. The axial wavelength and the characteristic frequency of oscillation at the onset of absolute instability are given. It is found that momentum spread has virtually no effect on the threshold current. A small amount of resistive wall loss, however, raises the threshold current significantly. Oscillations due to partial reflection at the ends of the system are also examined. Preliminary experimental results on both types of oscillations are reported and are found to be in good agreement with the theory.     

Optical parametric oscillation in RDA

Optical parametric oscillation has been observed in a crystal of rubidium dihydrogen arsenate (RDA) which was pumped by the second harmonic of a Q-switched ruby laser. The oscillator has a potential tuning range of 575 nm to 875 nm. The efficiency of the present oscillator is limited by the damage threshold of the mirrors at the ruby harmonic wavelength.     

Oscillation wavelength of fiber Bragg grating semiconductor lasers

Based on the physical fact that a laser containing a gain medium with homogenous line broadening oscillates at the wavelength which requires the smallest threshold gain due to the mode competition effect, after taking into account the wavelength-depended reflectivity distribution profile of a fiber Bragg grating, the oscillation wavelength λ_l of fiber Bragg grating semiconductor lasers has been investigated theoretically. The results show that the laser oscillation wavelength λ_B is not fixed at the Bragg reflection wavelength λ_l of fiber Bragg grating, and the offset between λ_B and λ_l depends on the reflectivity distribution profile of fiber Bragg grating and the gain profile of semiconductor gain medium.     

Room-temperature continuous wave laser oscillations in Nd:YAG ceramic waveguides produced by carbon ion implantation

We report on the generation of continuous wave lasers at a wavelength of ∼1064 nm in a Nd:YAG ceramic waveguide at room temperature. The waveguide was fabricated by using 6 MeV carbon ion implantation at a fluence of 3×10¹⁴ ions/cm². Laser operation has been realized with a slope efficiency as high as ∼11%. The pump threshold of an 808-nm laser beam for the waveguide laser oscillation is 19.5 mW.     

Si homojunction structured near-infrared laser based on a phonon-assisted process

We fabricated several near-infrared Si laser devices (wavelength ～1300 nm) showing continuous-wave oscillation at room temperature by using a phonon-assisted process induced by dressed photons. Their optical resonators were formed of ridge waveguides with a width of 10 μm and a thickness of 2 μm, with two cleaved facets, and the resonator lengths were 250–1000 μm. The oscillation threshold currents of these Si lasers were 50–60 mA. From near-field and far-field images of the optical radiation pattern, we observed the high directivity which is characteristic of a laser beam. Typical values of the threshold current density for laser oscillation, the ratio of powers in the TE polarization and TM polarization during oscillation, the optical output power at a current of 60 mA, and the external differential quantum efficiency were 1.1–2.0 kA/cm², 8:1, 50 μW, and 1 %, respectively.     

Continuous-wave room-temperature laser oscillation of Cr(3+):MgO

Continuous-wave laser oscillation of Cr(3+):MgO at room temperature was realized under argon-ion laser pumping at 476 and 514 nm. The free-running laser wavelength was 840 nm, and with different mirror sets laser oscillation at 824, 830, 870, and 878 nm was also realized. With different crystals a maximum output power of 48 mW and a lowest threshold with respect to the absorbed pump power of 80 mW were realized. The slope efficiencies with respect to the absorbed pump power were as high as 2.3%. No thermal effects were observed for absorbed pump powers as great as 2.7 W.     

Intra-cavity power effects in singly resonant cw OPOs

A continuous wave singly resonant optical parametric oscillator (cw SRO) has been developed that can be pumped at a level of up to 15 times its oscillation threshold by a single frequency fiber laser pump source. We report the observation of extremely high intra-cavity circulating powers of over 1 kW at the signal wavelength, and associated effects including heating of the nonlinear crystal, and beam quality degradation. Furthermore we show that these effects may be mitigated by implementing output coupling, while also extracting multi-Watt single frequency power output at both signal and idler wavelengths.
