Ionization self-compression of intense femtosecond pulses propagating through gas-filled dielectric capillaries

A mechanism of the ionization-induced self-compression of femtosecond laser pulses propagating in a gas-filled hollow dielectric capillary has been investigated both experimentally and theoretically. In particular, the double self-compression of a laser pulse from 76 to 40 fs has been experimentally demonstrated. A theoretical model that explains the mechanism of such a self-compression and provides a good agreement with the experimental data has been developed. The model also predicts that a laser pulse shorter than 10 fs can be generated in the optimal regime with an energy efficiency exceeding the efficiency of self-compression on a filament widely discussed at present.     

Laser manipulation of a smectic liquid-crystal droplet

The laser trapping of a smectic-A liquid-crystal micro-droplet was spatially traced during its transient into the trapped position. The lateral and angular orientation of the droplet were determined and followed in time during the axial descent of the micro-droplet into the stationary trapped position using the analysis of polarization changes of the light passed through the droplet with temporal resolution of a video refresh rate of 30 ms. The spatial resolution of 0.1-1μm has been achieved for typical laser trapping powers of 2-600 mW. The axial profile of a laser trapping force (an ellipticity of the focal spot) has been determined. The laser trapping mechanism of smectic micro-droplets is discussed in terms of minimization of a light-droplet interaction.     

Spectroscopic studies of laser induced aluminum plasma using fundamental,second and third harmonics of a Nd:YAG laser

In the present work, we have studied the spatial evolution of the aluminum plasma produced by the fundamental (1064 nm), second (532 nm) and third (355 nm) harmonics of a Q-switched pulsed Nd:YAG laser. The experimentally observed line profiles of neutral aluminum have been used to extract the excitation temperature using Boltzmann plot method whereas the electron number density has been determined from the Stark broadened profiles. Besides we have studied the variation of excitation temperature and electron number density as a function of laser irradiance at atmospheric pressure. In addition, we have performed quantitative analysis of photon absorption and vapor ionization mechanism at three laser wavelengths and estimated the inverse bremsstrahlung (IB) absorption and photoionization (PI) coefficients. The validity of the assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium is discussed in the light of the experimental results.     

Optical energy balance in laser-produced plasmas

Optical energy balance in plasmas produced by irradiating solid targets by highpower laser pulses, has been experimentally determined. The total light scattered has been measured as a function of the laser intensity and the irratiated spot diameter. It has been found that the net light absorption does not depend on the laser intensity alone, but is also affected by the irradiated spot area. It has also been observed that diffuse back reflection becomes a dominant loss mechanism at high incident flux and small irradiated spot area.

Surface scattering resonance absorption of free electron in nano structured materials

A physical model has been established for calculating the electronic transportation in nano structured material when it is irradiated by a laser pulse with a power density in a magnitude of GW/cm².
