改善输出光束质量的环形凹面镜激光谐振腔的研究

武汉光电国家实验室工业激光器研究团队一直致力于高功率高光束质量激光器的研究,在新型谐振腔的研究中,获得授权发明专利3项,申请发明专利2项。该团队提出了一种新型激光谐振腔,即环形凹面镜激光谐振腔,该谐振腔由一个环形凹面反射镜和一个平面输出镜组成。理论模拟表明,菲涅尔系数为8．05的环形凹面镜激光谐振腔的输出光束M2因子接近于菲涅尔系数为2．01的平凹稳定腔的输出光束肝因子,环形凹面镜激光谐振腔的模体积为平凹稳定腔模体积的4倍。利用该谐振腔在高功率横流CO。激光器进行了试验研究,输出光束为等相位面的环形光斑,即近场为环形分布,远场（聚焦处）为中央亮斑分布。相同光阑尺寸的平凹稳定腔和环形凹面腔对比研究表明,在激光功率没有明显降低的情况下,输出光束的肝因子由平凹稳定腔的7．5提高了1．9。环形分布光束可以降低谐振腔镜片和外光路镜片的热畸变,对于高功率激光器的工业应用非常有意义。这种谐振腔结构简单,进一步解决其失调稳定性问题,将有助于该类谐振腔在多种工业激光器中获得应用。

Diffraction loss analysis of a plane-parallel optical cavity with a phase step and a slit aperture

A model for calculating the round trip diffraction loss in a plane-mirror cavity with an intracavity phase step and an infinite slit aperture is developed. The round trip remaining intensity fraction for the low order transverse cavity modes can be calculated for any given location of the slit aperture and the phase step along the cavity and for any given phase delay on the phase step. The diffraction loss on the slit aperture is found to be a periodic function of the phase delay on the phase step. Transformation of the lasing spectrum emitted from a broadband pulsed dye laser on moving the phase step along the oscillator cavity is reproduced theoretically. The lasing spectrum affected by the phase step is interpreted as the wavelength dependence of the remaining intensity fraction for the principal transverse mode.

Engineering the optical spring via intra-cavity optical-parametric amplification

The ‘optical spring’ results from dynamical back-action and can be used to improve the sensitivity of cavity-enhanced gravitational-wave detectors. The effect occurs if an oscillation of the cavity length results in an oscillation of the intra-cavity light power having such a phase relation that the light's radiation pressure force amplifies the oscillation of the cavity length. Here, we analyse a Michelson interferometer whose optical-spring cavity includes an additional optical-parametric amplifier with adjustable phase. We find that the phase of the parametric pump field is a versatile parameter for shaping the interferometer's spectral density.     

Detections of the Atomic States via the Phase Shifts of Transmitted Photons Through a Cavity

We propose an approach to detect an unknown quantum state of the atom(s) by measuring the phase shifts of the transmitted photons through a dispersively-coupled cavity. In the framework of the input-output theory, we derive the relations between the phase shifts of the transmitted photons and the states of the atom(s) in the cavity. It is shown that due to the dispersive interaction between the cavity and the atom(s), information about the atomic state can then be extracted by measuring the phase shifts of the transmitted photons through the cavity. The feasibility of the proposal is also discussed with the experimental parameters by numerical method.

Unconventional geometric quantum phase gates with two SQUIDs in a cavity

We present a potential scheme to implement two-qubit quantum phase gates through an unconventional geometric phase shift with two four-level SQUIDs in a cavity. The SQUID qubits undergo no transitions during the gate operation, while the cavity mode is displaced along a circle in the phase space, acquiring a geometric phase depending conditionally upon the SQUIDs’ states. Under certain conditions, the SQUID qubits are disentangled with the cavity mode and the SQUIDs’ states remain in their ground states during the gate operation, thus the gate is insensitive to both the SQUIDs’ “spontaneous emission” and the cavity decay.     

Phase-sensitive reflection of squeezed vacuum field in optical cavity

We experimentally investigate the optical cavity for various coupled regimes with an injected squeezed vacuum state. We measure the quantum fluctuation spectra of the reflected field of an optical cavity using the homodyne detection and present the spectral dependence on the absorption and dispersion properties of the cavity in the under-coupled, critically-coupled, and over-coupled regimes. The spectra lineshape is phase sensitive with the phase shift induced by the cavity. Moreover, we find that the over-coupled optical cavity has obvious advantage in the manipulation of quantum fluctuation.

Sub-20-fs terawatt-class laser system with a mirrorless regenerative amplifier and an adaptive phase controller

We have developed an ultrabroadband regenerative amplifier with a mirrorless cavity to eliminate the limitation of bandwidth of dielectric coats on cavity mirrors. The large amount of material dispersion in the Pellin-Broca prisms that are used instead of cavity mirrors is compensated for with a hybrid technique that uses Brewster prism pairs in the regenerative amplifier and an adaptive phase controller of a liquid-crystal spatial light modulator. We obtained a 16-fs pulse width with an energy of 13 mJ, which is to our knowledge the highest energy obtained in the sub-20-fs regime by use of an adaptive phase controller.
