啁啾脉冲放大系统空间特性的优化分析

采用Franz-Nodvik模型,通过模拟计算,系统地分析了啁啾脉冲放大(CPA)过程中抽运光和信号光能量密度以及晶体参量对放大器输出能量和转换效率的影响。将理论模拟与实验结果进行比较,证明了理论分析的有效性。计算结果表明:在啁啾脉冲放大系统中,存在一个抽运光最佳能量密度。合理选择抽运光的能量密度可以有效提高系统的能量转换效率和稳定性,而且还可以大大降低系统对注入信号光能量的要求以及由于信号光能量抖动所造成的输出不稳定性。

Control of electron localization in the dissociation of H2+ and its isotopes with a THz pulse

The molecular dissociation with a two-laser-pulse scheme is theoretically investigated for the hydrogen molecular ion(H+2)and its isotopes(HD+and HT+).The terahertz pulse is used to steer the electron motion after it has been excited by an ultrashort ultraviolet laser pulse and an unprecedented electron localization ratio can be achieved.With the coupled equations,the mass effect of the nuclei on the effective time of the electron localization control is discussed.     

Improvement of the large aperture Ti：sapphire amplifiers in the petawatt femtosecond laser system at SIOM

We report the recent improvement on the petawatt (PW) femtosecond Ti:sapphire chirped pulse amplification (CPA) laser system at Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics (SIOM), Chinese Academy of Sciences. By enlarging the sizes of the pump and signal beams in the large aperture Ti:sapphire amplifiers and optimizing the whole laser system, the output laser energy before the pulse compressor is upgraded to 42.6 J. Accordingly, the peak power of the laser system exceeds 1 PW. The shot-to-shot instability of the output laser energy at about 40 J is less than ±5%.
