单端泵浦光纤放大器获得4 kW单模窄谱激光输出

窄谱光纤激光器在光束合成等领域有着广泛的应用,然而模式不稳定效应的出现严重限制着窄谱光纤激光器的功率提升。提出并验证了采用新型981 nm稳波长泵浦方案,能够应用于窄谱激光放大并提升模式不稳定效应阈值,通过采用单端后向泵浦结构,将单模窄谱光纤放大器功率提至4 kW以上。实验中采用白噪声相位调制展宽单频激光作为窄谱种子,主放大级分别采用稳波长976 nm和981 nm两种泵浦源单端后向泵浦。在采用976 nm泵浦源泵浦时,窄谱激光最高放大至3.4 kW,出现典型的模式不稳定效应特征,功率提升受到限制。在采用981 nm泵浦源泵浦时,窄谱激光最高放大至4.05 kW,且并未出现模式不稳定效应,输出光束质量M2因子为1.3,进一步功率提升仅受限于泵浦功率。通过优化激光器设计、结合双向泵浦结构,有望实现更高功率的窄谱光纤激光输出。     

Bandwidth-tunable silicon nitride microring resonators

We designed a reconfigurable dual-interferometer coupled silicon nitride microring resonator.By tuning the integrated heater on interferometer's arms,the"critical coupling"bandwidth of resonant mode is continuously adjustable whose quality factor varies from 7.9×10⁴ to 1.9×10⁵ with the extinction ratio keeping higher than 25 dB.Also a variety of coupling spanning from"under-coupling"to"over-coupling"were achieved,showing the ability to tune the quality factor from 6.0×10³ to 2.3×10⁵.Our design can provide an adjustable filtering method on silicon nitride photonic chip and contribute to optimize the nonlinear process for quantum photonics and all-optical signal processing.     

Research on thermal protection mechanism of forward-facing cavity and opposing jet combinatorial thermal protection system

Validated by the correlated experiments, a nose-tip with forward-facing cavity/opposing jet/the combinatorial configuration of forward-facing cavity and opposing jet thermal protection system (TPS) are investigated numerically. The physical mechanism of these TPS is discussed, and the cooling efficiency of them is compared. The combinatorial system is more suitable to be the TPS for the high speed vehicles which need fly under various flow conditions with long-range and long time.

Design and analysis of a novel noncollinear acousto-optic tunable filter

The design of a noncollinear acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) is commonly based on parallel tangent momentum-matching condition. Previous studies have either moving parts or modulation. These approaches would obviously decrease the accuracy of an acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) since it will be influenced by vibration or by an extended measurement time. In this paper, we introduce a novel noncollinear acousto-optic tunable filter division-of-amplitude photopolarimeter (DOAP). It is completely characterized by a wavelength-dependent 4 × 4 matrix that can be determined directly by calibration. The instrument has neither moving parts nor modulation. Besides, this system can acquire the image, spectral and polarization information of an object simultaneously.     

Light field characteristics of reflective thin-films irradiated by femtosecond laser pulses

The formation of interference field in optical thin-films is a process of unsteady state when irradiated by femtosecond pulses. Based on the methods of plane-wave decomposition and the using of thin-film characteristic matrix, the model is presented focusing on the issues of mirror reflectance and internal light field in femtosecond timescale. The numerical results reveal that with the decrease of the pulse width a reduction of reflection performance occurs. In addition, the traditional approach that simplifies the incident femtosecond pulse to monochromatic continuous wave cannot get the exact value of the light field magnitude and the temporal profile of ultrashort laser pulse should be taken into account to reach more accurate results.     

Transient reflectance spectra of adaptive filters based on dynamic population gratings

We propose a novel and practical method to exactly measure the transient reflectance spectra (TRS) of the adaptive filters based on dynamic population gratings. The modulating signals applied to the laser source play an important role. We specially designed a train of triangular amplitude modulated pulses with a small duty to modulate the laser frequency, and then the TRS was obtained from the grating responses to this pulse train. The measured half-zero-point bandwidths of the filter with and without 2.6 m cavity length are 20 and 60 MHz, respectively. Our research also indicates that the relatively high input power and a short cavity length may enhance the antiperturbation ability of lasers.     

Novel coordinate system for Gaussian beam reflection

A novel coordinate system for Gaussian beam reflection has been proposed in this Letter. Reflection from a spherical mirror is used to describe the novel coordinate system. One single segment of a general resonator is chosen to describe coordinate rotation in detail. Nonplanar ring resonators are chosen to show the application of the novel coordinate system. This novel coordinate system has been proved by two simple experiments and the problem existing in using the traditional coordinate system has been pointed out. This novel coordinate system is valuable for not only the designing of laser resonators but also Gaussian beam propagation analysis.     

准同心广义经纬相机的成像模型及高精度标定

对于大尺度运动目标的参数测量,固定相机存在着视场与空间分辨率之间的矛盾,并且当测量空中或海上目标时相机的标定也十分困难。跟踪式相机(如光电经纬仪)能解决此问题,但存在体积大、成本高和操作复杂等缺点。结合两者特点取长补短,将相机固定在二维旋转平台上,尽可能实现同心放置,组成准同心广义经纬相机进行中远场高精度测量,测量过程中转台实时跟踪目标并为相机提供外参数。此方法并没有光电经纬仪非常严格的同心同轴的安装要求。在合理假设基础上建立了经纬相机成像模型,提出了线性求解及平差优化相机参数的方法。大量仿真与实际测量验证了模型和标定方法的正确性和高精度。广义经纬相机测量系统组合巧妙、装拆和操作简单、体积小、成本低、可全视场测量且测量精度高,有广泛且重要的应用前景。
