Novel Design of Laser with SBS Phase Conjugation Mirror

The beam quality of a single-rod Nd: YAG laser with wavelength of 1.06 m was improved almost up to the diffraction limit by using a phase-conjugating mirror (PCM) based on stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) with acetone as the SBS medium. The new start cavity, which is the concave-convex cavity operating near the limit of stability in the g diagram, and the phase conjugation cavity of the SBS oscillator were designed. The thermal lens of the material with focal lengths of less than 140 m at pump powers of 60 J was compensated by the PCM. The laser is Q-switched by the nonlinear reflectivity of the PCM and the system works with an average repetition rate of about 5 kHz and single Q-switch pulse showed a width of 10 ns. It is demonstrated that if the start cavity is fit for SBS and the SBS phase conjugation mirror can be optimized, the beam quality of solid laser can be surely enhanced because of this technology of nonlinear optics.     

High Refractive-Index Microspheres as Optical Cavity Structure

Microspheres of refractive index of n_D > 2.0 have been investigated. The organic-inorganic hybrid microspheres of n_D = 1.72 were prepared by the vibrating orifice technique using titanium-tetra-n-butoxide (TTBu) and diphenyldimethoxysilane (DPhDMS). For lasing demonstration, Eu³⁺-doped microspheres were prepared using europium (III) thenoyltrifluoroacetonate [Eu(TTFA)₃] as the dopant. The particles have good spherical shape, smooth surface and high optical transparency. The diameters of the particles could be controlled to within 0.1 m. Subsequent heating of the microspheres at 550°C under oxygen atmosphere resulted in an increase in the refractive index up to n_D = 2.6 with retention of the spherical shape. Resonant emission was confirmed from Eu^{3 +}-doped microspheres after heating at 400–550°C, by pumping with the 514.5 nm line of a CW- Ar⁺laser.     

Stress State of an Elastic Space with a Toroidal‐Shaped Cavity

Solutions are obtained for the stress state problem for an elastic space with an internal toroidalshaped cavity that can be expanded in a trigonometric series in the angle in cylindrical coordinates. Displacements and stresses are specified on the boundary. An analytic solution of the problem is found using generalized analytic functions. Stresses and displacements of points in the elastic space are calculated.     

Finite-difference approach for the high-precision analysis of rotating-frame diffusion images

A finite-difference approach has been developed for precisely determining diffusion coefficient and T₁ relaxation time in fluid samples analyzed by magnetization-grating rotating-frame imaging (MAGROFI) with either a surface coil or a toroid cavity detector (TCD). This approach avoids shortcomings of phenomenologically based approximations, such as neglect of sample geometries with singularities at the confines of the sample volume, and accounts for the diffusive edge enhancement observed in fluid imaging. Error limits are discussed. The new method has been applied to the determination of the self-diffusion coefficient for MAGROFI experiments using TCDs filled with acetone.

Tunable subnanosecond laser pulse generation using an active mirror concept

We report (theory, experimental check) an improved approach for generation of a tunable, subnanosecond pulse (0.1–0.4 ns), based on a single pulsation (“spike”) separation from the transient oscillations in a dye laser with active mirror (AMIR). A pumping by 20–50 ns pulses from Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is considered. The separation is in original, two-spectral selective channels cavity, where the forced by AMIR quenched generation at one of the wavelength stops initially started spiking generation at the other wavelength after the first spike development. The AMIR quickly starts the quenching generation at a precisely controlled moment and with necessary intensity thus assuring the desired separation. An advantage is a high reproducibility of the separation for high (~250%) pump power fluctuations combined with tuning in large range (~20 nm). To obtain such an operation we form ~1 ns leading front pump pulse by electrooptical temporal cutting of the input pump pulse and use an optical delay line. This increases also a few times the power in the separated spike (to be ~100 kW). Our approach widens the combinations of lasers for effective applications of spike separation technique (dye lasers excited by Q-switched solid-state or Cu-vapor lasers).     

Boltzmann distribution of free energies in a finite-connectivity spin-glass system and the cavity approach

At sufficiently low temperatures, the configurational phase space of a large spin-glass system breaks into many separated domains, each of which is referred to as a macroscopic state. The system is able to visit all spin configurations of the same macroscopic state, while it can not spontaneously jump between two different macroscopic states. Ergodicity of the whole configurational phase space of the system, however, can be recovered if a temperature-annealing process is repeated an infinite number of times. In a heating-annealing cycle, the environmental temperature is first elevated to a high level and then decreased extremely slowly until a final low temperature T is reached. Different macroscopic states may be reached in different rounds of the annealing experiment; while the probability of finding the system in macroscopic state α decreases exponentially with the free energy F _α (T) of this state. For finite-connectivity spin glass systems, we use this free energy Boltzmann distribution to formulate the cavity approach of Mézard and Parisi [Eur. Phys. J. B, 2001, 20: 217] in a slightly different form. For the ±J spin-glass model on a random regular graph of degree K = 6, the predictions of the present work agree with earlier simulational and theoretical results.
