Preparation of high performance thin-film polarizers

<正>The optical performance of thin film polarizers is highly sensitive to the layer thicknesses of thin film.The thicknesses of the sensitive layers are optimized in order to gain broader polarizing zone in such case when the total layer thickness does not increase.An automatic layer thickness control system is established,and errors caused by different monitoring methods are analyzed.With this thickness control system,thin-film polarizers with T_p higher than 98%and T_p/T_s higher than 200:1(T_p and T_s are transmissions for p- and s-polarizations,respectively) with the bandwidth of 11 nm are prepared.Using the system allows for optimum repeatability of three successive runs.     

Surface relief resonant Brewster filters with multiple channels

In this paper, a new type of resonant Brewster filters （RBF） with surface relief structure for the multiple channels is first presented by using the rigorous coupled-wave analysis and the S-matrix method. By tuning the depth of homogeneous layer which is under the surface relief structure, the multiple channels phenomenon is obtained. Long range, extremely low sidebands and multiple channels are found when the RBF with surface relief structure is illuminated with Transverse Magnetic incident polarization light near the Brewster angle calculated with the effective media theory of sub wavelength grating. Moreover, the wavelengths of RBF with surface relief structure can be easily shifted by changing the depth of homogeneous layer while its optical properties such as low sideband reflection and narrow band are not spoiled when the depth is changed. Furthermore, the variation of the grating thickness does not effectively change the resonant wavelength of RBF, but have a remarkable effect on its line width, which is very useful for designing such filters with different line widths at desired wavelength.

角隅棱镜干涉仪中光的偏振与干涉

由于在角隅棱镜内的内反射,出射光的偏振状态一般区别于入射光的偏振状态。我们找到了Jones2×2变换矩阵,附录中计算了本征椭圆偏振态,讨论了由两块角隅棱镜组成的迈克尔逊干涉仪的各种形式,计算了条纹的衬度与两组条纹的相移。当一个臂的光束被棱线分为两部分,与另一臂的光束整束相干涉时,有可能得到π/L的相移,而且干涉场的衬度可超过90％。     

Laser-induced damage of 1064-nm narrow-band interference filters under different laser modes

The laser-induced damage behavior of narrow-band interference filters was investigated with a Nd:YAG laser at 1064 nm under single-pulse mode and free-running laser mode. The absorption measurement of such coatings has been performed by surface thermal lensing (STL) technique. The relationship between damage morphology and absorption under the two different laser modes was studied in detail. The explanation was given by the standing-wave distribution theory.

基于啁啾脉冲放大技术的超短脉冲激光系统是提供超快、超强激光的重要途径，具有良好输出波形和高损伤阈值的多层介质膜脉冲宽度压缩光栅是获得高峰值功率脉冲激光的关键. 基于傅里叶谱变换方法和严格模式理论，分析了多层介质膜光栅(MDG)在超短脉冲作用下的光学特性. 结果表明，当MDG的反射带宽小于具有高斯分布的入射脉冲的频谱宽度时，-1级反射脉冲呈非对称高斯分布，其前沿出现振荡，并且-1级反射脉冲能量开始剧烈下降. 讨论了MDG结构参数对其反射带宽的影响. 分析了MDG与超短脉冲作用时的近场光分布，对提高其抗激光损 关键词： 脉冲压缩光栅 傅里叶谱变换 模式理论 损伤阈值     

LBO晶体上1 064，532 nm倍频增透膜的镀制及性能分析

 用电子束蒸发沉积方法在X切LBO（X-LBO）晶体上镀制了两种不同膜系结构的1 064和532 nm倍频增透膜，其中一种膜系结构为基底/ZrO₂/Y₂O₃/Al₂O₃/SiO₂/空气，另一种为基底/0.5Al₂O₃/ZrO₂/Y₂O₃/Al₂O₃/SiO₂/空气，两种膜系结构的主要差别在于有无氧化铝过渡层。测量了薄膜的反射率光谱曲线，发现两种增透膜在1 064和532 nm处的反射率均小于0.5％，实际镀制结果与理论设计曲线的差异主要是由材料折射率的变化引起的。且对样品在空气环境中进行了温度为473 K的退火处理，结果发现两种膜系结构均表现了较优异的光学性能，氧化铝过渡层的加入使薄膜具有强的热应力性能。

Phase locking for two ytterbium-doped large-core fiber lasers has been demonstrated by using a self- imaging confocal resonator with a spatial filter.Steady high-contrast interference stripes are observed. The visibilities of coherent and incoherent stripes are 59% and 6%,respectively.The measured width of the central strip is in good agreement with the calculated result.For in-phase mode,the output power of the phase-locked fiber laser array is up to 113 W and corresponding slope efficiency is 38.5%.     

Influence of coating material on laser damage threshold of TiO_2 films

The optical property,structure,surface properties(roughness and defect density)and laser-induced dam- age threshold(LIDT)of TiO_2 films deposited by electronic beam(EB)evaporation of TiO_2(rutile),TiO_2 (anatase)and TiO_2 Ta_2O_5 composite materials are comparatively studied.All films show the polycrys- talline anatase TiO_2 structure.The loose sintering state and phase transformation during evaporating TiO_2 anatase slice lead to the high surface defect density,roughness and extinction coefficient,and low LIDT of films.The TiO_2 Ta_2O_5 composite films have the lowest extinction coefficient and the highest LIDT among all samples investigated.Guidance of selecting materials for high LIDT laser mirrors is given.

用电子束蒸发法制备出四种不同Y2O3含量的Y2O3稳定ZrO2（YSZ）薄膜,用X射线衍射和透射光谱测定薄膜的结构和光学性能.结果表明：随着Y2O3含量的增加,ZrO2薄膜从单斜相向高温相（四方相和立方相）转变,获得了结构稳定的YSZ薄膜；YSZ薄膜的晶粒尺寸都比ZrO2薄膜的大,但随着Y2O3加入量的增加,晶粒尺寸有减小的趋势,薄膜表面也趋向光滑平整.所有YSZ薄膜的透射谱线都与ZrO2薄膜相似,在可见光和红外光区都有较高的透过率.Y2O3的加入还可以改变薄膜的折射率,在一定范围内可得到所需的任意折射率.
