A Q-Swicthed All-Solid-State Single-Longitudinal-Mode Laser with Adjustable Pulse-Width and High Repetition Rate

A single-longitudinal-mode （SLM） laser-diode pumped Nd： YAG laser with adjustable pulse width is developed by using the techniques of pre-lasing and changing polarization of birefingent crystal The Q-switching voltage is triggered by the peak of the pre-lasing pulse to achieve the higher stability of output pulse energy. The output energy of more than I mJ is obtained with output energy stability of 3% （rms） at lOO Hz. The pulsewidth can be adjusted from 30ns to 300ns by changing the Q-switching voltage. The probability of putting out single-longitudinal-mode pulses is almost 100%. The laser can be run over four hours continually without mode hopping.     

Highly Stable, Diode-Pumped Nd：YLF Regenerative Amplifier

We present the design and experimental results for a diode pumped Nd：YLF regenerative amplifier applied to amplify a nanosecond laser pulse. Numerical simulation shows that the maximum output energy and the best stability can be obtained when the regenerative amplifier operates in a saturated mode for all pulse duration and temporal profiles. Using extra post-pulse is a good method to decrease the square-pulse distortion caused by gain saturation effect. The amplifier shows output energy of 4.2mJ with a total energy gain of more than 10^7 and output energy stability of better than 1% rms. When extra post-pulse is added, square-pulse distortion is decreased from 1.33 to 1.17 for the amplifier that is seeded with an optical pulse of 3ns.

高稳定高转换效率光参变放大器倍频抽运光源研究

为了实现光参变放大抽运光源高稳定输出的目的。通过对倍频过程的数值模拟分析,提出倍频中存在“稳定区”的概念,在基频光强一定的条件下(小于倍频晶体破坏阈值),通过非共线双程倍频的方式或串联倍频的方式可有效延长倍频晶体的有效作用长度,保证倍频工作区能够被控制在“稳定区”内,从而实现高稳定高转换效率的倍频输出。实验数据验证了这一结论,实验中,利用非共线双程倍频的方式使得倍频工作区在“稳定区”内,对波动±5.7%的1064 nm高斯脉冲基频光,倍频光波动小于±2%,脉冲形状为高阶高斯脉冲,转换效率大于70%,实验结果表明,倍频光的稳定性指标相对于基频光提高了近3倍。     

Pulse re-shaping by using a liquid crystal spatial light modulator and deflector for producing a specific waveform

A new shaping method for producing nanosecond pulses with specific shape is introduced. When a Gaussian laser pulse passes through an electro-optic deflector, it has been scanned as a line on the focal plane according to time precedence. Through controlling the intensity of transmitted light on each pixel of the liquid crystal spatial light modulator (LCSLM), various complicated pulses can be easily produced. Using this method, various specific shaped pulses with pulse duration varying from 750 ps to 5 ns are achieved.

针对波长1053 nm, 0°高反介质膜元件, 采用有限时域差分法, 模拟分析了损伤修复点边缘与法线的夹角对膜层内电场强度分布的影响, 该角度越小, 修复点的损伤阈值越高. 通过优化飞秒激光微加工过程中的焦斑尺寸、脉冲能量、扫描步长和扫描次数等参数, 获得了夹角为25°、深度为14 μm的修复点. 该修复点典型的损伤阈值为21 J/cm², 是修复前的2.3倍, 50个修复点的测试结果表明该修复参数具有非常好的可重复性. 修复点的测试结果还验证了修复点边缘与法线的夹角大小与其损伤阈值的关系, 45°的电场强度最大值约为25°的2.5倍, 而45°的损伤阈值约为25°的1/2, 模拟和实验结果一致性较好. 同时, 实验验证了微加工的激光脉宽对修复点损伤阈值的影响, 在只改变脉宽的情况下, 脉宽越长, 损伤阈值越低.
