Demonstration of joule-level chirped pulse amplification based on tiled Ti:sapphire amplifier

A novel tiled Ti:sapphire(Ti:S)amplifier was experimentally demonstrated with>1 J amplified chirped pulse output.Two Ti:S crystals having dimensions of 14 mm×14 mm×25 mm were tiled as the gain medium in a four-pass amplifier.Maximum output energy of 1.18 J was obtained with 2.75 J pump energy.The energy conversion efficiency of the tiled Ti:S amplifier was comparable with a single Ti:S amplifier.The laser pulse having the maximum peak power of 28 TW was obtained after the compressor.Moreover,the influence of the beam gap on the far field was discussed.This novel tiled Ti:S amplifier technique can provide a potential way for 100 PW or EW lasers in the future.     

Ruddlesden-Popper型准二维钙钛矿温度依赖发光光谱研究

准二维Ruddlesden-Popper(R-P)卤化物钙钛矿具有优越的光电特性,在太阳能电池、发光二极管、激光器等光电器件中受到广泛关注,但严重影响载流子的弛豫和传输特性的激子-声子之间的相互作用还未得到充分揭示。与广泛研究的三维钙钛矿结构相比,准二维钙钛矿存在天然形成的量子阱结构,具有更大的激子结合能,激子效应更加明显,但对其激子-声子相互作用的研究仍然较少。因此,我们通过溶液法制备了准二维R-P型钙钛矿(PEA)₂Cs_n-1Pb_nBr_3n+1薄膜,其增益系数高达～1 090.62 cm^-1,获得了低阈值(～12.48μJ/cm²)的放大自发辐射。基于此,我们通过变温荧光光谱(77～300 K)和瞬态吸收光谱技术研究了(PEA)₂Cs_n-1Pb_nBr_3n+1薄膜随温度变化的发光特性,以阐述其内部的激子-声子相互作用对其发光性能的影响。发现在低温域内(77～120 K...     

Nonlinear compression of picosecond chirped pulse from thin-disk amplifier system through a gas-filled hollow-core fiber

We theoretically study the nonlinear compression of a 20-m J, 1030-nm picosecond chirped pulse from the thin-disk amplifier in a krypton gas-filled hollow-core fiber. The chirp from the thin-disk amplifier system has little influence on the initial pulse, however, it shows an effect on the nonlinear compression in hollow-core fiber. We use a large diameter hollow waveguide to restrict undesirable nonlinear effects such as ionization; on the other hand, we employ suitable gas pressure and fiber length to promise enough spectral broadening; with 600-μm, 6-bar(1 bar = 105Pa), 1.8-m hollow fiber,we obtain 31.5-fs pulse. Moreover, we calculate and discuss the optimal fiber lengths and gas pressures with different initial durations induced by different grating compression angles for reaching a given bandwidth. These results are meaningful for a compression scheme from picoseconds to femtoseconds.
