可调谐艾里光束及其传输特性

艾里光束是一种新型无衍射光束,解决了激光在传播过程中的衍射效应。基于艾里变换技术,介绍一种可以通过椭圆平顶高斯光束产生的新型艾里光束,即可调谐艾里光束。通过理论计算,可以看出调节椭圆平顶高斯光束的束宽比可获得单尾艾里光束,同时,可调谐艾里光束的尾长可以通过调节入射椭圆平顶高斯光束的阶数来控制。通过研究,当束宽比p=1时,艾里光束的加速方向沿x轴45方向;p=1/2时,加速方向沿x轴31方向,p=1/3时,加速方向为沿x正方向,可见调节束宽比p的大小可以改变艾里光束的加速方向。     

组合光纤中受激拉曼散射和四波混频研究

在抽运光和耦合条件不变的情况下,研究了熔接组合的非零色散位移单模光纤(NZDSF)和标准单模光纤(SMF)中的受激拉曼散射(SRS)和四波混频(FWM)产生和传输特征。采用532 nm脉冲激光抽运NZDSF,从20 m处开始产生以LP₀₁模传输的SRS第一级Stokes光;紧接着在30 m处产生了FWM,SRS受到FWM抑制,传输模式逐渐转化为LP₁₁模;经过80 m处熔接点后,由于熔接处双锥光纤结构使光场模式互相干涉,光波模式恢复为LP₀₁模,FWM受到抑制。该现象和机理有利于抑制密集波分复用(DWDM)系统中光学非线性失真和促进光孤子通信系统的发展。

一种用于减少相位突变点的衍射光学元件改进设计方法

提出了一种基于数字图像处理技术的用于降低相位突变点的改进型Gerchbery-Saxton(G-S)衍射光学元件设计方法。与普通的G-S衍射光学元件设计算法相比,这种改进型的G-S算法能够使得衍射光学元件的相位分布曲线更加光滑,并且在迭代计算过程中具有更强的收敛能力。利用该种算法获得了由高斯光束变换成空心光束时所需要的衍射光学元件的相位分布,在同样参数条件下,均方根误差为8.31%,优于普通G-S算法的9.46%;并且约有33.2%的像素的相位值得到了改进,从而平滑了衍射光学元件的相位分布曲线,便于实际的微加工。

6.2-W deep blue light generation by intracavity frequency-doubled Nd:GdVO_4 using BiBO

Efficient continuous-wave(CW)intracavity frequency doubling of a diode-end-pumped Nd:GdVO_4 laser operating on ~4F_(3/2)-~4I_(9/2)transitions at 912 nm has been demonstrated.A symmetrical cavity with two laser rods is designed,which divides the pump power between the two laser rods,allowing for greater power scalability.An 18-mm-long BiBO crystal,cut for critical type I phase matching,is used for the intracavity frequency-doubled laser.A maximum output power of 6.2 W in the blue spectral range at 456 nm has been achieved with the pump power of 36 W.The beam quality M~2 value is 2.5 in both horizontal and vertical directions.The ellipticity of the deep blue laser is 0.98,and the power stability is better than 3.2% at the maximum output power.     

湍流介质折射率结构常数C_n~2对双半高斯空心光束传输特性影响的研究

基于瑞利-索末菲衍射积分理论,利用交叉谱密度函数推导出双半高斯空心光束在湍流大气中传输时的解析表达式,并主要研究了湍流介质折射率结构常数C2n对空心光束传输特性的影响,得到了双半高斯空心光束在不同条件下传输时的光强分布.研究表明,C2n的增大加剧了近场中传输的空心光束的衍射效应,这不仅缩短了空心光束完全演变成为高斯光束时所需的传输距离,而且还增加了此后高斯光束向外扩展的程度.     

Highly efficient Nd:YAG/LBO laser at 473 nm under direct 885-nm diode laser pumping

<正>In diode pumped Nd:YAG lasers,the quantum defect is the most important parameter determining the thermal load of the laser crystal,which can be dramatically reduced by pumping directly into the upper laser level.A compact folded three-mirror cavity with a length of 105 mm is optimized to obtain a highly efficient 473-nm laser.When the absorbed pump power(with 15.8-W incident pump power) at 885 nm into Nd:YAG is 10 W,a continuous-wave 473-nm blue laser as high as 2.34 W is achieved by LBO intra-cavity frequency doubled.The optical-to-optical conversion efficiency is 14.8%.To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest efficiency at 473 nm by an intra-cavity doubled frequency Nd:YAG laser.
