Temperature Controlled Filamentation in Argon Gas

Temperature controlled filamentation is experimentally demonstrated in a temperature gradient gas-filled tube. The proper position of the tube is heated by a furnace and two ends of the tube are cooled by air. The experimental results show that multiple filaments are shrunken into a single filament or no filament only by increasing the temperature at the beginning of the filament. This technique offers another degree of freedom of controlling the filamentation and opens a new way for intense monocycle pulse generation through gradient temperature in a noble gas.     

光泵THz激光器复合型输出耦合镜的设计和研究

阐述了平行和楔形衬底复合型输出耦合镜(HOC)的反射率、透射率和损耗的计算方法,特别引入了品质因子进行损耗分析,可正确评价HOC质量的优劣。模拟了楔形衬底中楔角的变化对F-P效应调制的改善程度,楔角增大到0.3°时,HOC的透射率对波长和衬底厚度的微小变化不再敏感。楔形衬底使输出THz光斑在y方向上发生畸变,但0.3°楔角时输出光斑仍可保持较好的高斯形状。
