激光波前相位因子对飞秒脉冲激光成丝动力学的影响

利用一个全阶色散非线性传输模型采用数值模拟的方法研究了初值条件中描述透镜聚焦效应的相位因子对飞秒脉冲激光成丝动力学的影响.研究发现,利用单色指数相位因子e^{－ik(0)r2/2f}来描述飞秒脉冲的透镜聚焦效应是不准确的,特别是对于周期量级超短激光脉冲的成丝现象,甚至会导致完全不同的成丝动力学过程.为了准确描述飞秒脉冲的透镜聚焦效应,必须采用准确的相位因子e^{－ik(0)r2关键词： 相位因子 成丝 飞秒脉冲 透镜聚焦}     

Red-Shift Conical Emission by Femtosecond Pulses at Low Input Power

Red-shift conical emission （CE） is observed by femtosecond laser pulse propagating in BK7 at a low input power （compared to those input powers for generation of blue-shift CE）. With the increasing input power the blue-shift CE begins to appear whereas the red-shift CE ring （902 nm in our experiment） disappears accompanied by the augment of the central white spot size synchronously. The disappearing of red-shift CE in our experiment is explained such that the increase of axial intensity is much higher than that of ring emission and the augment of the central white spot size with the increasing input laser power.     

A new method and instrument for accurately measuring interval between ultrashort pulses

Using second-order autocorrelation conception, a novel method and instrument for accurately measuring interval between two linearly polarized ultrashort pulses with real time were presented. The experiment demonstrated that the measuring method and instrument were simple and accurate (the measurement error < 5 fs). During measuring, there was no moving element resulting in dynamic measurement error.     

外加高压电场下空气中激光等离子体通道寿命研究

通过对飞秒激光在空气中产生的等离子体通道两端外加高压,来研究通道的寿命变化情况。实验得到,当在等离子体通道两端外加高压时(350 kV/m),等离子体通道寿命延长了近3倍。理论模拟和分析结果表明在外加电场条件下,碰撞电离得到增强,吸附作用相对减弱,解离复合系数随着电子平均能量的增加而下降的趋势更为剧烈,这进一步引起了等离子体通道寿命的延长。实验结果与理论分析共同表明了利用外加电场对空气中激光等离子体通道寿命进行延长的可行性。
