基于原子层沉积技术的石英管表面减反射膜的制备

采用原子层沉积(ALD)技术在石英管表面制备了薄膜,研究了该薄膜的均匀性,以及石英管的内径、外径、长度对沉积薄膜均匀性的影响。以单波长减反射膜为研究对象,实验测试的反射光谱与仿真结果一致,石英管表面最低反射率可降至0.17%。忽略夹具影响,石英管外壁与内壁的减反射薄膜的非均匀性基本一致,在±1.69%范围内,内外壁表面减反射薄膜的厚度和中心波长相同,且石英管尺寸对内外壁薄膜均匀性无明显影响。利用ALD技术可在大曲率元件的内外表面沉积厚度偏差小且均匀性分布相似的减反射薄膜。

High-dispersive mirror for pulse stretcher in femtosecond fiber laser amplification system

We present a high-dispersive multilayer mirror for pulse stretching in a femtosecond fiber laser amplification system. The designed mirror contains 54 layers with a total physical thickness of 7.3 μm, which can provide a positive group delay dispersion (GDD) of 600 fs² and a high reflectance over 99.9% from 1010 to 1070 nm. The samples were prepared by dual ion beam sputtering. The measured transmittance matches well with the theoretical result. The GDD characteristics of samples were tested by home-made white light interferometer. The measured GDD is higher than the design results, an average GDD of +722 fs² from 1010 nm to 1070 nm. The mirrors were employed in a Yb-doped large-mode-area photonic crystal fiber amplification system. An input pulse compressed by the gratings with autocorrelation function of 83 fs is obtained with a stretched FWHM of 1.29 ps after 28 bounces between the dispersive mirrors. The results show that the multilayer dispersive mirror could be an effective and promising technique for pulse stretching in femtosecond amplification systems.
