基于富勒烯纳米结构材料光限幅特性研究

应用倍频Nd:YAG脉冲激光,在波长为532nm,脉宽8ns,重复频率10Hz的条件下,研究了新型基于富勒烯纳米结构材料(C₆₀-bpy-Au)的光限幅特性.实验结果表明,其限幅特性较C₆₀有所提高,初步分析了光限幅和溶剂效应.     

Semiconductor saturable-absorber mirror passively Q-switched Yb：YAG microchip laser

A compact passively Q-switched Yb:YAG microchip laser is demonstrated.Featuring a semiconductor saturable-absorber mirror(SESAM),the laser yields pulses of 219 ps when the length of the microchip Yb:YAG crystal is 100 μm and the beam quality is M2< 1.3.To the best of our knowledge,pulses from the proposed laser are the shortest Q-switching pulses obtained from Yb:YAG microchip lasers currently available.
