Comparative investigation of resistance and ability to trigger high voltage discharge for single and multiple femtosecond filaments in air

A comparative investigation of resistance and ability to trigger high voltage (HV) discharge for single filament (SF) and multiple filaments (MF) has been carried out. The experimental results show that the trend of the breakdown threshold of the SF exactly follows that of its resistance, but this is not the case for the MF. The MF's resistance is much smaller than SF's. However, the MF shows a bit higher HV breakdown threshold than the SF. The underlying physics is that the measured resistance of the MF is collectively contributed by every filament in the MF while the HV breakdown threshold is determined by only one single discharging path.

空气中飞秒激光等离子体荧光辐射光谱研究

系统地研究了不同聚焦条件下飞秒激光空气等离子体的荧光辐射特性以及空间演化情况.在紧聚焦情况下,由于焦点附近比较高的激光强度以及比较高的电子密度,辐射光谱表现为连续谱和线状原子光谱的叠加.在弱聚焦情况下,辐射光谱主要由很多分子线谱组成,而没有观测到连续谱的产生.还研究了光谱谱线强度随激光传输距离的演化情况,结果显示,光谱谱线的强度变化在一定程度上间接反映了等离子体细丝的演化情况.     

飞秒激光等离子体单丝导电性能的空间分辨研究

对飞秒激光等离子体单丝的导电性能进行空间分辨研究. 在消除测量时引入的接触电阻的影响后,得到单丝电阻在280-630 kΩ/cm范围. 为了进一步研究单丝的导电性能,对单丝诱导放电能力进行了空间分辨测量. 结果显示,最低放电阈值降低至自发放电的~50%. 从每段细丝的电阻和诱导放电阈值的空间分布看出:在成丝阶段,二者的变化趋势基本一致,细丝的电阻值和放电阈值均在焦点附近出现迅速下降. 将每段细丝的电阻和放电阈值相对应,建立了细丝诱导放电阈值-电阻的线性拟合关系,证实了细丝电阻对放电阈值的影响. 关键词： 飞秒激光 等离子体丝 电阻率 接触电阻     

飞秒激光烧蚀硅表面产生等离子体的发射光谱研究

对中心波长为800 nm,脉宽为100 fs的激光脉冲烧蚀空气中硅(111)产生的等离子体发射光谱进行了时间和空间分辨研究. 结果表明,在等离子体羽膨胀初期(小于50 ns时间范围内),等离子体发射光谱主要由连续光谱构成,此后连续光谱强度逐渐减弱,线状光谱开始占主导地位;在羽体膨胀过程中离子谱线的存在时间短于原子谱线的存在时间. 由时间分辨发射光谱发现在羽体膨胀过程中等离子体辐射波长存在红移现象,波长红移量随时间演化呈二次指数衰减. 最后给出等离子体发射光谱谱线强度的时空演化规律. 关键词： 飞秒激光 脉冲激光烧蚀 等离子体 发射光谱
