Transmission of a Gaussian beam after incidenting nonnormally on a Fabry–Perot etalon: a nonresonant case

Under the nonresonant case where the carrier frequency of a Gaussian beam deviates from the resonant frequency of a Fabry–Perot etalon, the transmission of a Gaussian beam after incidenting nonnormally on a Fabry–Perot etalon has been investigated. The results show that under the nonresonant case, variations of the peak intensity, the position of the peak intensity and the spot size of the transmitted beam with the input angle behave differently and even with a reversed tendency compared with those obtained under the resonant case.

Generation of sub‐terahertz repetition rates from a monolithic self‐mode‐locked laser coupled with an external Fabry‐Perot cavity

A novel scheme to multiply the repetition rate of a monolithic self‐mode‐locked laser for generating sub‐terahertz pulse sources is successfully demonstrated. A coated Yb:KGW crystal is designed to achieve a self‐mode‐locked operation at a repetition rate of 24 GHz with an average output power exceeding 1.0 W at a pump power of 4.8 W. A partially reflective mirror is utilized to combine with the output surface of the gain medium to constitute an external Fabry‐Perot cavity. It is theoretically and experimentally verified that adjusting the external cavity length to satisfy the commensurate condition can lead to the frequency spacing to be various order harmonics of the mode spacing of the monolithic cavity. The maximum pulse repetition rate of the laser output can be up to 216 GHz and the pulse duration is as short as 330 fs. More importantly, the overall characteristics of the first‐order temporal autocorrelation traces obtained by sequentially scanning the external cavity.length display an intriguing phenomenon of temporally fractional revivals, similar to the feature of spatial Talbot revivals.

针对固体介质间隔层的镀膜标准具, 以1 064 nm激光镀膜标准具为例, 首先研究了反射膜堆数对反射带宽、基底厚度以及对自由光谱区的影响:标准具的带宽随着膜层堆数增加而减小, 自由光谱区随着基板厚度的增加而减小;其次研究了基底误差对标准具中心波长定位和透过率的影响, 通过定量数值计算证明了基底误差可通过标准具的使用角度补偿;针对典型的H(LH)^m/Substrate/(HL)^mH和L(LH)^m/Substrate/(HL)^mL两个膜系结构, 研究了入射激光发散角对标准具中心波长偏移、通带半宽度、中心波长透过率和最大透过率的影响。随着激光发散角的增加, 中心波长向短波方向移动, 通带半宽度、中心波长透过率和最大透过率呈现下降的趋势, 并且第二个膜系结构的标准具性能优于第一个膜系结构的标准具。     

Low tropospheric wind measurement with Mie Doppler Lidar

A double edge Mie Doppler lidar at 1064 nm was developed in Hefei, China in 2005 for low tropospheric wind measurement. Intercomparison experiments with a wind profiler and a wiresonde were held. Intercomparisons of concurrent lidar and other instrument observations show good agreement with expected measurement accuracy. The examples of validated lidar wind profiles obtained during these experiments as well as an example of continuous wind observations are presented. The instrument has demonstrated the capability of atmospheric wind field measurement from 0.2 to 5 km altitude, achieving below 2 m/s accuracy with 1 min averaging and 21.2 m vertical resolution.     

Precision Resonator Microwave Spectroscopy in Millimeter and Submillimeter Range

By the use of Fabry–Perot resonator with quality factor 600 000 and fast precision (down to one Hertz) frequency control of coherent millimeterwave radiation source the 20 Hz accuracy in measurements of the width of resonance curve is obtained. This accuracy corresponds to the detection of 1.8 × 10^–3 dB/km absorption in the sample filling the resonator and exceeds the before known sensitivity more than by an order of magnitude. The example of precise measurement of 60 GHz oxygen absorption band in the real atmosphere is presented. The new possibilities of application of precision resonator microwave spectroscopy to the atmospheric problems as well as to the ultra-low absorptions measurements in dielectrics and metal surfaces up to Terahertz frequencies are discussed.
