抽运光强度对光学抽运重水气体产生THz激光的影响分析

利用半经典理论，对脉冲光学抽运重水气体产生THz激光信号过程进行分析，对其中抽运光强度与输出THz信号光之间的关系进行了数值计算和求解，结果表明，THz信号出射光强度跟抽运源入射光强度之间不满足简单的线性关系，而是呈现高阶的非线性关系.在工作介质腔长、气压和工作温度一定的条件下，存在最佳抽运光强度，在一定的抽运光强范围内，THz信号出射光强度与抽运源入射光强度的关系呈现近似线性的增长关系，抽运光能量和信号光能量之间的转换效率相对较高，当抽运光强超过一定值时，由于瓶颈效应的发生会导致THz输出信号的逐步减弱，并产生一定的频率调谐范围.

用受激拉曼泵浦方法高效制备v=2振动激发态氘分子

We report the preparation of D₂ molecules in v=2 level in molecular beam condition. A single longitudinal mode laser system was used for excitation of D₂ from (v=0, j=0) to (v=2, j=0) with the scheme of stimulated Raman pumping. An excitation efficiency of 25.2% has been achieved, which was determined by the scheme of resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization. Dependence of relative excitation efficiency on laser energy has been measured. We found that the increasing rate of excitation efficiency became slower as pulse energy of Stokes laser increase, while the excitation efficiency still increases approximately linearly with pump pulse energies up to 60 mJ. The spectral line shapes of Raman transition was also measured at different laser energies and considerable dynamical Stark effect was observed. A single peak was found on the three dimension surface of relative excitation efficiency, indicating the process occurred in the present study is a process of stimulated Raman pumping instead of stimulated adiabatic Raman passage.

Energy Transfer in an Optically Pumped D<Subscript>2</Subscript>O Gas THz Laser

We report on the mid-infrared (MIR) and terahertz (THz) wave spectra of D₂O gas pumped using a fundamental transverse mode transversely excited atmospheric CO₂ laser with an emission wavelength of 9.26 μm. We obtain MIR emission lines at center wavelengths of 9.262, 9.491, and 9.752 μm, which correspond to the vibrational-energy-level-transition lines of D₂O. We observe an intense THz stimulated Raman emission line of 385 μm and a weak cascade-transition line of 359 μm for transitions from rotational levels 4₂₂ to 4₁₃ and 4₁₃ to 4₀₄ in the first-excited vibration state of the D₂O molecule gas. We establish a four-energy-level system for modeling the laser kinetics of the dual-wavelength (385 and 359 μm) superradiation THz laser. For the optically pumped D₂O gas 385 μm THz laser, in considering the cavity effect and insertion loss of a THz cavity oscillator, an approximation treatment of the THz laser kinetics can be made based on a three-energy-level system.

Hydrogen and Deuterium Analysis Using Laser‐Induced Plasma Spectroscopy

Abstract

Hydrogen emission in laser plasma has been studied by focusing a TEA CO₂ laser and Nd‐YAG lasers on various types of samples, such as glass, quartz, and zircaloy pipes doped with hydrogen. It was found that H_α emission with a narrow spectral width occurs with high efficiency when the laser plasma is produced in low‐pressure host gas. In contrast, the conventional well‐known laser‐induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), which operates at atmospheric air pressure, cannot be applied for the analysis of hydrogen as impurity. The specific characteristic of hydrogen emission in low‐pressure plasma is interpreted on the basis of our shock wave model, taking account of the fact that the hydrogen mass is extremely light compared to that of the host target. Another experimental study on gas analysis was conducted using an Nd‐YAG laser and helium host gas at atmospheric pressure on a sample of mixed water (H₂O) and heavy water (D₂O) in vapor form. It was shown that completely resolved hydrogen (H_α) and deuterium (D_α) emission lines that are separated by only 0.179 nm could be obtained at a properly delayed detection time when the charged particles responsible for the strong Stark broadening effect in the plasma have mostly disappeared. It is argued that a helium metastable excited state plays the important role in the hydrogen excitation process.     

An injection-locked single-mode tea CO2 laser for SMM laser pumping

A D₂O laser has been developed for collective Thomson scattering measurements of ion temperature in high temperature plasmas. A pulse duration and a spectral width of a high power D₂O laser has been successfully controlled for this purpose, by using a TEA CO₂ laser injection-locked by an etalon-tuned TEA CO₂ laser as a pump source.     

Injection seeding for single-mode operation in an optically pumped high-power D2O laser

Spectrally narrow, pulsed outputs consisting of almost a single mode have been obtained from an optically-pumped high-power (200kW) D₂O laser by adopting the injection seeding method, where single-mode radiation (seed pulse) from a low-power, compact D₂O laser has been injected into the main D₂O laser. Spectrally narrow outputs with high power having spectral widths as narrow as 5 MHz have been obtained, when the seed pulses with frequency tuned to one longitudinal mode of the main D₂O laser have been injected at a time sufficiently before the lasing of the main laser took place. The experimental results have been compared with those of numerical simulation modified to include the injection field with varying injection times.     

Design considerations and scaling laws for high power convective cooled CW CO2 lasers

Various criteria for designing high power convective cooled CO₂ lasers have been discussed. Considering the saturation intensity, optical damage threshold of the optical resonator components and the small-signal gain, the scaling laws for designing high power CW CO₂ lasers have been established. In transverse flow CO₂ lasers having discharge of square cross-section, the discharge lengthL and its widthW for a specific laser powerP (Watt) and gas flow velocityV (cm/s) can be given byL = 1.4 x 10⁴ p ^1/2 V ^-1 cms andW = 0.04P ^1/2 cms. The optimum transmitivity of the output coupler is found to be almost constant (about 60%), independent of the small signal gain and laser power. In fast axial flow CO₂ lasers the gas flow should be divided into several discharge tubes to maintain the flow velocity within sonic limit. The discharge length in this type of laser does not depend explicitly on the laser power, instead it depends on the input power density in the discharge and the gas flow velocity. Various considerations for ensuring better laser beam quality are also discussed.
