A compact subnanosecond high power Nd:YAG laser system

In this paper, a high power Nd:YAG laser system is described, which consists of an actively-passively mode-locked Nd:YAG laser oscillator with variable subnanosecond pulsewidths (200 ps to 1 ns), a Pockels-cell shutter and a coaxial four-pass Nd:YAG amplifier. With the oscillator operating in the colliding pulse regime, and a BDN dye film as the saturable absorber, and an acousto-optic modulator as the active modelocker, we have achieved a shot-to-shot stability of the pulse-train amplitude < ±4%. For a 0.1 mJ, 200 ps laser pulse, we obtained four-pass amplification of 7 × 10² with a pump energy of 106 J.     

Tunable far-infrared Raman generation

Tunable resonance enhanced far-infrared stimulated Raman scattering was observed in 60–160 μm range for the Q(J) transitions in hydrogen chloride. The tuning range was about 2.3 cm^-1 around each studied transition (J = 2 to 7) and the photon efficiency was measured to be of the order of 12% giving peak power around 80 kW.     

Tunable high power fiber laser using an AWG as the tuning element

In this paper, a design of a High Power Tunable Fiber Laser (HP-TFL) in C-band region from 1536.7 to 1548.6 nm is set forth with Erbium Doped Fibers (EDFs) being used as a seeding signal and a booster amplifier. With a 1 × 16 channels Arrayed Waveguide Grating (AWG), this setup is capable of generating 16 different wavelengths with an average output power of 20.7 dBm.     

Design,construction and characterization of the compact ultrafast terahertz free-electron laser undulator

A compact ultrafast terahertz (CUTE) free-electron laser (FEL) is being developed at the Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology (RRCAT), Indore. The undulator required for the CUTE-FEL has recently been developed. We have designed, built and characterized a variable gap, 5 cm period, 2.5 m long pure permanent magnet undulator in two identical segments. The tolerable error in the magnetic field was 1% in rms, and we have measured it to be 0.7%. The obtained rms phase shake is around 2°. To ensure that the trajectories do not have an exit error in position or angle, corrector coils have been designed. Shimming coils have been applied for both the undulator segments to reduce the amplitude of the betatron oscillations in the vertical trajectory. Details of novel corrector coils and soft iron shims are given and their performance is discussed.      

Tunable X-ray laser from high energy accelerator

Future high energy accelerators are suggested as a source of tunable laser radiation in the X-ray region of the spectrum. The radiation would result from lasing on the Doppler shifted 2p-1s transition in beams of one-electron atoms.     

Tunable far-infrared spectroscopy extended to 9.1THz

We synthesized tunable far-infrared radiation at frequencies higher than 9 THz (300 cm (-1)) by mixing CO(2) laser, (15)NH(3) laser, and microwave radiation in a W-Co metal-insulator-metal diode. We used this farinfrared radiation to accurately measure torsion-rotation transitions of CH(3)OH in the 8-9-THz region. We also measured the frequency of the aP(7, 3) (15)NH(3) laser transition.

The multi-cavity free-electron laser

Analysis is made of a free-electron laser with many optical cavities where the cavities communicate with each other, not optically, but through the electron beam. Analytic analysis is made in a one-dimensional, linear approximation. A general expression is given for the growth rate in the exponential (high current) regime. In the regime where lethargy is important expressions are given in the two opposite limits of small and large numbers of cavities and bunches. Numerical simulation results, still in the one-dimensional approximation, but including nonlinearities, are presented. Three examples of the multi-cavity free-electron laser (MC/FEL) are presented.     

Pump-free crossed-field free-electron laser

Starting from basic concepts, we propose a new kind of free-electron laser (FEL): the pump-free crossed-field FEL in which the condition E_o+V_o×B_o=0 is not satisfied, and the electron orbit without radition fields and undulator or wiggler fields is not straight line (in planar configuration) or cycloid (in magnetron-like configuration). This paper presents a fluid dynamical analysis of the pump-free crossed-field FEL, in which the space charge effect is not taken into consideration. FEL instability is found near resonance . While no FEL instability is found near resonance      

Amplifying autophase free-electron laser

Plasma diagnostic applications on the TEXT tokamak using a high power, twin frequency optically pumped far-infrared laser

A high-power, twin-frequency, optically-pumped, far-infrared (FIR) laser has been developed at UCLA for diagnostic application on the TEXT tokamak. The source is operated at 245 GHz (=1.22 mm) for heterodyne scattering measurements and 694 GHz (=432 m) for high resolution interferometry. Future plans include a 30 channel interferometer/polarimeter operating at 694 GHz to accurately determine current profiles.     

Infrared free-electron laser measurement of power limiting by two-photon absorption in InSb

We have performed the first experiment on the free-electron laser (CLIO) at the Laboratoire pour l'Utilisation du Rayonnement Électromagnétique (LURE). In a transmission experiment we observed strong power limiting at wavelengths longer than the absorption edge associated with induced free carrier absorption produced by direct interband two-photon transitions in InSb. We have estimated the two-photon absorption (TPA) coefficient () of InSb at 8.9 m to be 2 cm MW^-1, by fitting the power-limiting effect with a simple theoretical model. An important feature of this result is that we are utilizing the broad tunability of the FEL to explore the TPA theory to shorter wavelengths than hitherto available with CO₂ lasers. The result is in broad agreement with the longer-wavelength measurements of Sheik-Bahae et al.     

Grazing-incidence far-infrared gas laser

First realization of a grazing-incidence gas laser is reported. For this purpose an optically pumped 496 m CH₃F laser is equipped with a cavity consisting of a diffraction grating and a resonant mirror. The observed resonances are interpreted with an approximative theory and related to distributed feedback.     

Tunable single-longitudinal-mode ErYb:glass laser locked by a bulk glass Bragg grating

A single-longitudinal-mode ErYb:glass laser with a linewidth of 90 kHz is demonstrated by locking the laser wavelength to 1552.6 nm with a bulk glass Bragg grating. Using a piezoelectric actuator, the wavelength could be tuned over a range of 0.25 nm (31 GHz) in steps of 17 pm (2.1 GHz), with an output power of a few milliwatts.
