Optimum design of aspheric collimation lenses for optical antenna system

Three kinds of aspheric collimation lenses for optical antenna have been design by optimization. The aspheric cylinder collimation lenses with aspheric surfaces (such as elliptic, hyperbolic and parabolic marginal profiles) have been researched for the semiconductor laser beam with the characteristic of dot emitting source. Based on genetic algorithm and the optimization toolbox of MTLAB, the divergence angle has been optimized. The collimation divergence angle is less than 115 μrad has been measured by laser beam analyzer. This optimum design laser beam collimation lenses as a pre-collimation system can be used for optical antenna system. And it can be widely used in modern space laser communication.

Wavefront evolution of the signal beam in Ti:sapphire chirped pulse amplifier

We studied the evolution of wavefront aberration(WFA) of a signal beam during amplification in a Ti:sapphire chirped pulse amplification(CPA) system. The results verified that the WFA of the amplified laser beam has little relation with the change of the pump beam energies. Transverse parasitic lasing that might occur in CPA hardly affects the wavefront of the signal beam. Thermal effects were also considered in this study, and the results show that the thermal effect cumulated in multiple amplification processes also has no obvious influence on the wavefront of the signal beam for a single-shot frequency. The results presented in this paper confirmed experimentally that the amplification in a Ti:sapphire CPA system has little impact on the WFA of the signal beam and it is very helpful for wavefront correction of single-shot PW and multi-PW laser systems based on Ti:sapphire.     

Influence of transverse effects on coherence length measurements using two-beam interferences

It has been demonstrated in a previous work (Opt. Commun. 233 (2004) 39-43), for a monochromatic laser beam, that imperfect collimation leads to systematic errors in the determination of the spectral bandwidth of a Gaussian beam. In this work, we demonstrate that such transverse effects could also make wrong the measurement of the coherence length of a non-monochromatic Gaussian beam. In addition, we have demonstrated that this systematic error is increased when the laser beam under study is made up of a mixing of spatial modes.     

Design of aspheric collimation system for semiconductor laser beam

In this paper, semiconductor laser beam collimation lenses system has been optimum simulated and designed. The new design methods for aspheric cylinder lenses collimation system have been discussed in detail and the system parameters are calculated and optimized by using a geometrical ray optics approximation. The optical system has been further simulated by software MATLAB, and the simulation results showed that the emergence angle can be collimated effectively, and the output beam can be expanded to a circular spot in centimeter level beam radius.     

Collimation testing using axial intensity

We proposed a new method of measuring the degree of collimation of laser beam using axial intensity information near paraxial focus. Preceding methods for collimation testing are mainly either based on self-imaging or interferometric techniques. The new method is to employ the diffraction behavior of noncollimated wave in circular aperture diaphragm. The principle of the proposed method and experiment results are presented. Due to simplicity of the method and its low cost, it is a promising method for checking the collimation of laser beam.     

The elliptical micro-lens array in the application of the LDA beam shaping

Based on the analysis of semiconductor laser-diode array (LDA) beam characteristics, a new scheme of beam collimation and focusing is proposed. The elliptical micro-lens shaping the beam of LDA has been analyzed by theoretical and simulated by optical ray tracing. The efficiency for laser beam coupling into the optical fiber is 73.2% of the whole system.     

One-dimensional Doppler laser collimation of chromium beam with a novel pre-collimating scheme

A novel pre-collimating scheme in laser-focused chromium (Cr) atomic deposition is presented. It consists of three apertures, which are one main pre-collimating aperture at centre and two probing apertures with uniform dimension at both sides of the central one. The calculations show that the Cr atomic beam is divided into three parts accordingly after going through this scheme, and the full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of each part decreases while the peak value increases after one-dimensional (lD) Doppler laser collimation, subsequently. Compared with that before laser collimation, the central part does not have displacement, but each part of the other two has the same displacement to the centre after laser collimation. These phenomena which are agreed with experiment prove that the novel pre-collimating scheme is a feasible means to solve the problem which we cannot observe the collimation of Cr atomic beam after substrate in laser-focused deposition with a pre-collimating scheme of only one aperture, because the atoms will be obstructed completely by the substrate.     

扩束准直光学系统中光学元件失调对高斯光束传输变换的影响分析

基于广义惠更斯-菲涅尔衍射积分公式, 以高斯光束为激光束模型,推导了激光光束通过失调扩束准直光学系统的传输公式,分析了光学元件失调对扩束准直光学系统输出光束传输特性的影响,并在此基础上进行了仿真。实验结果表明,高斯光束通过失调扩束准直光学系统时,出射光束变为偏心高斯光束,光学元件失调程度越大,输出光束越偏离光轴,光束质量越差。在同样的失调下,长焦距光学元件对输出光束影响更大,因此在激光扩束准直光学系统中,调整长焦距光学元件更为重要。

High order dispersion control for femtosecond CPA lasers

Taking advantage of the temperature dependence of the refractive index, an arrangement is proposed for thermal control of dispersion of a chirped pulse amplification (CPA) laser. A glass slab, inserted into the Fourier plane of a stretcher or a compressor, having a spatially varying temperature profile across the beam ensures continuous variation of the spectral phase shift of the pulses. Model calculations are carried out to investigate the feasibility of the arrangement. As a demonstration, simple temperature profiles are created which compensate for the material dispersion of the thermal slab. In a proof of principle experiment it is proved that changes of spectral phase of femtosecond pulses follow the spatially varying temperature profile of a BK7 slab inserted into the compressor of a CPA system. Such a thermal slab is lossless, has a large spectral range, introduces no pixellation and exhibits a high damage threshold. Since it is easy to build into either the stretcher or the compressor of existing CPA lasers, it may become a promising candidate for high order dispersion compensation of high-power femtosecond laser systems.

多频多色光谱角色散束匀滑新方案

典型的光谱角色散技术中,由于光束带宽受限于高效三倍频,因而无法通过增大带宽来进一步改善焦斑均匀性.结合对四色打靶方案和多级相位调制技术的综合分析,提出了多频、多色光谱角色散束匀滑新方案.该方案能在保持高效三倍频基础上,获得带宽有所加宽,光谱包络近似连续的光源,且在远场匀滑上具有更为独特的优势.结果表明,采用束匀滑新方案后,虽然焦斑会有所增大,但其均匀性却得到明显改善;与典型的束匀滑方案相比,该方案能更为有效地抑制热斑,且达到最佳匀滑效果所需的时间有所减短.此外,通过对阵列光栅中子光栅刻线方向的自由组合可以实现多维光谱角色散的效果.     

Digital holographic microscopy characterization of superdirective beam by metamaterial

Digital holographic microscopy (DHM) has been successfully applied for the first time to characterize the radiative out-of-plane emission properties of a superdirective device. Complementarily to near-field microscopy, DHM allows us to reconstruct the beam in the far-field region. The angular dispersion of the light beam radiated from a grating composed of air and anti-air metamaterial has been determined, and the proposed technique has highlighted a collimation degree higher than 0.04°, as already evaluated in a previous work. Further considerations on the retrieved phase map of the beam in the acquisition plane are presented.

Dispersion relation and growth rate for a corrugated channel free-electron laser with a helical wiggler pump

The effects of corrugated ion channels on electron trajectories and spatial growth rate for a free-electron laser with a one-dimensional helical wiggler have been investigated. Analysis of the steady-state electron trajectories is performed by solving the equations of motion. Our results show that the presence of a corrugated channel shifts the resonance frequency to smaller values of ion channel frequency. The sixth-order dispersion equation describing the coupling between the electrostatic beam mode and the electromagnetic mode has also been derived. The dispersion relation characteristic is analyzed in detail by numerical solution. Results show that the growth rate of instability in the presence of corrugated ion channels can be greatly enhanced relative to the case of an uniform ion channel.
