Autoinjection of Single-Pulse Priming Radiation in a Laser with a Bifurcated Anisotropic Resonator

The optical schemes of lasers with autoinjection of priming radiation in a bifurcated anisotropic resonator are described that make it possible to increase the efficiency of the formation of highly coherent giant pulses by raising the priming radiation intensity level. The parameters of radiation of that kind of ruby lasers have been experimentally studied with Q-switching of a low Q resonator by a bleaching filter and electrooptical switching of the generation channel into the resonator with a higher Q and/or the gain coefficient of an active element, and/or the active material space factor of the resonator.

纳秒激光诱导空气等离子体的红外辐射特性研究

纳秒激光诱导空气等离子体存在从紫外、可见、近红外乃至射频微波的宽谱段辐射,但目前的研究大多关注紫外到可见波段的光谱辐射。激光等离子体作为一种新型的红外辐射源具有很多优势,相比于红外干扰弹以及红外干扰手段而言,空气等离子体红外辐射源可以灵活布置,成本低廉,因此研究空气等离子体的红外辐射特性就很有必要。针对目前脉冲激光诱导空气等离子体的红外干扰研究需要,对激光波长为532 nm的纳秒脉冲激光诱导空气等离子体的红外辐射特性进行实验研究,探讨激光能量对空气等离子体红外辐射强度的影响规律,以及空气等离子体红外辐射的角度分布特性,分析了等离子体红外辐射的可能产生机制。实验结果表明,激光诱导空气等离子体在950～1 700 nm范围内的红外光谱为线状谱和连续谱的叠加。其中线状谱主要是氮和氧的中性原子谱线,并且氮原子红外辐射占主导。随着激光能量的增加,由于空气击穿产生的氧和氮原子数量增加,导致空气等离子体红外辐射的谱线强度逐渐增大。随着红外探测角度的变化,在探测角度为75°时,OⅠ 1 128.63 nm和NⅠ1 246.96和1 362.42 nm谱线强度达到最大,在探测角度为120°时,NⅠ 1 011.46和1 053.96 nm谱线强度达到最大,这是因为空气等离子体红外辐射强度随探测角度变化呈现空间非对称性,表明空气等离子体内不同粒子的空间分布呈现非对称性。

Suppression of Chaotic Generation Caused by the External Optical Feedback in a Laser Diode

It is shown by computer simulation and in experiments that chaotic generation caused by the external optical feedback in a laser diode can be suppressed by means of a delayed optoelectronic feedback controlled by the injection current. The suppression of chaotic generation is realized for an AlGaAs/GaAs laser of the quantum wall structure. In the presence of the external optical feedback provided by the mirror placed at a distance of 1~mm the noise of optical intensity is of the oder of 10 W, the single mode dominates in the spectrum, and its spectral width exceeds 600 MHz. The optoelectronic feedback controlled by the injection current reduces the noise by several times and narrows the generation line width down to 80 MHz.

Role of the Density of Lower Laser Levels in the Control of Generation Parameters of a Copper Vapor Laser

The possibility of controlling the generation parameters of a copper vapor laser (CVL) by varying the density of metastable states of Cu atoms both during pulsed excitation and within interpulse periods is considered.

It is established that these lasers may serve as sources of the optical radiation of TE and TMpolarizations with a retuned length of coherence within the range 1–10 mm in spectrometric facilities of photoheterodyne type. A procedure for determining the inversion current in an injection laser is suggested.

Influence of Low-Intensity Laser Radiation on the Rheological Characteristics of Human Blood

The influence of low-intensity laser radiation (LLR) on the rheological characteristics of human blood has been investigated. The results of the investigation of the blood velocity in the human skin capillaries, the erythrocyte aggregation time, and the spectral width of scattering intensity fluctuations depending on the irradiation time are presented. It has been shown that laser irradiation leads to a decrease in the degree of aggregation of erythrocytes and, accordingly, to an increase in the velocity of blood microcirculation, which can be used for laser therapy and diagnostics and treatment of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). To explain the results obtained, a method of the LLR–biotissue interaction is proposed.     

Interaction of Low-Intensity Laser Radiation with Blood and Its Components

The response of the blood of rabbits to the intravenous irradiation by a He-Ne laser radiation (λ = 632.8 nm) has been investigated by the UV-visible and IR absorption spectra of the whole blood, plasma, and erythrocyte mass. It has been established that hemoglobin is a primary photoacceptor absorbing low-intensity He-Ne-laser radiation. The exposure of blood to this radiation causes clearly defined changes in the IR and visible absorption spectra of the blood and erythrocytes. These spectral changes arise as a result of partial photodissociation of hemoglobin-ligand complexes in the process of absorption of laser radiation. It is suggested that photodissociation is a primary reaction that arises in blood exposed to a low-intensity laser radiation.__________Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 72, No. 2, pp. 230–235, March–April, 2005.

Sensitivity of Narrow-Band Intracavity Laser Spectroscopy in Generation of the Second Harmonic

We carried out an analysis of the sensitivity of the method of intracavity laser spectroscopy with intracavity generation of the second harmonic to small frequency-independent losses evaluated by measuring the energies of laser-radiation pulses. We consider laser behavior with a constant and modulated quality factor of the cavity resonator. It is shown that the sensitivity of the method may be improved by an order of magnitude or higher by transforming the frequency of radiation and selecting the optimal parameters of the active medium pumping, nonlinear crystal, Q-factor of the cavity, and the means of its modulation. Measurement of the radiation power at the frequency of the second harmonic expands the range of laser-operation time regimes in which an increase in the sensitivity of the method is ensured.
