利用纳秒激光脉冲所激发的超声纵波, 非接触地测量了蓝宝石单晶沿c轴方向的弹性模量 C₃₃随温度的变化关系. 结果表明, 在室温到1000 ℃ 的范围内, 蓝宝石的弹性模量C₃₃随温度T的升高而减小, 两者之间近似呈如下二次关系: C₃₃ = - 1.541× 10^-5T² - 0.021T + 498.3. 由于该方法利用激光烧蚀效应激发出了强度很大的纵波, 因此对弹性模量的测量具有较高的精度, 估算C₃₃的测量误差不超过0.1%.     

γ-LiAlO2上a面ZnO薄膜的光谱特性研究

光时分复用(OTDM)系统中基于电吸收调制器(EAM)的短脉冲光源及解复用器的设计考虑

研究了电吸收调制器(EAM)的衰减随外加反向电压增加而指数增加的情形下,短脉冲光源的脉冲输出和解复用器的开关窗口对EAM的消光效率、反向DC偏置电压以及正弦RF驱动信号的幅度等参量的依赖关系.在基于EAM的短脉冲光源中,输出脉冲的消光比等于EAM消光效率η与正弦驱动电压峰峰值V_pp的乘积,输出光脉冲的消光比和脉宽均与EAM的反向偏置电压无关,但输出脉冲的峰值功率与η、V_pp和V_b都有关系.在基于EAM的解复用器中,为了使解复用器的开关窗口近似为矩形,可利用EAM的削波效应,使V_pp/2>V_b.在EAM的消光效率η已知时,通过仔细设计反向DC偏置电压V_b和正弦驱动电压的峰峰值V_pp,达到OTDM解复用器所需要的开关窗口形状、宽度和消光比.

C<Subscript>60</Subscript> fullerene as an η<Superscript>6</Superscript> ligand in π complexes of transition metals

The possible existence of complexes formed by the C₆₀ fullerene or its derivatives with transition metals interacting with the carbon cage via η⁶−π type bonding is discussed. The derivatives C₆₀ R ₆ of the C₆₀ fullerene (R = −, H, F, Cl, Br, CN) are analyzed using the density functional method within the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof approximation. In these molecules, the R groups are attached to carbon atoms located in the α positions with respect to the common hexagon of the C₆₀ fullerene. The structure and electron configuration of complexes formed by these molecules with Cr(C₆H₆), Cr(CO)₃, MoC₆H₆, and Mo(CO)₃ particles are modeled. The “dimer” systems C₆₀R₆-M-R ₆C₆₀ (M = Cr, Mo, R =-, H, F) are investigated in which two fullerene molecules interact via a transition-metal atom. It is found that the introduction of six R groups in the α sites with respect to the common hexagon of C₆₀ favors the formation of complexes of these derivatives of the C₆₀ fullerene with the Cr(C₆H₆), Cr(CO), Mo(C₆H₆), and Mo(CO)₃ particles in which η⁶-π type bonds arise between the metal and the atoms of the hexagon fringed with the R groups. It is also demonstrated that analogous complexes with a “bare” C₆₀ fullerene are possible, but they are significantly less stable. The (C₆H₆) M-R ₆C₆₀ R ₆-M (C₆H₆) complexes of particles M(C₆H₆) (M= Cr, Mo) and derivatives R ₆C₆₀ R ₆ (R =-, H, F, Cl, Br) are studied. In the R ₆C₆₀ R ₆ molecule, six R groups are located in the α sites with respect to the common hexagon of the C₆₀ fullerene and six other groups fringe the opposite hexagon. The obtained results can be applied to planning synthesis of new complexes that C₆₀ fullerene derivatives can form with transition metals. Original Russian Text ￠ E.G. Gal’pern, A.R. Sabirov, I.V.

Continuous-wave and Q-switched laser operation of Nd:Gd0.18Y0.82VO4 mixed crystal

Efficient continuous-wave (cw), passively Q-switched, and actively Q-switched laser operations are demonstrated with a mixed vanadate crystal of Nd:Gd_0.18Y_0.82VO₄ under diode pumping. In a cw operation, an output power of 8.25 W is obtained at a maximum available incident pump power (P_in) of 15 W, with a slope efficiency of 56%. Using a Cr⁴⁺:YAG crystal of initial transmission of 62% as the saturable absorber for Q-switching, an average output power of 3.05 W is generated at pulse repetition frequency (PRF) of 16.7 kHz when the laser is pumped with the same maximum P_in. The pulse energy, pulse duration, and peak power are 183.3 μJ, 6.0 ns, and 30.6 kW, respectively. When actively Q-switched by an acousto-optic modulator, the laser produces an average output power of 5.5 W at PRF of 30 kHz with 16.2 W of pump power incident upon the laser crystal. The pulse energy, duration, and peak power are measured to be 183 μJ, 10.5 ns, and 17.5 kW, respectively.

Passively Q-switched laser performance of a diode-pump mixed Nd:Lu<Subscript>0.15</Subscript>Y<Subscript>0.85</Subscript>VO<Subscript>4</Subscript> crystal

A diode-pumped passively Q-switched Nd:Lu_0.15Y_0.85VO₄ laser with a GaAs output coupler is demonstrated. By using a mixed crystal Nd:Lu_0.15Y_0.85VO₄ as laser medium, the passively Q-switched laser can generate shorter pulse width with higher peak power in comparison with the passively Q-switched Nd:LuVO₄ or Nd:YVO₄ lasers under the same laser cavity. At the incident pump power 11.9 W, the minimum pulse width of 3.23 ns and the maximum peak power 1.67 kW can be obtained. The average output power and the pulse repetition rate of the laser are also measured. The experimental results show that the mixed crystal is a promising laser medium for shorter Q-switched pulse with higher peak power.     

Diode-pumped doubly Q-switched YVO4/Nd:YVO4 laser with BBO electric-optic Q-switch and Cr4+:YAG saturable absorber

In the experiment, we have demonstrated the performance of a laser-diode, end-pumped, doubly Q-switched YVO₄/Nd:YVO₄ laser with both a BBO electric-optic (EO) Q-switch and Cr⁴⁺:YAG saturable absorber. At a maximum incident pump power of 15 W and an EO Q-switch repetition rate of 8 kHz, the stable laser pulses with the pulse duration 5.28 ns, the single pulse energy 0.14 mJ, and the pulse peak power 26 kW are obtained. The experimental results show that the double Q-switched laser with EO and Cr⁴⁺:YAG can generate the shorter pulse and the higher peak power in comparison to singly Q-switched laser with EO.     

Laser-induced nonthermal fragmentation of C60 studied by semiclassical dynamics simulation

Photofragmentation of the C₆₀ fullerene induced by ultrafast laser pulses is studied by semiclassical dynamics simulation. The simulation study is focused on the excitation below the continuum levels. A laser pulse of 40 fs (FWHM) with an effective photon energy of 2.0 eV and different intensities was selected to interact with the C₆₀ fullerene. The simulation results show that averaged fragmentation size distribution over groups of initial geometries selected at random exhibits a power law pattern with the peak at C₂ at high laser pulse intensities. The threshold for the C₆₀ fragmentation was determined. The simulation finds that as many as 55 electrons are excited from the occupied molecular orbitals to unoccupied molecular orbitals upon the laser irradiation and that the number of the fragments significantly depends on the number of electrons excited. Finally, the temperature examination seems to suggest that the nonthermal effect may play a significant role in laser fragmentation of the C₆₀ fullerene.

A diode pumped Nd:Y_0.5Lu_0.5VO₄ pulse laser modulated with an acousto-optic (AO) Q-switcher and Cr⁴⁺:YAG saturable absorber is first demonstrated in this paper. The laser is shown to generate shorter pulse width than AO Q-switched laser alone, and have a higher peak power and single pulse energy than passively Q-switched laser with only Cr⁴⁺:YAG. A laser pulse width of 6.16 ns and a peak power of about 43.83 kW are achieved at the incident pumping power of 14.09 W.     

Laser on nitrogen-electronegative gas mixtures, pumped by inductive energy storage generator: Experiment and theoretical model

The advantages of inductive energy storage (IES) generators for increasing the pulse energy, power, and duration for nitrogen laser pumped by self-sustained transverse discharge have been experimentally demonstrated. A theoretical model is developed and the operation of IES-pumped laser on nitrogen-electronegative gas mixtures is numerically simulated. It is shown experimentally and theoretically that, adding electronegative gases, one can control the pulse shape of lasing on the C³II _u -B³II _g transition in nitrogen. The increase in the electric field strength in the laser gap in N₂-NF₃ and N₂-SF₆ mixtures produced 337.1-nm laser pulses consisting of two spaced peaks and 40–50-ns pulses close to rectangular. The increase in the laser active volume to 6 l (discharge cross section to 6×10 cm²) in N₂–SF₆ mixtures made it possible to obtain the maximum output energy (Q=110 mJ) and UV power (P _las =6 MW). In N₂-NF₃ mixtures, the laser pulse duration was up to ∼100 ns with an energy up to Q=30 mJ.
