预失真半导体激光列阵技术

相干半导体激光列阵体积小、重量轻,输出能量密度高,非常适于用作对光源尺寸要求苛刻的航天激光光源。为避免随航天器在轨运行的半导体列阵经受变化梯度剧烈的恒星、行星、空间低温热沉的交替加热和冷却的影响,以便能够正常工作,采用潜望式结构设计,将列阵置于舱内,列阵向航天器外输出激光必须经由舱外输出反射镜完成。然而,舱外输出反射镜受周围热环境影响和列阵输出激光束照射,会产生随机热变形,导致输出舱外的激光能量发散;并且,舱外输出反射镜面热变形导致镜面法向偏转,使得输出光束产生较大的指向偏转误差,这极大地降低了能够作用于目标之上的激光束的能量密度,严重恶化输出舱外的光束质量。通过理论推导结合ANSYS有限元分析软件和相关实验,在研究清楚相干半导体激光列阵作为航天激光源的构造、其光场与周围热环境共同作用于舱外输出反射镜的规律与特点后,给出了航天预失真半导体激光列阵激光源技术,通过回波法适时测量舱外输出反射镜引起的波前畸变,处理器配合D/A和高压放大器,驱动驱动器,使舱内添加的反射镜预失真成形,适时使列阵输出产生预失真波前畸变,以抵消舱外输出反射镜的热变形对输出舱外的激光束的影响。相关系统运行实验结果显示,此技术使半导体激光列阵能够适应宇航环境,向舱外输出保障质量的激光束。

Laser systems specialized for laser spectroscopy at storage rings

Laser spectroscopy at storage rings often suffers from a limited resolution due to Doppler-broadened resonances. Broadening is caused by the velocity spread of the ions stored in the beam. In the following, the present status of our work on laser systems specialized on the specific needs of laser spectroscopy at storage rings is reported. Two pulsed laser systems were developed. One is a dye laser whose spectral bandwidth can be switched by inserting different Littrow-prisms into the resonator. An increase in bandwidth up to a factor of 45 was achieved. This laser was used for fast qualitative scans and high resolution measurements. The other laser system is a Nd : YAG laser pumped optical parametric oscillator. It is a tunable laser system covering the spectral range from 410 to 4000 nm. Furthermore, a continuous wave laser with a frequency shifted feedback cavity is described. It shows broadband emission with an adjustable bandwidth of up to 4.5 GHz. This laser can be advantageous for laser cooling of ion beams. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

A novel picosecond distributed feedback dye laser arrangement for excimer laser pumping

A distributed feedback dye laser arrangement is described which can generate pulses at the subharmonic wavelengths of the main excimer laser lines (308 nm, 248 nm, 193 nm, etc.). The laser can be pumped with broadband lasers, such as the XeCl^* laserpumped dye laser with competing cavities. The laser is designed to be used as a part of a femtosecond, terawatt excimer laser system.     

PHOTON ACCELERATION DRIVEN BY AN INTENSE LASER PULSE

Interaction of a laser field with a plasma wave is studied by metric optics. Analysis shows that the frequency upshifting of the laser pulse results from the plasma density gradient. A laser beam can be thought of as a packet of photons moving in a plasma and thus the laser frequency upshifting is equivalent to photon acceleration. Examination of the three-dimensional motion equations shows that a laser beam diffraction occurs in the presence of a radial variation of the plasma density. It is argued that the focusing mechanism originating from the plasma wave can curb laser diffraction so that photons may be trapped in the plasma wave and accelerated continuously.

激光器与轨道的相对位置对动态加热的影响

 通过分析光束入射的角度因子将激光器在地平面上的安放位置进行分类,采用了几何分析和数值模拟的方法,探讨了聚焦激光束在加热运动圆柱体过程中,为了达到一定的加热功率水平和能量水平以取得最好的加热效果而应采取的措施,即应当以激光垂直入射的轨道点为中心,以激光的有效工作时间为取值范围,并参考大气对激光能量的衰减,相对于轨道选取适当的距离进行加热。该研究从理论上说明了激光器与圆柱体运动轨道的相对位置对激光动态加热的影响可以看作一个优化问题,存在最优解,进而对于合理使用激光器进行动态加热具有参考价值。     

猫眼腔激光器的横模变换与频率分裂

为了产生多种激光横模,以前的系统相对比较复杂,而且一般只能产生基横模和低阶横模,很难产生高阶横模,同时也很难观察到模竞争中一个频率抑制另一个频率的变化过程。基于猫眼谐振腔激光器和频率分裂技术,提出了一种新型的激光原理综合实验系统。该系统利用猫眼逆向器作为He-Ne激光器的一个腔镜,通过调节猫眼逆向器中两镜片间距可输出包括基横模、低阶横模、高阶横模在内的十余种典型横模,并可完成纵模、偏振、出光带宽等多种激光基本特性的实验。同时在基横模状态下,利用谐振腔内加入的石英晶体片可实现激光频率分裂及其频差调节。在此基础上又可实现完整的模竞争过程的观察。

An effective configuration for interferometric measurement of pulsed laser-induced plasma densities

Pulsed laser-induced plasmas evolve in nanoseconds, so instruments to observe that evolution must be very high speed. We have used a Wollaston prism to create interference fringes, and set up a electronic system to obtain synchronization between the main laser and probing laser. By adjusting the delay unit to make the pulse output of probing laser lag behind the pulse output of main laser for different times, the situation of the plasma at different stages can be recorded. The individual interferometric image is captured by a camera frame grabber that is triggered by the incidence of a probing laser signal on a CCD camera; so the induced phase shift pattern is easy to be photographed and analyzed in terms of plasma density. A demonstration of pulsed laser induce plasma from a graphite target is provided.     

Nonstationary heating during VUV photochemical ablation of polymers

According to a previously developed pure photochemical model of VUV laser ablation of polymers, the velocity of ablation front is proportional to surface intensity, and a stationary value of the surface temperature does not depend on laser intensity. Previous estimations show, however, that this stationary surface temperature could be too high to be relevant to the photochemical mechanism. This raises a question of whether the stationary value of the surface temperature can be achieved for a given time shape of light intensity coming to the surface irradiated by a laser pulse of high enough fluence. The intensity time shape is connected not only with the time shape of a laser pulse but also with screening of laser radiation by the plume. This problem is discussed in the present communication. Specifically, it is shown that with a hyperbolic surface intensity time shape, heat diffusion can successfully compete with laser heating decreasing maximum surface temperature compared to its stationary value. The hyperbolic surface laser intensity corresponds to a rectangular laser pulse screened by plume during the photochemical ablation. This allows one to estimate that the photochemical model for a multiple-pulse VUV laser ablation with a high plume extinction coefficient is self-consistent even for a high value of stationary temperature and for high enough laser fluences.

Slave-master dynamics of semiconductor laser with short external cavity

In this paper, the dynamical response of a slave semiconductor laser, with short cavity, under injection of a chaotic light from a master semiconductor laser has been widely studied. This is analyzed numerically via bifurcation diagrams, in terms of the phase and strength of the feedback, as control parameters. It is shown that, both of these parameters should be considered in the dynamical response of the slave laser. Our numerical calculations show that the dynamics of the slave laser imitates the master laser, in addition to the feedback strength, it also heavily depends on the injection dynamics and rates. Numerical results also show that for different values of the control parameters, the intensity of the slave laser output can be fully different from the injection source. However, we found out under appropriate conditions, that the dynamics of the slave can be the same as the master laser. The results also show that the output of the slave laser, compared to its output without injection, can be stabled in the appropriate values of the injection rate from the master laser.
