光学击穿对受激布里渊散射特性的影响

把雪崩电离模型引入受激布里渊散射模型中，数值模拟了无光学击穿和有光学击穿时受激布里渊散射能量反射率随输入光功率密度的变化规律.实验上选取净化和未净化的CCl₄作为散射介质，在Nd:YAG调Q激光系统中进行了验证，理论与实验符合得很好.结果表明：当无光学击穿时，随着输入光功率密度的增大，能量反射率先是非线性增大，然后缓慢增大趋于饱和；而当有光学击穿时，随着输入光功率密度的增大，能量反射率先是非线性增大，达到最高值之后开始下降，最终趋于零.无光学击穿时的能量反射率及其稳定度明显高于有光学击穿时的情况. 关键词： 受激布里渊散射 光学击穿 雪崩电离     

Investigation of stimulated Brillouin scattering for broadband KrF laser

Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) numerical mode for broadband multimode KrF laser pump with optical breakdown has been built up in this paper. The basic premises of the model are that KrF spectrum is composed of an umber of lines and SBS arises from these lines with coupling to some extent. The broadband SBS threshold strongly depends on pump bandwidth. SBS and optical breakdown occur nearly simultaneously when broadband SBS and breakdown have the same threshold. The decrease of saturation reflectivity for broadband pump radiation is explained with this model. Experimental results agree well with the model.

Compression characteristics of two new SBS mediums to generate 100-ps pulse for shock ignition

Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) provides a simple and effective method to compress pulses to 100 ps for shock ignition. This paper gives out two kinds of novel SBS mediums with excellent quality and superior performance, FC-43 and FC-70. The SBS parameters of FC-43 and FC-70 are calculated and measured. Both of these two mediums have the properties of lower absorption, higher optical loads and short phonon lifetime. The shortest pulse width achieved by SBS compressor was 235 ps for FC-43 and 175 ps for FC-70, and the highest energy reflectivity was more than 80 % for both of them. The compression efficiency and stability of FC-70 is better than FC-43, indicating FC-70 is more suitable to be used as the SBS medium to generate 100-ps pulses.

Investigation on high-power load ability of stimulated Brillouin scattering phase conjugating mirror

The factors that affect the performance of stimulated Brillouin scattering phase conjugating mirror (SBS-PCM) in high-power condition are demonstrated. In high-power condition, the reflectivity is limited by both the SBS medium and the PCM configuration. FC-72 is found to be the best SBS liquid medium for its very high optical breakdown threshold and very low absorption coefficient by comparing several media. As FC-72 is chosen, the impurity of the liquid is the most remarkable factor which affects the reflectivity of PCM. The Millipore membrane filters with aperture of 0.22 μm was used to clean the liquid, and the reflectivity was evidently increased. Among the parameters of the SBS-PCM, the focal length of lens is one of the most important parameters related to the load ability. In the condition of the input laser of 1 J and 10 Hz, the appropriate focal length is proved to be 50 cm. As lens is chosen, the rotating wedge plate (RWP) is used to decrease the effects of optical breakdown and thermal effects in the condition of high power and stable reflectivity is achieved. Synthetically considering all the factors of medium and configuration, an energy reflectivity of 82% is achieved when the input energy is 0.94 J and the repetition rate is at 10 Hz.

Phase conjugating mirror combining a fused silica rod and a fiber

A phase conjugating mirror combining a fused silica rod and an optical fiber is presented. This configuration combines a large diameter fused silica rod with a high laser damage threshold and an optical fiber with a low stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) threshold. The composed SBS generator-amplifier construction, similar to the two-cell type makes a forced SBS process, in which the Stokes beam reflected by the fiber is injected into the fused silica rod. Using this combined phase conjugating mirror in a laser-diode-pumped laser master oscillator power amplifier system, we obtained 42% SBS reflectivity at most at 100 Hz repetition rate. At the same time, the inverse beam quality parameter M(2) is reduced from 3 to 1.6, while at 400 Hz repetition rate, M(2) is reduced from 4 to 1.7.     

Investigation on improving characteristics of two-cell SBS system with CCl4/C2H5OH liquid mixture

In order to improve the performance of the two-cell stimulated Brillouin scattering （SBS） system, this paper proposes the methods of using mixtures, which require amplifier media to have small absorption rate, and generator media to have high optical breakdown threshold and Brillouin frequency shift equal to that of the amplification media. The characteristics of the two-cell SBS system are studied experimentally by using CCl4 as amplifier medium and CCl4, C2H5OH and CCl4/C2H5OH liquid mixture as generator medium pumped by Nd：YAG Q-switched laser. The obtained results show that liquid mixture in generator cell improves the power load ability, phase conjugation fidelity, energy reflectivity （ER） and ER stability.

The characteristics of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in a liquid-core optical fiber (LCOF) contained CS₂ with 10?ns pulses at 532?nm wavelength are investigated experimentally. The threshold, reflectivity, pulse-shape (PS) fidelity, and phase-conjugation (PC) fidelity of LCOFs with different core diameters and lengths are measured. Threshold energy is as low as 2.5???J, and the SBS reflectivity, the PS fidelity, and PC fidelity exceed simultaneously 90?% when the input energy is over 20 times threshold.     

Study on two-cell stimulated Brillouin scattering system with mixture medium

In this paper,a method of choosing mixture medium in two-cell stimulated Brillouinscattering(SBS)system to improve the system performance is proposed.The Brillouin frequency shift(BFS)of mixture medium varies with the mixing ratio andthus the difference of the BFS between the two cells can be eliminated.The two-cellSBS system with acetone(C3H6O)in its generator cell and mixture liquid ofCCl4/C2Cl4 in its amplifier cell is investigated.The C3H6O has a high optical breakdown threshold and the mixture liquid of CCl4/C2Cl4 has a small absorption coeffi-cient and the same BFS as that of C3H6O when the volume fraction of CCl4 is 4%.Compared with two-cell SBS system with the same liquid(C2Cl4)or different liquid(C3H6O and C2Cl4)in generator and amplifier cell,the SBS system with mixture liq-uid(CCl4/C2Cl4)in amplifier cell and C3H6O in generator cell improves thepower-load,energy reflectivity(ER),phase conjugation(PC)fidelity and ER stabil-ity.     

Numerical analysis of stimulated Brillouin scattering in high-power double-clad fiber lasers

A theoretical analysis of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in linear cavity Yb³⁺-doped double-clad fiber lasers is presented by solving the steady-state rate equations with the SBS. The effects of cavity length, fiber core diameter, input mirror reflectivity at Stokes wavelength, Yb³⁺ concentration and laser linewidth on the SBS are discussed. Numerical results show that the SBS threshold power can be improved by shortening the cavity length, using large mode area fiber, reducing the input mirror reflectivity at Stokes wavelength, lowering the Yb³⁺ concentration and broadening the laser linewidth, and the influence of the laser linewidth on the SBS threshold power is more noticeable than other system parameters.     

Investigation on high power phase compensation of strong aberrations via stimulated Brillouin scattering

The strong wave-front aberrations compensated by stimulated Brillouin scattering phase conjugate mirror (SBS-PCM) in a high power laser were investigated experimentally. The wave-front fluctuation of the 10 Hz 500 mJ Nd:YAG laser is 0.5λ. Transmitting through a random phase plate (RPP), it increases to 8.6λ. While using SBS-PCM in place of a high reflection mirror, the distortion induced by the RPP is compensated, and the wave-front fluctuation becomes 0.9λ. At the same time, obvious breakdown phenomena in the SBS cell were observed, and the reflectivity is unstable. A rotating wedge plate is introduced into the phase conjugating mirror to make the focus of the SBS cell rotate and optical breakdown is avoided effectively. The reflectivity becomes stable around about 70% and the instability is changed from ±4.1% to ±0.9%. Besides, the compensated wave-front fluctuation is only 0.6λ, which is near to the original wave-front distribution. The results show that the reflectivity of the SBS-PCM is very high and stable when there are no other nonlinear effects such as optical breakdown. Thus the compensating effects for strong wave-front errors are perfect.
