Influence of gas circulation on stimulated Raman scattering and amplification of ultrashort laser pulses in methane

Applying gas recirculation in a high pressure cell, laser pulses of 1 ps at 400 nm and with a repetition rate of 1 kHz were frequency shifted by stimulated Raman scattering and amplification in methane gas at high pressure. We studied the influence of gas recirculation on the conversion efficiencies into the Stokes and anti-Stokes components as well as on their spatial distributions and spectral shapes using generator and generator-amplifier arrangements. For high pump energies, recirculation in the generator cell decreases conversion efficiency into the first Stokes component whereas it increases conversion into higher Stokes and anti-Stokes components. It results in a significantly improved spatial characteristics of the frequency-shifted radiation, however, is accompanied by a substantial spectral broadening. Using gas recirculation in the generator-amplifier arrangement we achieved a conversion efficiency into the first Stokes component of about 50% with highly improved spatial and spectral characteristics.

Fluid dynamics analysis of a gas attenuator for X‐ray FELs under high‐repetition‐rate operation

Newtonian fluid dynamics simulations were performed using the Navier–Stokes–Fourier formulations to elucidate the short time‐scale (µs and longer) evolution of the density and temperature distributions in an argon‐gas‐filled attenuator for an X‐ray free‐electron laser under high‐repetition‐rate operation. Both hydrodynamic motions of the gas molecules and thermal conductions were included in a finite‐volume calculation. It was found that the hydrodynamic wave motions play the primary role in creating a density depression (also known as a filament) by advectively transporting gas particles away from the X‐ray laser–gas interaction region, where large pressure and temperature gradients have been built upon the initial energy deposition via X‐ray photoelectric absorption and subsequent thermalization. Concurrent outward heat conduction tends to reduce the pressure in the filament core region, generating a counter gas flow to backfill the filament, but on an initially slower time scale. If the inter‐pulse separation is sufficiently short so the filament cannot recover, the depth of the filament progressively increases as the trailing pulses remove additional gas particles. Since the rate of hydrodynamic removal decreases while the rate of heat conduction back flow increases as time elapses, the two competing mechanisms ultimately reach a dynamic balance, establishing a repeating pattern for each pulse cycle. By performing simulations at higher repetition rates but lower per pulse energies while maintaining a constant time‐averaged power, the amplitude of the hydrodynamic motion per pulse becomes smaller, and the evolution of the temperature and density distributions approach asymptotically towards, as expected, those calculated for a continuous‐wave input of the equivalent power.     

Gas Flow in Microchannels – A Lattice Boltzmann Method Approach

Gas flow in microchannels can often encounter tangential slip motion at the solid surface even under creeping flow conditions. To simulate low speed gas flows with Knudsen numbers extending into the transition regime, alternative methods to both the Navier–Stokes and direct simulation Monte Carlo approaches are needed that balance computational efficiency and simulation accuracy. The lattice Boltzmann method offers an approach that is particularly suitable for mesoscopic simulation where details of the molecular motion are not required. In this paper, the lattice Boltzmann method has been applied to gas flows with finite Knudsen number and the tangential momentum accommodation coefficient has been implemented to describe the gas-surface interactions. For fully-developed channel flows, the results of the present method are in excellent agreement with the analytical slip-flow solution of the Navier–Stokes equations, which are valid for Knudsen numbers less than 0.1. The present paper demonstrates that the lattice Boltzmann approach is a promising alternative simulation tool for the design of microfluidic devices.     

The role of the dynamic pressure in stationary heat conduction of a rarefied polyatomic gas

The effect of the dynamic pressure (non-equilibrium pressure) on stationary heat conduction in a rarefied polyatomic gas at rest is elucidated by the theory of extended thermodynamics. It is shown that this effect is observable in a non-polytropic gas. Numerical studies are presented for a para-hydrogen gas as a typical example.     

Pressure dependent modulation instability in photonic crystal fiber filled with argon gas

By using the designed photonic crystal fiber filled with argon gas, the effect of gas pressure on modulation instability(MI) gain is analyzed in detail. The MI gain bandwidth increases gradually as the argon gas pressure rises from 1 P_0 to 400 P_0(P_0 is one standard atmosphere), while its gain amplitude slightly decreases. Moreover, the increase of the incident light power also results in the increase of MI gain bandwidth in the Stokes or anti-Stokes region when the incident power increases from 1 W to 200 W. Making use of the optimal parameters including the higher argon gas pressure(400 P_0) and the incident light power(200 W), we finally obtain a 100 nm broadband MI gain. These results indicate that controlling the MI gain characteristic by changing the argon gas pressure in PCF is an effective way when the incident light source is not easy to satisfy the requirement of practical application. This method of controlling MI gain can be used in optical communication and laser shaping.     

Variation of Xe concentration in a high pressure Ar/Xe laser with coaxial e-beam pumping

A series of measurements on the high pressure (up to 18 bar) coaxial e-beam pumped Ar/Xe laser has been made at high power loading (up to 25 MW/cm~2) for various Xe mole fraction in Ar. We found that the optimum laser gas composition in our system was 0.4% Xe in Ar which was independent of the total gas pressure. At the optimum gas composition the output energy increased with increasing total gas pressure up to 16 bar, but the intrinsic efficiency reached a maximum at the total gas pressure of 8 bar. It was also found that at the optimum power deposition for both the 2.63μm and 2.65μm transitions the ratio of the integrated optical energy to that of the 1.73μm transition had a minimum in most cases at the optimum gas mixture for various gas pressures. This ratio increased with increasing gas pressure. The experimental results suggested that besides the 2-body Xe quenching at high Xe fraction and electron collision mixing at high power depositions the heavy particle quenching from Ar at high gas press     

Analysis of gas flow dynamics in hollow core photonic crystal fibre based gas cell

Gas flow dynamics in hollow core photonic crystal fibre (HC-PCF) is a trivial problem to study the gas filling time in HC-PCF gas sensor and other gas filled HC-PCF devices. This article analyzes the pressure dependence of gas diffusion coefficient in core and cladding holes of HC-PCF under the same condition of temperature and pressure during filling of methane and acetylene gas. An analytical model has been proposed to study the gas flow dynamics in core and cladding of HC-PCF. Due to gas filling, as the pressure varies inside the HC-PCF, at each increment of time, this model computes the change in pressure and respective gas diffusion coefficient. Using incremental gas diffusion coefficient, this model computes the gas filling time in a process similar to practical scenario. The gas filling time inside the core and cladding holes of HC-PCF for both methane and acetylene gas has been analyzed in this article. The results obtained can be utilized for HC-PCF based gas cell design.
