High repetition rate spiker-sustainer XeCl laser

An X-ray preionized spiker-sustainer XeCl-excimer laser operating at high repetition frequency (1000 Hz) and 220 W of average laser power is demonstrated. The pulse energy and the pulse duration (160 ns) are virtually independent of the repetition frequency. Comparison with aC-L-C circuit shows superior properties of spiker-sustainer excitation for high-frequency operation. Furthermore, a variation of the overshoot mode is proposed.     

High repetition rate mid-infrared laser source

An efficient, high-power mid-infrared laser source based on ZnGeP₂ (ZGP) optical parametric oscillator (OPO) is presented. Using a Q-switched Ho:YAG laser as the pump source a total output power of 10.6 W was obtained in the 3–5 μm band at 10 kHz and 8.5 W at 20 kHz. The Ho:YAG laser was pumped by two diode-pumped polarization coupled Tm:YLF lasers. Optical-to-optical efficiency achieved is >8.8% (laser-diode 792 nm to mid-IR 3–5 μm). With a commercial PtSi infrared camera (256×256 pixel focal plane array, 24 μm pitch) the pointing stability of Ho pump, signal and idler beam was measured to be better than 30 μrad. Whilst propagating the OPO beams over 100 m, little absorption for the idler beam was observed, resulting in a significant higher peak-to-peak value of ±22%, whereas the peak-to-peak stability of the signal pulses remained unchanged (±13%).

High repetition rate femtosecond laser nano-machining of thin films

Thin film laser micromachining has been utilized for repairing semiconductor masks, creating solar cells and fabricating MEMS devices. A unique high repetition rate femtosecond fiber laser system capable of variable repetition rates from 200 KHz to 25 MHz along with helium gas assist was used to study the effect of pulse repetition rate and pulse energy on femtosecond laser machining of gold-coated silicon wafer. It was seen that high repetition rates lead to smaller craters with uniform line width. Craters created at 13 MHz pulse repetition rate with 2.042 J/cm² beam energy fluence measured 110 nm in width and had a heat affected zone of 0.79 μm. It was found that pulse repetition rate only played a significant role in the size of the heat affected zone in the lower pulse energy ranges. In the future, a 1 W laser system will be acquired to find the optimal repetition rate that would create the minimal feature size with the least heat affected zone. Using this kind of setup along with techniques such as radial polarization and a different gas assist may enable us to create sub 100 nm feature size with good quality.     

High repetition rate all-normal dispersion Yb:fiber laser for minimum pulses

Simulation and experimental results for high repetition rate all-normal dispersion Yb:fiber ring lasers are demonstrated for the cavity dispersion from 0.01 to 0.025 ps 2 .The simulation shows that the pulse spectrum has the potential to reach>30 nm for the dispersion of 0.014 ps 2 under practical pump power. This potential is proved by the experiment.Maximum spectral width of 30 nm is achieved at the repetition rate of 285 MHz under the 850-mW pump power.Average output power is 550 mW and dechirped pulse is 78 fs.     

High repetition rate femtosecond laser irradiation-induced elements redistribution in Ag-doped glass

A 250 kHz femtosecond laser was used to induce a one-step precipitation of Ag nanoparticles and the simultaneous element redistribution in Ag ion doped glass. After femtosecond laser exposure, a ring-shape region was formed. Besides, as a result of an optical spherical aberration effect, a nonuniform laser intensity distribution along the incident direction caused most of the formed Ag nanoparticles to precipitate in the lower part of cross section of this structure. By an EPMA analysis, the relative concentration of the Ag element was both high in the center and in the boundary of the ring-shape region. These Ag nanoparticles could potentially increase the refractive index in their precipitation regions. We proposed that the induced ion redistribution and the precipitation of Ag nanoparticles should be due to the heat accumulation effect by the high repetition rate femtosecond laser irradiation.     

High repetition rate TEA CO_2 laser with randomly coded wavelength selection

High repetition rate transversely exited atmospheric pressure (TEA) CO2 laser with randomly coded wavelength selection is suggested. The laser wavelength is tuned by a Fabry-Perot (F-P) etalon of low fineness, whose space interval is controlled by a piezoelectric transducer (PZT). A digital controlled programmable voltage source is introduced to vary the voltage applied on PZT so as to swiftly shift the laser output wavelength pulse by pulse. Detailed theoretical analysis is carried out by six-temperature mode rate equations.     

High repetition rate laser pulses amplified by Nd/Cr:YAG ceramic amplifier under CW arc-lamp-light pumping

Laser pulses with high repetitive rate generated from a Q-switch microchip Nd:YAG oscillator were amplified by Active mirror composed of Nd/Cr:YAG ceramic pumped by CW arc-lamp. The laser pulses were amplified, and saturation of averaged output laser power was observed. Repetitive ratio of injected laser pulses was changed from 20 to 100 kHz. Averaged output laser power and gain were measured, and gain coefficient and power-extraction efficiency were evaluated. Output laser power was calculated and compared to experimentally measured one, and the calculated results are consistent with the experimental ones. For amplification of laser pulses with high repetitive ratio, this laser material can realize very high laser gain with low pumping power density and high optical-optical conversion efficiency under CW-lamp-light pumping.
