Theoretical analysis of the effects of frequency detuning dependence of photorefractive two- beam coupling coefficient on gain and phase-shifts of the signal beam for a coupled unidirectional photorefractive ring resonators

Dependence of two-beam coupling gain and phase-shift of the signal beams on the frequency detuning for a coupled unidirectional ring resonators based on non-degenerate two-wave mixing in the photorefractive crystals have been investigated in details. The effects of various parameters characterizing the photorefractive medium such as frequency detuning, absorption strength, two-beam energy coupling strength and pump intensity of the external laser beams, on the two-beam coupling gain and phase-shift of the signal beams for a coupled UPRR have also been studied in details. It has been found that the photorefractive gain of the signal beam in the primary cavity of the coupled UPRR can be enhanced to the higher order by taking the lower value of the frequency detuning of the primary cavity which could exist at much lower value of the absorption strength of the crystal B. This higher value of photorefractive gains in the cavities are responsible for the strong coupling between the modes of the oscillations of the coupled UPRR.

End-pumped by a single-stripe 805-nm diode laser, a maximum continuous-wave output power of 290 mW with slope efficiency of 42% and 90 mW with slope efficiency of 44% around 2 μm were achieved in a 1.6-mm-thickness, unprocessed 7.2 at.% Tm³⁺:BaGd₂(MoO₄)₄ cleavage plate in a hemispherical and plano–plano cavities, respectively, when the absorbed pump power was 830 mW. The dependence of the polarization of output laser on the output coupler transmission was investigated. The influence of upconversion on the laser performance was analyzed. The results show that the unprocessed Tm³⁺:BaGd₂(MoO₄)₄ cleavage plate is a promising 2-μm laser gain medium pumped by diode laser around 808 nm.

增益饱和对光学差频产生太赫兹辐射的功率和稳定性的影响

数值模拟并分析了以GaSe晶体为例对光学差频产生太赫兹（THz）波的特性.结果表明：当THz波长为227.5 μm,晶体长度为26.3 mm时,产生THz波功率达到增益饱和,在增益饱和点输出最高峰值功率可以达到945 W.由于晶体吸收的影响,THz波的增益饱和区是输出功率的非稳定区,而THz波的输出稳定区位于增益饱和区之后,在稳定区的THz波稳定性取决于抽运光的稳定性.当THz波波长为227.5 μm时,达到稳定区所需晶体长度为37.9 mm,此时THz波输出峰值功率可以达到735 W. 关键词： 光学差频 太赫兹辐射 稳定性     

Coherent CW image amplifier and oscillator using two-wave interaction in a BaTiO3-crystal

A BaTiO₃ crystal was used to amplify an image illuminated by an Ar-laser. The amplification mechanism is two-wave mixing in an electrooptic crystal, usually called dynamic holography. We achieved gain factors of 4000 with pump powers of 150 mW and holographic resolution. As the interaction between signal and pump wave is not effected through excited states of the crystal, the amplification process is virtually noise free. This has to be traded in with slow response, 0.1-1 s. To demonstrate the high optical quality of the amplifier, it was incorporated in a ring resonator as gain medium. It was possible to excite pure discrete transversal modes of higher order. That reveals the high optical homogeneity of the crystal over the mode cross-section of > 1 mm. The coupling process of the pump with the two counter-propagating waves forming the standing resonator wave is not symmetric. Consequently a travelling wave develops in the resonator.     

Broadly tunable multiwavelength fiber laser with bismuth-oxide EDF using large effective area fiber

A multiwavelength laser comb using 2.49 m Bismuth-oxide erbium-doped fiber (Bi-EDF) with different lengths of large effective area fiber (LEAF) in a ring cavity configuration is realized. The Bi-EDF is used as the linear gain medium and LEAF is used as the non-linear gain medium for stimulated Brillouin scattering. Out of the four different lengths, the longest length of 25 km LEAF exhibits the widest tuning range of 44 nm (1576 to 1620 nm) in the L-band at 264 mW pump power and 5 mW Brillouin pump power. In addition, a total of 15 output channels are achieved with total average output power of −8 dBm from this laser structure. All Brillouin Stokes signals exhibit high peak power of above −20 dBm per signal and their optical signal-to-noise ratio of greater than 15 dB.     

All fiber MOPA laser-pumped,continuous-wave,mid-infrared,singly-resonant optical parametric oscillator based on periodically poled MgO-Doped LiNbO<Subscript>3</Subscript>

We report a continuous-wave (CW) mid-infrared singly resonant optical parametric oscillator (SRO) based on periodically poled MgO-doped LiNbO₃ (PPMgLN) pumped by a high power, single frequency fiber laser in master oscillator-power amplifier (MOPA) configuration at 1.064 μm. Using four-mirror ring OPO cavities, at the PPMgLN’s grating period of 30.5 μm and the temperature of 23°C, we achieved the maximum idler output power of 7.2 W at 3.4 μm when the pump power was 52.8 W. The total power-conversion efficiency from the pump to the idler in this experiment is about 13.6%, and corresponds to ∼44% of quantum-limited performance.     

Raman fiber distributed feedback lasers

We demonstrate fiber distributed feedback (DFB) lasers using Raman gain in two germanosilicate fibers. Our DFB cavities were 124 mm uniform fiber Bragg gratings with a π phase shift offset from the grating center. Our pump was at 1480 nm and the DFB lasers operated on a single longitudinal mode near 1584 nm. In a commercial Raman gain fiber, the maximum output power, linewidth, and threshold were 150 mW, 7.5 MHz, and 39 W, respectively. In a commercial highly nonlinear fiber, these figures improved to 350 mW, 4 MHz, and 4.3 W, respectively. In both lasers, more than 75% of pump power was transmitted, allowing for the possibility of substantial amplification in subsequent Raman gain fiber.
