Spatiotemporal behaviors and singularity of ultrashort pulsed Elegant Hermite-Gaussian beams

Analytical propagation expressions of ultrashort pulsed Elegant Hermite-Gaussian beams are derived and spatiotemporal properties of the pulses with different transverse modes are studied. Singularity of the complex amplitude envelope solution of the pulses obtained under slowly varying envelope approximation is analyzed in detail. The rigorous analytical solution of the pulse is deduced and no singularity emerges in the solution. The obtained results indicate that the transverse mode affects not only the spatiotemporal properties but also the singularity of the pulses. Time delay of the off-axis maximum intensity is more obvious and the singularity is located nearer to the z-axis for the pulse with higher transverse modes.     

Diffraction study of photorefractive hologram under ultrashort pulse readout

Based on the diffraction efficiency equation of Kogelnik, the diffraction effect of a cw photorefractive hologram under ultrashort pulse illumination is theoretically analyzed. We find that the recorded grating has the function of filter to the incident pulse beam. To fully reconstruct the incident pulse, the crystal width must be smaller and grating period must be larger. In this paper we also discuss the total diffraction efficiency of the hologram, and find that the total diffraction efficiency is functions of the crystal length, pulse duration and the grating period. The conclusion of our paper can be used in ultrashort pulse shaping application.     

The freeze of intrapulse Raman scattering effect of ultrashort solitons in optical fiber

The effect of intrapulse Raman scattering (IRS) for the propagation of the femtosecond solitons in an optical fiber is investigated. To factually simulate its influence, a combination of 27 Lorentian lines to fit experimental Raman gain profile is adopted. By using nonlinear Schrödinger equation and finite-difference time domain method, the propagations of femtosecond fundamental solitons in an optical fiber are numerically calculated. When the initial power is suitably enhanced, it is found that the pulse shape is almost the same as initial pulse and the delay Raman response only makes small pulse shift. In other words, when ultrashort soliton is considered, the IRS effect is similarly frozen under the enhanced initial power.     

超短脉冲通过拼接光栅的远场分析

 从惠更斯-菲涅耳原理出发,得到了含有色差项的1/4圆光束在焦平面上的光场积分表达式（对于光束口径）,以及具有不同相位延迟的4束1/4圆光束相干叠加后的光场表达式,并建立了该相干叠加场的远场的数学模型,并对光束口径为10 cm,焦距为200 cm,脉宽1 ps的实例进行了模拟,得到了单光束、4个子光束间无相差和存在相位差三种情况下的远场强度分布图。结果表明,单束1/4圆光束的远场不再中心对称,而是轴对称;当子光束间存在π相位差时远场将出现明显的焦斑分裂,因此光栅拼接应将束间相差控制在远小于π的水平上。     

Bimodal temporal distribution of photons in ultrashort laser pulse passed through a turbid medium

The criteria were determined for simultaneous observation of scattered and unscattered (ballistic) peaks in temporal distribution of a narrow pulsed laser beam passed through a strongly scattering medium. Conditions were found for such an observation on the basis of non-stationary two-flux model for radiation transport. Calculation results permitted the definition of a compromise between the parameters of the initial laser pulse and the properties of a scattering medium. This provided the separate observation of various types of photons. The theoretical calculations were confirmed by experiments on recording pulse profiles of passed radiation of fs-laser in a water–milk solution.

超短脉冲经过小数值口径透镜的聚焦特性

 从亥姆霍兹方程出发，考虑透镜的色差和球差，得到了超短脉冲经过小数值口径透镜后光场的解析表达式；利用数值模拟得到了旁轴焦平面和边缘焦平面上光场强度的时空分布，以及聚焦区域内轴上点的强度分布图，并分析了色差和球差的大小对它们的影响。由于通过透镜中心和边缘之间的大部分脉冲产生了干涉相消，因此在旁轴焦平面与边缘焦平面上都出现前、后两个峰值相差很大的脉冲，并且随着球差的增大，两峰值差更大了；聚焦区域内轴上点的强度分布基本是对称的，强度最大点不是出现在旁轴和边缘焦平面上，而是在它们之间的某个位置，并且随着球差的增加，该位置将向聚焦区域的边缘靠近。     

Distortion of ultrashort laser pulses in a spatial filter

By means of Collins diffraction integral, the propagation expression of an ultrashort laser pulse passing through a spatial filter is derived. The effects of the magnification of spatial filter on pulse broadening and distortion of pulse-front for the ultrashort optical pulse are analytically deduced and numerically simulated. It is found that pulse broadening and propagation time difference of a laser pulse getting through spatial filter is proportional to the magnification. As a conclusion, in an ultrashort pulse laser system with a large aperture, the effect of pulse broadening and distortion of pulse-front should be considered.     

Temporal diffraction characteristics of transmitted multilayer volume holographic grating illuminated by an ultrashort pulse

Based on the coupled wave theory of Kogelnik and Fourier optics, the time-domain diffraction characteristics of tramsmitted multilayer volume holographic grating (MVHG) under an ultrashort pulse readout are investigated. It is shown that the temporal diffraction characteristics depend not only on the numbers of the grating layers, but also on the thicknesses of the grating layers and buffer layers, grating period and the refractive index modulation. Furthermore, using group velocity dispersion we give explanation on the time-delay of diffraction pulse with respect to the center of the readout pulse. Results of our discussion may find applications in optical communications, pulse shaping and processing.

Experimental research on measuring the fine structure of long pulse in time domain by synchronized ultrashort pulse

We propose a method of measuring the fine structure of a long pulse in time domain by a synchronized ultrashort pulse, in which the basic principle is the cross-correlation interaction between the long pulse and the ultrashort pulse in a nonlinear crystal. After a theoretical analysis on the principle and resolution, as an example, the fine structure of a picosecond Nd:YLF laser pulse is characterized by a synchronized femtosecond pulse experimentally. Further, the effect of group velocity mismatch on measurement results is discussed.     

Diffraction properties of multi-layer volume holographic gratings under an ultrashort pulsed beam with arbitrary temporal profiles

The diffraction properties of a system of multi-layer volume holographic gratings under an ultrashort pulsed beam with arbitrary temporal profiles are investigated using the multi-layer coupled wave theory. The dependence of the pulse profiles of the diffracted beams, diffraction bandwidth and the total diffraction efficiency of the multi-layer system on the temporal profiles of the input ultrashort pulse are investigated. The calculated results indicate that the temporal shape of the input pulsed beams is an important factor in the analysis of the propagation characteristics. The analysis of this paper will be valuable for the applications of pulse shaping, processing and filter.     

Ultrashort pulse laser micro-welding of cyclo-olefin copolymers

We report on the joining of transparent thermoplastic polymers using infrared femtosecond laser pulses. Due to nonlinear absorption, the developed micro-welding process for cyclo-olefin copolymers does not require any intermediate absorbing layers or any surface pre-processing of the welding partners. In view of an optimized and stable micro-welding process, the influence of the welding speed and focal position on both, the quality and shear force strength are investigated. We highlight that welding seam widths of down to 65 µm are feasible for welding speeds of up to 75 mm/s. However, a variation of the welding speed affects the required focal position for a successful joining process. The shear force strength of the welding seam is determined to 37 MPa, which corresponds to 64% of the shear strength of the bulk material and is not affected by the welding speed.     

Three-dimensional evolution of ultrashort pulses in dispersive media beyond the slowly varying envelope approximation

A new analytical solution for the three-dimensional evolution of femtosecond pulses in a medium with group velocity dispersion is presented. It is found that for Gaussian pulses as short as a few optical cycles, the coupling between spatial and temporal parameters becomes important, which will cause breakdown of the slowly varying envelope approximation (SVEA) equation.
