Development of FEL and SASE in the far-infrared region at ISIR, Osaka University

Free electron laser (FEL) and self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) are being developed in the far-infrared region using the L-band electron linac at the Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research (ISIR), Osaka University. The L-band linac was recently remodeled extensively not only for higher operational stability and reproducibility but also for high power operation of FEL. After commissioning of the linac, we first began SASE experiment with a newly-developed strong-focusing wiggler. Recently we began FEL experiment and obtained lasing with the high peak power at 70 μm again after a long break.     

边耦合光腔用于远红外FEL的分析

 模拟了边耦合输出用于FIR FEL 的可实用性，证明这种输出方式适合于远红外FEL。分析且模拟了光腔各种输出参数（如输出功率、腔增益、耦合效率等）随输出镜尺寸及位置的变化规律，找出了最佳的输出镜尺寸及位置。并对谐振腔有漂移管和无漂移管两种情况进行了比较。通过移动或者更换输出镜（输出反射镜），改变输出镜尺寸和位置，可以灵活地选择和调节光腔的Q值。能适应实验不同阶段的需要：例如在实验初期可以提高Q值，增大净增益；而在做饱和实验时可以增大输出，使输出功率最大。

Determination of the amplitude and the phase of the elements of electric cross-spectral density matrix by spectral measurements

The amplitudes and the phases of the elements of electric cross-spectral density matrix are determined experimentally for a pair of points in the cross-section of an expanded laser beam. A modified version of the Young’s interferometer is used as an experimental tool, which separates the beams emerging from the double-slit widely and provides ease in insertion of polarizers and half wave rotators in individual beams. To determine these complex elements of the cross-spectral density matrix, the experimentally obtained values of the spectral densities at an off-axis point are put in the mathematical expressions derived by us using the spectral interference law. The four complex generalized Stokes parameters are also determined using the linear combinations of the matrix elements. This unique but simple experimental approach for determining both the two-point parameters might provide a means to investigate the polarization and the coherence properties of the random electromagnetic beams on propagation.

X-ray and optical studies of an isothiocyanato liquid crystal mixture

In this work, X-ray and optical studies have been carried out on a four-component isothiocyanato liquid crystal mixture with laterally substituted fluorine atoms. Molecular characteristics, such as effective inter molecular distances and apparent molecular length of the average-simulated molecule have been determined from X-ray studies at various temperatures in the liquid crystalline phase. From the nature of molecular alignment as envisaged from X-ray photographs, the orientational order parameter and its variation with temperature have been determined. Optical studies have also been conducted at various temperatures to investigate the thermal variations of birefringence. Macroscopic orientational order parameter and its thermal variation have been determined from these studies. The nature of order parameter variation obtained from the two studies, X-ray and optical have been compared.

Determination of the optimum electrical bandwidth for spectral slicing

The implementation of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) in communication access networks is dependent upon the availability of low cost optical sources. One possible alternative to lasers is to employ slices of a broadband optical source obtained via optical filters, which may be tuneable. This paper considers the behaviour of such a spectrally sliced optical transmission system as a function of the bandwidth of a realistic receiver electrical filter for the first time. The treatment includes distortion from optical fibre dispersion over several kilometres of fibre. The optimum ratio between the electrical bandwidth and the optical bit rate is found to be ~0.6 for a fifth-order Bessel filter
