高重复频率铌酸锂电光调Q Nd∶YVO_4激光器（英文）

研制了一种基于铌酸锂(LN)电光调Q的高重复频率窄脉宽短腔激光器.通过测量激光穿过置于正交偏振镜间的电光晶体后,透射强度随晶体上施加的脉冲高压的变化情况,探究了不同尺寸LN晶体中的压电振铃效应,并与磷酸钛氧铷(RTP)晶体中的压电振铃效应进行了比较.实验发现,块状LN晶体中的压电振铃效应严重,而小尺寸LN晶体中的压电振铃效应和RTP晶体中的相似,基本可以忽略.结合压电效应理论得出,压电振铃效应的强弱与外加电压大小及晶体固有的压电共振频率有关,电压越低,压电共振频率越大,压电振铃效应越弱.在此基础上,制备了可高重频应用的尺寸为1.2mm×9mm×9.4mm的LN调Q开关,并实现了LN晶体的高重频调Q运转.激光增益介质采用具有较大受激发射截面和较短荧光寿命的Nd∶YVO_4晶体,其一端镀有1.064μm的全反膜,另一端沿布儒斯特角切割,从而省去了全反镜和偏振镜,缩短了腔长。泵浦源采用中心波长为808nm的光纤耦合激光二极管.设计的激光器谐振腔长度仅为20mm。在退压式电光调Q运转下,获得了最大重复频率为15kHz、脉宽为5.4ns、峰值功率为2.94kW的稳定的激光输出.

Noncritically phase-matched fourth harmonic generation of Nd:glass lasers in partially deuterated KDP crystals

Noncritically phase-matched (NCPM) fourth harmonic generation (FHG) of Nd:glass laser radiation in partially deuterated dihydrogen phosphate (KD*P) crystals has been demonstrated. At an Nd:glass laser wavelength of 1053.0 nm, NCPM FHG is achieved in 70% deuterated KD*P at a crystal temperature of 18.5±0.1 °C. Tuning the fundamental laser wavelength from 1052.9 to 1053.2 nm, FHG in KD*P is NCPM by changing the crystal temperature from 17.9 °C to 20.5 °C. When driven with 2.4 J of second harmonic radiation in a 3 ns flat-top pulse, corresponding to 1 GW/cm(2) 2ω drive intensity, 1.9 J of fourth harmonic radiation was generated in a 6 mm long KD*P crystal, yielding a second to fourth harmonic energy conversion efficiency of 79%.     

Passively Q-switched mode-locking Erbium-doped fiber laser with net-normal dispersion using nonlinear polarization rotation technique

We experimentally demonstrate a passively Q-switched mode-locking (QML) operation in an Erbium-doped fiber ring laser with net normal dispersion by using nonlinear polarization rotation technique. A 2 m long section of dispersion compensating fiber (DCF) with extra large positive dispersion was inserted into the cavity to ensure the fiber laser working in the region of net positive dispersion. By carefully adjusting the polarization controller, both uniform dissipative mode-locking pulses with fundamental repetition rate and QML pulse trains with tunable repetition rate from 71.58 to 98.83 kHz are achieved. It is found that the QML operation is caused by the interaction between the polarization state of the pulse and the intracavity polarizer.     

Fine tuning of the higher-order dispersion of a prismatic pulse compressor

The wavelength-dependent thermal refractive index gives an extra degree of freedom for adjustment of higher-order dispersion of a prismatic pulse compressor. The effect allows of fine tuning of both intracavity and extracavity dispersion of ultra-fast oscillators. The calculations have been carried out using a new and rather handy formalism, which describes the operation of a prism pulse compressor as a linear function of the ratio of the total glass path in the prisms and the prism apex distance. The validity of theoretical calculations is supported by experimental evidence. Received: 16 April 2002 / Published online: 15 November 2002 RID="*" ID="*"Corresponding author.

Efficient electrooptically Q-switched Er:Cr:YSGG laser oscillator-amplifier system with a Glan-Taylor prism polarizer

A relatively simple efficient electrooptically Q-switched Er:Cr:YSGG laser oscillator-amplifier system in a line has been demonstrated. A Glan-Taylor prism and a cubic LiNbO₃ crystal are used as the polarizer and modulator, respectively. Using the line scheme, one can adjust the system elements easily and achieve a good Q-switched-to-free-running pulse energy ratio of 75% and an energy amplification coefficient of 1.8. As short as 80 ns of the leading edge of a stable single pulse and 132 ns in FWHM with an energy of 24.5 mJ are generated. We also investigate the effects of the pump energy and the delay time on the postlasing, the stable single-pulse operation, the prelasing, the laser buildup time, and the Q-switched pulse width. The laser system demonstrated can be used for the effective ablation of soft and hard tissues.     

Wavelength-tunable prism-coupled external cavity passively mode-locked quantum-dot laser

A wavelength-tunable mode-locked quantum dot laser using an In As/Ga As quantum-dot gain medium and a discrete semiconductor saturable absorber mirror is demonstrated.A dispersion prism,which has lower optical loss and less spectral narrowing than a blazed grating,is used for wavelength selection and tuning.A wavelength tuning range of 45.5 nm(from1137.3 nm to 1182.8 nm) under 140-m A injection current in the passive mode-locked regime is achieved.The maximum average power of 19 m W is obtained at the 1170.3-nm wavelength,corresponding to the single pulse energy of 36.5 p J.     

A Q-switched Nd:YAlO3 laser emitting 1080 and 1342 nm

In this paper, the study of a switchable electro-optic Q-switched Nd:YAlO₃ laser emitting 1080 and 1342 nm wavelength was demonstrated. The two-wavelength lasers were eradiated by a Nd:YAlO₃ crystal pumped by a xenon lamp. Two KD*P Pockels cells were adopted as Q-switches. The output energy of 277.2 mJ at 1080 nm wavelength with a pulse width of 20 ns and that of 190.67 mJ at 1342 nm wavelength with a pulse width of 40 ns was obtained, respectively, in our experiment. By switching on or off the voltages applied to the Pockels cells, the operation of the two-wavelength lasers can be selected in free running mode or Q-switching mode.

Self-starting 6.5-fs pulses from a Ti:sapphire laser

We demonstrate self-starting 6.5-fs pulses from a Kerr-lens mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser with 200-mW average output power at a pulse repetition rate of ~86 M Hz. This is to our knowledge the shortest pulse ever generated directly from a laser. For dispersion compensation we used a prism pair in combination with double-chirped mirrors, which balances the higher-order dispersion of the prism pair and therefore flattens the average total group-delay dispersion in the laser cavity. For self-starting mode locking we used a broadband semiconductor saturable-absorber mirror.
