二极管侧面泵浦薄片激光器泵浦均匀性分析

 建立了二极管侧面泵浦复合薄片激光介质Nd:YAG/YAG的数值模型：二极管阵列的快轴垂直于薄片激光介质表面的排布,二极管对称排列在增益介质的周围,从侧面进行泵浦,通过微柱透镜对二极管的快轴进行准直。模拟并实验研究了激光二极管慢轴方向的远场分布特性,结果发现在近距离时激光二极管慢轴方向上的远场分布近似为高斯分布。对于二极管参量,研究发现泵浦二极管越多,增益介质内泵浦光分布就越理想;增益介质吸收系数越小,泵浦的均匀性就越好,但总的吸收效率下降;二极管与工作物质的距离越近,工作物质靠近中心的区域对泵浦光的吸收就越多,但泵浦的均匀性就越差。选用增益介质为Nd:YAG/YAG的复合薄片介质,当掺杂原子分数以及增益介质的吸收系数不同时,发现0.6%掺杂的增益介质(吸收系数为0.24 cm^-1)的泵浦均匀性比1%掺杂(吸收系数为0.51 mm^-1))有明显改善,实验结果与模拟结果一致。

Optical reflectometric detection of a three-dimensional acoustic field

In laser ultrasonics, when focusing strongly the pump beam, a three-dimensional (3D) diffracted acoustic field can be generated. Considering weakly absorbing materials, the 3D interaction of this elastic perturbation with the optical detection beam must be taken into account. A semi-analytical model is proposed to describe such phenomena in reflectometric measurements. Once the acoustooptic interaction has been partially linearized, the resulting inhomogeneous differential system is solved using the matricant method. Good agreement is found comparing the calculated results with the experimental data in an aluminum film.

Cavity-enhanced optical frequency doubler based on transmission-mode Hänsch–Couillaud locking

A variant of the Hänsch–Couillaud technique for locking the pump laser frequency to a cavity-enhanced optical frequency doubler is presented. In contrast to the original scheme in which the pump laser light reflected by the enhancement cavity is monitored, the error signal for locking is obtained by polarization analysis of the light transmitted by the cavity. The cavity serves as a spectral and spatial filter for the pump beam, making the transmission-mode locking method particularly useful if the beam quality is poor. Experimental validation of the method is demonstrated by generating more than 190 mW of stable 461 nm light from a cavity-enhanced frequency doubler that is pumped by a diode laser system.     

用于超快束匀滑的动态波前调控新方案

提出了利用光克尔效应实现激光束波前动态调控,进而实现焦斑超快束匀滑(ps量级)的方案,其原理是利用抽运光动态改变光克尔介质的折射率分布,以对透射主激光束附加时空耦合的动态波前,进而使激光束在靶面的焦斑散斑产生更加快速、多样的变化,最终实现焦斑的超快束匀滑.当抽运光时间波形为高斯脉冲序列,且以小角度倾斜入射至光克尔介质时,由于抽运光和光克尔介质对主激光附加随时间横向移动的周期性球面相位,且球面相位的幅值随时间不断变化,因而可以同步实现激光束焦面散斑的横向和径向超快速扫动,从而更为有效地改善靶面辐照均匀性.

High-efficiency mid-infrared ZnGeP2 optical parametric oscillator directly pumped by a lamp-pumped, Q-switched CrTmHo:YAG laser

We report a singly resonant optical parametric oscillator (SRO) based on a ZnGeP(2) crystal directly pumped by a lamp-pumped Q-switched CrTmHo:YAG laser. The IR was tunable from 4.7 to 7.8 microm via crystal angle tuning. A maximum optical to optical efficiency of 56% was obtained from the pump (2.09 microm) to total IR at a pump energy of 6.5 mJ. The corresponding idler energy was 1.45 mJ. The SRO was measured to have a slope efficiency of 64% and a threshold of 1 mJ. The spatial beam quality of the idler, characterized by the M(2) parameter, was 1.38 when the SRO was pumped at 2.5 times threshold. These results show that ZnGeP(2) optical parametric oscillators directly pumped by a CrTmHo:YAG laser can be operated efficiently, while maintaining good IR beam quality.     

基于光学浮标的赤潮生消过程半分析监测方法

赤潮爆发时水体叶绿素a质量浓度升高,引起浮游植物吸收系数、光束总吸收系数等水体固有光学性质(IOP)的变化,并导致水体表观光学性质(AOP)的改变。海洋光学浮标可实现水体表观光学性质的定点连续时间序列观测,基于此发展相应的模型方法有望实现赤潮生消全过程的监测。利用一次赤潮生消过程的海洋光学浮标数据,发展了一种赤潮半分析监测方法。该方法首先由光学浮标数据得到的水体光谱漫衰减系数Kd(λ)和遥感反射率rrs(λ),结合经验确定的水下光场平均余弦进行水体光束总吸收系数a(λ)的半分析估算,然后再半分析反演浮游植物吸收系数aph(λ)和叶绿素a质量浓度。经检验,该方法估算a(675),aph(675)和叶绿素a质量浓度的中值相对误差分别为8.6%,34.9%和38.9%。将本方法与半分析方法(QAA)和统计回归方法进行了对比分析,本方法的优势在于反演精度较高,所采用的经验参数大都源自辐射传输理论计算、不依赖于浮标数据且对反演结果的影响有限。     

Optical pump concepts for highly efficient quasi-three-level lasers

Efficient quasi-three-level laser operation requires the generation of the highest possible pump rate from a given pump source. We derive the fundamental scaling laws for the pump rate and we extract optimization criteria for pump concepts from these laws. The analysis is then applied to the thin-disk laser. Based on the results, a novel pump concept for thin-disk lasers is proposed, which allows for several tens of pump beam passes and reduces the optical complexity of conventional pump concepts. Furthermore, the beam quality of the pump source is preserved almost completely, facilitating the highest possible pump rate.     

An experimental study and theoretical analysis of the mode characteristics of a narrow line-width,pulsed dye laser oscillator at different pump powers

This paper presents an experimental study and theoretical analysis on the effect of pump power on the divergence, pointing, line-width and wavelength stability of a narrow line-width, high repetition rate dye laser oscillator. The dye laser oscillator, based on the hybrid multiple-prism grazing-incidence grating cavity, was pumped by copper vapor laser (CVL). The dye laser mode characteristics were studied at CVL average pump powers of 2, 4 and 8 W. The single pulse dye laser divergence/pointing stability was studied by far-field intensity distributions. The line-width and wavelength stability were studied using a high resolution wave-meter. The experimental results were theoretically analyzed in terms of dye laser mode structure drift induced by beam pointing instability, beam divergence and thermally induced optical path length fluctuation. A comprehensive theoretical treatment on pointing stability of dye laser beam and its influence in the dye laser wavelength stability is presented. The theoretical and experimental trends were found to be in good agreement.     

Optical phase conjugation by resonant degenerate four-wave mixing in liquid phase medium

In this paper, frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser's phase conjugation has been investigated experimentally using resonant degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM). The iodine solution was used as resonant medium. In this way, the energy of the DFWM phase conjugation beam arrived at 43μJ/pulse while the total pump beam's energy reached 8mJ/pulse. The relation between the pulse energy of the DFWM phase conjugation beam and that of the pump beam was investigated. We also measured the optical field distributions of pump beam and DFWM phase conjugation beam, from which it can be noticed that the DFWM phase conjugation can improve the laser beam quality. At the same time, we observed the influence of the pump beam's disturbance on the DFWM signal.
