Time resolved pattern evolution in a large aperture laser

We have measured quasiinstantaneous transverse patterns in a broad aperture laser. Nonordered patterns yielding to boundary determined regular structures in progressive time-integrated recording are observed. The linear analysis and numerical integration of the full Maxwell-Bloch equations allow us to interpret the features of the experiment. We show that this system being far from threshold cannot be fully understood with a perturbative model.

A novel hybrid surface micromachined segmented mirror for large aperture laser applications

A novel hybrid surface micromachined segmented mirror array is described. This device is capable of scaling to large apertures for correcting time-varying aberrations in laser applications. Each mirror is composed of bottom electrode, support part, and mirror plate, in which a T-shaped beam structure is used to support the mirror plate. It can provide mirror with vertical movement and rotation around two horizontal axes. The test results show that the maximum deflection along the vertical direction of the mirror plate is 2μm, while the rotation angles around x and y axes are ±2.3° and ±1.45°, respectively.     

Nonlinear interaction of strong laser fields in vacuum

Quantum electrodynamics (QED) predicts that electromagnetic fields interact with each other in vacuum. We study the possibility of revealing this interaction experimentally with intensities on the order of 10²⁴–10²⁶ W/cm², which may be available in the next generation of laser systems. In particular, we investigate high-order harmonic generation in vacuum via the collision of two ultrastrong counterpropagating laser pulses. The experimental feasibility of the related process of stimulated light-by-light scattering is also examined. Finally, the importance of including diffractive effects to describe the nonlinear interaction between an x-ray probe and a strong, focused optical standing wave is pointed out.

Quantum interaction among intense laser beams in vacuum

Quantum electrodynamics (QED) predicts that electromagnetic fields interact among each other also in vacuum. We study the possibility of experimentally revealing this interaction by using soon available laser fields with intensities of order of . First, a few processes are first reviewed where vacuum polarization effects can be detected, like laser-assisted photon-photon scattering and the light diffraction by a strong standing wave. The possibility of enhancing these effects by using a plasma is also mentioned. Finally, the process of photon splitting in a laser field is discussed in detail together with its possible experimental observation.     

Imaging properties of photon sieve with a large aperture

We report the optimization design and experimental results for the imaging properties of a photon sieve, which is formed on a layer of metal film supported by a thin glass substrate. As an example, we considered a micro-optical element with parameters of diameter D=50 mm, 3,564,290 hole number, and 10 μm minimum micro-hole diameter, which was designed and fabricated by means of surface machining technique in the lab. To evaluate its imaging performance, both on-axis and off-axis imaging experiments were carried out using the element. Compared to a Fresnel zone plate lens with the same feature size, the photon sieve has super imaging performance. Some quantitative analyses and initial qualitative explanations were given for the imaging characteristics.     

Phase-matching for optical up-conversion with maximum angular aperture — theory and practice

An equation of quadratic form is derived relating the phase mismatchk=¦k _sum –k _pump –k _slgnl ¦ in an optical sum-frequency generation process to the angle between the pump and signal wave vectors. For a special value ofk _pump a solution ofk=0 exists having degenerate roots and consequently a single value of . Because of this it is possible to choose a non-collinear phasematching situation for an optical up-converter which tolerates a much larger signal beam divergence than if a collinear-beam interaction were chosen. The case of up-conversion of 10.6m radiation to the visible, using ruby-laser pumped proustite was chosen as an example for experimental study. Under tangential phase-matching conditions an angular acceptance angle of the infra-red beam of 300 mrad was achieved for a crystal 0.45 cm long.     

Stable single-mode vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser with a photoresistive aperture

It is numerically demonstrated that on-axis current channeling through the use of a photoactive layer or layers in vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser cavities counteracts hole burning and allows single-mode operation at high currents. The photoactive layers act as a variable-resistivity screen whose radial aperture is controlled by the light itself. Absorption of a small fraction of the light intensity suffices for significant on-axis current peaking with minimum efficiency loss and optical mode distortion.     

Three-dimensional tracking of small spheres in focused laser beams: influence of the detection angular aperture

Back-focal-plane interferometry is a method capable of determining the three-dimensional position of a particle with high precision (< 3 nm) at high sampling rates (1 MHz). We investigated theoretically the performance of such a system for dielectric spheres with diameters D = 0.53-3 microm and for metallic spheres with D < or = 300 nm. Good sensitivity and linearity were achieved for a detection angular aperture sin(alpha) of no more than 0.5. A value of sin(alpha) > 0.7 should be used only for dielectric spheres with diameters approximately equal to the laser wavelength. Harmonic optical traps can be calibrated by measurement of the thermal motion of the sphere. We performed Brownian dynamics simulations and subsequent thermal noise analyses to prove that the wrong sin(alpha) incorrectly suggests an increased and nonharmonic axial trapping potential.     

Vortex field structures in a laser with multiply connected aperture

The scheme and operating principle of a new polarizing optical microscope for observing physical fields on object surfaces are described for the first time. New functions of the microscope are achieved because its optical scheme includes a liquid-crystal space-time light modulator, which achieves the contact of the surface under study with a layer of nematic liquid crystal. Examples and prospects of application of this microscope in photonics are considered.

Some properties of an electromagnetic field with a large angular momentum

An electromagnetic field with a spatial structure such that it has a large angular momentum while its intensity is moderate, typical for linear optics, is shown to exist. Features of the electrodynamics of such a field are discussed. The problem is not purely theoretical, since its formulation preceded any definite experimental facts.

High precision elimination of angular chirp in CPA laser systems with large stretching factors or high bandwidth

We present a novel and highly sensitive method to determine the residual angular dispersion of high-power laser pulses after stretching, amplification, and re-compression of the pulses in a chirped-pulse amplification laser system. This method is based on the intentional deflection of a part of the the spectrum within the compressor and aligning the centers of gravity of the two resulting and separated foci with largest possible spectral separation in the far field. Using this technique, we were able to reduce the residual angular dispersion on pulses to less than 0.05 μrad/nm in the vertical plane and less than 0.03 μrad/nm in the horizontal plane, respectively. With this method, it is possible to minimize the deviation of the actual peak intensity for the focused laser pulses to less than 2 % of its theoretical limit.     

Evidence for large angular momentum window associated with incomplete fusion reactions

Mean values and variances of the angular momentum window of incomplete fusion reactions induced by¹⁶O on^116–124Sn targets at 90, 100 and 125 MeV have been measured. Theγ multiplicity technique has been used to extract these quantities for each reaction channel identified by discreteγ lines. Incomplete fusion seems to appear in about the same angular momentum window than complete fusion. This is confirmed by the observation of α 2p4n and 2α4n channels appearing at low angular momentum in the 125 MeV reaction.
