808nm大孔径垂直腔面发射激光器研究

垂直腔面发射激光器(VCSEL)中的载流子聚集效应使注入到有源区的工作电流只是通过边缘环形区域很窄的通道,激光功率密度分布不均匀;尤其当器件尺寸较大时,激射光斑呈现环状,环中间光强很弱.这是研制电抽运高功率大尺寸VCSEL尤为突出的技术难题.采用新型结构成功研制出808 nm波段高功率大孔径VCSEL,在注入电流为1A时,室温下连续输出功率达0.3 W. 关键词： 半导体激光器 垂直腔面发射激光器 高功率 大孔径

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.

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.     

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.

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.
