Acousto-Optic Stabilization of Laser Beam Intensity

The results from studying a system for stabilizing laser beam intensity based on an acousto-optic modulator are presented. An equation that describes the dynamic processes and the system’s operating modes is obtained. It is shown that the stabilization coefficient is determined by the signal transmission coefficient in the feedback circuit and the position of the operating point on the amplitude characteristic of acousto-optic interaction.     

Intensity Spatial Profile Analysis of a Gaussian Laser Beam at Its Waist Using an Optical Fiber System

In many applications, it is important to know the waist of a laser beam. However, it is impossible to measure it directly because the intensity is high at the waist. We have used an optical fiber-scan system to characterize the Gauss/an intensity profile of a focused femtosecond laser beam. The measurement system employs a single-mode optical fiber that is fixed on a motorized three-dimensional translation stage to collect the laser energy and the other end is connected to an optical power meter to measure the intensity profile. Using the measure data and geometry formulas, one can calculate the beam waist and far-field divergence angle of a laser beam. The measured beam waist size is essentially consistent with the result of theoretical fit.

Generation of THz Radiation from Laser Beam Filamentation in a Magnetized Plasma

The terahertz (THz) frequency radiation production as a result of nonlinear interaction of high intense laser beam with low density ripple in a magnetized plasma has been studied. If the appropriate phase matching conditions are satisfied and the frequency of the ripple is appropriate then this difference frequency can be brought in the THz range. Self focusing (filamentation) of a circularly polarized beam propagating along the direction of static magnetic field in plasma is first investigated within extended‐paraxial ray approximation. The beam gets focused when the initial power of the laser beam is greater than its critical power. Resulting localized beam couples with the pre‐existing density ripple to produce a nonlinear current driving the THz radiation. By changing the strength of the magnetic field, one can enhance or suppress the THz emission. The expressions for the laser beam width parameter, the electric field vector of the THz wave have been obtained. For typical laser beam and plasma parameters with the incident laser intensity ≈ 10¹⁴ W/cm², laser beam radius (r₀) = 50 μm, laser frequency (ω₀) = 1.8848 × 10¹⁴rad/s, electron plasma (low density rippled) wave frequency (ω₀) = 1.2848 × 10¹⁴ rad/s, plasma density (n₀) = 5.025 × 10¹⁷cm^–3, normalized ripple density amplitude (μ)=0.1, the produced THz emission can be at the level of Giga watt (GW) in power (© 2012 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Beam Line Design of Compact Laser Plasma Accelerator

A compact laser plasma accelerator that is a novel accelerator based on the interaction of ultra-intense laser and plasmas is being built now at Peking University. According to the results of experiments and numerical simulations, a beam line combining the advantages of quadrupole and analyzing magnets is designed to deliver proton beams with energy ranging from 1 to 44 MeV,energy spread within ±5% and 10~(6-8) protons per pulse.It turns out that the existence of space charge force of protons can be ignored for the increase of transverse and longitudinal envelopes even in the case of 109 protons in one pulse. To cope with the challenge to obtain a uniform distribution of protons at the final experiment target in laser acceleration, we manipulate the envelope beam waist in the Y direction to a proper position and obtain a relatively good distribution uniformity of protons with an energy spread of 0-±5%.     

Spectral Intensity Distribution of a Time Dependent Gaussian Pulsed Beam From a Circular Aperture in the Near-Field Diffraction

The diffraction characteristics of a broadband light source from a circular aperture in the near-field are clarified theoretically via prompt and precise mathematical derivation. This paper provides a explicit way of treating in the case of time dependent Gaussian-shaped pulsed beam passing through a circular aperture and gives more accurate and concrete criteria for judging the timing of the spectral red shift, blue shift and splitting of light distributions. Furthermore, the results offer an understanding of the Gaussian beam quality of the output of an optical resonator in the near-field.     

Nonlinear Effects of a Gaussian Laser Beam on Megagauss Magnetic Field Generation in Laser Produced Plasma

The generation of megagauss magnetic field due to the time dependent part of the ponderomotive force of a self-focused Gaussian laser beam indicent on a plasma has been studied. Defocusing of the laser beam becomes possible due to diffraction divergence in the case of a weakly nonlinear medium. The influence of defocusing of a laser beam on magnetic field generation has also been investigated. It is found that the magnitude of the magnetic field due to self focusing of the beam is enhanced and is comparable with the observed values, while there is a reduction in the magnitude of the magnetic field when the beam defocuses due to diffraction divergence in the presence of weak nonlinearity.

Quadruple Gaussian Laser Beam Profile Dynamics in Collisionless Magnetized Plasma

This paper presents an investigation of self-focusing of a quadruple Gaussian laser beam in collisionless magnetized plasma. The nonlinearity due to ponderomotive force which arises on account of nonuniform intensity distribution of the laser beam is considered. The nonlinear partial differential equation governing the evaluation of complex envelope in the slowly varying envelope approximation is solved using a paraxial formalism. The self-focusing mechanism in magnetized plasma, in the presence of self-compression mechanism will be analyzed in contrast to the case in which it is absent. It can be observed that, in case of ponderomotive nonlinearity, the self-compression mechanism obstructs the pulse self-focusing above a certain intensity value. The effect of an external magnetic field is to generate pulses with smaller spot size and shorter compression length. The lateral separation parameter and the initial intensity of the laser beam play a crucial role on focusing and compression parameters. Also, the three-dimensional analysis of pulse propagation is presented by coupling the self-focusing equation with the self-compression one.

Indicatrices of the Radiation Intensity of Laser Plasma Formations in the Air

We have investigated the indicatrices of the visible and IR radiation of laser plasma formed under irradiation of cadmium, indium, and silicon in the air by radiation from a monopulsed neodymium laser with a power density at the irradiation spot of up to 12 GW/cm² on the first harmonic and up to 4 GW/cm² on the second harmonic. It is shown that the radiant intensity indicatrices have a prolate form depending on the target material, the spectral range of observation, and the power density of the acting laser radiation. The radiant intensity of laser plasma in the 0.3–4.2 m range is approximately proportional to the laser radiation power density and depends on the target material.     

Optical Diagnostics Using a Barium Ion Beam for Spatial Resolution of Plasma Parameters

Plasma electron excitation of the 6s2S1/2 - 6p2P resonance transitions for the singly charged barium ion is proposed as an optical diagnostic for plasmas of thermonuclear interest. Spatial information arises from the intersection of a barium ion beam and the viewing optics. Measurement of relative intensity during a scan of beam and/or optics provides information for electron density and temperature profiles. Zeeman splitting of the emission lines allows local magnetic field and beta determination. Plasma and beam conditions for which such a tool is useful are given.
