Deducing the electron-beam diameter in a laser-plasma accelerator using x-ray betatron radiation

We investigate the properties of a laser-plasma electron accelerator as a bright source of keV x-ray radiation. During the interaction, the electrons undergo betatron oscillations and from the carefully measured x-ray spectrum the oscillation amplitude of the electrons can be deduced which decreases with increasing electron energies. From the oscillation amplitude and the independently measured x-ray source size of (1.8±0.3) μm we are able to estimate the electron bunch diameter to be (1.6±0.3) μm.

Elastic,optical and nonlinear optical properties of InPS4

Indium phosphorus sulfide, a promising nonlinear optical material, is investigated with respect to elastic constants, anisotropic sound velocity, absorption, refraction and nonlinear optical applications. The elastic tensor components are evaluated from phonon frequency and wavevector data obtained by Brillouin scattering. The ordinary and extraordinary dispersion is determined for the entire transparency range (0.4–8 μm). A 5-parameter Sellmeier equation is fitted to these data and is used to calculate phase matching diagrams for second-harmonic generation and general three-frequency mixing. A possible, attractive application, angle tuned parametric oscillation, is discussed.     

Second harmonic generation in InSe

Experimental evaluation of non-linear susceptibility coefficient d₂₂ for InSe, which is responsible for second harmonic generation in this material at 1.06 and 10.6 μm, is reported and the value compared with GaSe. At the CO₂ laser frequency of oscillation, phase matching has been observed and a value of d₂₂ almost equal to d₁₅ for CdSe has been found. The InSe high transparency in the wavelength range 1.1–22 μm, the sizeable value of d₂₂ and the possibility of reaching phase matching condition in the IR range make InSe a potential device for far IR frequency conversion.

Suppression of laser noise in CW 337μm HCN lasers

In a d.c.-discharge-excited 337 μm HCN laser, amplitude laser noise has been observed at the frequency range of 30 kHz to 1 MHz. The laser noise is classified into three types; oscillation noise having sharp peaks, broadly distributed noise having a center frequency and 1/f-noise. Characteristics of the laser noise have been studied experimentally. The laser noise is caused by small oscillation which appears on d.c.-discharge current and by random fluctuations of current and plasma density. The laser noise has been suppressed more than 30 dB by adjusting the laser parameters such as discharge current, pressure and flow rates of mixed gas (CH4₄ + N₂ + He) and added He.     

Simulation of parametric oscillation in the submillimeter range at pumping of the ZnGeP2 crystal by a train of 100-ps high-power pulses

Analysis is given for a possibility of singly resonant parametric oscillation in the submillimeter range at synchronous pumping of the ZnGeP₂ crystal by a train of 100-ps second-harmonic pulses from the CO₂ laser with the radiation energy 1.0 J. The calculation shows that using the ZnGeP₂ crystal and the second harmonic of the CO₂ laser with the energy density 1.8 J cm⁻², one can get the peak submillimeter radiation power from 3.6 to 12 MW in the range from 95 to 300 μm (1.0–3.3 THz). The expected peak power values are larger than the experimental ones obtained by other nonlinear optics methods.     

Growth of high quality non-linear optical crystal zinc germanium phosphide for Mid-infrared optical parametric oscillator

ZnGeP₂ single crystals were grown from Vertical Bridgman method. High-quality near-stoichiometric ZnGeP₂ single crystals were obtained in the diameter of 30 mm and length of 120 mm. The results showed that after thermal annealing of the crystals the optical absorption coefficient was below 0.03 cm^?1 at 2.05 μm, and ～0.02 cm^?1 at 3–8 μm. The low absorption loss ZnGeP₂ samples with dimension of 6 × 6 × 18 mm³ were cut from the annealed ingots for 3–5 μm optical parametric oscillation (OPO) experiments. For OPO experiment, we obtained up to 8.7 W output in the 3–5 μm wavelength range (with signal of 3.80 μm and idler of 4.45 μm, respectively) pumped by a 16.3 W 2.05 μm Tm,Ho:GdVO₄ laser at pulse repetition rate of 10 kHz, which corresponded to a conversion efficiency of 53.4% and slope efficiency of 64.8%, respectively.     

Difference-Frequency Generation of THz Radiation via Parametric Three-Wave Interaction in CdTe and ZnTe Crystals

Difference-frequency generation of terahertz (THz) radiation in a collinear single-crystal scheme with distributed feedback implemented by means of parametric interaction of counterpropagating optical waves in a periodically inhomogeneous medium exhibiting quadratic nonlinearity is investigated. Using ZnTe and CdTe crystals optically pumped at λ = 0.77 and 1.06 μm, respectively, as an example, the possibility of obtaining parametric generation of THz radiation with an optical-to-THz conversion efficiency exceeding 10^–3 (with an extremely narrow line of oscillation of less than 4 GHz for ZnTe and less than 9 GHz for CdTe at 1 THz) is demonstrated in the undepleted-pump-intensity approximation. The obtained results can be used for construction of narrow-band lasers in the THz frequency range with an output power (in the quasicw regime of oscillation) of about 10⁵ W/cm².

The choice of materials, their basic optical properties, quasi-phasematching and wavelength tuning ranges, as well as dispersive effects are discussed. These results provide a useful roadmap for the construction of optical parametric oscillators and generators operating in the ultrashort pulse regime with excitation at 1 μm.
