液体相位共轭技术应用于高重复频率双通放大器实验

固体激光器运转过程中工作物质的热效应严重地影响着激光器的输出光束质量，20世纪60年代末Ostcrink等从理论和实验上研究了Nd：YAG晶体产生的热效应，相位共轭镜技术能够补偿热效应造成的波前畸变，从而改善了激光器的光束质量。液体相位共轭镜大多数采用了CS2、丙酮、CCL4、SnCL4、HPLCll3（氟里昂）等液体，由于丙酮液体的相对污染少，SBS阈值功率密度低，且市场上容易购买，因而得到普遍运用。文中报道了在重复频率400Hz，脉宽20ns的二极管泵浦Nd：YAG双通放大激光器中用丙酮液体作为相位共轭镜改善光束质量的实验研究。激光器SBS实验光路采用聚焦光斑在液体池里扫描和不扫描两种方式。     

石英玻璃介质相位共轭实验

采用融石英棒作为受激布里渊散射（SBS）池进行了光学相位共轭高平均功率激光双通放大实验。在重复频率分别为40，100，200，400Hz，注入脉冲宽度为15rls的条件下形成了稳定的光学相位共轭。改变SBS池的江入能量，发现只有当注入能量约48mJ较小范围内,才形成较稳定的SBS相位共轭反射，若增大注入能量，则石英玻璃内极易被击穿而损坏，减小注入能量．则不能形成较稳定的SBS相位共轭反射，或反射能量变得很弱。不同重复频率下融石英玻璃SBS反射率变化曲线如图l所示。在注入能量几乎不变的情况下，随着重复频率的升高，SBS反射率急剧下降，石英玻璃内部也更容易被打坏，同时，输出能量的起伏也增大。

Large aperture tapered fiber phase conjugate mirror in MOPA laser systems with high repetition rate and high pulse energy

A large aperture tapered fused silica fiber phase conjugate mirror with a maximum 50.7% stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) reflectivity is presented, which is operated with 400 Hz pulse repetition rate and 36.5 mJ input pulse energy. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time that over 50% SBS reflectivity is achieved by using solid-state phase conjugate mirror under such high pulse repetition rate and high pulse energy. With much higher pulse repetition rate of 500 and 1000 Hz, the maximum SBS reflectivity is 41.2% and 33.3%, respectively. A single-longitudinal-mode Nd:YAG laser is experimentally studied with master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) scheme using such a tapered fiber as a phase conjugate mirror. A 101 mJ pulse energy is achieved at 400 Hz repetition rate, with a pulse width of 6 ns and a M² factor of less than 2. The corresponding peak power reaches 16.8 MW.     

High repetition rate laser pulses amplified by Nd/Cr:YAG ceramic amplifier under CW arc-lamp-light pumping

Laser pulses with high repetitive rate generated from a Q-switch microchip Nd:YAG oscillator were amplified by Active mirror composed of Nd/Cr:YAG ceramic pumped by CW arc-lamp. The laser pulses were amplified, and saturation of averaged output laser power was observed. Repetitive ratio of injected laser pulses was changed from 20 to 100 kHz. Averaged output laser power and gain were measured, and gain coefficient and power-extraction efficiency were evaluated. Output laser power was calculated and compared to experimentally measured one, and the calculated results are consistent with the experimental ones. For amplification of laser pulses with high repetitive ratio, this laser material can realize very high laser gain with low pumping power density and high optical-optical conversion efficiency under CW-lamp-light pumping.     

Compensation of the thermally induced depolarization in a double-pass Nd:YAG rod amplifier with a stimulated Brillouin scattering phase conjugate mirror

Stimulated Brillouin scattering phase conjugate mirrors (SBS-PCMs) are extensively used to compensate the phase distortion of active media in a high-energy laser system with double-pass amplification. However, the depolarization loss from the thermally induced birefringence of the active medium by a photoelastic effect cannot be avoided despite the uses of phase conjugate mirrors. In this work, the depolarization loss in a double-pass Nd:YAG rod amplifier with a SBS-PCM has been studied with Jones matrix calculations. In addition, the depolarization ratios and the leak beam patterns are obtained experimentally and theoretically for four possible optical schemes. Both experiment and theoretical results show that depolarization is effectively compensated when a Faraday rotator is located after the amplifier.

The 266-nm ultraviolet-beam generation of all-fiberized super-large-mode-area narrow-linewidth nanosecond amplifier with tunable pulse width and repetition rate

We report on a compact, stable, all-fiberized narrow-linewidth (0.045 nm) pulsed laser source emitting laser beam with a wavelength of 266 nm, and tunable pulse width and repetition rate. The system is based on all-fiberized nanosecond amplifier architecture, which consists of Yb-doped fiber preamplifiers and a super-large-mode-area Yb-doped fiber power amplifier. The fiber amplifier with a core of 50 μ is used to raise the threshold of the stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) effect and to obtain high output power and single pulse energy. Using lithium triborate (LBO) crystal and beta-barium borate (BBO) crystal for realizing the second-harmonic generation (SHG) and fourth-harmonic generation (FHG), we achieve 17 μJ (1.73 W) and 0.66 μJ (66 mW), respectively, at wavelengths of 532 nm and 266 nm and a repetition rate of 100 kHz with pulse width of 4 ns. This source has great potential applications in fluorescence research and solar-blind ultraviolet optical communication.     

重复频率可调谐的超低抖动光窄脉冲源的研究

提出了一种新型的基于光电振荡器的重复频率可调谐的超低抖动光窄脉冲源. 光电振荡器系统可以产生超低相位噪声的微波信号; 被该信号调制的直调光经过两次相位调制之后, 使光脉冲的啁啾增强; 再通过一段色散补偿光纤, 光脉冲被进一步压窄. 实验中使用YIG可调滤波器, 可以得到8–12 GHz内步进为200 MHz的可调谐微波信号, 因此光脉冲的重复频率具有可调谐性. 当微波信号即脉冲重复频率为9.6 GHz时, 测得脉冲宽度为3.7 ps, 相位噪声为-130.1 dBc/Hz@10 kHz. 由此得出光脉冲的瞬时抖动为60.1 fs (100 Hz–1 MHz), 因此该方案产生的光窄脉冲源具有超低的抖动.

Generation of high-energy dual-wavelength domain wall pulse with low repetition rate in an HNLF-based fiber ring laser

The generation of high-energy dual-wavelength domain wall pulse with a low repetition rate is demonstrated in a highly nonlinear fiber （HNLF）-based fiber ring laser. By introducing the intracavity birefringence-induced spectral filtering effect, the dual-wavelength lasing operation can be achieved. In order to enhance the cross coupling effect between the two lasing beams for domain wall pulse formation, a 215-m HNLF is incorporated into the laser cavity. Experimentally, it is found that the dual-wavelength domain wall pulse with a repetition rate of 77.67 kHz could be efficiently obtained through simply rotating the polarization controller （PC）. At a maximum pump power of 322 mW, the 655-nJ single pulse energy in cavity is obtained. The proposed configuration provides a simpler and more efficient way to generate high energy pulse with a low repetition rate.
