The use of a concave grating in pulsed dye laser cavities

The concept of using a concave diffraction grating for both beam expansion and spectral dispersion in a pulsed dye laser cavity is introduced. A simple, aberration free design based on a double pass Wadsworth configuration is suggested and its characteristics are discussed.     

A prism anamorphic system for Gaussian beam expander

Basic properties are given of the prism anamorphic expander of a Gaussian beam composed of a couple of prisms in tandem. Its shorter overall length for a given expansion, relative ease of optical adjustment, a sharp selection of polarization component, and rather small inclusive dispersion make it an excellent beam expander in a specific laser cavity. The design principle is presented of the prism system with a grating for an anastigmatic optical resonator for a dye laser of narrow linewidth and of short pulse duration.     

Polarization and Color Separator Using Binary Phase Grating with Subwavelength Period

A data projector using three liquid crystal display panels has a complex optical system. The illuminating optics separate the beam from a light source into three primary colors and separate those into opposite polarizations using multi-layer films and prisms. A reflection grating with the period of subwavelength has high diffraction efficiency for p polarized light and high regularly reflectance for s polarized light. The diffraction angle of a grating largely depends on the wavelength, because a diffractive optical element (DOE) has large chromatic dispersion. The grating with the period of subwavelength can separate the unpolarized light into polarization components effectively using its polarization dependency and can separate white light into color components using its chromatic dispersion simultaneously. The grating makes the optical system simpler and smaller than those with conventional devices. In this paper the efficiency of polarization separation for the grating is calculated by a rigorous analytical method. Next, the condition for color separation is calculated by Snell#x0027;s law, and an optical system using a grating that performs polarization and color separation is proposed. Experimental results of the DOE fabricated are well matched with those of this simulation.     

星载高分辨率超光谱成像仪分光方式的选择

从多个方面分析了棱镜和光栅色散分光的优缺点,分析结果表明棱镜更适于星载高分辨率超光谱成像仪的分光。在透过率方面,棱镜光谱仪透过率高达95.24％(VNIR),而光栅的衍射效率仅为60%~70%。在杂散光方面,棱镜光谱仪的杂散光可达10－4,而光栅的杂散光为10－2。在0.4 －2.5 范围,棱镜光谱仪相对光栅光谱仪有优越性。在色散线性方面,光栅光谱仪基本线性,棱镜光谱仪的短波非线性问题可通过复合棱镜进行补偿。可靠性方面,棱镜光谱仪较光栅光谱仪有优势;在光谱带宽和成本方面,棱镜光谱仪与光栅光谱仪基本接近。     

A note on the dispersion of a prism used as a beam expander in a nitrogen laser pumped dye laser

It is shown that the dispersion of the prism material in a grating tuned dye laser containing an intracavity prism beam expander cannot be neglected in practical situations.     

Spherical reflectors as laser-beam expanders

Lasers emit a narrow beam of light which, for many applications, is often required to be expanded and then collimated. A common type of device used for this purpose is a lens telescope in which a pin-hole is placed at the common focal point of the two lenses. In dye laser cavities, dispersion through a number of prisms gives an expanded beam. The divergence of a laser beam can also be achieved by a convex reflecting surface like a polished steel ball. Here the capability of a small steel ball as an inexpensive, simple and convenient laser-beam expander has been investigated experimentally. It has been shown, with the help of shearing interferograms and Ronchigrams, that the aberrations introduced from on-axis as well as off-axis illumination of the ball are less than 1/4 of a fringe.

介绍了一种减少半导体激光器阵列光栅外腔光谱合束(SBC)整体光谱展宽的方法,通过加入一组变形棱镜对传统光谱合束结构进行了改善。变形棱镜的作用实现减小半导体激光线阵输出光斑宽度,减小入射到光栅上的入射角度进而减小整体的光谱线宽。采用发光单元宽度为100 m、周期为500 m、由19个发光单元组成的常规CM-Bar条进行光栅-外腔光谱合束技术的理论推导及软件模拟,得到了光谱线宽为3.2 nm。与通过增大柱透镜焦距来减小光谱线宽的方法相比,此方法的优势是保证了整体光谱合束的整体结构在500 mm以内,使得各个发光单元有足够反馈量,抑制光束间串扰,保证合束后的光束质量和效率。

利用波动方程,研究了脉冲贝塞尔光束在自由空间传输时的空间诱导群速度色散(SIGVD)效应. 结果表明,三阶SIGVD能使脉冲贝塞尔光束的时域逐渐演化为艾里分布. 由于艾里-贝塞尔光弹是一种新奇的时、空都不扩展的局域波包, 能在光与物质相互作用的很多应用领域发挥作用.因此,本文提出了 通过色散管理技术补偿二阶SIGVD,利用三阶SIGVD在自由空间产生艾里-贝塞尔光弹的方案. 为分析这种光弹的时空传输特性,数值模拟了它在色散介质中的传输情况. 结果表明,这种光弹能在色散介质中保持空域不衍射、时域不色散的稳定传输.     

Variable Wavelengths Fiber Bragg Gratings Written with A Phase Mask and Four Prisms

Using only one diffractive element, the Talbot interferometer provides a robust and inherently stable method for reproducing fiber Bragg gratings with variable wavelengths, and reduces the complexity of the fiber grating fabrication system. However, the usable length of the grating is limited by the practical length of the mirrors. This paper presents a phase mask with two fixed prisms and two rotational prisms to inscribe fiber Bragg gratings with variable Bragg wavelengths. In this system, the fiber Bragg grating is inscribed by UV interference stripes of 193 nm derived from two rotational prisms and two fixed prisms, where phase mask is used as a beam splitter of ±1 order diffraction light. It is noteworthy that the tunable phase mask interferometer decreases the demand of the length of prism evidently.     

透射型光折变体全息光栅对超短脉冲激光光束衍射的特性

在Kogelnik耦合波理论的基础上,考虑光栅记录介质的色散效应的影响,研究了光折变体全息光栅对不同偏振状态的超短脉冲激光光束衍射的性质,讨论了高斯型入射脉冲激光光束的谱宽与光栅的有效衍射谱宽之比不同时,衍射和透射光束的光谱宽度、时间宽度、波形和衍射效率的变化。结果表明,光栅的有效衍射谱宽受光栅参量及入射条件的影响,对衍射性质的影响很大,且在考虑光栅记录介质的色散效应时减小。当入射脉冲的偏振方向垂直于入射面时,光栅的有效衍射谱宽大于偏振方向平行于入射面的情形,衍射效率在入射脉冲宽度较大时小于偏振方向平行于入射面的情形;谱宽比较大时,衍射光束的时间分布曲线产生展宽和变形,且比偏振方向平行于入射面的情形展宽和变形得更加明显。

Group-delay Dispersion in Double-prism Pair and Limitation in Broadband Laser Pulses

A general expression of group-delay dispersion is obtained without any approximation for a pair of double prisms with an arbitrary apex angle. This expression also includes the change of dispersion resulting from change in insertion of the prism material into the beam by translating prism-pairs. The high-order dispersion can be calculated by means of this expression. The limitation for generation of negative group-delay dispersion by use of prism-pairs is presented for ultrashort laser pulses with broadband spectrum.
