We propose and demonstrate a Q-switched erbium-doped fiber laser(EDFL) using an erbium-doped zirconiaalumina silica glass-based fiber(Zr-EDF) as a saturable absorber.

Modeling of Multi-Wavelength Brillouin Fiber Laser Based on Analytical Solutions in a Linear Cavity

Abstract

In this article, an accurate model of multi-wavelength Brillouin fiber laser is developed by analytically solving cascade-stimulated Brillouin scattering equations in a linear cavity. The dependence of Stokes signal power on the incident pump power and the successive reflected transmitted powers is calculated. Furthermore, an analytical approach that can be used to predict the generated Stokes signals power is derived. Finally, this derived model is checked with experimental results that show significant agreement with the analytical solution of the model.

A compact femtosecond Ti：sapphire ring oscillator composed of chirped mirrors is designed. By accurately optimizing the intra-cavity dispersion and the mode locking range of the ring configuration, we generate laser pulses as short as 7.7fs with a repetition rate as high as 745 MHz. The spectrum spans from 660nm to 94Ohm and the average output power is 480mW under the cw pump laser of 7.5 W.     

Obtaining Single Picosecond Pulses in a Short-Cavity Dye Laser with Switching of Lasing to the Saturable Absorber

A new method of lasing of single picosecond pulses in a short-cavity dye laser with spatial separation of the lasing medium and the saturable absorber in the case of pumping by nanosecond pulses with energies much higher than the oscillation threshold has been developed and experimentally realized. The method is based on the use of a high-Q, external cavity tuned to the amplification wavelength of the saturable absorber. The first picosecond pulse is lased at a lasing-medium wavelength and the subsequent pulses are lased at a saturable-absorber amplification wavelength.

Study of Direct Amplification of Ultrashort Light Pulses in a Laser Amplifier with a View to Obtaining High Radiation Contrast

An amplification scheme for ultrashort laser pulses of high radiation contrast was used to perform experiments on ablation pressure symmetrization using a prepulse upon acceleration of thin foils. It is shown that the spontaneous radiation of the regenerative amplifier restricts the energy contrast in the amplification of chirped pulses at a level of 10^-4–10^-3. The possibility of direct amplification of a short pulse with a view to increasing the energy contrast ratio was considered. Experiments were performed on the PICO laser facility to demonstrate that a 10-ps pulse amplification achieved an intensity 100 GW/cm², a gain factor of 1.2, and an inversion dumping factor >30%.     

Development of a Unique, High Precision Linear Motor Integrated Air Slide Table, and Its Application to Laser Beam Writers

This paper reports on the development of a unique, high precision linear motor integrated air slide table for precise positioning and its application to laser beam writers for photo-mask pattern-making. The air slide table takes advantage of the balance between the air bearing’s levitating and magnetic forces. A brushless linear motor and a high resolution linear encoder are integrated into the table. The unique construction of the device results in a very compact package with excellent accuracy. The basic characteristics of the air slide table are evaluated. The device is applied to a laser beam writer, which must be capable of rendering minute and precise patterns for photo-masking equipment. Examples are given including optical devices such as wave guides and Fresnel zone plates which were fabricated and evaluated. Experimental data is given to show that the Fresnel zone plate fabricated here can be used to focus a laser beam to the theoretical limit, just like a standard refractive lens.
