光电导开关工作模式的蒙特卡罗模拟

利用二维ensemble-Monte Carlo方法模拟了直流偏置的半绝缘GaAs(SI-GaAs)光电导开关在飞秒激光脉冲触发下的两种工作模式.结果表明：当偏置电场低于耿氏电场(GaAs为4.2kV/cm)时，开关输出电脉冲呈线性模式；偏置电场超过耿氏电场但触发光脉冲能量低于光能阈值，光电导开关仍然表现出线性工作模式；当偏置电场和触发光脉冲能量都超过非线性模式(“lock-on”模式)所需阈值，开关呈现非线性模式；在光子能量较高的激光脉冲触发下，开关非线性模式所需光能阈值降低.非线性工作模式源于光生载流子发生谷间散射，并在开关体内局部区域形成高场区，电场变化大，弛豫时间长，电脉冲呈现非线性.

Dynamic nonlinear effect on lasing in a random medium

We have studied both experimentally and numerically the dynamic effect of nonlinearity on lasing in disordered medium. The third-order nonlinearity not only changes the frequency and size of lasing modes, but also modifies the laser emission intensity and laser pulse width. When the nonlinear response time is longer than the lifetime of the lasing mode, the nonlinearity changes the laser output through modifying the size of the lasing mode. When the nonlinear response is faster than the buildup of the lasing mode, positive nonlinearity always extracts more laser emission from the random medium due to the enhancement of single particle scattering.     

Harmonic Mode-Locked Ytterbium-Doped Fibre Ring Laser

We demonstrate a harmonic mode-locked ytterbium-doped fibre ring laser, which consists of a polarization-sensitive isolator, two polarization controllers, two 976nm laser diodes as the pump source and a two-segment ytterbium-doped fibre. Utilizing an additive pulse mode-locked technique based on nonlinear polarization evolution, the ytterbium-doped fibre laser can operate in mode-locked state by adjusting the position of polarization controllers. The cavity fundamental repetition rate is 23.78 MHz. We also observe the second- and third-harmonic mode locking in the normal dispersion region, and their repetition rates are 47.66 MHz and 71.56 MHz, respectively. Over-driving of the saturable absorber in the harmonic mode-locking pulse is analysed and discussed in detail.

光脉冲对光导开关非线性导通性能的影响

设计了异面结构的GaAs光导开关,开关厚度为0.6mm,电极间隙为3mm。利用半导体激光二极管对开关进行了触发实验。随着开关两端偏置电压不断升高,开关输出脉冲幅度线性增加,输出波形与光脉冲相似,当偏置电压超过一定阈值,开关输出脉冲幅度显著增强,输出脉冲前沿快于光脉冲,开关进入了非线性工作模式。开关进入非线性模式,除了与偏置电压有关外,还与触发光脉冲前沿、能量有关,实验发现触发光脉冲前沿越快,能量越高,开关越容易进入非线性工作模式,所需的偏置电压也越低,但当电压低至某一阈值时(实验中约6kV),即使增加触发光能,开关也无法进入非线性模式。

Ultrafast nonlinear optical response of Ag:BaTiO3 composite films at the near-ultraviolet wavelengths

The ultrafast nonlinear optical response of Ag:BaTiO3 composite films synthesized by pulse laser deposition (PLD) is studied at the near-ultraviolet (400 nm) wavelength. The pulse duration of the laser used in the measurement is 200 fs. The real and imaginary parts of the third-order nonlinear susceptibility x(3) of the composite materials are measured. The composite films indicate self-focusing effect and nonlinear saturation, the values of Rex(3) and Imx(3) are measured to be 3.42 × 10-10 and -1.37 × 10-10 esu respectively, which are much lower than those reported before. It is mainly because that the duration of the laser used in the measurements is too short to induce the hot electron excitation and the thermal effect. The ultrafast nonlinear saturated absorption response of the Ag:BaTiO3 composite films may have potential applications for femtosecond laser mode locking.

Observation of dark pulse in a dispersion-managed fiber ring laser

The observation of dark pulse in a dispersion-managed fiber ring laser with net negative cavity group velocity dispersion (GVD) is reported. Both bright and dark pulses can be obtained in our fiber laser. When we appropriately adjust the cavity birefringence to achieve triple-wavelength mode-locked operation in the laser by rotating the polarization controller, the bright pulse could be switched to dark pulse. It is believed that the dark dispersion-managed (DM) pulse generation is caused by the linear and nonlinear intermodulation effects among the three wavelength pulses.

Tunable high energy giant chirped passively mode-locked Yb-doped fiber laser

A tunable, low-repetition rate, all-normal-dispersion Yb-doped fiber laser (YDFL) that is passively mode locked based on a phase shifted long period fiber grating (PS-LPFG) is demonstrated and proposed. The mode-locking mechanism of the laser is based on nonlinear polarization evolution (NPE). Using a PS-LPFG as the spectral filter in the laser cavity, the mode-locked output wavelength can be tuned continuously and smoothly over a spectral range of 10 nm, which is the first time implementation of a tunable giant chirped pulse with all-fiber format bandpass filter in YDFL. The maximum output pulse energy is 38.9 nJ at the repetition rate of 2.499 MHz.

A gain of 10.8 and 7.3 was obtained on the energy per pulse and on the output peak power between the two lasers.
