A design of novel photonic crystal fiber with low and flattened dispersion for supporting 84 orbital angular momentum modes

A dual-guided photonic crystal fiber(PCF) with low and flattened dispersion is designed, which can support a large number of orbital angular momentum(OAM) modes. The properties of the proposed PCF are systematically analyzed through the finite element method. The results show that the proposed PCF can support up to 84 OAM modes with 600 nm bandwidth ranging from 1000 to1600 nm. All values of mode purity are above 91.7%, the isolation parameters are larger than 67 dB and the maximum value up to 145 dB, the lowest confinement loss is only 5×10~(-13) dB·m~(-1).More importantly, the values of dispersion for all modes are less than 40 ps·km~(-1)·nm~(-1), and the lowest dispersion variation is only 0.7 ps·km~(-1)·nm~(-1). These superior optical properties make the proposed PCF have great advantage in stable transmissions of data and long-distance optical fiber communication system with large capacity.     

A study of electron beams extracted from a plasma produced by laser interaction with a solid target

In this work, wave formation in laser-produced plasma is investigated by an analysis of time-of-flight signal of the electron pulse. Electrons are extracted from a non-equilibrium plasma, generated by pulsed laser ablation on a solid Ge target. The process is represented by ion-acoustic waves, which are generated from an external perturbation, given by the positive bias voltage of a Faraday cup. The characteristics of the waves depend substantially on the geometry of the plasma expansion chamber and on laser fluence, but are independent on bias potential. A KrF excimer UV laser was employed for plasma generation. Measurements were performed at two different laser fluences, 4 and 7 J/cm². The plasma created propagates with a mean velocity of about 1.1?×?10⁴ m/s. A movable Faraday cup was employed in order to collect electrons at different bias voltage values.     

数值模拟飞秒激光加热金属的热电子发射

研究了超短超强激光脉冲与薄膜靶相互作用中产生的电子热发射.当超短激光脉冲与薄膜靶相互作用时,首先入射超短脉冲激光对吸收深度内的自由电子进行热激发,接下来热激发电子将能量传递到附近的晶格,再通过电子和晶格二体系的热传导,以及电子晶格间的热耦合,将能量传递到材料的内部.因此,电子在皮秒级甚至更短的时间内不能与晶格进行能量耦合,使电子温度超出晶格温度很多,电子热发射就变得非常明显了.用双温方程联合Richardson-Dushman方程的方法对飞秒脉冲激光照射金属靶的电子热发射进行了研究,结果发现电子热发射对飞

Ablation of subsurface tumors using an ultra-short pulse laser

This paper demonstrates the novel technique of ablating subsurface tumors with minimal thermal damage to surrounding healthy tissue using a focused laser beam from an ultra-short pulse diode laser source. Experiments were performed on anesthetized healthy mice as well as mice with mammary tumors in order to demonstrate the fundamental advantages of using a focused-beam, ultra-short pulse laser to ablate subcutaneous tissues. The technique was demonstrated through histological analysis of tissue samples after irradiation of anesthetized mice with or without mammary tumors. To demonstrate the efficacy of subsurface focusing, temperature was monitored at the subsurface tumor location and at the surface in an untranslated sample while irradiating with a focused ultra-short pulsed 1552 nm laser. Results show that temperature rise was dramatically greater at the focal depth than at the surface. Irradiation at the subsurface tumor location while translated over time across the tumor location resulted in precise ablation of the tumor. This work shows that a focused-beam ultra-short pulse 1552 nm laser results in precise ablation at the desired location with high efficacy and a minimal zone of collateral thermal and/or mechanical damage.

The processing resolution was 13 μm, and the narrowest line width was about 4 μm.     

超声振动对于激光烧蚀铝表面温度场仿真分析

针对超声振动对于激光烧蚀铝表面温度场的影响,建立了三维数值模型,利用ANSYS软件对超声振动辅助激光烧蚀金属铝的温度场进行了数值模拟。通过对比不同激光扫描速度、超声振动频率下激光相邻两个光斑温度场随时间的变化,发现相邻光斑的温度、尺寸以及位置均发生改变。数值研究表明,随着激光扫描速度的增加,激光扫描到相同位置的最大温度降低,而且凹坑的深度逐渐变浅;由于超声振动引起的介质分子位移,当超声振动频率为15 kHz时,凹坑温度发生了明显的下降且凹坑位置在振动方向发生了错位,这有利于产生新的激光作用轨迹。

Picosecond laser ablation of high-quality micro-grooves on CIGS (CuIn(1-x)Ga2Se x ) thin films

ABSTRACT

This paper presents a study of the effects of ablation direction, beam profile and outer environment on the width and morphology of micro-grooves ablated by a 10-ps, 532-nm laser with a changing range of fluences and scan speeds on 600?nm-thick CIGS (CuIn_(1-x)Ga₂Se _x ) thin films. Experiments show that rear-side ablation by picosecond laser with a flat top beam in water environment yields a larger groove width than normal front-side ablation with a Gaussian beam in air, which is attributed to different material removal mechanisms, uniform energy distribution and the refraction of laser in water. The heat-affected zone and irregular edges induced by the tearing effect are the main defects of groove morphology associated with front- and rear-side ablation processes, respectively. Our studies indicate that flat top beam ablation, in general, inhibits the over-ablation in the central region, thereby improving the uniformity of grooves, though it does not eliminate the heat-affected zone and irregularity of two edges. The straightness of groove edges is further improved with the flat top beam ablation carried out in a water environment, resulting from the action of the shock wave in water. Hence, the nearly perfect micro-grooves can be fabricated with rear-side flat top beam ablation under water, which are characterized by steep sidewalls, straight edges and intact glass substrate without cracks.     

Effect of ballistic electrons on ultrafast thermomechanical responses of a thin metal film

The ultrafast thermomechanical coupling problem in a thin gold film irradiated by ultrashort laser pulses with different electron ballistic depths is investigated via the ultrafast thermoelasticity model. The solution of the problem is obtained by solving finite element governing equations. The comparison between the results of ultrafast thermomechanical coupling responses with different electron ballistic depths is made to show the ballistic electron effect. It is found that the ballistic electrons have a significant influence on the ultrafast thermomechanical coupling behaviors of the gold thin film and the best laser micromachining results can be achieved by choosing the specific laser technology(large or small ballistic range).In addition, the influence of simplification of the ultrashort laser pulse source on the results is studied, and it is found that the simplification has a great influence on the thermomechanical responses, which implies that care should be taken when the simplified form of the laser source term is applied as the Gaussian heat source.     

基于有限元分析的大型固体激光器稳定性指标重分配

在大型固体激光器结构稳定性设计中,使用等概率分配方法的分配值作为光学元件稳定性设计指标常常会增加结构设计的难度,造成结构建造的巨大浪费。为此,提出了基于结构有限元分析的稳定性指标重分配方法,即将同一光路中光学元件振动响应引起靶点光束的定位误差作为各自的权重系数,采用线性加权和法对稳定性指标进行重新分配。稳定性指标重分配后,所得到的同一光路中各光学元件的安全系数相等。利用此方法对某大型固体激光装置主机装置靶区一条光路中光学元件的稳定性指标进行了重分配,得到每条光路上光学元件稳定性的安全系数均为1.229,满足结构稳定性设计要求。

Limit analysis for laser removal of micron contaminant colloidal silicon dioxide particles from the super-smooth optical glass substrate by pulse Nd:YAG laser

Multimode Nd:YAG pulse laser was applied to remove micron and submicron particles by vaporizing a thin paint film pre-coated on super-smooth optical substrate surface. By analyzing the poor absorption of the optical glass substrate to the irradiative Nd:YAG pulse laser, the removal mechanism of contaminated colloidal particles from the super-smooth surface through vaporization of a volatile solid film is described. A limit analysis was proposed to determine the lower and the upper threshold of laser fluence for cleaning the SiO₂ contaminants from super-smooth K8 optical substrate. Relevant experiments on laser cleaning of micron-polishing particles from super-smooth K8 optical substrate confirmed the usefulness of this method in assisting the selection of effective cleaning fluence for accomplishing high cleanliness, which was in a range of 80–90% of the predicted upper threshold.
