采用波长为1 064 nm/532 nm、脉宽6 ns(FWHM)的高重复频率调Q激光,研究了磷酸氧钛钾(KTP)晶体中灰迹的产生机理,以及色心密度对灰迹的影响。晶体透过率表征了色心密度,根据透过率与色心密度的关系以及色心密度对灰迹产生的决定作用,定义临界灰迹密度,当晶体透过率高于此值时可安全运行,而低于此值时,为避免晶体发生灾难性损伤应立即停止运行。实验结果表明：灰迹不仅大量吸收紫外及可见光能量,而且大量吸收近红外波段能量,这为灰迹的在线监测提供了一种监测方法。

以一定重复频率工作的KTP倍频效率的演化规律

基于导带电子密度和材料的有效介电函数的表达式,推导了KTP晶体对532 nm光波的吸收系数. 对比研究了不同峰值功率密度和重复频率下KTP晶体的导带电子密度和532 nm吸收系数的演化规律,以及倍频转换效率的演化规律. 结果表明,随着导带电子密度的增加,KTP晶体532 nm吸收系数随之增加,其倍频转换效率随之减小;当基频光入射功率密度一定时,不同重复频率脉冲作用引起的导带电子密度存在积累效应,导致KTP晶体532 nm透过率及倍频转换效率均随着作用时间的增加呈指数形式变化,随着脉冲重复频率的增加其积累效果更加明显,但随着作用时间的增加,导带电子密度、吸收系数均趋于同一稳定值. 关键词： KTP晶体 灰迹 倍频转换效率

Filamentation-assisted fourth-order nonlinear process in KTP crystal

We present an experimental investigation of a filamentation-assisted fourth-order nonlinear optical process in KTP crystals pumped by intense 1.53~eV (807~nm) femtosecond laser pulses. Femtosecond light pulses at 2.58~eV (480~nm) are generated by the fourth-order nonlinear polarization (P⁴(ω ₂ ) = χ ⁴(ω ₂ ,ω ,ω ,ω ,- ω ₁ )E³(ω )E^* (ω ₁ ), where E(ω ) corresponds to the pump frequency and E(ω ₁ ) to the supercontinuum generated through filamentation). If the system is seeded by a laser beam at ω ₁ or ω ₂ and there are spatial and temporal overlaps with the pump beam, E(ω ₁ ) and E(ω ₂ ) are simultaneously amplified. When the intensity of the seed laser beam exceeds a certain intensity threshold, the contribution of P⁴(ω ) = χ ⁴(ω ,ω ₁ ,ω ₂ ,-ω, - ω )E(ω ₁ )E(ω ₂ )(E^* (ω))² becomes non-negligible, and the amplification weakens. The conversion efficiency from the pump to the signal at 2.58~eV (480~nm) attains to 0.1%.     

Parametric generation of light in arbitrary directions of a biaxial KTP crystal pumped by an Nd:YAG laser

The conditions for collinear phase matching in the parametric generation of light in arbitrary directions of a biaxial KTP crystal pumped by an Nd:YAG laser were investigated with the use of invariant expressions for the refractive indices of isonormal waves. The tuning curves, effective nonlinear coefficients, spectral and angular phase-matching widths were calculated. B. I. Stepanov Institute of Physics, National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, 68, F.

Morphology of femtosecond laser-induced structural changes in KTP crystal

The morphology of structural changes in KTP crystal induced by single femtosecond laser pulse has been investigated by means of CCD camera, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atom force microscopy (AFM). The structurally changed region is depressed at energies close to the threshold for producing a structural change and melting ablation morphologies are observed as pulse energy is increased. Furthermore, periodic nanostructures are formed around the edge of the laser-induced spots.

High repetition rate pulsed laser of twin wavelengths from KTiOPO4 optical parametric oscillation

In this paper, some key techniques of KTiOPO_4 optical parametric oscillation (OPO) laser with repetitive frequencies and twin wavelengths output have been analysed theoretically and studied experimentally in detail. An intracavity optical parametric oscillator (IOPO) has been applied. Operating under 20Hz, laser output energy of more than 38mJ with twin wavelengths 1.57μm and 1.06μm has been achieved. Results of the experiments agree well with the theoretical discussion.     

High repetition rate mid-infrared laser source

An efficient, high-power mid-infrared laser source based on ZnGeP₂ (ZGP) optical parametric oscillator (OPO) is presented. Using a Q-switched Ho:YAG laser as the pump source a total output power of 10.6 W was obtained in the 3–5 μm band at 10 kHz and 8.5 W at 20 kHz. The Ho:YAG laser was pumped by two diode-pumped polarization coupled Tm:YLF lasers. Optical-to-optical efficiency achieved is >8.8% (laser-diode 792 nm to mid-IR 3–5 μm). With a commercial PtSi infrared camera (256×256 pixel focal plane array, 24 μm pitch) the pointing stability of Ho pump, signal and idler beam was measured to be better than 30 μrad. Whilst propagating the OPO beams over 100 m, little absorption for the idler beam was observed, resulting in a significant higher peak-to-peak value of ±22%, whereas the peak-to-peak stability of the signal pulses remained unchanged (±13%).

高功率Nd:YVO_4/KTP腔内倍频晶体温度分布的半解析热分析

非线性晶体KTP采用Ⅱ类相位匹配腔内倍频时,不仅要求晶体满足基频光的偏振匹配条件,而且所选用的晶体要求符合λ/2波片的条件,才能使晶体的谐波转换效率达到最佳。由于倍频晶体吸收基频光能量引起晶体内部非均匀温升,改变晶体内部各点的折射率,也会使晶体产生不应有的热形变,破坏晶体初始的位相匹配条件,严重影响输出激光的品质和倍频效率。减弱、改善这种情况的关键是准确得出在实际工作条件下晶体内部温度场。利用半解析热分析方法得出了KTP晶体内部温度场的计算方法,分析了各种热参量变化对KTP晶体内部温度场的影响。得出的结果具有一定的普适性,可以应用到具有轴对称形式内热源的其它热模型温度场的计算分析中,对连续波腔内倍频激光系统的设计将起到指导作用。

激光脉冲重复频率对冲量耦合系数的影响

设计了触发间隔从100 ms到5 ms可调的双脉冲触发器驱动TEA CO2激光器高压开关,用以模拟激光器不同的输出脉冲重复频率。用该装置精确控制的不同激光脉冲重复频率下,对抛物面型光船模型进行了大气模式激光推进中冲量耦合系数的实验研究。发现冲量耦合系数随着重复频率的增加而下降,而单位时间内光船获得的冲量耦合系数的增量则随着重复频率的增加而增大。初步分析认为,这是由于飞行器内的空气未得到充分的补充造成的。
