Intrinsic Bistability and Critical Slowing in Tm^3＋/Yb^3＋ Codoped Laser Crystal with the Photon Avalanche Mechanism

We present theoretically a novel intrinsic optical bistability （IOB） in the Tm^3＋ /Yb^3＋ codoped system with a photon avalanche mechanism. Numerical simulations based on the rate equation model demonstrate distinct 10B hysteresis and critical slowing dynamics around the avalanche thresholds. Such an 10B characteristic in Tm^3＋ /Yb^3＋ eodoped crystal has potential applications in solid-state bistable optical displays and luminescence switchers in visible-infrared spectra.     

Structural Change in Au^3＋-Doped BK7 Glass Irradiated by Femtosecond Laser

We report on structural change in an Au^3＋-doped BK7 glass irradiated by an infrared femtosecond laser at 800 nm. A grating structure is inscribed in the glass sample. The glass sample is then annealed at various temperatures. Structural change of the grating is observed by an optical microscope. Absorption spectra indicate that colour centres are induced after the laser irradiation, and they decrease with increasing annealing temperature. Au nanoparticles are precipitated at high temperatures （≥ 600℃）. The mechanisms of the phenomena are discussed.

提出在光纤放大器中,使用光纤布喇格光栅作为泵浦光反射镜,所需的双包层光纤可以缩短,同时至少保持了与没有光纤布喇格光栅作为反射镜时光纤放大器相同的性能.基于速率及传输方程,对使用和不使用光纤布喇格光栅的铒、镱共掺双包层光纤放大器的性能进行了数值模拟.结果表明,使用光纤布喇格光栅作为反射镜时光纤放大器可以获得与无光栅时相同的输出功率,但仅仅需要后者长度一半的光纤,无论是前向泵浦还是后向泵浦.对后向泵浦方式并使用光纤布喇格光栅作为反射镜,可获得最高的输出功率及光增益,同时使用了较短的光纤.

Space-Selective Precipitation of Ba2TiSi2O8 Crystals in Sm3^＋-Doped BaO-TiO2-SiO2 Glass by Femtosecond Laser Irradiation

The ferroelectric crystal Ba2TiSi2O8 with high second-order optical nonlinearity is precipitated in Sm^3＋-doped BaO-TiO2-SiO2 glass by a focused 800hm, 250 kHz and 150fs femtosecond laser irradiation. No apparent blue and red emissions are observed at the beginning, while strong blue emission due to second harmonic generation and red emission due to the f-f transitions of Sm^3＋ are observed near the focal point of the laser beam after irradiation for 25s. Micro-Raman spectra confirm that Ba2 TiSi2O8 crystalline dots and lines are formed after laser irradiation. The mechanism of the phenomenon is discussed.

Charge transfer excitation of the Nd3+, Sm3+, Dy3+, Ho3+, Er3+ and Tm3+ emission in CaGa2S4

The excitation spectra of the Nd³⁺, Sm³⁺, Dy³⁺, Ho³⁺, Er³⁺ and Tm³⁺ emission in the sodium-compensated CaGa₂S₄ host lattice, a sulfide with wide band gap, contain an intense band below the absorption edge. Comparison of the energy of its maximum with thermodynamic data and correlations to Jørgensen's refined spin-pairing theory predictions allow one to ascribe this band to a charge transfer transition ending onto 4f orbitals. The irregular variation within the rare earth series contrasts with the monotonic variation of the absorption edge in stoichiometric rare earth sulfides (e.g. NaLnS₂), associated with interband transitions.
