飞秒脉冲激光啁啾对4,4’-二(二正丁胺基)二苯乙烯的光限幅及动态双光子吸收的影响(英文)

通过采用预估矫正的时域有限差分方法(FDTD)数值求解Maxwell-Bloch方程,研究飞秒啁啾脉冲激光在4,4’-二(二正丁胺基)二苯乙烯(BDBAS)分子介质中的光限幅行为(OL)和动态双光子吸收(TPA)截面.计算表明啁啾率的符号和大小都对频谱演化和光限幅行为产生影响.啁啾率的符号决定频移的方向:正啁啾对应频谱蓝移,负啁啾对应频谱红移.随着啁啾率绝对值的增大,频移更加明显,光限幅窗口变窄,同时出射光强饱和值变大.有趣的是,当负啁啾降低到一定值(-0.025/fs2)时,出现自感应透明(SIT)现象.另外,动态双光子吸收截面在考虑啁啾效应的情况下减小.本研究提供了一种控制非线性光学吸收的方法.

Z-scan studies and optical limiting of nanosecond laser pulses in neutral red dye

The nonlinear optical absorption, refraction and optical limiting behaviour of an organic dye, neutral red, were investigated under excitation with nanosecond laser pulses at 532 nm. The nonlinear optical responses of the material were studied both in solution and solid film, made in methanol and polyvinyl alcohol, respectively, using single-beam Z-scan technique. The open aperture Z-scans of the solution samples displayed a switch over from saturable absorption to enhanced absorption with increase in input intensity. Theoretical fit to the experimental data indicated that the dominant mechanism of nonlinear absorption is two-photon absorption. The closed aperture Z-scans of both the samples denoted positive nonlinearity, which was three orders larger in magnitude in solid film, compared with that in solution. The results of optical limiting experiments revealed that neutral red exhibited strong optical limiting of nanosecond laser pulses with a threshold lower than that of C₆₀ in toluene.     

Resonant propagation of femtosecond laser pulse in DBASVP molecule：one-dimensional asymmetric organic molecule

We have investigated the resonant propagation of femtosecond laser pulse in 4-trans-[p-（N, N-Di-n-butylamino）- p-stilbenyl vinyl] pyridine medium with permanent dipole moments. The electronic structures and parameters for the compound have been calculated by using density functional theory. In the optical regime, there is one charge-transfer state, and the molecule can thus be simplified as a two-level system. Both the one- and two-photon transitions occur between the ground and charge-transfer states. The numerical results show that the permanent dipole moments have an obvious effect on the propagation of the ultrashort pulse laser. The ideal self-induced transparency disappears for 2π pulse, and second harmonic spectral components occur significantly due to the two-photon absorption process. For the 6π pulse, continuum frequency generation is produced and a shorter duration pulse in time domain with 465 as is obtained.     

Chirping and spreading of ultrashort laser pulses in underdense plasmas

A linear theory on the propagation of ultrashort pulses including only a few cycles in underdense plasmas is presented. It is shown that the dispersion in plasmas causes severe distortions in the pulse shape, including pulse chirping and spreading. The analytical calculations coincide very well with those obtained by particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. The upper limit of the peak amplitude of the pulses, above which the linear theory breaks down due to the setting in of nonlinear effects of both the relativistic electron-mass increase and ponderomotive force, is also examined by PIC simulations. At certain high amplitudes, it is found that the ultrashort laser pulses can propagate like solitons.

Absorption of ultrashort electromagnetic pulses in plasma with inhomogeneous distribution of density and temperature

The analysis of influence of the inhomogeneous distribution of temperature and density of atoms on the probability of absorption of ultrashort electromagnetic pulses in plasma is carried out. A specific example of divertor plasma of tokamaks and absorption in the Lyman series (at the Ly-α line) is considered. It is shown that the absorption probability may exceed relative populations of excited levels in divertor plasma by several orders of magnitude. The influence of the pulse duration on the probability of excitation of an atomic level is considered. The results suggest a possibility of a sharp increase in a fluorescence signal under the action of an ultrashort pulse.
