Analysis of temperature distributions in diode-pumped alkali vapor lasers

Assuming the pump light to be a Gaussian beam and considering the medium absorption, we establish the heat conduction model to describe the temperature distribution in diode-pumped alkali vapor lasers (DPALs) with two different pumping ways. Combining with the experimental parameters in cesium laser, the spatial temperature distribution picture, the longitudinal and the radial temperature distributions of two cesium lasers are obtained by numerical solving the model. Influences of the pump power, the beam waist and the absorption coefficient on the axial and the radial temperature distribution are calculated and compared for the two Cs lasers. The result suggests that Cs laser pumped by two laser diode arrays can improve the spatial temperature distribution condition and reduce the longitudinal temperature gradient, which is good for reducing the thermal effects and improving the output characteristics of DPALs.     

PSDF of log-amplitude scintillation for 7 μm band laser beam with absorption by water vapour

The power spectral density function (PSDF) of the log-amplitude scintillation for an infrared laser beam was measured experimentally. To investigate the contribution of the absorption and the dispersion that cause the scintillation, we chose 16 wavelengths of infrared light and one wavelength of visible light. It is found that the spectral density of scintillation for the infrared beam does not agree with that for the visible beam, as predicted by Tatarskii's theory in the low-frequency region below 1 Hz. This disagreement between the experiment and the theory in the low-frequency region should be attributed to water vapour absorption.     

Velocity spectrometer for a neutral atomic beam

A velocity spectrometer for a neutral atomic beam has been developed to prepare a monovelocity atomic beam. In order to disperse a relatively fast atomic beam according to its longitudinal velocity, a magnetic quadrupole lens with a large magnetic gradient has been used. The device was made using NdFeB permanent magnets. The magnetic gradient in the quadrupole was measured to be sufficiently large (1 T/cm) and uniform along the radial direction. The resonance fluorescence spectra of the Li atomic beam after passing through the magnetic quadrupole lens have been measured by using a single-mode tunable laser. From the peak shift of the fluorescence spectrum, the exerted force on Li atoms by the magnetic lens was 8160 times as large as the acceleration of gravity. Using the present spectrometer, we have measured the longitudinal velocity distribution of the thermal Li beam at 800 °C, which was in good agreement with the result from the fluorescence spectra. It is expected that a monovelocity Li atomic beam of 1000 m/s with a velocity spread narrower than 1% can be easily formed with a compact experimental arrangement using the developed velocity spectrometer. In this case, the available flux given as a fraction of the incident Li flux is estimated to be about 1%. A high-velocity resolution of 0.03% is expected at the available fractional flux of about 0.01%. Received: 5 June 2000 / Revised version: 14 August 2000 / Published online: 8 November 2000

Measurement of laser light thomson-scattered from a cooling electron beam

First results are presented from an experiment scattering laser light from a relativistic electron beam. The 5 cm diameter continuous electron beam of 28 keV kinetic energy and 2.6 A current presents an electron gas of a density of 8×10⁷ cm^–3, from which 20 ns pulses of laser light (490 nm) were scattered at a repetition rate of 15 Hz and an average power of 20 mJ per pulse. The Doppler-shifted wavelength of photons backscattered under 180° was analysed with a Fabry-Perot interferometer. This technique provides, for the first time, a non-destructive measurement of the velocity distribution in an electron beam radially resolved in space. The results presented here comprise the direct measurement of the absolute electron energy and the degree of space-charge compensation in the electron beam. The determination of an upper bound of 10^–2 for the ratio of longitudinal to transverse electron temperature implies the first direct measurement of a flattened velocity distribution.     

An investigation of laser-induced fluorescence for measuring velocity distributions of neutral atoms using a CW dye laser

The velocity distribution of evaporated Zr atoms has been measured by means of laser-induced fluorescence using a cw dye laser by scanning the laser line across the Doppler-broadened absorption line profile of the atoms. It is shown that the experimental data can be explained on the basis of an excitation theory for a three-level system developed from basic principles. It was calculated that the probability for an atom to be in the excited state mainly depends on the radiation-power density of the laser and on the residence time of the atom in the exciting laser light. It was found that the laser frequency must be well stabilized in order to meet the assumptions in the excitation calculation. Otherwise deviations to the theoretical predictions appear in the experimental results due to the jitter of the dye laser.     

Acousto-induced structural change in amorphous As2S3

The acoustic flux injection method was applied to amorphous As₂S₃. The velocity and the attenuation constant for shear wave at ～ 100MHz were measured through the observation of the Brillouin scattering of the light beam from a He-Ne laser. The optical transmission around absorption edge was found to change after the injection of acoustic fluxes. It was also found that the sound velocity decreased with increasing injection time of acoustic fluxes and the amount of the change of the sound velocity reached ～ 20% after 10⁵ injections. The changes in the optical transmission and the sound velocity tended to be erased by annealing below the glass transition temperature. These phenomena are considered to be due to structural changes caused by the injection of strong acoustic fluxes.     

Measurments of attenuation and refractive dispersion due to atmospheric water vapor at 80 and 240 GHz

Field line-of-sight propagation experiments were made at 80 and 240 GHz on a horizontal path of 810 m. The measured attenuations showed quadratic dependences on atmospheric water vapor density, and absorptions in excess of theoretical predictions were observed at both frequencies, while the measured refractive dispersion between these two frequencies showed a linear dependence on water vapor density and was in good agreement with theoretical prediction. Liebe's model for water vapor attenuation including empirical continuum absorption is confirmed to be effective for 80 and 240 GHz.

Analysis of the absorption mechanism during laser-metal interaction

The present study examines the absorption of a laser beam at different wavelengths by a partially-ionized vapour during the interaction mechanism. The applicability of the theoretical models developed is discussed in detail. The interaction of the high- and low-power intensities of a laser beam with plasma is distinguished. It is shown that different metal vapours at similar temperatures and densities have absorption depths which may differ by an order of magnitude. Even more substantial is the difference between the absorption depths of light from different lasers in common use. It is also shown that the free electron temperature becomes significantly different from the heavy particle temperature for power intensities above the critical level which is typically > 10¹⁴W/m². The free electron velocity distribution has an isotropic part which becomes non-Maxwellian for power intensities greater than the critical power intensity.

Finally, the measured results have been compared with the theoretical calculation.     

Theoretical determination of the ablation rate of metals in multiple-nanosecond laser pulses irradiation regime

A detailed understanding of the physical determinants of the ablation rate in multiple nanosecond laser pulses regime is of key importance for technological applications such as patterning and pulsed-laser deposition. Here, theoretical modeling is employed to investigate the ablation of thick metallic plates by intense, multiple nanosecond laser pulses. A new photo-thermal model is proposed, in which the complex phenomena associated to the ablation process are accounted for as supplementary terms of the classical heat equation. The pulsed laser ablation in the nanosecond regime is considered as a competition between thermal vapourization and melt ejection under the action of the plasma recoil pressure. Computer simulations using the photo-thermal model presented here and the comparison of the theoretical results with experiment indicate two different mechanisms that contribute to the decrease of the ablation efficiency. First, during the ablation process the vapour/plasma plume expanding above the irradiated target attenuates the laser beam that reaches the sample, leading to a marked decrease of the ablation efficiency. Additional attenuation of the laser beam incident on the sample is produced due to the heating of the plasma by the absorption of the laser beam into the plasma plume. The second mechanism by which the ablation efficiency decreases consists of the reduction of the incident laser intensity with the lateral area, and of the melt ejection velocity with the depth of the hole.     

Inverse Bremsstrahlung absorption coefficient in inhomogeneous plasma with nonextensive electron velocity distribution and Tsallis exponential electron density profile

Inverse bremsstrahlung (collisional) absorption of the laser beam is studied in plasma with a generalized (q-nonextensive) electron velocity distribution and some kind of generalized electron density profile. It is shown that for some values of parameters designating the q-nonextensive electron velocity distribution function and its generalized density profile, the calculated absorption coefficient reduces to the already known cases with Maxwellian velocity distribution with linear and exponential density profiles.

Dispersion and attenuation by transmission,reflection, and mode conversion in welded pipes

Torsional wave dispersion and attenuation in an open empty welded pipe are determined from a multi-receiver position reflection experiment. The fundamental torsional wave is dominantly reflected at the free end and the converted non-axisymmetric flexural modes are naturally attenuated. The resulting phase velocity contours are in agreement with theoretical predictions. The transmission losses are quantified and compared to those reflective elements associated with end and weld reflection. At any reflective node, the incident wave is split between back and forward preserved mode scattering (“reflection/transmission”), conversion to other modes plus energy lost by absorption. The ratios for each element are quantified.
