We experimentally demonstrate a method to generate shaped femtosecond laser pulses in the ultraviolet at a central wavelength
of 267 nm, the third harmonic of conventional titanium-sapphire femtosecond laser systems. Employing a 128-pixel liquid-crystal
spatial light modulator, we impose variable spectral phase modulations upon the near-infrared laser pulses. By this, complex
laser pulses can be shaped whose overall spectrum is still conserved. Our experiments show that it is possible to easily transfer
these pulses into the ultraviolet at 267 nm via sum-frequency mixing in nonlinear crystals and to predictably generate multistructured
ultraviolet femtosecond laser pulses. We analyze the temporal and spectral composition of these pulses after frequency conversion
into the ultraviolet using difference-frequency cross-correlation and XFROG (cross-correlation frequency-resolved optical
gating) techniques with an unmodulated fundamental laser pulse. The method can be employed to facilitate adaptive quantum
control experiments in the ultraviolet wavelength regime, where the major absorption bands of many organic molecular systems
are located.

We report on the fabrication of surface nanoparticles and micro/nanograting structures on bulk pure aluminum in air using a 150 fs, 775 nm femtosecond laser. We investigate the size of the generated surface nanoparticles under irradiation with different femtosecond laser pulses. Smaller nanoparticles can be induced by a larger number of laser pulses and a lower laser fluence. In addition, we observe the formation of micro/nanogratings when the laser focus is scanned across a pure aluminum surface in air. We obtain micro- and nano-grating composite structures on a pure aluminum surface by adjusting the laser fluence and scan velocity. Femtosecond laser surface ablation of bulk pure aluminum in air is potentially a promising technique for efficient fabrication of surface nanostructures. 相似文献

Tuneable, shaped, ultraviolet (UV) femtosecond laser pulses are produced by shaping and frequency doubling the output of a
commercial optical parametric amplifier (OPA). A reflective mode, folded, pulse shaping assembly employing a spatial light
modulator (SLM) shapes femtosecond pulses in the visible region of the spectrum. The shaped visible light pulses are frequency
doubled to generate phase- and amplitude-shaped, ultrashort light pulses in the deep ultraviolet. This approach benefits from
a simple experimental setup and the potential for tuning the central frequency of the shaped ultraviolet waveform. A number
of pulse shapes have been synthesised and characterised using cross-correlation frequency resolved optical gating (XFROG).
This pulse shaping method can be employed for coherent control experiments in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum where
many organic molecules have strong absorption bands.

Raman amplification in plasma has been promoted as a means of compressing picosecond optical laser pulses to femtosecond duration to explore the intensity frontier. Here we show for the first time that it can be used, with equal success, to compress laser pulses from nanosecond to picosecond duration. Simulations show up to 60% energy transfer from pump pulse to probe pulse, implying that multikilojoule ultraviolet petawatt laser pulses can be produced using this scheme. This has important consequences for the demonstration of fast-ignition inertial confinement fusion. 相似文献

The use of ultrashort laser pulses enables the deposition of films composed of mono-component nanoparticles exhibiting similar
shape and size. Films made of nickel (Ni) and silicon (Si) nanoparticles have been produced and investigated in view of the
expected interesting properties, resulting from the uniform distribution of metallic, magnetic Ni particles among semiconductive,
non-magnetic Si particles. The morphology of the deposited nanoparticles and the related magnetic and magneto-transport characteristics
of the films have been studied for different Ni contents, evidencing properties deriving from the peculiar deposition technique
and in particular the important role of the free volume inclusions and the particles tendency to not coalesce.

We perform laboratory experiments to study ultraviolet radiation generated by intense self-formed laser filaments produced by propagating high-power femtosecond laser pulses in air. The laser used in the experiment is a 0.5 TW Ti:sapphire system with the center wavelength at 800 nm. The observed ultraviolet emission occurs in the form of the third harmonic and frequency-upshifted radiation from the fundamental. We present direct characterization of the generated harmonic and frequency-upshifted radiation, including transverse imaging and spatially resolved spectral measurements. 相似文献

Noncollinear optical parametric up-conversion generation and amplification are realized in a thick β-barium borate (BBO) crystal, and a couple of visible femtosecond up-conversion laser pulses can be achieved by a femtosecond pulse at 800 nm as the pump sources. The theoretical and experimental results indicate that there exist phase-matching conditions for dual-color noncollinear parametric up-conversion generation and amplification, and their wavelengths can be tuned by rotating the BBO crystal. This parametric up-conversion generation and amplification can be attributed to three and five-wave mixing in a thick BBO crystal, and it shows the potential application on optical parametric chirped pulse amplification (OPCPA) to generate multi-color ultraviolet or visible femtosecond laser pulses pumped directly by femtosecond fundamental laser pulses without frequency-doubling or tripling. 相似文献

Ablation of Ni targets in water by laser impact (532 nm, 40 mJ/pulse, 10 Hz and 8 ns duration) focused on massive samples (2 mm diameter) generates colloids with fine nanoparticles. The amount of metal released in the solution (measured by mass loss of the target or ICP) was found to increase first linearly with time, but slower after 8 min of impact. The size distribution of the nanoparticles thus produced was measured (by TEM) to be in the range 3–5.3 nm in diameter, with a tendency for the size to be smaller for larger number of laser shots. Actually, nickel oxide nanoparticles were produced, rather than nickel nanoparticles as it was shown by HRTEM. XPS photoemission measurements evidenced the presence of nickel oxide species on the crater of the nickel sample surface after laser ablation. 相似文献

We present results on development and experimental implementation of a 1-kHz, coherent extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radia- tion
source based on high-order harmonic generation of the femtosecond, near-infrared laser pulses produced by the titanium-doped
sapphire laser system (35 fs, 1.2 mJ, 810 nm) at the Institute of Physics AS CR / PALS Centre. The source comprises a low-density
static gas cell filled with a conversion medium, typically argon. The comprehensive optimization of the XUV harmonic source
has been performed with respect to major parameters such as gas pressure in the cell, cell length, position of the focus of
the driving laser field with respect to the gas cell position, size of the driving near-infrared laser beam, chirp of the
femtosecond pulse, and the focal length of the lens deployed in the experimental setup. Harmonic spectra were recorded using
an XUV transmission grating spectrometer developed specifically for this purpose. Detailed characterization of the XUV source
has been performed including measurement of the XUV beam profile, M2 parameter of the beam, absolute energy, and spatial coherence. 相似文献

Efficient nonlinear Bragg diffraction was observed as an intense infrared femtosecond pulse was focused on a plasma grating induced by interference between two ultraviolet femtosecond laser pulses in air. The preformed electrons inside the plasma grating were accelerated by subsequent intense infrared laser pulses, inducing further collisional ionization and significantly enhancing the local electron density. 相似文献

The optical, structural, and nonlinear optical properties of silver nanoparticles prepared using the method of laser ablation in various liquids at wavelengths of 397, 532, and 795 nm with laser pulses of different duration are studied. An analysis of the dimensional and spectral characteristics of the silver nanoparticles revealed a time dynamics of the nanoparticle size distribution in solutions. It is shown that thermal self-defocusing is observed for the case of nanosecond or shorter pulses generated with a high repetition rate. For picosecond and femtosecond pulses with a low repetition rate, the effects of self-focusing (γ = 3 × 10?13 cm2 W?1) and saturated absorption (β = ?1.5 × 10?9 cm W?1) were observed in the solutions under study. The third-order nonlinear susceptibility of the silver nanoparticles was found to be 5 × 10?8 esu at a wavelength of 397 nm. 相似文献

A harmonic oscillator model is used to demonstrate the possibility of coherent control of acoustic vibrations of metal nanoparticles and thin films with sequences of femtosecond laser pulses. When the interval between the pulses in such a sequence is chosen equal to the oscillation period of the expansion mode of a nanoscale system, the relevant acoustic vibrations can be excited in a resonant and selective way. Sequences of femtosecond pulses with picosecond time intervals between the pulses are shown to be ideally suited for a resonant excitation and coherent control of acoustic modes of silver nanoparticles. 相似文献

Through femtosecond (fs) laser pulse irradiation, we produce two-dimensional quasiperiodic arrays of nanostructure-covered conical microstructures (NC-CMs) on Ni. We also find that a significant amount of nickel oxide covers NC-CMs owing to the interaction of fs laser pulses with Ni in ambient air. We show that, by controlling the fluence of laser, the reflectance of the fs laser-treated Ni surface can change dramatically in the infrared but the surface still has a high absorptance at UV and visible wavelengths. Because of this unique spectral reflectance, the fs laser-treated Ni surface is well suited for use as a solar absorber surface. 相似文献

The unique optical properties of nanoparticles are highly sensitive in respect to particle shapes, sizes, and localization on a sample. This demands for a fully controlled fabrication process. The use of femtosecond laser pulses to generate and transfer nanoparticles from a bulk target towards a collector substrate is a promising approach. This process allows a controlled fabrication of spherical nanoparticles with a very smooth surface. Several process parameters can be varied to achieve the desired nanoparticle characteristics. In this paper, the influence of two of these parameters, i.e. the applied pulse energy and the laser beam shape, on the generation of Si nanoparticles from a bulk Si target are studied in detail. By changing the laser intensity distribution on the target surface one can influence the dynamics of molten material inducing its flow to the edges or to the center of the focal spot. Due to this dynamics of molten material, a single femtosecond laser pulse with a Gaussian beam shape generates multiple spherical nanoparticles from a bulk Si target. The statistical properties of this process, with respect to number of generated nanoparticles and laser pulse energy are investigated. We demonstrate for the first time that a ring-shaped intensity distribution on the target surface results in the generation of a single silicon nanoparticle with a controllable size. Furthermore, the generated silicon nanoparticles presented in this paper show strong electric and magnetic dipole resonances in the visible and near-infrared spectral range. Theoretical simulations as well as optical scattering measurements of single silicon nanoparticles are discussed and compared. 相似文献
