We report what is to our knowledge the first operation of a planar dielectric tapered-waveguide laser. The waveguide laser is fabricated by potassium-ion exchange in Nd(3+) -doped BK7 glass and consists of a single-mode channel waveguide of a few micrometers' width followed by a linear taper up to a broad region with a width of ~180microm . A slope efficiency of 42% is found both in the tapers and in standard channel waveguides fabricated upon the same substrate, indicating that the tapers and the channels have similar internal losses; hence the low-loss nature of the tapered beam expansion. The output from either end of the tapered structure is found to be nearly diffraction limited. 相似文献

The top-hat beam clad-pumped Tm3+-doped fiber laser was realized simply using an intracavity multi-mode abrupt taper. The ratio of the flat-top diameter to
the spot diameter reaches 53%, with a small intensity variation less than 6%, and the top-hat beam’s half-divergence angle
is only 5.3°. The fiber laser has a maximal output power of 5 W with slope efficiency of 39.7%, pumped by the 792 nm diode
laser (LD). The abrupt taper is directly made on the multi-mode double-clad Tm3+-doped fiber near the fiber laser output end with the 0.45 ratio of taper waist diameter to fiber clad diameter, and this
fiber end 4% Fresnel reflection is used to be the output coupler. The fiber laser’s high reflective coupler is an intracore
multi-mode FBG, which is directly written into the multi-mode Tm3+-doped fiber core using femtosecond laser and phase mask, at the other fiber end. The abrupt taper has no obviously influence
on the fiber laser output power, and the output laser spectrum. 相似文献

A small rectangular laser spot has been widely studied for laser processing and laser repair technology. It is usually made by converging the input beam with the lens. Faithful reproduction of the laser spot is dependent on NA of the imaging lens. The small rectangular spot can be obtained by high NA lens, which is limited by many factors, such as high energy loss due to the reflection on the surface, large mass and volume, and strong sensitivity to aberrations and misalignment. On the other hand, the beam cannot be faithfully reproduced because of the diffraction with the low NA lens which has no such the limitations. One of the alternative ways to produce small rectangular profiles by using the low NA lens system is to estimate the input beam profile leading to the output profile of the sharp rectangular shape. 相似文献

An octave spanning spectrum is generated in an As?S? taper via 77 pJ pulses from an ultrafast fiber laser. Using a previously developed tapering method, we construct a 1.3 μm taper that has a zero-dispersion wavelength around 1.4 μm. The low two-photon absorption of sulfide-based chalcogenide fiber allows for higher input powers than previous efforts in selenium-based chalcogenide tapered fibers. This higher power handling capability combined with input pulse chirp compensation allows an octave spanning spectrum to be generated directly from the taper using the unamplified laser output. 相似文献

We have fabricated a refractive-index-tapered waveguide by exposing an azo polymer film to a 532-nm wavelength laser beam focused to about 60-μm spot size at the film with no surface deformation. The converging ability of the taper (ability to increase intensity along the taper) was measured to be 5 db/cm while the loss was 0.39 db/cm. According to the data obtained, the power density increases along the taper while loss is nearly constant along the tapered and non-tapered segments. 相似文献

A laser system containing four CW Nd:YAG double-rod lasers, transforming optics and a fibre with input-output optics has been designed and investigated. It is shown that reduction of the beam parameter product of the non-Gaussian beams in the image space of the lens has made it possible to collect the emission of four lasers to the same fibre. Independent laser operation has provided the output power control in the range of 10–900 W with a stable light spot size on the input end of the fibre. 相似文献

提出采用直锥形光纤作为大气激光通信的发射天线,将多模光纤输出的部分相干发散光束变换为准平行光束的方案,既能得到发散角很小的部分相干激光光束,又能保证激光器输出能量的完全传输。采用光线追迹法分析了任意光束从锥形光纤小端面输入、大端面输出的发散角。结果表明,当直锥形光纤长度大于某一特定值时,从小端面输入的入射角小于数值孔径角的所有光线理论上都可以变换为出射角度小于光纤半锥角的光线,因此直锥形光纤可以作为部分相干光源的准直透镜,代替传统的凸透镜,用于改善光束的发散角。对远场光斑进行了数值模拟和实验研究,结果显示:直锥形光纤透镜对朗伯光源的准直光束比传统凸透镜的准直光束发散角小,光斑半径小且均匀性好,证明用此方法可以得到低发散、低空间相干性的光斑。 相似文献

An open hollow cone that can optically guide and focus a laser light into a small beam spot is proposed. The shaping and focusing effects are numerically demonstrated by finite-difference time-domain simulations. The results reveal that the cone-focused laser originates from the multi-beam interference and squeeze of two cone side walls acting like oblique targets. Moreover, the influences of oblique incident angle of laser light, cone angle and cone tip size on the focusing properties are discussed and the optimum cone geometry with cone angle of 16° and tip size of 4.5 wavelengths to achieve high energy concentration at the cone tip is also presented. It is shown that with an open hollow cone a laser light can be focused into a tiny highly localized beam spot of 1 µm diameter and keeps propagating forward for a distance of about 8 wavelengths with a tiny spot diameter remaining almost unchanged. The intensity almost increases up to twentyfold in a 1 µm focal spot. 相似文献

Spectral superbroadening of subnanojoule femtosecond Cr:forsterite laser pulses is demonstrated for the first time in experiments with a tapered fiber. Coupling 40-fs 0.6-nJ pulses of 1.25-μm Cr:forsterite laser radiation into a tapered fiber with a taper waist diameter of about 2 μm and a taper waist length of 90 mm, we observed the spectra spanning more than two octaves at the output of the fiber. These experimental results open new horizons for the creation of compact femtosecond systems based on Cr:forsterite lasers and tapered fibers for optical metrology and biomedical applications. 相似文献

A method to measure the detailed performance of polycapillary x-ray optics by a pinhole and charge coupled device (CCD) detector was proposed in this study. The pinhole was located between the x-ray source and the polycapillary x-ray optics to determine the illuminating region of the incident x-ray beam on the input side of the optics. The CCD detector placed downstream of the polycapillary x-ray optics ensured that the incident x-ray beam controlled by the pinhole irradiated a specific region of the input surface of the optics. The intensity of the output beam of the polycapillary x-ray optics was obtained from the far-field image of the output beam of the optics captured by CCD detector. As an application example, the focal spot size, gain in power density, transmission efficiency, and beam divergence of different parts of a polycapillary focusing x-ray lenses (PFXRL) were measured by a pinhole and CCD detector. Three pinholes with diameters of 500, 1000, and 2000 μm were used to adjust the diameter of the incident x-ray beam illuminating the PFXRL from 500 μm to the entire surface of the input side of the PFXRL. The focal spot size of the PFXRL, gain in power density, transmission efficiency, and beam divergence ranged from 27.1 μm to 34.6 μm, 400 to 3460, 26.70% to 5.38%, and 16.8 mrad to 84.86 mrad, respectively. 相似文献

Efficiencies improvement of LD (laser diode) pumped multimode large mode area (LMA) Tm3+ doped double cladding silica fiber lasers with different in-line biconial tapers were reported. Two types of multimode Tm3+ doped fiber were used in this experiment. Each type of fiber was made into three fiber lasers, a uniform geometry fiber laser and two tapered fiber lasers with different taper parameters. Biconical tapers located several centimeters from the output end of the multimode fiber lasers were made by heating and stretching method. Although the threshold of the best tapered fiber laser was added 200 mW, the slope efficiency (25.3%) and the maximum output power (1.31 W) of the fiber laser increased by 10.3% and 350 mW respectively, in comparison with the un-tapered one. Pre and post output laser power ratio was 6.3–15.6. Simultaneously, the laser spectrum moved to shorter wavelengths. The same trends of these characteristics were also observed in the other three tapered fiber lasers. 相似文献

A low-cost, easy producing and novel beam shaping system for concentration and homogenization of a high power laser diode bar (LDB) beam is demonstrated by experiment and simulation. It consists of a silica-taper array (beam shaper) and a silica-taper (beam integrator) which are fabricated by using chemical etching technique. By using this device, the output beam of LDB is reshaped to a small spot with uniform intensity and angular distributions, and could be coupled into a 200 ??m silica fiber. 相似文献

Spectral broadening of femtosecond Cr:forsterite laser pulses is enhanced due to the use of tapered fibers. Supercontinuum
generation with unamplified subnanojoule femtosecond Cr:forsterite laser pulses is observed for the first time. With 40-fs
0.6-nJ pulses of 1.25-μm Cr:forsterite laser radiation coupled into a tapered fiber having a taper waist diameter of about
2 μm and a taper waist length of 90 mm, we observed the spectra spanning more than two octaves at the output of the fiber
in the regime of anomalous group-velocity dispersion. This result opens the way for the creation of compact femtosecond Cr:forsterite
laser plus tapered fiber systems for optical metrology and biomedical applications.

Transformation and inverse transformation between a free-space linearly polarized beam and the vectorial vortex mode of a circular hollow waveguide by use of Pancharatnam-Berry phase optical elements is proposed. Demonstration was achieved by fabricating GaAs subwavelength gratings and utilizing a 300 microm diameter hollow metallic waveguide for 10.6 microm wavelength CO(2) laser radiation. The mode transformations and the excitation of a single vectorial mode inside the hollow waveguide were verified by full polarization measurements. In addition, the inverse mode transformation of the single vectorial mode excitation in the waveguide enabled us to experimentally obtain a linearly polarized bright spot with a high central lobe. 相似文献
