Gain width and rise time studies of pulsed unstable optical parametric oscillators

Gain width and rise time of a pulsed singly resonant unstable optical parametric oscillator have been investigated based on theoretical models of parametric gain and threshold in the spherical wave assumption. A simplified analytic expression for the gain width is derived, which has been illustrated to be of adequate accuracy for the theoretical model. It is demonstrated that the theoretical model and analytic expression are applicable to the plane-parallel resonator when some special values are taken. The gain width and rise time are found to be determined by important parameters, such as cavity physical length, cavity magnification factor, reflectance of the output coupler, input pump peak power, and pump pulse width.

4.5-ns Pulse generation at a 500-kHz repetition rate from a short-cavity acoustooptically Q-switched Nd:YVO<Subscript>4</Subscript> laser

In an end-pumped 20-mm-cavity-length acoustooptically Q-switched Nd:YVO₄ laser, 4.5-ns pulses at a 500-kHz repetition rate with a 5-kW peak power are produced. The pulse width is <10 ns at repetition rates lower than 1.1 MHz. The short cavity results in a short roundtrip time of light within the cavity and a high gain with a modest pump power, and both are essential for short-pulse and high-repetition rate operation. The output pulse width versus the pump power and repetition rate is experimentally studied. The output transmission also has a considerable influence on the pulse width and shape, and there exists an optimum transmission for the shortest pulse width and symmetrical pulse shape.

On some properties of the Fabry-Perot etalon with negative permittivities of the medium

Specific features of the Fabry-Perot etalon with negative permittivities of the medium are analyzed. Inhomogeneous waves may exhibit, after passing through such an etalon, a giant amplitude enhancement. They remain inhomogeneous and do not transfer the field energy. Due to absorption and other losses, there may arise, in the inhomogeneous wave, running components and interference effects. The etalon cannot improve the diffraction-limited resolving power of the optical devices detecting traveling waves. The possibilities of application of the etalon in the near-field optics are noted. The giant enhancement of the inhomogeneous wave amplitude occurs due to resonance of the incident wave with eigen (surface) waves of the input and output planes of the etalon. It is shown that, with respect to inhomogeneous waves, the Fabry-Perot etalon with negative permittivities is a narrow-band filter with the peak transmission for the spatial frequency of the Fourier expansion of the boundary values on the order of the inverse wavelength. Under the resonance conditions, the running components, when passing through the etalon, experience aberrational distortions. Polarization properties of the resonance amplification are clarified.     

Transmission of a Gaussian beam after incidenting nonnormally on a Fabry–Perot etalon: a nonresonant case

Under the nonresonant case where the carrier frequency of a Gaussian beam deviates from the resonant frequency of a Fabry–Perot etalon, the transmission of a Gaussian beam after incidenting nonnormally on a Fabry–Perot etalon has been investigated. The results show that under the nonresonant case, variations of the peak intensity, the position of the peak intensity and the spot size of the transmitted beam with the input angle behave differently and even with a reversed tendency compared with those obtained under the resonant case.     

Experimental study on pulse propagation characteristics at normal dispersion region in dispersion flatted fibers

Pulse propagation characteristics at normal-dispersion region in dispersion-flatted-fibers are experimentally investigated by employing the second-harmonic generation frequency-resolved optical gating (SHG-FROG) method. It is found that the experimental results are consistent with the theoretical prediction. The initial optical pulse with negative chirp is compressed for nonlinear effect in the normal-dispersion fiber, and it evolves into near Gaussian pulse. Temporal width of the optical pulse decreases with the increase of the input power and propagation distance. The output pulse width for small dispersion is less than that for great dispersion at the same input power. The spectrum of the output pulse is still symmetrical about the central wavelength, and is broadened with the increase of input power. The spectral width of the output pulse is much wider than the input spectral width.
