Generation of Ultrashort Light Bullets in Dispersive Kerr Media Using the Fourth—Order Dispersion—Dependent Spatiotemporal Instability

A new method for generation of a train of ultrashort pulses or a sequence of ultrashort light bullets is proposed. This method is based on the fourth-order dispersion-dependent spatiotemporal instability in dispersive Kerr media. The repetition-rate of the generated bullets can be made quite large by increasing the corresponding spatial modulation frequency locating in the new instability region resulted from fourth-order dispersion.

宽频带光束非线性热像效应的实验研究

实验研究宽频带脉冲光束通过非线性介质时的非线性热像的形成过程,揭示了光束入射功率和脉冲宽度、介质厚度等因素对热像光强和位置的影响. 结果表明,与单纵模激光束一样,在宽频带脉冲光束情形下,非线性介质上游元件的模糊斑调制也可导致在下游共轭位置形成热像. 热像光强随入射光束功率的增加而增加;若脉冲能量一定,则热像光强随脉冲宽度的增加而减弱;若脉冲峰值功率一定,则热像光强随脉冲宽度的增加而增强. 关键词： 高功率激光 热像 宽带光束 小尺度自聚焦     

宽频带激光自由空间传输的调制特性研究

基于惠更斯-菲涅耳衍射积分公式,研究了宽带光束在菲涅耳衍射区的自由空间传输特性,得到宽带光束传输的调制深度与光束带宽Δλ及菲涅耳数F的变化关系。结果表明:一定的带宽对光束的均匀性有适当的改善;当光束的带宽Δλ<2λ0/F时,带宽越大,光束越均匀;当带宽满足条件Δλ=2λ0/F时,菲涅耳衍射完全消失;在一定的菲涅耳数范围内,宽带光束的调制深度随菲涅耳数振荡变化,振荡曲线的主极大值和次极大值分别出现在菲涅耳数为奇数和偶数处,而极小值则出现在菲涅耳数F=2k±1/3(k=1,2,3,…)处,在极小值处光束的均匀性最好。

Widely tunable dual-pump parametric amplifiers with photonic crystal fibres

This paper theoretically studies the double-pumped fibre-optical parametric amplifiers （FOPAs） in photonic crystal fibres. Two distinct working regimes of FOPAs are researched, which depend on the dispersion at the central wavelength of the two pumps. Extremely broad tuning range can be obtained when the central pump wavelength is in the normal dispersion regime and is insensitive to the wavelength separation between the two pumps, while the tuning range is narrow in the anomalous dispersion regime and can be significantly enhanced by increasing the wavelength separation. Impacts of higher-order dispersions and temporal walk-off on the gain spectra are also discussed.     

A theoretical study about the chirped pulse amplification laser

Starting from the Maxwell‘s equation,and using the resonant-dipole equation together with the multilevel rate equations which take the effects of energy relaxation into consideration,we have derived a more realistic numerical model of the chirped pulse amplification for an ultra-broad band width laser amplifier.Numerical simulations of this model show that both the intensity profile and the energy fluence of the amplified chirped pulse are closely connected with the two relaxation effects:the relaxation of the thermalization among the components of the laser multiplets and the depletion of the lower laser level.The results are valuable for the design of ultra-broad bandwidth chirped pulse amplification lasers.     

超短脉冲在光子晶体中传播时的色散参量

利用最小二乘拟合法分析了光子晶体的能带结构,定量分析了二维光子晶体的色散参量.为了考虑脉冲各频率的作用,通过引入与频率分量相关的权重因子,从而解析了群速度和平均群速度色散,进而解析出脉冲波络渐变的理论结果.通过FDTD数值模拟后,发现数值模拟结果与理论解析结果完全相吻合.本文处理光子晶体的色散参量的方法,为制作光子晶体色散器件如光子晶体色散补偿器、脉冲展宽和压缩器有一定的借鉴作用.     

A Phase-Controlled Optical Parametric Amplifier Pumped by Two Phase-Distorted Laser Beams

We theoretically study the phase characteristic of optical parametric amplification （OPA） or chirped pulse OPA （OPCPA） pumped by two phase-distorted laser beams. In the two-beam-pumped optical parametric amplification （TBOPA）, due to spatial walk-off, both of the pump phase distortions will be partly transferred to signal in a single crystal so as to degrade the signal beam-quality, which will be more serious in high-energy OPCPA. An OPA configuration with a walkoff-compensated crystal pair is demonstrated for reducing the signal phase distortion experienced in the first stage and ensuring the signal phase independent of two pump phase distortions through the second crystal, hence maintaining the signal beam-quality. Such a TBOPA is similar to the conventional quantum laser amplifier by means of eliminating its sensitivity to the phase and number of the pump beams.
