Zirconium-doped hybrid films patterned by soft lithography for distributed-feedback lasers

Zirconium (Zr)-doped hybrid films containing Rhodamine 6G (Rh6G) were prepared by spin-coating on glass substrates with different Zr–Si molar ratio. Second-order distributed-feedback (DFB) resonators with large surface-relief modulation depth over 160 nm could be fabricated by soft lithographic technique using a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) replica. Optically pumped by a pulsed frequency-doubled Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, the emission wavelength of the DFB-lasers can be tuned over 16 nm by changing the grating period. With the optimization of the Zr–Si molar ratio, low laser threshold of 3 μJ/mm² was obtained.     

Strain-induced polarization rotation in epitaxial (001) BiFeO3 thin films

Direct measurement of the remanent polarization of high quality (001)-oriented epitaxial BiFeO3 thin films shows a strong strain dependence, even larger than conventional (001)-oriented PbTiO3 films. Thermodynamic analysis reveals that a strain-induced polarization rotation mechanism is responsible for the large change in the out-of-plane polarization of (001) BiFeO3 with biaxial strain while the spontaneous polarization itself remains almost constant.

Dark pulse generation in a dispersion-managed fiber laser

We report an experimental observation of dark pulse generation in a dispersion-managed erbium-doped fiber laser with net anomalous cavity group-velocity dispersion. It is found that apart from the bright soliton pulses, dark pulses with spectral sidebands could be obtained in the laser under appropriate operating conditions. The generation of dark pulses may be attributed to soliton shaping in the cavity.     

Fabrication of aligned single wall carbon nanotube absorbers for high power passive mode-locked Nd:GdVO<Subscript>4</Subscript> laser

Using the vertical evaporation technique we fabricated saturable absorbers by transferring the water-soluble single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) onto a hydrophilic quartz substrate. The fast recovery times of the absorber were measured to be 136 and 790 fs. The modulation depth of the absorber was about 2%. Passive mode-locked Nd:GdVO₄ laser using such an absorber was demonstrated. The continuous wave mode-locked pulses with the pulse duration of 12.4 ps and the repetition of 120 MHz were achieved. The maximum average output power of the mode-locked laser is 2.4 W at the pump power of 13 W. Such kind of absorber has potential to be put into practical use for high power solid-state laser mode locking.
