Sixth harmonic generation of 1064-nm laser in KBBF prism coupling devices under two kinds of gas conditions

The conversion efficiency on the sixth harmonic of 1064 nm in KBe2BO3F2 （KBBF） at different gas pressures in two kinds of gases, helium and nitrogen, is measured and compared. In the both gases, maximum conversion efficiency on the sixth harmonic of 1064 nm in high vacuum is nearly 10% of 355 nm, which is almost four times higher than that in low vacuum. The maximum average output power at 177.3 nm is 670 ttW with the repetition rate of 10 Hz and the duration of 20 ps in high vacuum. It indicates that the sixth harmonic generation in high vacuum is more preferable than that in low vacuum.     

Highly efficient diode-pumped seven-rod resonator with a 3.79-kW output

Thermally stable region of a seven-rod resonator is theoretically investigated. A plane-plane symmetric resonator, where the distance between two neighbor rods is two times of that between the rods and the mirrors, is adopted because of its large stable range. Based on the investigation, a seven-rod resonator with an average output power of 3.79 kW and an optical-to-optical efficiency of 53% is developed.     

Detailed electronic structure of three-dimensional Fermi surface and its sensitivity to charge density wave transition in ZrTe_3 revealed by high resolution laser-based angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy

The detailed information of the electronic structure is the key to understanding the nature of charge density wave(CDW) order and its relationship with superconducting order in the microscopic level. In this paper, we present a high resolution laser-based angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy(ARPES) study on the three-dimensional(3 D) hole-like Fermi surface around the Brillouin zone center in a prototypical quasi-one-dimensional CDW and superconducting system ZrTe_3. Double Fermi surface sheets are clearly resolved for the 3 D hole-like Fermi surface around the zone center. The3 D Fermi surface shows a pronounced shrinking with increasing temperature. In particular, the quasiparticle scattering rate along the 3 D Fermi surface experiences an anomaly near the charge density wave transition temperature of ZrTe_3(～ 63 K). The signature of electron–phonon coupling is observed with a dispersion kink at ～ 20 me V; the strength of the electron–phonon coupling around the 3 D Fermi surface is rather weak. These results indicate that the 3 D Fermi surface is also closely connected to the charge-density-wave transition and suggest a more global impact on the entire electronic structure induced by the CDW phase transition in ZrTe_3.     

Low-Threshold Mid-Infrared Optical Parametric Oscillator Using Periodically Poled LiNbO33

We report the generation of tunable mid-infrared optical pulses using all-solid-state pumped optical parametri coscillator in a periodically poled lithium niobate. Several ways were used to lower the threshold, resulting in a mean threshold as low as 6.5mW and an achievement of wavelength conversion in the 2.77-4.04μm spectral range. Continuous tuning range from 2.97 to 3.25μm was achieved. The maximum idler output power of 466mW at the wavelength of 3.41μm was obtained, which represents an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 19% from incident pump power to the idler output.     

Mid-infrared generation based on a periodically poled LiNbO3 optical parametric oscillator

We report a nanosecond Nd:YVO_4-pumped optical parametric oscillator (OPO) based on periodically poled LiNbO_3 (PPLN). Tuning is achieved in this experiment by varying the temperature and period of the PPLN. The design of double-pass singly resonant oscillator (DSRO) and confocal cavity enables the OPO threshold to be lowered considerably, resulting in a simple, compact, all-solid-state configuration with the mid-infrared idler powers of up to 466mW at 3.41μm.     

初始啁啾对飞秒脉冲在光子晶体光纤中超连续谱产生的影响

采用分步傅里叶方法模拟了初始啁啾对光子晶体光纤中超连续谱产生的影响.根据光纤长度，将光子晶体光纤中脉冲的演化分成初始展宽、剧烈展宽和饱和展宽三个阶段.通过讨论啁啾脉冲和无初始啁啾脉冲在各阶段演化的区别，发现啁啾只在初始展宽和剧烈展宽阶段对光谱有影响，当β₂C<0时啁啾有利于光谱的展宽，当β₂C>0时则刚好相反，在饱和展宽阶段啁啾不再对光谱产生影响.要想利用啁啾脉冲来获得较宽的光谱，必须选择合适的光纤长度，使输出的脉冲处于剧烈展宽阶段.这为利用啁啾脉冲在光子晶体光 关键词： 超连续谱 光子晶体光纤 分步傅里叶法 啁啾

Temperature Evolution of Energy Gap and Band Structure in the Superconducting and Pseudogap States of Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_(8+δ) Superconductor Revealed by Laser-Based Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy

We carry out detailed momentum-dependent and temperature-dependent measurements on Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_(8+δ)(Bi2212) superconductor in the superconducting and pseudogap states by super-high resolution laser-based angleresolved photoemission spectroscopy. The precise determination of the superconducting gap for the nearly optimally doped Bi2212(T_c= 91 K) at low temperature indicates that the momentum-dependence of the superconducting gap deviates from the standard d-wave form(cos(2Φ)). It can be alternatively fitted by including a high-order term(cos(6Φ)) in which the next nearest-neighbor interaction is considered. We find that the band structure near the antinodal region smoothly evolves across the pseudogap temperature without a signature of band reorganization which is distinct from that found in Bi_2Sr_2CuO_(6+δ) superconductors. This indicates that the band reorganization across the pseudogap temperature is not a universal behavior in cuprate superconductors.These results provide new insights in understanding the nature of the superconducting gap and pseudogap in high-temperature cuprate superconductors.
