辅助光斑对10μm半径级小尺度自聚引发谐波辐射的作用

本文的最新实验表明,单个10μm半径级的激光斑在预形成的激光等离子体中不能有效激励90°侧向3ω₀/2谐波发射。但配合同样尺寸的辅助光斑,在满足一定位置和角度条件下却容易引发这种发射。使用双等离振子衰变理论,结合动态自聚细丝模型分析了这一现象的起因。

Single Mode Er-Doped π-Phase-Shifted Distributed Feedback Fibre Grating Laser

A novel method incorporating the shielded method and the post-processing method has been proposed to fabricate the π-phase-shifted fibre grating. Then an Er-doped π-phase-shifted distributed feedback fibre grating laser has been fabricated using the grating. The laser threshold is 20mW. When pumped with 90mW light at 980nm, the laser gives an output of 1.1mW. Its signal-to-noise ratio is better than 60dB. It is demonstrated that the laser is single mode operation by means of a Fabry--Perot scanning interferometer.     

Analysis on FM-to-AM conversion induced by spatial filter in a high-power laser system

In order to avoid stimulated Brillouin scattering and smooth the final focal spot that reaches the D-T capsule, spectral broadening is essential. However, the modulation of spectral structure might result in frequency-to-amplitude modulation (FM-to-AM) conversion. The spatial filter pinhole is used to cut off the high-frequency transmission laser, and to ensure the desired pass. Improper parameter of pinhole would lead a negative impact. Using the spatial filter pinhole, we analyze the characteristic of intensity modulation using several pinholes of improper parameters. We then compare these results with the intensity modulation obtained from an experiment. Experimental diagnosis and design of an appropriate pinhole parameter would be highly beneficial to the field of high-power lasers.

为满足高功率激光装置对终端光学系统的改进要求,控制3ω光路透射元件厚度以降低激光损伤风险,避免3ω非对称聚焦与色分离元件对靶场调靶产生不利影响,本文利用非共线相位匹配原理讨论了KDP晶体Ⅰ类和Ⅱ类两种和频产生351 nm(3ω)激光及其远场色分离过程.模拟结果表明,室温20?C环境中除目前常用的共线和频外,1053 nm(ω)与526.5 nm(2ω)激光可选择Ⅰ类或Ⅱ类两种非共线和频方式实现高效3ω激光输出并在激光远场实现色分离,且具有足够的高效转换失谐角容宽.计算表明,与Ⅰ类和频类似,Ⅱ类和频也存在一个非临界相位匹配过程,其匹配方向约为θ(3ω)=86.53?.可通过增加晶体厚度克服其有效非线性系数较低的缺点,实现3ω高效输出,失谐角容宽可达±20 mrad.为满足靶场需要,解决非共线角容宽苛刻带来的调节不便,并进一步使光路紧凑,将楔角为12?的熔石英楔板置于倍频晶体之后,ω与2ω激光在熔石英楔板后表面可产生约3.5 mrad分离角.经非共线和频,使用薄透镜即可实现聚焦及色分离.该方案完全满足终端光学系统的改进要求,可作为可靠的备选方案之一.     

Phase mismatching analysis of third-harmonic generation in BBO crystal

<正>Phase mismatching for third-harmonic generation(THG) in barium metaborate(BBO) crystal is investigated in detail.Upon using BBO crystal in the TypeⅠ(oo→e) scheme,in the two independent planes (principal section of the crystal and the plane normal to principal section),when the input second-harmonic beam deviates from the expected direction,phase mismatching occurs and the angle deviation produces different effects on the conversion efficiency.We numerically simulate these two cases of phase mismatching and identify the relation between the conversion efficiency and the deviation angle in the air.The computational results indicate that the phase matching tolerance in the principal section is 0.2°(in the air),while the phase matching tolerance in the plane normal to principal section is 4.5°(in the air).After conducting a lab experiment,the results agree perfectly with the computational results,indicating that the deviation angle in the principal section has a greater effect on the conversion efficiency.

Optimization of Pulse Temporal Contrast in Optical Parametric Chirped Pulse Amplification

In optical parametric chirped pulse amplification （OPCPA）, the degradation of temporal contrast of the compressed signal pulse mainly results from spectral clipping in the grating stretcher with finite size of the optics, parametric fluorescence （PF） and the spectral variations transferred from temporal fluctuation of the pump pulse. The temporal contrast of the recompressed amplified pulse in the OPCPA system is studied numerically and a number of solutions are considered and optimized to achieve the highest temporal contrast.
