High-energy picosecond single-pass multi-stage optical parametric generator and amplifier

We demonstrate a new management of multi-stage optical parametric generator(OPG)and amplifier(OPA)to obtain high-energy picosecond sources with high beam quality.The setup of multi-stage OPG-OPA requires mode-matching between the pump beam and the stable mode of the OPG-OPA.In a proof-of-principle experiment,the single-pass multi-stage OPG-OPA consists of three walk-off compensated KTP crystal pairs and two lenses,pumped by an 86 ps,1064 nm 10 kHz picosecond laser.The signal light at~1.77μm has an average output power of 502 mW with record energy up to 50.2μJ.The beam quality factor of the signal light can be improved toM²_x ×M²_yafter filtering out about 40%signal power.To the best of our knowledge,it is the first picosecond single-pass multi-stage OPG-OPA pumped at kHz regime.

本文对不同冷却温度下的Yb∶YAG晶体板条激光模块高功率运转时的温度场、应力场及对应的热畸变进行了仿真分析研究。结果显示,随着冷却温度从300K降低至77K,板条的温度梯度热应力与应变都明显降低。当冷却温度为77 K时,最大主应力为414 MPa,仅为常温时的156,最大主应变为382×10-5,仅为常温时的6。为了分析Yb∶YAG晶体板条激光模块不同冷却温度下输出激光的光束质量,以确定其最佳运转温度,我们采用光线追迹的方法,对单程通过板条的1030nm探测光进行仿真。可以看到,当冷却温度为77 K时,远场光斑能量更为集中,且探测光光程差的PV值为07941μm,仅为300K时的596。模拟结果表明低温运转有利于Yb∶YAG晶体板条激光模块产生高功率高光束质量激光输出,这为高功率高光束质量Yb∶YAG晶体板条激光的设计工作奠定了基础。

We report the dark blue nonlinearˇCerenkov radiation by the second harmonic generation(SHG)in a two-layer-stacked hexagonal periodically-poled-MgO:LiNbO3s(PPMgOLNs).Based on the direct wafer bonding of two target PPMgOLNs rotating around the axis perpendicular to the plane with an angle of 30°,twelve bright spots as twice of those in a single PPMgOLN are shown at each second-harmonicˇCerenkov ring.The experimental results agree with the theoretical ones and present a promising application in the fabrication of three-dimensional(3D)PPMgOLNs.
