Ultrabroadband SCG with quasi-continuous wave nanosecond-long pump pulses in PCF

An ultrabroadband supercontinuum (SC) is demonstrated in a pure silica photonic crystal fiber (PCF) pumped by quasi-continuous wave nanosecond-long pulses at 1,064 nm. The generated SC spectra extending from 450 to at least 2,400 nm have the salient feature of a short wavelength regime below the pump wavelength, which is much higher in intensity than the long-wavelength over the pump wavelength. The influence of pump power and repetition rates on SC generation (SCG) is explored. Results suggest that this pump source has both the advantages of short-pulse and continuous-wave pumps for SCG.     

窄线宽线形腔调Q双包层掺钕光纤激光器

对LD泵浦调Q双包层掺Nd³⁺光纤激光器进行了实验研究.在Littrow结构的体光栅与二向色镜构成的线形腔结构中,利用声光Q开关(AQM)调Q,在1064nm得到了光谱线宽约为0.08nm稳定的激光脉冲序列.脉冲重复频率从1kHz到10kHz可调.在重复频率1kHz时得到脉冲宽度约800ns,最大单脉冲能量180μJ,脉冲峰值功率225W,激光平均功率180mW,并对激光输出脉冲能量进行了计算,计算结果与实验符合很好.
