High index of refraction via quantum interference in a three-level system of Er^3＋-doped yttrium aluminium garnet crystal

A simple three-level system is proposed to produce high index of refraction with zero absorption in an Er^3＋-doped yttrium aluminium garnet （YAG） crystal, which is achieved for a probe field between the excited state 4I13/2 and ground state 4I15/2 by adjusting a strong coherent driving field between the upper excited state 4I11/2 and 4I15/2. It is found that the changes of the frequency of the coherent driving field and the concentration of Er^3＋ ions in the YAG crystal can maximize the index of refraction accompanied by vanishing absorption. This result could be useful for the dispersion compensation in fibre communication, laser particle acceleration, high precision magnetometry and so on.     

Diode-Pumped Self-Q-Switched Cr,Nd：YAG Laser with High Average Output Power

A diode end-pumped self-Q-switched Cr,Nd:YAG laser was established with pulse duration in the range of 8-10ns. The maximum average output power was 4.4 W and the slope efficiency was 27% using an output coupler of R=70%. At pumping power of 17.4 W the laser produces high-quality pulses at 1064 nm in a TEMoo-mode.     

Antiphase State in Passively Q-Switched Yb：YAG Microchip Lasers with a Nd,Cr：YAG as Saturable Absorber

We experimentally investigate the antiphase dynamics phenomenon that occurs in a diode-pumped passively Q-switched Yb:YAG multimode laser with a Nd,Cr:YAG saturable absorber. Due to the effect of spatial hole burning, the multimode lasers with one, two, or three modes at different pump power are observed, and the pulses sequences display classic antiphase dynamics.

有磁和无磁状态下YIG和YAG晶体高压下的声速和衰减

 YAG晶体是一种无磁石榴石,YIG晶体是铁磁石石榴石。通过对YAG和YIG晶体在高压加磁场和不加磁场条件下,研究铁磁石榴石和无磁石榴石晶体的超声行为。采用“回波重合法”测量声速,通过比较回波的幅度进行衰减的测量。我们发现,不存在磁场时,有磁石榴石和无磁石榴石在高压条件下声速和声衰减有类似的变化行为。我们也发现,无论有无高压,在YAG晶体中不存在磁声相互作用,而在YIG晶体中,则存在磁声相互作用。

水溶液法原位构建ZnO亲锂层稳定锂-石榴石电解质界面

固态电池以其高安全性和高能量密度而备受关注。石榴石型固体电解质(LLZO)由于具有较高的离子导电性和对锂金属的稳定性,在固态电池中具有应用前景,但陶瓷与锂金属较差的界面接触会导致高的界面阻抗和可能形成的枝晶穿透。我们利用LLZO表层独特的H⁺/Li⁺交换反应,提出了一种简便有效的金属盐类水溶液诱发策略,在电解质表面原位构建ZnO亲锂层,界面处LiZn合金化实现紧密连续的接触。引入改性层后,界面阻抗可显著降低至约10Ω·cm²,对称电池能够在0.1mA·cm^-2的电流密度下实现长达1000h的长循环稳定性。匹配正极LiFePO₄(LFP)或LiNi_0.5Co_0.2Mn_0.3O₂(NCM523)的准固态电池在室温下能够稳定循环100次以上。

We report a high-power thin Nd：YAG slab laser with slab dimension of 1 × 10 ×60 （mm） partially edgepumped by diode laser arrays. Passive Q-switching is achieved with a Cr^4＋ ：YAG microchip adopted as the saturable absorber mirror. The pulse duration is around 10 ns while the pulse repetition rate is higher than 10 kHz. The average output power of 70 W is obtained with a slope efficiency of 36%. The diffraction limited beam quality in the thickness direction is obtained by controlling the pump beam diameter inside the slab. The laser head is very compact with size of only 60 × 74×150 （mm）.
