光参量啁啾脉冲饱和放大的增益稳定性

 光参量啁啾脉冲放大（OPCPA）在饱和放大区存在一个增益稳定点，据此设计了一个输出稳定的三级OPCPA系统；第一、二、三级分别选用准相位匹配的周期极化钛氧磷酸钾（PPKTP）晶体、LBO晶体和KDP晶体作为增益介质。饱和放大时，增益随泵浦光强度变化时的增益输出稳定性明显改善，在泵浦光强度抖动低于6%的情况下，各级光参量放大器OPA输出的增益抖动小于1%。前级采用准相位匹配的PPKTP晶体作为增益介质，在远低于破坏阈值的30MW/cm²的泵浦功率密度下，可得到2×10⁵的饱和放大增益和20%的能量转换效率。     

介质靶表面的充电效应对等离子体浸没离子注入过程中鞘层特性的影响

针对等离子体浸没离子注入技术在绝缘体表面制备硅薄膜工艺，采用一维脉冲鞘层模型描述介质靶表面的充电效应对鞘层厚度、注入剂量及靶表面电位等物理量的影响.数值模拟结果表明：随着等离子体密度的增高，表面的充电效应将导致鞘层厚度变薄、表面电位下降以及注入剂量增加，而介质的厚度对鞘层特性的影响则相对较小. 关键词： 等离子体浸没离子注入 脉冲鞘层 绝缘介质 充电效应     

超短脉冲超强激光与固体靶相互作用中高能离子的产生

 用2D3V PIC粒子模拟方法得到了超短脉冲超强激光与固体靶相互作用中高能离子产生的图像，并对其机理进行了研究。在靶前后表面都观察到了高能离子的产生，并诊断了离子能谱。模拟结果表明，在靶前表面所产生的高能离子，角分布较大，在向靶内输运过程中会损失能量；在靶后表面产生的高能离子，定向性很好，能获得很高的能量。模拟得到的离子能量和实验观测结果在量级上相符。

Picosecond control of coherent magnetisation dynamics in permalloy thin films by picosecond magnetic field pulse shaping

We have measured the response of a 20×10 μm, 8 nm thin NiFe (80:20) permalloy film due to excitation by short in-plane magnetic field pulses. We will show that using a two-pulse-technique a complete control of the precessional motion of the magnetisation can be achieved on picosecond timescales. Furthermore, we will present numerical calculations which show that a complete suppression of magnetisation ringing after switching can only be realised by a cascade of short field pulses.

Property improvement of pulsed laser deposited boron carbide films by pulse shortening

Growth characteristics and surface morphology of boron carbide films fabricated by ablating a B₄C target in high vacuum with a traditional KrF excimer laser and a high brightness hybrid dye/excimer laser system emitting at the same wavelength while delivering 700 fs pulses are compared. The ultrashort pulse processing is highly effective. Energy densities between 0.25 and 2 J cm⁻² result in apparent growth rates ranging from 0.017 to 0.085 nm/pulse. Ablation with nanosecond pulses of one order of magnitude higher energy densities yields smaller growth rates, the figures increase from 0.002 to 0.016 nm/pulse within the 2-14.3 J cm⁻² fluence window. 2D thickness maps derived from variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry reveal that, when ablating with sub-ps pulses, the spot size rather than the energy density determines both the deposition rate and the angular distribution of film material. Pulse shortening leads to significant improvement in surface morphology, as well. While droplets with number densities ranging from 1 × 10⁴ to 7 × 10⁴ mm⁻² deteriorate the surface of the films deposited by the KrF excimer laser, sub-ps pulses produce practically droplet-free films. The absence of droplets has also a beneficial effect on the stoichiometry and homogeneity of the films fabricated by ultrashort pulses.     

Optical Glucose Monitoring Based on Femtosecond Two-Color Pulse Interferometry

We demonstrate the potential of femtosecond two-color pulse interferometry for in vitro optical glucose monitoring, by dispersion of the group refractive index in a glucose solution sample with respect to a red-color light and a blue-color light. By comparison with femtosecond one-color pulse interferometry, the basic performance of the present system with regard to sensitivity, quantitativeness, and tolerance to surrounding disturbances, is evaluated. The resulting accuracy and precision of glucose determination are 77 and 118mg/dl for 10-mm-sample-thickness, respectively. This near-common-path configuration of the two-color pulse light provides good stability to fluctuations of sample temperature, which is important in clinical applications. Considering the performance of femtosecond two-color pulse interferometry as an optical glucose sensor, a suitable measurement site for in vivo optical glucose monitoring is discussed.
