Numerical analysis of the output power of the injection-locked cw Ti:sapphire lasers

The optimization analysis of the output power of the injection-locked cw Ti:sapphire lasers is presented based on the fact that the injection-locked and free-running lasers almost have the same maximum output power. With the modified Ti:sapphire laser model, the dependences of the threshold and slope efficiency on the ring cavity and crystal parameters are studied through the numerical calculations, which clarify the roles of various parameters in affecting the output power. Our calculated results are in good agreement with the reported experimental data for the laser at 756 nm. Therefore our numerically calculated results could be used as a guideline for designing and optimizing such kind of the lasers.     

Mid-infrared radiation transmission through fluoride glass multimode optical fibers

Measurement of the transmission laser radiation from Q-switched and free-running Er:YAG lasers operating at 2.94 μm through fluoride glass multimode optical fibers of 448, 465 and 620 μm core diameter were performed. Attenuation measurements were obtained as a function of the laser energy input, of the bending angle and of the radius of curvature. The fibers exhibited low attenuation under straight and bent conditions. The output beam quality was also studied using the appropriate beam profiler. The output beam profiles showed a central multi-spiked energy distribution.     

A detailed study through the focal region of near-threshold single-shot femtosecond laser ablation nano-holes in borosilicate glass

A detailed study of the morphology of nano-craters drilled in borosilicate glass by single shot femtosecond laser ablation near the ablation threshold has been performed by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy imaging after focused ion beam sectioning. The influence of the numerical aperture (NA = 0.4 and 0.8), the pulse energy (16 nJ < E_p < 600 nJ) and the position of the specimen surface into the focal region were systematically investigated, leading to nanometric or micrometric scales in every spatial dimension. The nanocrater’s size is not restricted by the diffraction limit but determined by the laser pulse stability and the material properties. If the beam is focused inside the glass, two craters are drilled, shaping very distinct morphologies. Their dimensions have been studied in details and different relationships have been proposed for the evolutions of the depths and of the various diameters of these craters as functions of the pulse energy, the numerical aperture and the position of specimen surface in the beam-material interaction region. It is suggested that the long, thin conical profile with very high aspect ratio of the secondary craters is due to a spontaneous reshaping of the beam which transforms the incoming Gaussian pulse into a Gaussian-Bessel pulse. As proposed in the developed model the geometry of the second craters seems to be connected with the one of the main craters.     

Calibration of a multiple axes 3-D laser scanning system consisting of robot, portable laser scanner and turntable

A multiple axes 3-D laser scanning system consisting of a portable 3-D laser scanner, a industrial robot and a turntable is demonstrated. By using a criterion sphere, a robot tool center point (TCP) calibration approach is proposed to calibrate the relation between the laser 3-D scanner and the robot end-effector. In this approach, two different translational motions of robot are first made to determine the rotation part, and then at least three different rotational motions are made to determine the translation part. Meanwhile, by using the criterion sphere, a turntable approach is proposed to calibrate the pose of the turntable relative to the robot. In this approach, several rotational angles of turntable and two different heights of the sphere are made to determine the rotational axis of turntable. Experiment is performed on a portable laser scanner mounted on an industrial robot ABB IRB4400 with a turntable. The experiment results show that the two proposed calibration algorithms are stable and flexible. The application of 3-D measurement is also given to demonstrate the effectiveness and stability of the multiple axes 3-D laser scanning system.
