氧化光栅型垂直腔面发射激光器的研究

通过分析矩形出光孔径和亚波长金属光栅结构,发现大孔径高功率垂直腔面发射激光器(VCSEL)的偏振控制的难点在于横模非常复杂。因此提出一种新型的氧化光栅型VCSEL结构,不仅能够很好地在有源区内引入各项异性的增益结构,并且最大的优势还在于能够完美地控制大孔径VCSEL的横模。通过有限元软件对器件有源区的电流分布进行了模拟,发现当光栅脊的宽度为1.8 μm时,载流子在光栅两端聚集的现象基本上可以消除,而且其电流密度分布差可以达到很高。

A MOCVD-Growth Multi-Wavelength Laser Monolithically Integrated on InP

We present an arrayed waveguide grating multi-wavelength laser （MWL）. The device is operated with five wave- length channels of 194 GHz spacing around a central wavelength of 1.57μm. A side mode suppression ratio of better than 35 dB for all channels is demonstrated. A very attractive feature of the MWL is that it has been realized by a novel one step regrowth approach to achieve a high quality active and passive interface.     

基于神光Ⅲ原型的激光直接驱动自由面准等熵实验研究

长脉冲激光打靶的直接驱动方式效率较高,但对激光强度变化非常敏感。利用测量自由面速度历史的方法对激光直接驱动准等熵压缩实验技术进行了分析,为改进激光直接驱动的准等熵压缩实验技术提供技术基础。介绍了国内在神光III原型装置上首次开展的激光直接驱动自由面准等熵压缩实验。对实验靶型、激光波形、典型实验结果以及实验中的关键技术进行了分析。在激光能量为1000 J的实验中,使用成像型速度干涉仪获得了较为理想的准等熵压缩条纹图。实验发现,自由面速度达到11.3 km/s时,自由面反射的探针光信号消失。通过对比Multi-1D软件的理论模拟数据与实验处理的结果,发现由于Al自由面缺少约束,这类实验会造成波系复杂化的问题,但是对主冲击的研究还是有意义的。对某些特殊材料,在很难找到阻抗匹配窗口的条件下,利用激光直接驱动方式研究材料高压响应特性提供了另一条可实施的技术途径。     

Coherent beam combination of adaptive fiber laser array with tilt-tip and phase-locking control

We present an experimental study on tilt-tip(TT) and phase-locking(PL) control in a coherent beam combination(CBC) system of adaptive fiber laser array.The TT control is performed using the adaptive fiber-optics collimator(AFOC),and the PL control is realized by the phase modulator(PM).Cascaded and simultaneous controls of TT and PL using stochastic parallel gradient descent(SPGD) algorithm are investigated in this paper.Two-fiber-laser-,four-fiber-laser-,and six-fiber-laser-arrays are employed to study the TT and PL control.In the cascaded control system,only one high-speed CMOS camera is used to collect beam data and a computer is used as the controller.In a simultaneous control system one high-speed CMOS camera and one photonic detector(PD) are employed,and a computer and a control circuit based on field programmable gate array(FPGA) are used as the controllers.Experimental results reveal that both cascaded and simultaneous controls of TT using AFOC and PL using PM in fiber laser array are feasible and effective.Cascaded control is more effective in static control situation and simultaneous control can be applied to the dynamic control system directly.The control signals of simultaneous PL and TT disturb each other obviously and TT and PL control may compete with each other,so the control effect is limited.     

Two localized CO2 laser treatment methods for mitigation of UV damage growth in fused silica

Two methods：high-power,short-time,single-shot irradiation（Method A） and low-power,long-time,multi-shot irradiation（Method B） are investigated to mitigate the UV damage growth in fused silica by using a 10.6-μm CO2 laser.To verify the mitigation effect of the two methods,the laser induced damage thresholds（LIDTs） of the mitigated sites are tested with a 355-nm,6.4-ns Nd：YAG laser,and the light modulation of the mitigation sites are tested with a 351-nm continuous Nd：YLF laser.The mitigated damaged sites treated with the two methods have almost the same LIDTs,which can recover to the level of pristine material.Compared with Method A,Method B produces mitigated sites with low crater depth and weak light modulation.In addition,there is no raised rim or re-deposited debris formed around the crater edge for Method B.Theoretical calculation is utilized to evaluate the central temperature of the CO2 laser beam irradiated zone and the radius of the crater.It is indicated that the calculated results are consistent with the experimental results.
