Supercontinuum generation in seven-core photonic crystal fiber pumped by a broadband picosecond pulsed fiber amplifier

We report a supercontinuum source generated in seven-core photonic crystal fibers(PCFs) pumped by a self-made all-fiber picosecond pulsed broadband fiber amplifier. The amplifier's output average power is 60 W at 1150 nm with spectral width of 260 nm, and its repetition rate is 8.47 MHz with pulse width of 221 ps. With two different lengths of seven-core PCF, different output powers and spectra are obtained. When a 10 m long seven-core PCF is chosen, the output supercontinuum covers the wavelength range from 620 nm to 1700 nm, with the output power of 11.7 W. With only 2 m long seven-core PCF used in the same experiment, the wavelength of the supercontinuum spans from 680 nm to 1700 nm,with the output power of 20.4 W. The results show that the pulse width is 385 ps in the 10 m long seven-core PCF and 255 ps in the 2 m long one, respectively, due to the normal dispersion of the PCF.     

啁啾光纤布拉格光栅展宽器的设计与制作

为获得较大展宽量的光纤器件,在相位掩模版刻写技术的基础上设计并制作了两种啁啾光纤布拉格光栅(CFBG)展宽器。基于相位掩模版刻写技术的原理和CFBG的色散补偿理论,提出了两种展宽器的制作方法,并优化了刻写光路,获得了高反射率、大反射带宽的CFBG。通过拉力传感器控制CFBG的反射谐振波长,通过改进刻写方式制作了大色散量的CFBG级联展宽器和大反射带宽的CFBG串联展宽器。搭建了两种展宽器的测试光源,通过直接测量的方式得到CFBG级联展宽器所提供的展宽量约为345 ps,这与理论结果相符;通过正、反接的方式间接推算了CFBG串联展宽器所提供的展宽量约为278.7 ps,这小于理论结果。     

A theoretical and experimental study on all-normal-dispersion Yb-doped mode-locked fiber lasers

We report on a theoretical and experimental study of an all-normal-dispersion (ANDi) Yb-doped mode-locked fiber laser, in which nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR) is used to realize mode-locking without any dispersion compensation. Based on the coupled nonlinear Schrdinger (CNLS) equation, a model simulating the mode-locked process of an allnormal-dispersion ring fiber laser is developed, which shows that the achievement of stable mode-locking depends on the alignment of the polarization controller (PC) along the fast-polarization axis of the fiber, the birefringence intensity, and the net cavity dispersion. According to the theoretical analysis, stable mode-locked pulses with pulse duration 300 ps and average output power 33.9mW at repetition rate 36MHz are obtained.     

双色场中氦离子高次谐波的保结构算法研究及应用

 通过数值求解含时Schr ö dinger方程,研究了氦离子在不同双色场下的高次谐波。结果显示,尽管倍频光强度仅为基频光的1/10,高次谐波辐射却发生了极大变化。虽然谐波级次推进不多,但效率大大提高了,平台区平均提高103倍,高倍频光对应的高次谐波产生效率提高104~105倍。氦离子在添加倍频光的双色场作用下高次谐波产生效率极大提高的原因是：倍频光极大地加快了电子电离到连续态及返回基态这一过程,使辐射出的高次谐波光子数大大增加,该初步阐释可为高次谐波真正应用到实际中提供一些理论启示。

Oscillation conditions of cw simultaneous dual-wavelength Nd：YAG laser for transitions 4F3／2-4I9／2 and 4F3／2-4I11／2

The operating condition of a cw simultaneous dual-wavelength Nd:YAG laser for both {}^4F_{3/2}-{}^4I_{9/2} (quasi-three-level system) and {}^4F_{3/2}-{}^4I_{11/2}(four-level system) transitions is studied. According to this condition, the cw simultaneous dual-wavelength at 1.06μm and 946 nm in Nd:YAG crystal has been realized experimentally through an adaptive coating design of the cavity mirrors. A total power output of 2.5W of the dual-wavelength at 946nm and 1.06μm has been achieved with an optical conversion efficiency 14.3%. The experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical analysis.     

Influence of optical nonlinearity on combining efficiency in ultrashort pulse fiber laser coherent combining system

The influence of optical nonlinearity on combining efficiency in ultrashort pulse fiber laser coherent combining system is investigated theoretically and experimentally. In the theoretical work, a new theoretical algorithm is presented for the coherent combining efficiency, which can be used to quantify the spectral coherence decay induced by optical nonlinearity imbalance between the sub-beams. The spectral information of the sub-beam is obtained by numerically solving the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) in this algorithm to ensure an accurate prediction. In the experimental work, the coherent combining of two all-fiber picosecond lasers is achieved, and the influence of imbalanced optical nonlinearity on the combining efficiency is studied, which agrees with the theoretical prediction. This paper reveals the physical mechanism for the influence of optical nonlinearity on the combining efficiency, which is valuable for the coherent combining of ultrashort pulse fiber laser beams.
