Characterization of Hermite-Gaussian Beams by Using Hartmann-Shack Wavefront Sensor

A Hartmann-Shack wavefront sensor (HSWS) is used in characterization of Hermite-Gaussian beams that are generated from a laser-diode pumped mode generator. By measuring the intensity distribution and the phase gradient distribution of the Hermite-Gaussian beams, we determine the beam width, radius of curvature and M^2factor from the images recorded in the HSWS. The results obtained from the HSWS measurement are compared with the ones obtained from the caustic measurement.     

Intracavity optical parametric oscillator at 1.57-μm wavelength pumped by passive Q-switched Nd：GdVO4 laser

A high-repetition-rate eye-safe optical parametric oscillator （OPO）, using a non-critically phase-matched KTP crystal intracavity pumped by a passively Q-switched Nd：GdVO4/Cr^4＋ ：YAG laser, is experimentally demonstrated. The conversion efficiency for the average power is 7% from pump diode input to OPO signal output and the slope efficiency is up to 10.3%. With an incident pump power of 7,3 W, the compact intracavity OPO （IOPO） cavity, operating at 15 kHz, produces an average power of 0.57 W at 1570 nm with a pulse width as short as 6 ns. The peak power at 1570 nm is higher than 6.3 kW.     

Generation and application of the twisted beam with orbital angular momentum

The twisted Laguerre-Gaussian beam was generated by transforming of Hermite-Gaussian beams through an optical system consisting of three rotated cylindrical lenses. The intensity distribution and phase structure of the twisted hollow beam were theoretically analyzed by using Collins diffraction integral. By utilizing the method of mode decomposition, the theory of transformation was analyzed. In the experiment, micro particles were trapped and rotated by this twisted beam.
