Watt-level laser operation of Pr3+:YLF at 696 and 698 nm

We report continuous-wave deep red lasers at 696.6 and 698.6 nm in a Pr³⁺:YLF crystal pumped by an InGaN laser diode. A Lyot filter was inserted into the cavity as a birefringent filter to select wavelength; the lasers at 696.6 and 698.6 nm were obtained with a maximum output power of 1.36 and 3.11 W, separately. To the best of our knowledge, the output powers of these two lasers are the highest to date, and this is the first scaling of the output power of the Pr³⁺:YLF lase...     

基于环形电磁矩超材料的可调谐太赫兹吸收器

本文提出一种反向开口双金属谐振环超材料集成微流通道的可调谐太赫兹波吸收器.数值分析了超材料环形电磁矩的高效激发,讨论了环形电磁矩的共振吸收谱对微流介质层的介电参数与磁参数调控的响应.采用可电控液晶材料注入微流通道的方案,通过太赫兹透明电极施加外部电场控制液晶折射率变化,实现太赫兹超材料吸收器工作频率的大范围动态调谐.频率移动量超过100%的共振带宽,相对调谐量(Δf/f)可高达15%,频率调谐呈现良好的线性操作特征和近100%吸收率的完美吸收性能.所提出的可调谐太赫兹吸收器在太赫兹探测和微流生化传感领域具有广阔的应用前景.
