GROUP-VELOCITY DISPERSION IN CHIRPED-PULSE AMPLIFIER

By using the pulse propagation equation in the nonlinear dispersive medium, the effects of second- and third-order group-velocity dispersion on pulse evolution in the stretching, amplification and compressing are studied when chirped pulse am-plification is applied to the pulses of a width <30fs, and the optimum dispersion-compensated conditions among the stretcher, amplifier and compressor are deter-mined. From the standpoint of dispersion compensation and control and the com-pressor adjustment, it is proposed that low-groove-density gratings (≤800 line/mm) are the better choices for stretching and compressing the pulses of a width <30fs in chirped-pulse amplification. It is also shown that, with a proper adjustment of the compressor incident angle and grating separation, an exact null in both second- and third-order dispersions can be achieved without any additional dispersion- compensated elements.

Experimental study on terahertz radiation

In this letter, we describe a coherent subpicosecond terahertz (THz) spectroscopy system based on nonresonant optical rectification for the generation of THz radiation. We studied the two-photon absorption (TPA) of ZnTe induced by femtosecond laser pulses via THz generation, and its influence on the generation of THz radiation. Experimental results demonstrated that the intensity of pump beam against TPA must be traded off to get an optimum generation of THz radiation. As an example, we measured absorption spectrum of water vapor by time-domain spectroscopy (TDS) in the frequency range from 0.5 to 2.5 THzwith a high overall accuracy.

含负克尔效应半导体可饱和吸收镜的五镜腔飞秒钛宝石激光器的理论分析

基于半导体可饱和吸收镜(SESAM)的负克尔效应，对含SESAM的五镜腔进行了理论计算和分析.结果表明，由于SESAM的负克尔效应，与没有SESAM的相比，锁模激光器的稳区在上稳区的内边缘有明显扩展，这使得激光器锁模启动的工作点更加靠近直流运转时的稳区边缘，从而获得更大的非线性因子.这说明SESAM的可饱和吸收机理具有锁模自启动效应外，其负克尔效应也有助于锁模的自启动. 关键词： 半导体可饱和吸收镜 负克尔效应 五镜腔
