The influence of laser focusing on the intensity of spectral lines in femtosecond laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy of liquids

The influence of the diameter of the beam of a femtosecond Ti:Sapphire laser (800 nm, 40 fs, 0.8 mJ) on the intensity of spectral lines upon optical breakdown on the surface of CaCl₂ aqueous solution has been determined experimentally. It is shown that an increase in the laser-beam diameter from 7 to 14 mm on a focusing lens for identical pulse energy increases the intensities of the CaII (393.3 nm) and H_α (656 nm) lines by factors of 3 and 20, respectively. This effect can be used to increase the intensities of emission lines of chemical elements in femtosecond laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy of liquids and, accordingly, improve the sensitivity of this method.     

Injection seeding in a dual-cavity gain-switched Ti:Sapphire laser

Abstract

An experimental investigation of a pulsed tunable injection-seeding system pumped by a Nd:YAG laser is presented. The slave laser (SL) of the system is a gain-switched Ti:Sapphire laser with a dual-channel competitive cavity which consists of a main ring channel and an auxiliary linear one with different lengths. The use of this configuration results in full and reliable suppression of both the perturbing reverse radiation from the SL to the master laser (ML) and the broadband spectral background of the SL's ring channel. This is achieved irrespective of the ratio between the energies of the SL and ML, fluctuations of laser parameters, and spectral detuning. We take advantage of the gain-switched regime of the Ti:Sapphire laser to avoid simultaneous competition between the SL's channels; this allows us to obtain spectrally pure, unidirectional output radiation with high seeding and overall efficiency. The principle of operation of the ring-linear-cavity Ti:Sapphire slave laser provides a natural optical isolation between the SL and ML; this makes such lasers suitable for use as regenerative amplifiers when seeded by single-frequency diode lasers as well as in chirped-pulse-amplification systems to amplify ultrashort laser pulses without the necessity of optical isolators.     

Experimental study of noise properties of a Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser

The fidelity of a coherent link between optical and microwave frequencies is largely determined by noise processes in a mode-locked femtosecond laser. This work presents an experimental study of the noise properties of a Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser. It includes measurements of pulse repetition rate fluctuations and shot noise exhibited by the Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser. Based on the results of noise measurements, the fractional frequency stability of a microwave signal produced by the femtosecond laser has been evaluated.     

Preparation of crystalline beta barium borate thin films on Sr-doped alpha barium borate substrates by liquid phase epitaxy

Thin films of beta barium borate have been prepared by liquid phase epitaxy on Sr²⁺-doped -BaB₂O₄ (-BBO, the high temperature phase of barium borate) (001) and (110) substrates. The results of X-ray diffraction indicate that the films show highly (00l) preferred orientation on (001)-oriented substrates while the films grown on (110) substrates are textured with (140) orientation. The crystallinity of these films was found to depend on growth temperature, rotation rate, dip time and orientation of substrate. Growth conditions were optimized to grow films with (00l) orientation on (001) substrates reproducibly. The films show second harmonic generation of 400 nm light upon irradiation with 800 nm Ti: Sapphire femtosecond laser light.

Laser-induced molybdenum oxide formation by low energy (nJ)-high repetition rate (MHz) femtosecond pulses

Experimental results on femtosecond (fs) laser-induced oxidation of molybdenum (Mo) thin films are presented. The Mo thin films were deposited on fused silica substrates by the magnetron DC-sputtering technique. The as-deposited thin films were characterized by X-ray diffraction, which indicates that bbc-molybdenum was grown. The films were irradiated in ambient air, using a femtosecond Ti:Sapphire laser (800 nm, 60 fs pulse duration, 70 MHz and 6.5 nJ per pulse). The molybdenum thin films were laser scanned in the form of several millimeters long straight line traces, by using a per pulse laser fluence well below the (previously reported) ablation threshold. Optical Microscopy (OM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were used to study the laser-induced optical and morphology changes on the exposed zone. Energy Dispersive Spectrometry (EDS) and Micro-Raman Spectroscopy (MRS) were used to determine the degree of oxidation and the phase change across the laser irradiated paths on the Mo thin film. Under the above described experimental conditions our results show that it is possible to laser-induce a specific oxide phase from the molybdenum starting material. Our micro-Raman results clearly demonstrate that the fs-laser irradiation induces the m-MoO₂ and o-Mo₄O₁₁ crystalline phases at the directly laser irradiated trace and its close proximity.

Comparative study of femtosecond and nanosecond laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy of depleted uranium

We present spectra of depleted uranium metal from laser plasmas generated by nanosecond Nd:YAG (1064 nm) and femtosecond Ti:sapphire (800 nm) laser pulses. The latter pulses produce short-lived and relatively cool plasmas in comparison to the longer pulses, and the spectra of neutral uranium atoms appear immediately after excitation. Evidence for nonequilibrium excitation with femtosecond pulses is found in the dependence of spectral line intensities on the pulse chirp.     

Evaluation of femtosecond laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy for analysis of animal tissues

The aim of this work was to evaluate the performance of femtosecond laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (fs-LIBS) for the determination of elements in animal tissues. Sample pellets were prepared from certified reference materials, such as liver, kidney, muscle, hepatopancreas, and oyster, after cryogenic grinding assisted homogenization. Individual samples were placed in a two-axis computer-controlled translation stage that moved in the plane orthogonal to a beam originating from a Ti:Sapphire chirped-pulse amplification (CPA) laser system operating at 800 nm and producing a train of 840 microJ and 40 fs pulses at 90 Hz. The plasma emission was coupled into the optical fiber of a high-resolution intensified charge-coupled device (ICCD)-echelle spectrometer. Time-resolved characteristics of the laser-produced plasmas showed that the best results were obtained with delay times between 80 and 120 ns. Data obtained indicate both that it is a matrix-independent sampling process and that fs-LIBS can be used for the determination of Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Na, and P, but efforts must be made to obtain more appropriate detection limits for Al, Sr, and Zn.
