高纯度高转换效率一阶斯托克斯激光谐振腔研究

正在斯托克斯位移过程中,当有一阶斯托克斯光子产生后,若入射光子的密度足够高,即可产生二阶甚至高阶斯托克斯光子。若入射光子密度相对较低,不能产生二阶斯托克斯过程,则一阶斯托克斯过程的转换效率也很低。因此,很难实现高效并且纯净的一阶斯托克斯光输出。给出了一种采用偏振耦合输入的拉曼激光谐振腔的实验研究结果。该腔在有效抑制二级斯托克斯光产生的同时,实现了高效的一阶斯托克斯激光输出。采用的斯托克斯谐振腔的泵浦激光源波长532 nm,脉宽10 nm,脉冲重复频率30 kHz、该532 nm激光是由波长为1064 nm的二极管泵浦Q开关激光通过LBO晶体倍频得到。在通过b-cut的KGW(KGD(WO_4)2)晶体后,得到的一阶斯托克斯激光波长为559 nm,二阶斯托克斯激光波长为589 nm。为实现上述高纯度高转换效率的559 nm激光输出,一种逻辑上较为简单的方法是采用HR532 nmAR589 nm,且对559 nm有较高反射率的输出腔镜。但由于三个波长间距较小,要实现这样的腔镜镀膜比较困难,且价格不菲。采用泵浦光偏振耦合输入斯托克斯激光腔的方法,即将线偏振的532 nm激光通过α-BBO晶体走离进入斯托克斯腔内的振荡激光光路、腔内加入一片对532nm和589 nm光为半波片,对559 nm光为全波片的特殊波片、从而实现只有559 nm的一阶斯托克斯光可以在谐振腔内多次振荡,而532 nm的泵浦光和589 nm的二级斯托克斯光则在小于等于一次腔内往返光程时即通过α-BBO晶体走离而离开该谐振腔,造成远大于其腔内增益的损耗。基于以上偏振耦合输入斯托克斯谐振腔设计,实现了6.2 W的纯净559 nn激光输出、入射激光至一阶斯托克斯输出激光的能量转换效率达39%、在输出激光中,泵浦光能量与一阶斯托克斯激光能量之比小于0、7%,二阶及高阶斯托克斯激光与一阶斯托克斯激光能量之比小于0.1%、

应用压缩氢的受激喇曼散射实现激光频率宽带调谐

受激喇曼散射(SRS)高功率激光频率转换的重要途径,特别是在近真空紫外波段、近红外、中红外波段更因其具有简便性和高效率而引人注目。由于固体或多数液体对光的吸收和色散,限制了入射光的强度,从而限制了输出的Stokes线及反Stokes线的强度和级数。此外,某些非线性效应较显著的液、固体分子的复杂性,增宽了输出Stokes及反Stokes线的谱线宽度;许多固体和液体的喇曼频移也比较窄,不适合用于频率转换。因此,要利用受激喇曼效应的频移来获得宽范围新波段上的可调谐激光源,往往利用气体中的SRS效应。高压H_2气是有大的     

Experimental and numerical study of stimulated Raman scattering inan astigmatic focus

An astigmatic focus has been used to increase the conversion efficiency of a Raman cell at high pump energy. Experimental and numerical results show that the increased conversion is due to the reduction of cascade second order Stokes. It is shown that other effects, namely Brillouin scattering, anti-Stokes generation, and ground-state depletion, are negligible for the present experimental setup. The experimental and numerical calculations are in agreement. In particular, good agreement was obtained for the cross-over energy, i.e., the pump energy where the ordinary and the astigmatic focus give the same Stokes energy. Below this energy an ordinary focus gives a higher conversion than an astigmatic focus, while above this energy this is reversed     

High compression ratio backward Raman conversion for highbrightness excimer laser systems

A scheme of backward Raman pulse compression is proposed in which the backward first Stokes pulse is amplified under stationary conditions and the backward second Stokes under transient conditions by choosing an appropriate Raman medium. The compression factor and efficiency are improved by insertion of selective absorbers for the second Stokes component. The feasibility of such a scheme is demonstrated by an experiment in which a 249-nm UV pulse of 20-ns duration has been compressed into a 30-ps pulse with an power gain of 150 and energy conversion efficiency of 22%. Higher compression ratio and higher efficiency is expected under improved conditions

Stimulated Raman shifting of the Nd:YAG fourth harmonic (266 nm) inH2, HD, and D2

The dependence of the first Stokes stimulated Raman conversion efficiency of fourth-harmonic radiation from a Nd:YAG laser at 266 nm has been studied for the isotopic species H₂, HD, and D₂ as a function of gas pressure and laser energy using a low numerical aperture (~4.5×10^-3) pumping geometry. While the laser energy threshold for first Stokes conversion is seen to vary significantly between the species it has been found that photon conversion efficiencies of at least 50% can be achieved for all of them for laser pump energies at 266 nm ⩽50 mJ/pulse. This study provides a new measurement of the differential cross section for stimulated Raman scattering in HD of 8.1±2.4×10^-29 cm²/sr at 266 nm and at high pressures, and agreement is found with previous measurements of the cross sections for H₂ and D₂. The results have been used to optimize the laser transmitter system for a differential absorption lidar (DIAL) system to measure tropospheric ozone concentration profiles     

Highly efficient Raman frequency converter with strontium tungstate crystal

A highly efficient extracavity Raman laser pumped by the infrared nanosecond laser pulses is presented utilizing the recently recommended Raman medium-strontium tungstate crystal (SrWO/sub 4/). The maximum conversion efficiency of the first and second Stokes pulses both reached about 50%, and the maximum total conversion efficiency of the first and second Stokes was obtained to be 70% in the experiment. The conversion efficiency dependence on the polarization and the temporal characteristics of the Stokes and pump pulses were also studied. A theoretical model for the solid-state extracavity Raman laser was established based on the radiation transfer equations describing stimulated Raman scattering processes, and solved numerically. This model can accurately predict the energy transfer dynamics observed in extracavity Raman lasers.
