百瓦级PCFA/LBO倍频绿光皮秒激光器

具有高平均功率的皮秒级脉冲激光在工业加工、空间探测等领域具有重要的应用。但是锁模产生的皮秒种子光因脉冲宽度窄、单脉冲能量低,难以直接通过传统的行波放大实现功率的高效提升,因此也限制了输出脉冲的非线性频率转换效率。文中通过光栅啁啾脉冲展宽器和狭缝,将中心波长为1030 nm、脉冲宽度7 ps、重复频率52 MHz的光纤锁模种子光脉冲宽度展宽至32 ps,且将其光谱宽度控制在1.1 nm,利用两个空气包层光子晶体光纤放大器将功率放大至190 W。最后通过温度相位匹配LiB₃O₅ 晶体实现了平均功率为103.1 W的绿光皮秒脉冲输出,光束质量因子1.17,二次谐波转换效率54.3%。

非共线角与相位匹配角对YCOB晶体OPCPA增益光谱影响的研究

主要通过理论和实验研究相位匹配角和非共线角对三硼酸钙钇(YCOB)晶体光参量啁啾脉冲放大(OPCPA)的放大光谱产生的影响。理论上,通过数值模拟计算发现,基于YCOB-OPCPA的放大光谱对相位匹配角和非共线角的变化均比较敏感,当相位匹配角或非共线角有微小变化时,增益光谱将会出现中心波段漂移和窄化现象,但当非共线角在2.80°~2.91°之间变化时,总能找到一个理想的相位匹配角与之匹配,满足带宽大于80nm的宽带OPCPA放大。为了获得高效率宽带OPCPA放大输出,提出一种基于高精密CCD的非共线角的测量方法,并利用该方法在实验中研究了不同非共线角下YCOB晶体OPCPA的光谱增益特性,并获得宽带放大光谱,为单次OPCPA调试实验提供参考。     

利用扫描式三阶相关技术测量超短脉冲激光的特性研究

本文采用共线和非共线两种大动态范围扫描三阶相关技术测量飞秒激光脉冲,并对其测量结果及其特征进行了理论和实验分析。实验发现,共线式扫描三阶相关方法由于存在基频光在空气中通过三倍频过程直接产生三次谐波的现象,导致实际能够测量的动态范围下降;而非共线式扫描三阶相关技术虽然对脉冲强度具有较高的动态测量范围,但非共线夹角和光斑的大小对测量脉冲宽度有很大的影响。理论计算和实验结果表明,非共线情况下,入射到和频晶体上的光束夹角和光斑直径越大,测量得到的脉冲宽度也越大。共线和非共线两种方式均不影响对次脉冲位置的判断,但由于非共线式三阶相关测量得到的脉冲宽度增加,主脉冲附近的小脉冲结构或者距离较近的两个脉冲将会难以分辨。

Group-velocity matched femtosecond parametric oscillation by noncollinear quasi-phase matching

A general model of noncollinear femtosecond parametric oscillation in periodically poled gratings is proposed, in which the group velocities of interacting waves are matched, based on a noncollinear quasi-phase matching (QPM) scheme. We demonstrate that group velocity matching and quasi-phase matching can be simultaneously achieved for ultrashort pulses. The corresponding noncollinear angles and grating periods are calculated for periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) and periodically poled KTP (PPKTP). With a suitable choice of parameters, the effective interaction length in the crystal can be remarkably increased, and an enhancement of parametric gain by orders of magnitude obtained, thus reducing the operational threshold significantly.     

Noncollinear interactions in parametric luminescence

A quantum mechanical perturbation treatment of optical parametric luminescence in nonlinear crystals is briefly given. The expression obtained for the emitted signal power applies to noncollinear phase-matching situations. Next, a detailed analysis of these interactions is given, with results in the form of signal wavelength versus observation angle, with fixed pump direction. The nonlinear crystal is LiNbO3and the pump is one of the lines from an argon ion laser. The effect of temperature is studied. Emphasis is on large observation angle effects, and on the singularities arising from the particular dispersion curves of the crystal. Experimental results provide a good check on noncollinear matching predictions. The far-field signal wavelength dependence on angle as measured from pump beam is approximately quadratic for small angles, and linear for the particular temperature that gives the collinear degenerate interaction. For larger angles, the law is not simple, and there is a limiting cone of directions with no matched signal outside. This cone appears brightest in far field. Applications discussed include the accurate measurement of nonlinear susceptibilities of crystals, the design of tunable optical parametric oscillators, and the measurement of refractive indices in strong absorption regions.

Stimulated polariton scattering (SPS) based on noncollinear phase matching scheme from the A1-symmetry modes of KNbO3 crystal is investigated for generating terahertz (THz) wave. Frequency tuning characteristics of THz wave by varying the phase matching angle and pump wavelength are analyzed. The expression of the effective parametric gain length under the noncollinear phase matching condition is deduced. Parametric gain and absorption characteristics of THz wave in KNbO3 are theoretically simulated. The characteristics of KNbO3 for parametric oscillator (TPO) are compared with those of MgO:LiNbO3. The analysis results indicate that KNbO3 is an excellent optical crystal for TPO to enhance the output of THz wave.
