The author describes a continuous-wave (CW) dye laser has been pumped by laser diodes for the first time. Two 10-mW visible laser diodes were polarization-combined to pump a rhodamine 700 dye jet laser. The absorbed pump threshold power was 5.6 mW, and 0.28 mW of output power was produced at 758 nm. The resonator was scalable and generated over 360 mW with a slope efficiency of 57% when pumped with a DCM dye laser at 660 nm     

Frequency-tunable optically pumped carbon monoxide laser

Single-line frequency-tunable lasing was observed in an optically pumped, repetitively pulsed, room-temperature CO laser for the first time. The R(0) and R(7) ro-vibrational transitions in the (2,0) overtone of CO at 2.3 μm were optically pumped with a high-energy optical parametric oscillator. Single-line lasing was observed on (2,1) P(2)-P(17) transitions and R(0)-R(11) transitions (covering wavelengths within the range 4.6-4.9 μm) when using a diffraction grating as the spectrally selective reflector of the laser resonator. The observed CO laser pulse lengths were ~10^-7 s with peak power up to 10⁴ W. The influence of CO pressure, the addition of buffer gas (He, Ar), Q-factor of the laser resonator, and the pump pulse energy on CO laser pulse temporal characteristics and output energy spectral distribution was studied experimentally

改变天线泵浦光斑尺寸对太赫兹辐射影响的研究

从实验上研究了光电导天线电极之间激光光斑大小对太赫兹波产生的影响。另外,理论模拟了激光功率密度与太赫兹波辐射强度之间的关系,与实验结果非常吻合。泵浦光激光功率密度的增加能够显著的提高太赫兹波辐射强度,但是当超过一定值后会趋于饱和,此时若继续减小光斑尺寸,激光功率密度的增加不会使太赫兹产生继续增强。但是,太赫兹波却会随着光斑尺寸的减小而变弱。     

Characterization of new FIR laser lines from CHD/sub 2/OH

In this work, we report new optically pumped far-infrared (FIR) laser lines from CHD/sub 2/OH. A waveguide CO/sub 2/ laser of wide tunability (290 MHz) was used as pump source, and a Fabry-Pe/spl acute/rot open cavity was used as a FIR laser resonator. Optoacoustic absorption spectra were used as a guide to search for new FIR laser lines. We could observe 15 new laser lines in the range from 116.4 to 401.4 /spl mu/m. The lines were characterized according to wavelength, relative polarization, relative intensity, and optimum working pressure. The transferred Lamb-dip technique was used to measure the frequency absorption transition both for the new and previously reported laser lines.

Self-heated, multiple-metal-vapor laser

The design and performance of a self-heated metal-vapor laser utilizing copper, gold, and copper plus gold as active laser materials are described. A total average power of 17 mW at a pulse-repetition rate of 1.7 kHz was obtained simultaneously at 5106 Å (green), 5782 Å (yellow), and 6278 Å (red). The purpose of the research reported here was to obtain multiple-wavelength laser operation by mixing, in a single laser tube, metals known to lase individually. The design and operating characteristics of a discharge-heated metal-vapor laser utilizing copper, gold, or a mixture of copper and gold as the active laser materials are described. Although gold has been used as the active laser material previously, we believe this is the first report of a self-sustained (the only source of heat to vaporize the metal is the discharge used to excite it) gold-vapor laser and the first report of a multiple-metal-vapor laser.     

Laser radiation scattering by the optical breakdown plasma

The spatial distribution measurements of laser radiation, scattered in the laser spark, were accomplished for various laser radiation wavelengths (1060, 530, 353, and 265 nm) and various pressures of the gas (air at 10-760 mm Hg). The interference structure of the laser light scattering cone behind the laser spark was observed for the first time. It is proposed to consider the observed structure as a result of interference of the laser radiation, scattered by two or more self-focusing centers in laser spark air plasma. The experimental dependence of the maximal angle of the light scattering on the gas pressure and on the laser radiation wavelength was obtained

A Five-channel far-infrared (FIR) hydrogen cyanide (HCN) laser interferometer was developed to measure plasma electron density profile on the HT-7 superconducting tokamak. The structure of the five-channel FIR laser interferometer is described. The laser source used in the interferometer was a continuous wave glow discharge HCN laser with 3.4 m cavity length and 100 mW power output at 337 μm wavelength. The temporal resolution was 0.1 ms and the detection sensitivity was 1/12 fringe. Preliminary experimental results measured by the interferometer on HT-7 tokamak are reported.     

Stabilization of femtosecond mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser forhigh-accuracy pulse interferometry

We propose a method of long-term stabilization of the repetition rate and the spectral envelope in a femtosecond mode-locked (fs-ML) laser pulse by a simple control method without modifying the laser cavity configuration. The effectiveness of the repetition-rate-stabilized fs-ML laser was evaluated in a long-optical-path (LOP) pulse interferometer with a short reference arm. The resulting accuracy in the LOP pulse interferometer was improved to one-seventh that of a free-running fs-ML laser. Moreover, the stabilization of the spectral envelope was estimated to suppress the fluctuation in the phase and group indices of an object under testing by 1/50, which can increase the measurement accuracy in pulse interferometry. The simple and practical stabilization method provides a means to increase the application of pulse interferometry using the fs-ML laser
