罗彻斯特小组获得了目前最短的脉冲

罗彻斯特大学的一个小组报告说,他们已作出了可能是目前最短的激光脉冲。该大学激光工程实验室的G.Mourou和T.Sizer说已产生了持续时间不到70毫微微秒(7×10-14l秒)的闪光。Mourou 在一次交谈中说,70毫微微秒脉冲持续时间是直接从激光振荡器中测出的,没有作任何的脉冲压缩尝试。为了产生超短脉冲,Mourou和Sizer采用了类似于以前报导过的、产生500毫微微秒染料激光器脉冲的装置。用一锁模 Nd:YAG激光器发出的倍频光束同步泵浦一染料振荡器。关键性的不同在于他们把若丹明6G 激光染料与另一称为 DQOCI 的染料混合。

Ultrasensitive response of a CW dye laser to selective extinction

The sensitivity of a broad-band dye laser to selective intracavity absorption is proportional to the number of oscillating modes. This result is obtained from a rate equation model, taking into account the spectral homogeneity, but spatial inhomogeneity of the laser saturation. An increase of absorption sensitivity by a factor of 10⁵, compared to a single-pass measurement, is observed in an experiment with an iodine vapor absorption cell inside the cavity of a CW dye laser. The fluorescence of an external iodine vapor cell provides a convenient selective absorption monitor.

Long pulse DCM dye laser

We describe a flashlamp pumped dye laser, incorporating both prepulse and simmer enhancement, which is capable of kW outputs for the 0.1 ms duration of the flashlamp pulse. The laser has been operated with the new dye DCM; we find that using oxygen or nitrogen gas in the dye solution greatly increases both laser amplitude and pulse duration.

Picosecond pulse measurements using the active laser medium

A simple method for measuring the pulse lengths of synchronously pumped dye lasers which does not require the use of an external nonlinear medium, such as a doubling crystal or two-photon fluorescence cell, to autocorrelate the pulses is discussed. The technique involves feeding the laser pulses back into the dye jet, thus correlating the output pulses with the intracavity pulses to obtain pulse length signatures in the resulting time-averaged laser power. Experimental measurements were performed using a rhodamine 6G dye laser pumped by a mode-locked frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser. The results agree well with numerical computations, and the method proves effective in determining lengths of picosecond laser pulses

Dye laser studies using zig-zag optical cavity

We report a substantial advance in dye laser performance using a zig-zag optical cavity. This configuration drastically reduces the effects of intrapulse medium disturbances due to acoustics and thermal lensing on pulse duration, beam quality, and extraction efficiency. Laser outputs of up to 2 J were observed from Coumarin-498 dye pumped by a KrF excimer laser. The dye laser output faithfully replicates the hat-top KrF laser pump pulse over the entire 1.7-μs pulse duration. An intrinsic laser photon conversion efficiency (Photons_in/Photons_absorbed) of 44% was measured. When unstable resonator optics were used, beam qualities of about 2 XDL were measured     

Ultrashort pulse generation from an integrated single-chip dyelaser

In distributed-feedback (DFB) dye lasers pumped by a nanosecond-pulse laser, a train of picosecond spikes is generated by the relaxation oscillation. A single spike with a pulse duration of 50 ps is extracted in a plastic-waveguide DFB dye laser using a quenching technique. To compress this to femtosecond pulse, a new type of integrated pulse compressor is proposed, and its performances are analyzed. The compressor is composed of a plastic waveguide in which amplifier dye and saturable dye are alternatively doped. Computer simulation shows that the 50-ps pulse is compressed to 120 fs by passing through four stages of amplifier and saturable absorber pair. Using this scheme, we expect to construct a very compact and simple ultrashort pulse generator in which the whole system is integrated on a chip of a plastic waveguide
