A Global Optimization Approach to Laser Design

The objective of this work is to develop and validate the basis of a novel laser modeling and design methodology that incorporates a global optimization approach. Classical modeling techniques typically involve design evaluations that are conducted at the laser's threshold injection current. This is the point where the laser is just turning on, and the (standard practice) numerical challenge is minimal. The fundamental difference offered by the proposed new methodology is the possibility of developing laser designs directly at the injection current (power level) of interest.The effectiveness of the new methodology is verified by considering the computationally difficult problem of maximizing a laser's internal (cavity) field flatness over a range of above-threshold injection currents, while also considering the boundary condition error of the laser's internal field solution. Global optimization is then used to find an optimally flat field solution in terms of the laser's structural design parameters. The favorable comparison between our results and the results obtained by the extrapolation of threshold designs to the same injection current indicate the self-consistency and fundamental capabilities of the new methodology.     

Analysis of Thermal Effects in Laser Rod Pumped by Repetitively Pulsed Laser Diode Array

Based on some assumptions, the numerical model of thermal distribution in solid state laser crystal pumped by pulsed laser diode is set up due to the pumped intensity distribution. Taking into account the property of YAG materials that varies with temperature, the transient temperature distribution of the laser crystal is calculated using finite element method on condition that K is a constant and a function of temperature. Then, the influence of the pumping parameters on the thermal effect in laser crystal is also discussed. This study is helpful to optimize the design of the diode side pumped solid state lasers.     

用于高功率双包层光纤激光器侧面耦合的对称夹层结构

提出了一种基于亚波长衍射光栅理论的介质-金属-介质的对称夹层结构,这种结构因为没有使用诸如折射率匹配液、光学固化胶等承受不了较高温度的黏接物质,所以可以用于大功率激光二极管阵列的侧面抽运,尤其可用于条形半导体激光器侧面抽运双包层掺杂光纤中,以制作各种大功率稀土离子掺杂光纤激光器,并且其耦合效率可以达到80%以上。同时,这种侧面抽运技术还支持多点抽运以及光纤两端同时激射高能激光。     

Optical Frequency Metrology of an Iodine-Stabilized He-Ne Laser Using the Frequency Comb of a Quantum-Interference-Stabilized Mode-Locked Laser

We perform optical frequency metrology of an iodine-stabilized He-Ne laser using a mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser frequency comb that is stabilized using quantum interference of photocurrents in a semiconductor. Using this technique, we demonstrate carrier-envelope offset frequency fluctuations of less than 5 mHz using a 1 s gate time. With the resulting stable frequency comb, we measure the optical frequency of the iodine transition [¹²⁷I₂ R(127) 11-5 i component] to be 473 612 214 712.96 ± 0.66 kHz, well within the uncertainty of the CIPM recommended value. The stability of the quantum interference technique is high enough such that it does not limit the measurements.     

Highly photostable distributed-feedback polymer waveguide blue laser using spirobifluorene derivatives

In this study, we synthesized the new spirobifluorene derivatives; hexylbiphenyl-spirobifluorene (HBP-Spiro) and triphenylamine-spirobifluorene (TPA-Spiro) and demonstrated the operation of a distributed-feedback polymer waveguide blue laser. In addition, we investigated the optical and lasing properties of spirobifluorene derivatives including photostability. The experimental slope efficiency and the energy threshold of a HBP-Spiro-doped waveguide laser were 3.6% and 1.9 μJ, respectively. An operation lifetime of 27,000 shots was obtained for a pump-pulse duration of 1.2 ns and energy of 3.0 μJ at a wavelength of 355 nm.     

Optical Trappings of ThO2 and UO2 Particles Using Radiation Pressure of a Visible Laser Light

Optical trappings of ThO₂ and UO₂ particles have been first demonstrated in water using the radiation pressure of a TEM₀₀-mode He-Ne laser beam of λ=633 nm. It was observed that a ThO₂ particle was successfully trapped three-dimensionally in the focus region and transferred by moving the focus. On the other hand, for a UO₂ particle of which a refractive index and an extinction coefficient are relatively large in the visible region, only two-dimensional trapping was observed when the beam focus was located near the bottom of the particle. One of the main difficulties in the optical trapping of nuclear fuel particles is attributed to their relatively large absorption coefficients in the visible region. Computational studies on three-dimensional optical trapping performances of absorbing particles were, therefore, perfomed with a simulation code based on geometrical optics. The present calculation can well predict the experimental results on the optical trapping characteristics for ThO₂ and UO₂ particles.     

Growth and spectroscopic investigation of new promising laser crystal chromium (IV) doped germanoeucryptite Cr:LiAlGeO4

Single crystals of germanoeucryptite doped by chromium (IV) have been grown for the first time. Spectroscopic properties of grown crystals have been investigated. The intensive broadband fluorescence of Cr⁴⁺-ions in the range between 1070 and 1600 nm was observed with lifetime 10 μs. Preliminary investigations show that this material is promising for use as an active medium for new tunable solid-state laser of near IR-region.
