偏振光飞秒双脉冲微加工

利用具有纳焦能量、高重复频率的偏振光飞秒双脉冲对金属铬膜样品进行微加工,样品表面都会产生微突起状结构,它们的宽度在0～400 ps的双脉冲时延范围内没有明显的变化,但高度却都在1～10 ps的双脉冲时延范围内呈现明显的下降,在此时延范围之外并没有明显的变化。通过加工样品的扫描电子显微镜(SEM)图片发现,对于偏振光,利用双脉冲方法,可以获得更好的加工质量。并且线偏振光得到的微突起状结构比较细长,在入射光束的偏振方向上有所伸长;圆偏振光得到的微突起状结构比较接近圆形。即在低脉冲能量、高重复频率情况下,具体的微加工特征形貌与入射光束的偏振状态有关。

Generation of double pulses in-line by using reflective Dammann gratings

Doubled femtosecond laser pulses in-line are needed in the collinear pump-probe technique, collinear second harmonic generation frequency-resolved optical gating (SHG FROG) and the spectral phase interferometry for direct electric-field reconstruction (SPIDER), etc. Normally, it is generated by using a Michelson's structure. In this paper, we proposed a novel structure with two-layered reflective Dammann gratings and the reflective mirrors to generate doubled femtosecond laser pulses in line without transmission optical elements. Angular dispersion and spectral spatial walk-off are both compensated. In addition, this structure can also compress the positive chirped pulse, which cannot be realized with a Michelson's structure. By adopting triangular grating and blazed gratings, the efficiency of the system would in principle be increased as the Michelson's scheme. Experiments demonstrated that this method should be an alternative approach for generation of the double compressed pulses of femtosecond laser for practical applications. (c) 2006 Elsevier GmbH.

Miniature pulse compressor of deep-etched gratings

We propose a miniature pulse compressor that can be used to compensate the group velocity dispersion that is produced by a commercial femtosecond laser cavity. The compressor is composed of two identical highly efficient deep-etched transmissive gratings. Compared with prism pairs, highly efficient deep-etched transmissive grating pairs are lightweight and small. With an optimized groove depth and a duty cycle, 98% diffraction efficiency of the -1 transmissive order can be achieved at a wavelength of 800 nm under Littrow conditions. The deep-etched gratings are fabricated in fused silica by inductively coupled plasma etching. With a pair of the fabricated gratings, the input positively chirped 73.9 fs pulses are neatly compressed into the nearly Fourier transform-limited 43.2 fs pulses. The miniature deep-etched grating-based pulse compressor should be of interest for practical applications. (c) 2008 Optical Society of America

Preparation and optical properties of Ag/PPy composite colloids

Ag/PPy (polypyrrole) composite colloids were prepared through the reaction of silver nitrate with pyrrole solution in DNIF either in the dark, or under the irradiation of femtosecond laser (fs) pulse or UV lamp. The UV-vis spectra of the nanocomposite colloid display an intense absorption band around 620 nm, accompanied by a weak one around 470 nm. The colors and optical absorption spectra of as-synthesized colloids can be reversibly tuned between blue and red, corresponding to absorption band of 620 urn and 526 urn, within few seconds by adding base and acid solutions or gases in turn into the composite colloid suspension. In addition, excess of H+ solution enhanced the absorption band around 470 nm and, at the same time, depressed that around 620 nm. The possible mechanism for the formation and optical absorption properties of the Ag/PPy composite colloid was proposed. (C) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

飞秒激光辐照ZnO晶体

利用飞秒激光对ZnO晶体进行辐照，对辐照前后的晶体样品进行发光光谱及拉曼光谱检测。辐照后发光光谱的某些发光峰强度有明显增强，但未产生新的发光峰，表明没有新的缺陷结构产生，但晶体内锌空位、间隙位锌、间隙位缺陷浓度增加。拉曼光谱结果表明，辐照后ZnO晶体未产生相变，但随着辐照激光功率的增大，拉曼峰327 cm-1，437 cm-1强度明显减弱，表明在飞秒激光辐照作用下氧化锌的结晶程度下降。但574 cm-1峰值却随着辐照功率的增大而变大，分析表明该拉曼峰很可能是由于晶体内间隙位缺陷所致。同时实验过程中观察到飞

单束飞秒激光在氧化铝晶体中诱导自组装微米点阵

报道了单束飞秒激光在氧化铝晶体中诱导自组装微米点阵的有关研究进展。当单束飞秒激光被透镜聚焦到氧化铝晶体的内部某固定点， 微米点阵就在聚焦点的下方自动生成。我们发现能否产生自组装点阵和光束的聚焦点距离样品表面的深度有关。通过比较在氧化铝晶体和氟化钙晶体中能够产生点阵的深度，我们发现在氧化铝中较浅的位置即能诱导出点阵，而在氟化钙中则要求深度较深。具体的机理在文中进行了讨论。

Blue green emission from a Cu+-Doped transparent material prepared by sintering porous glass

A colorless transparent, blue green emission material was fabricated by sintering porous glass impregnated with copper ions. The emission spectral profile obtained from Cu+ -doped high silica glass (HSG) by 267-mn monochromatic light excitation matches that obtained by pumping with an 800-nm femtosecond laser, indicating that the emissions in both cases come from an identical origin. The upconversion emission excited by 800-nm femtosecond laser is considered to be a three-photon excitation process. A tentative scheme of upconverted emission from Cu+ -doped HSG was also proposed. The glass materials presented herein are expected to find application in lamps, high density optical storage, and three-dimensional color displays.

Growth and spectroscopic characteristics of Yb : GSO single crystal

For the first time, a high optical quality 10 at.% Yb3+-doped gadolinium oxyorthosilicate laser crystal Gd2SiO5 (GSO) was grown by the Czochralski (Cz) method. The segregation coefficient of Yb3+ was studied by the inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES) method. The crystal structure has monoclinic symmetry with space group P2(1)/c; this was determined by means of an x-ray diffraction analysis. The absorption spectra, fluorescence spectra and fluorescence decay curves of Yb3+ ions in a GSO crystal at room temperature were also studied. Then, the spectroscopic parameters of Yb:GSO were calculated. The advantages of the Yb:GSO crystal include high crystal quality, quasi-four-level laser operating scheme, high absorption cross-sections and particularly broad emission bandwidth (similar to 72 nm). The results indicated that the Yb:GSO crystal seemed to be a very promising laser gain medium in diode-pumped femtosecond laser and tunable solid state laser applications when LD pumped at 940 and 980 nm.

Preparation of crystalline beta barium borate thin films on Sr2+-doped alpha barium borate substrates by liquid phase epitaxy

Thin films of beta barium borate have been prepared by liquid phase epitaxy on Si2+-doped alpha-BaB2O4 (alpha-BBO, the high temperature phase of barium berate) (001) and (110) substrates. The results of X-ray diffraction indicate that the films show highly (001) preferred orientation on (001)-oriented substrates while the films grown on (110) substrates are textured with (140) orientation. The crystallinity of these films was found to depend on growth temperature, rotation rate, dip time and orientation of substrate. Growth conditions were optimized to grow films with (001) orientation on (001) substrates reproducibly. The films show second harmonic generation of 400 nm light upon irradiation with 800 nm Ti: Sapphire femtosecond laser light. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

提出了一种新的制备光栅的方法，利用800nm的飞秒激光扫描蒸镀在石英玻璃衬底表面的金薄膜，通过烧蚀金薄膜在衬底表面形成衍射光栅。用波长为532nm的激光照射光栅，测量其一级衍射效率，测得的衍射效率最高为6．98％。通过改变激光扫描速度、激光功率、光栅周期等实验参数研究其对制备的光栅的一级衍射效率的影响，结果表明，降低激光扫描速度，减小光栅周期，或增加激光功率都能提高制备光栅的一级衍射效率。

飞秒激光辐照K9玻璃引起的暗化和折射率变化

对不同辐照条件下近红外飞秒激光在K9玻璃内部诱导产生的暗化现象和永久性折射率改变进行了实验研究。通过辐照前后的显微镜图片、吸收光谱、电子自旋共振谱(ESR)以及激光衍射实验，分析了K9玻璃中暗化现象产生的微观过程，发现暗化是由诱导产生的空穴型色心引起的。暗化程度和折射率改变随激光强度、扫描速度、扫描行间距变化而变化。光致色心的形成与非线性电离有关。对折射率永久性改变进行了简单说明，其机理仍在探索中。
