激光诱导等离子体开关控制脉宽实验研究

利用激光诱导等离子体开关技术，在1064nm的Nd：YAG固体激光器上获得了脉宽4．4～6．4ns的短脉冲激光输出。激光电离空气产生的等离子体开关控制脉冲宽度时，聚焦透镜焦距越短，压缩后的脉宽越窄，但激光能量损耗越大。压缩后的激光脉宽与激光能量近似成双曲线关系。在控制脉宽光路的焦点处放置带孔的Cu薄片可抑制等离子体的扩散，得到了脉宽最短可达4．4ns的激光输出。

Mode competition in acousto-optically Q-switched planar waveguide lasers

Multi-mode rate equations have been developed to investigate mode competition in high-power acousto-optically Q-switched planar waveguide lasers. The mode competition arises from coupling effects and temporal losses in the transform between guided modes and free-space propagation. Pulse-to-pulse instability and temporal beam distortions are enlarged by mode competition when the laser works in the multi-mode regime. The influence of parasitic oscillation is also discussed. A Nd:YAG planar waveguide laser has been established with a folded hybrid/unstable resonator. A maximum average power of 83 W with a beam propagation factor M-x(2) x M-y(2) = 1.2 x 1.4 is obtained. The theoretical simulation agrees well with the experimental observation. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Investigation of the spectroscopic properties of (Y0.92-xLa0.08Ndx)(2)O-3 transparent ceramics

The spectroscopic properties of (Y0.92-xLa0.08Ndx)(2)O-3 transparent ceramics were investigated. According to three intensity parameters (Omega(2),Omega(4),Omega(6)) fitted by the Judd-Ofelt theory, the spectroscopic quality parameter (X-Nd), branching ratio (beta(J,J')), and quantum efficiency (eta) of Nd3+ were determined. It was found that X-Nd of the host, owing to the additive La2O3, was decreased from 1.6 to 0.46; thus beta(J,11/2) was increased from 46% to 56.82%. A figure of merit of the specimens was discussed and compared with Nd:YAG transparent ceramic. (c) 2007 Optical Society of America.

国产Yb∶YAG透明陶瓷实现激光输出

YAG单晶是高功率激光的重要材料，近年来高透明度多晶陶瓷作为激光介质引起人们广泛的注意。YAG陶瓷相对单晶具有易制造大尺寸、掺杂浓度高、易批量生产等优点。在Nd：YAG陶瓷获得长足发展的同时，Yb掺杂的陶瓷也得到了越来越多的关注。Yb：YAG陶瓷与Nd：YAG陶瓷相比具有许多优点：Yb掺杂的激光介质无交叉弛豫振荡和激发态吸收，有较宽的吸收带，较长的荧光寿命及较高的量子效率等。因此，高质量的Yb：YAG陶瓷将是非常理想的高功率激光材料。

Transient Reorientation of a Doped Liquid Crystal System under a Short Laser Pulse

The transient optical nonlinearity of a nematic liquid crystal doped with azo-dye DR19 is examined. The optical reorientation threshold of a 25-mu m-thick planar-aligned sample of 5CB using a 50 ns pulse duration 532 nm YAG laser pulse is observed to decrease from 800 mJ/mm(2) to 0.6 mJ/mm(2) after the addition of 1 vol% azo dopant, a reduction of three orders of magnitude. When using a laser pulse duration of 10 ns, no such effect is observed. Experimental results indicate that the azo dopant molecules undergo photoisomerization from trans-isomer to cis-isomer under exposure to light, and this conformation change reorients the 5CB molecules via intermolecular coupling between guest and host. This guest-host coupling also affects the azo photoisomerization process.

Low-threshold diode-pumped CW passively mode-locked Nd:YVO4 lase

A low-threshold passively continuous-wave (CW) mode-locked Nd:YVO4 solid-state laser was demonstrated by use of a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM). The threshold for continuous-wave mode-locked is relatively low, about 2.15 W. The maximum average output power was 2.12 W and the optical to optical conversion efficiency was about 32%. The pulse width was about 15 ps with the repetition rate of 105 MHz. (C) 2008 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

Experimental and theoretical analysis of nondegenerate ultrabroadband chirped pulse optical parametric amplification

Experimental investigations of nondegenerate ultrabroadband chirped pulse optical parametric amplification have been carried out. The general mathematical expressions for evaluating parametric bandwidth, gain and gain bandwidth for arbitrary three-wave mixing parametric amplifiers are presented. In our experiments, a type-I noncollinear phase-matched optical parametric amplifier based on lithium triborate, which was pumped by a 5-ns second harmonic pulses from a Q-switched Nd:YAG operating at 10 Hz, seeded by a 14-fs Ti:sapphire laser at 800 nm, was presented. The 0.85 nJ energy of input chirped signal pulse with 57-FWHM has been amplified to 3.1 muJ at pump intensity 3 GW/cm(2), the corresponding parametric gain reached 3.6 x 10(3), the 53 nm-FWHM gain spectrum bandwidth of output signal has been obtained. The large gain and broad gain bandwidth, which have been confirmed experimentally, provide great potentials to amplify efficiently the broad bandwidth femtosecond light pulses to generate new extremes in power, intensity, and pulse duration using optical parametric chirped pulse amplifiers pumped by powerful nanosecond systems.

42CrMo激光焊焊缝组织

42CrMo合金钢C含量高、合金元素含量多、淬硬倾向大,焊接性能差。激光焊接具有功率密度高、焊接变形小等优点,适合焊接传统工艺难焊的同种或异种金属。通过额定功率为3kW的Nd∶YAG固体激光器焊接42CrMo,采用光学显微镜(OM)、扫描电镜(SEM)、X衍射、硬度仪分析了焊缝区域组织、成分和硬度变化。研究结果表明:焊缝区域组织为马氏体,热影响完全淬火区的组织为马氏体+贝氏体组织,热影响不完全淬火区的组织为贝氏体。从焊缝正面到焊缝背面的硬度分布表明:由于焊缝正面有保护气体的作用提高了焊缝正面熔池的冷却速度,使焊缝背面的硬度低于焊缝正面的硬度。
